The reasoning is money, the unreasoning is ethical sophistry.

The problem is actually economical IMO; Fools don’t have a skin in the game, and don’t lose anything from having false beliefs. They would be perfectly capable of discerning the nonflatness of Earth if their lives depended on it.

As someone who doesn't live in the US, I should tell people here that legalizing "bad" actions can be a net good. The lobbying market is big, and you can't extinguish it; You can only make it a black market. This makes t

Considering my family actually buys extra chargers, cables, and earpods, I also don't buy their env argument at all. Perhaps if you buy phones each year that'd be true, but then, you are having a much bigger impact by buying the

Note: Applescript is mostly abandoned since some years ago, and most apps don't support it in very useful ways in my experience. It's also slow. I imagine Linux would allow more scriptization, but I only ever use Linux for my serv

This was pretty much always true. I remember the old versions just needed a serial. A single serial number that could be used any number of times worked just fine. Here in Iran, retailers sold Windows CDs with the same serial number printed

The degree of bias differs, and we’ll be foolish not to punish the more biased outlets.

"Qualified" by whom? By universities? Fortunately, in SE the code talks loud and clear, and discriminatory rent seekers need to invoke the violence monopoly to get their way.

The social motivations for saying sth should not be conflated with the truth of that thing. In my experience, usually people shitting on their own group tell the truth. On another note, I find Western, affluent self-flagellation much more p

Banning discrimination based on correlatory truths has its own costs as well. There is no simple solution to this.

It's easier this way for a beginner. Things are consistent; You put `(setq foo bar)` in your config. It's very intuitive. (I have also lost some settings to customize's bugs in Spacemacs.)
