Kind of a way of turning something obvious on its head and painting it as a negative. When you are interacting with people, there is pressure to conform to consensus reality, regardless of the merit of that reality. Anybody who goes against

Most people commuting to manhattan are not wealthy or middle class, judging by the makes and models and visual conditions of the cars that you see on the bridges entering Manhattan.

Is there something about RISC that is still makes it better than CISC when it comes to per-watt performance? Seems like nobody has any success making an x86 processor that's as power efficient as ARM or RISC.

Protein folding is Turing complete because it can simulate a Turing machine by folding itself into a homo sapien, taking computation theory in college, and stepping through a Turing machine with a pen and paper for homework.

This bill is very specifically targeting an age range. I think in this case it would be dishonest to omit that from the title.

It’s not even the just the individual stories. The act of selecting which stories to promote and which ones to publish without fanfare and which to not publish at all is also propaganda.

Conspiracy, empirically, seems to be the default order of things. Very regularly we discover evidence for new conspiracies committed in the past that we previously did not know about. If powerful people _can_ meet in secret and agree on sel

I appreciate both the original joke, the reprimanding comment explaining the rules, and your comment. All are needed, in the right amounts, for this site to not decay into one extreme or another.

In the future, I wonder what other currently FDA recommended medicines we will learn don’t actually work at all.

Do you also have to account for leap years somehow? I think on leap years you need to add one to the month code for all months except Jan and Feb.

I think my stance is the total opposite of post modernist. I believe exactly what I can verify myself. Either with my own eyes or through real life people that I know personally and know how far I can trust. There is no reason to believe an

Zelenskyy dressing a certain way and standing in front of a green screen to look like he is in Kiev was just one thing that came to mind specifically because the poster I was responding to was talking about how Zelenskyy was so unique for d

I’m going based on what my experience of consciousness is. Why do I need to look up some definition when I can just refer to any given second of my experience on this earth to see what it is and what properties it has?

Is it possible consciousness will not be ever explained by physical sciences because it is exactly outside of the domain of what science was invented to explain? Physical science takes on as axioms that the laws of physics are uniform every

In a way, yes I would find it more plausible if Zelenskyy looked like the trope of president should look like. I sincerely would have been more likely to believed that Putin is ran evil warmonger, and that Zelenskyy is a paragon, if it wasn

Exactly. Makes it all the more ridiculous when people take Zelenskyy’s look at face value.

Don’t forget who you’re arguing with on this website. Most people here earn their livelihood by commercializing huge amounts of work done for free by others. They definitely have a horse in this race.

So does that mean that the peaceful displacement of whites in their own countries in Europe is a genocide or non-white supremacy?

Doesn’t your own lived experience cause any doubts that we are just meat automaton? Sure to an outside observer we can be just a pile of molecular reactions responding to outside stimulus, but doesn’t that fall short of explaining your own

Can this be a case of Simpson’s paradox? A movement will not resort to violence if there are non-violent ways for it to meet their goals. Violence is used in desperation so it would make sense that movements on track to not succeed would re

If Orwell correctly predicted that communists would want to eradicate the personal freedom that comes from car ownership, you think he wouldn’t have beat us over the head with it?

I don’t think republicans want this. I think all they want is the criminals already identified or caught to actually be prosecuted and not released back on the streets.

Note that this study bases its conclusion only on the subset of the population that had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during death. Deaths that occur outside of that ~2 week window do not factor into their analysis. Today only a small port
