Sure, it's just like that, because all that hacking of Democratic databases didn't happen. I think the assumption that the wrongdoing was a conspiracy to get Trump elected gets far too much attention and is a secondary issue, but

How long does it take to draw diagrams and modify and annotate them over time on note taking apps? You can do it in seconds by hand. The situation applies to drawing arrows between phrases and such too. For some things, the simple way is th

Plato's shadows have absolutely nothing to do with living in a simulation. He was talking about degrees of true knowledge and their alignment with his idea of a multi-layered existence. No multi-layered metaphysical construct in the an

It's already agreed that it's as objective a moral standard as one could be. Jesus was only referenced as a rhetorical flourish. I prefer Kant's articulations, but the Jesus books include a not necessarily religious moral phi

Well, the reason is that people in general aren't often ethical, when they seek to benefit personally. It's not taught; it's the default setting. I wish a little philosophy and ethics were part of the curriculum. This would n

Given the incredibly small number of unmanned, autonomous vehicles on the road, and the fact that they stick to fairly uncomplicated urban and suburban terrains, the comparison would be meaningless. The numbers for autonomous vehicles would

Sitting comfortably in a car with space and silence is not sufficiently analogous to public transport for the analysis to be flawed on this account. And how many people on Caltrain or a major subway can actually even get a seat and space fo

Too few? Too few in tech maybe, because more than 2/3 of tech workers moved here. Most of the natives above a certain age have a decent grasp of the dangers, but also know how remote they are. With the exception of '93-'98, I

Speaking of them as signifiers isn't useful here, but yes, these are signifiers. You said yourself they convey meaning. The implication of their use wouldn't happen without signification. One could even write a book about the disc

It's not straight-up counterfeiting, since they own up to not being Chromecast, but it may not survive legal action. It's a weak defense. Google may have already started legal action. The trademark infringement is certainly there.

It's the carriers (USPS, FedEx, UPS etc.) who leave your purchases on the street, not Amazon. Amazon can't micromanage their shipping partners to alter the way they do deliveries. You don't have argue with Amazon. You press t
