I appreciate what you’re saying but I thought McCarthy was not suggesting this is a world without good and evil. But rather the forces at work are beyond our ability to control or even understand. Termites never know why pesticide is being

Are you the author of the meta analysis? If so, thanks for your work on that. But I was not commenting on the quality of the studies. I did not think the author of "The Epistemology of Software Quality" was either.

Ok will do, thanks for the link. So far my impression isn’t that the book is intentionally negative, but appreciate the additional context.

Agreed. Currently reading the biography of Disney, and it’s so depressing to hear he was the punching bag of every writer, journalist, critic, and university professor throughout the 60s. Was Disney the conformist racist simpleminded backwa

He was also known for massive investments into wind farms, divesting his petroleum portfolio, and rallying fellow conservatives to take climate change seriously. You admit you’ve never heard of him, then read Wikipedia, and feel sufficientl

Segment the continental United States into quadrants. In which quadrant would the Notre Dame pin fall? It’s also about 1.5 hours from downtown Chicago. Tuscaloosa, Alabama is about 3.5 hours from the nearest major city with a sports team, A

I don’t disagree the sport started in the ivies, but not where it became massively commercialized. Right now the Northeastern football programs are not very competitive, with the exception of Notre Dame. I can’t do this analysis right now,

Yea I think the reason is that Western Europe is historically much more urbanized than most of America.

You're right, I didn't make that point well. This Alabama coach is famous for erupting in anger during the last play of the game if his player makes a mistake, even when they are winning 60-0. To him, every moment matters equally,

The prejudice and ignorance in these comments are astounding, so I'll try address the major themes. I'm defensive because, though I rarely watch the games, I enjoy listening to postgame interviews with the Alabama coach, Nick Saba

This is nonsense. Gmail is free. Inbox was free. Google Search is free. You can launch a profitable business on Google Cloud or Firebase in the free tier. They built Kubernetes and Go, for free, and it's very easy to port your Cloud in

Honestly, I'd love to see examples of rotted code that could be made exponentially faster. I'm likely guilty of this. And I agree that it's disheartening to watch how horribly we use these incredible tools. But thankfully as

The Botanical Garden setting could be part of the problem. The article says that your location is weighted into the results, considering past occurrences of species found near you. If you tried non-native flowers to the garden, it could hav

I think it's a more interesting topic. Another article on animal emotions would be inconclusive. But this represents real progress in ecology and environmental protection. A GPS sensor that fits on the back of a bee is incredible.
