That's a tangent we could go down but not really the point of what I'm talking about.

It does make sense. There is obviously a question of where the boundary lies and that's what we're exploring. I think you do have a point. But consider what you're trying to apply it to here. The president is not saying &quot

I disagree with the assessment. Nearly all of the points here are either contextless, are meaningless statements in themselves, take as literal the figurative, or are about aggressions that could only be accused of influencing others'

I mean if you already believe that the press is mostly Right in their reporting, it might be difficult to convince you otherwise. But there are so many instances of fake news related to Trump reporting that it's really not inaccurate t

I wholeheartedly disagree. The president doesn't lose his right to free speech because of his job or how much influence he has. There is a clear distinction between criticizing the practices of an institution versus criticizing its exi

That just means you disagree with his criticisms, it doesn't mean his criticisms pose any type of political threat to the free press.

But in the moments when the camera is at rest while the operator is trying to focus, the ocean is moving slowly in the opposite direction as the object, meaning that the jet is flying in the same direction as the object. If the object were

The parallax explanation for the gofast video seems less believable when you view the video and consider the beginning of the footage, when the camera seems near-fixed and the object is flying quickly by it, and the operator has to actively

I really disagree with this. Sometimes the important thing to know is just that a debate is happening. Then the reader can view both sides and make up their own mind. More often than not, the supposed responsibility to "uncover the tru

I think characterizing my questions as absurd is itself revealing of a bias. There is no judgment in my questions, I'm just trying to get at the answers.

Is this shortage universal? Have there been shortages before, either universal or local? Is there evidence that this particular local shortage is due specifically to coronavirus demand? It may be that the answer to these questions is "

You're making the same mistake. What did they use, spears? Can't you make spears from wood and stone? I guess you must mean swords, but I feel that the subtext of your comments is humble-bragging how obvious these things are to yo

Sure this is true when you sit and explicitly consider all of it. My comment was more about the intuition of it all. A lot of people don't carry it in their head. If you took a random sampling of American's and asked them "wh

I suppose so, but that doesn't tell me anything. Edit: Downvotes? I'm expressing my own naivety. Not everyone has intuition of the heights of empires and what that means for metal usage.

by beaner 7y ago
I wasn't even aware things were really made of metal before like 2,000 years ago. Crazy! Is there a history of metal somewhere? Bronze, copper, tin, steal, gold, harvesting, forging, etc. It would be an interesting read of history, sci

There are a few libraries that wrap D3 to bring it to react (recharts, vx, nivo, victory), but my experience is that to program in the "react way", you need to push chart updates through React's state management system, which

I'm not sure! There is the idea of the "stolen concept fallacy", which is to reason about something while denying that you are able to reason as the result of sensory perception, which if you accept, might mean there's s

I don't think all axioms are "merely asserted rather than defended". For example, one axiom is the existence of existence, which cannot be denied, because any question, doubt, skepticism, reason, point, or imagined counterarg

Yes, it does. Poor does not mean abject poverty. If the good is actually a necessity, someone who is poor is unlikely to refuse spending $20 instead of $10, to avoid death.

If people can't afford them then they won't be purchased and the manufacturer will not make a profit. The manufacturer must price it's goods such that they will still be purchased, and higher prices in periods of high demand

So there's no harm in short term price rise.
446.
by beaner 7y ago
If the price will have collapsed, that means demand is expected to fall, meaning whatever's causing the current demand isn't a real problem. Is that the case?

Your characterization is wrong. "Major effect" - to what end? Not the end of banning muslims. If that's the goal, it's doing a really, really bad job at it, since the majority of muslims in the world are unaffected. The

Okay... but a perceived motive and characterization of something doesn't actually make it so.
