Sure, that's compatibilism. But it's not a scientific view, it's a moral one. However, most people would disagree with you. The lay person's view are actually more of a libertarian view of free-will.

You're echoing Hume's is-ought distinction which I generally agree with.

How am I conflating those things? Also false on Homo Deus, it covers both and much of it is about governments, politics and policies. Happy to quote some, but really just open the book on a random page you'll probably see that.

How about the article you're commenting on? It said exactly the same thing, just different words.

The schism between our science and politics is finally getting airtime. Liberal western politics are based on individual liberty and free will. However, mainstream science maintains that we're neither individuals nor have free will. Do

If you raised $1 mil+ why not pay yourself and get a good insurance? It's not like you're bootstrapped, what are you doing with the money?

I think this is the most important part of this discussion. Rationality, roughly defined is about achieving your goals. And Parfit's example about becoming temporarily irrational to achieve a goal that otherwise wouldn't be achiev

Was a side project in hibernation that didn't cost anything to run. Around 2015 we revamped the site and added a lot of features which caused us to grow a lot and became too expensive to run and maintain. Quit my job last year and rais

I disagree. When you're just starting out all this software you have to install is really discouraging. Plus some people don't own their personal computers and use the computers at school etc so it's much better for them if t

We're planning to add file and project tree support. For now it's more geared towards prototyping, intro courses, and experimentation. Stay tuned, we hope to have something for you soon!

Hey, we've looked at Minecraft and I think it's a great game to encourage kids to learn to code. In fact a lot of teachers teach Python and Java on Repl.it so that their students can learn how to tinker with Minecraft. There are a

Thanks will fix it (but only reluctantly because Apple is at fault here)

That's already supported via Expo :)

Multiple files is coming soon! As for Appetize, will check it out. For now I have to reiterate that Expo is magical in that after you download the mobile app it's seconds and you're up and running and then running the code on the

It's the same technology (backed by Expo) but it's integrated in Repl.it's platform and community. Additional benefits include the ability to teach and/or build online courses. Or if you're already using Repl.it it&

Deco is great but it's an IDE and the way we approach things is a little bit different than how IDEs do. Generally speaking, when you're an IDE you're competing with all the other IDEs on feature-by-feature basis because you
