You're making a general argument against revisionism but you seem to miss the point that the specific critique of gluttony / being fat / "fat shaming" is an aspect of the current morality that is imposing itself i

I'm not talking necessarily about the wider economy, rather only "Companies that are capable of succeeding with remote workers" as I stated, regardless of the label you want to apply to them. But certainly tech/software

You could say the same about being in the office, or not. If the work can get done remotely who cares about coming into the office. Companies that are capable of succeeding with remote workers are going to have an advantage as they will hav

It's not necessarily about the plane structurally handling it, but that if it occurs shortly after takeoff, there isn't much altitude to pull out of a steep dive before crashing. The salient point of this post is how close the pla

Think you're just missing the obvious: much of the tech scene is simply not pro-neutrality or pro-free speech, they are pro their specific values having dominance and anti any platforming of counter discourse. This is actually more tru

Quantity has a quality all it's own. But also, this is an "AI", not human thought. Why conflate the two as if they are equivalent? We are not at the point where machine learning is smarter or produces better quality content t

It's hinted at here, but film produces a much better overall look than digital. It is just that digital is way cheaper and easier to work with. There is certainly more versatility in what you can create in post production with digital

Who cares? Why is everyone obligated to respect or admire your worldview? Why can't (like happens with religion) it get belittled and made fun of, ridiculed etc? We don't all have to like or agree with you. Perhaps some people thi

The reserve currency built atop the petrodollar system produces a cycle of the rest of world needing to acquire dollars to trade for commodities and most other commerce around the world. Because it gains this reserve status, it has stabilit

So what? Those low skilled workers want your money just the same, why shouldn't we give it to them?

And the problem with the upper middle class and middle class, and from the developed to the developing, from the perspective of those lower who want your stuff, is solved by redistributing your stuff to their pockets. There can be more than

Matters to you because you wouldn't be harmed by it? All egalitarian, equality doctrines will end up here, why wouldn't they? What is the limiting principle? This is why they should be rejected. Pretty funny to see the outrage whe

3rd party trust and central point of failure. I don't agree that we've seen Bitcoin be controlled by a single entity or that anyone has power to modify it against the will of market. I would argue the things you don't see a n

You would always need a central authority to reconcile the state of the physical world with the digital ledger. At that point what is the blockchain for? Or, what does the network look like that "runs" the blockchain? Surely there

You still have to connect with data somewhere which often means running an api server connecting to database. There's certainly options to outsource this to managed services, but "serverless" and distributed systems can often

Try a crossfit gym with group classes and attend at the same time a few times a week. You'll get to know people and be involved in a "shared struggle" which is a good way to build friendships.

It's also a statistical question that involves how many black holes there are. Do you have a strong sense of that number, because I sure don't? Quick search says there are a very large amount of black holes but maybe not so many s
