There's ZERO reason to buy one right now, but when they're at their normal price, they are fun toys.

I don't find this very convincing. Do you have any evidence for this claim breaking down all the different costs for the research and quantified the change in those costs over time, or is this just an apriori argument?

> Ending inequality requires asymmetric behavior. You lost me here. If you were serious about fairness, you would propose reparations for past harm, and an equal system going forward. It's absurd to try to replace one unequal system

Correct me if I'm misrepresenting you here, but are you claiming that the reason that something is invented is always the reason why it continues to be used?

Weren't these balloons at the altitude level that civilian aircraft fly? How exactly is it legal to do what these guys claim to have been doing? This is bizarre stuff. This guy should be thankful he's not in prison yet, even thoug

I see, so is your argument that they're misleading people in their advertising? Aren't there laws for that?

The dislike button was never removed, that is not accurate. The dislike count is no longer being displayed to viewers. Dislikes still exist. In my opinion, it is important to be accurate with language.

I think the responses are funny. I don't get why people are so angry about this. It's a chat bot

How is this any different than, say, asking the question of a Magic 8-ball? Why should people give this any more credibility? Seems like a cultural problem.

Well yes, in theory, but I have not seen that demonstration for NAFTA.

by beebmam 4y ago
One of your premises is that NAFTA isn't a free trade agreement. How do you square that premise with this quote from Wikipedia about NAFTA: "Passage of NAFTA resulted in the elimination or reduction of barriers to trade and invest

It's hard to believe globalization has a positive force on the world when China has become far more authoritarian in the last decade and has used its economic gains to loudly threaten its neighbors like Taiwan with annexation. I'm

Not necessarily, even in the evolutionary biology model. Something can taste good to humans entirely by accident, and be evolutionarily neutral (or even a small amount negative). Just like the reason men have nipples.

He said he eats no carbs.

> As an adult, I eat no carbs, all meat and vegetables This is contradictory. Vegetables are high in carbohydrates as a percentage of their calories.

Teams is the worst business app, except for all the others (Zoom, Slack, etc). It's hard to take an argument against teams seriously when in the same breath they advocate for Zoom or Slack, both of which are complete nightmares and vir

Are you familiar with linker hell? I agree in theory with your suggestion, but not for C or C-like languages which have such a poor story for linking compilation units.

The FBI is already profoundly ineffective. I'd be good with empowering it further it as long as there is bipartisan congressional oversight, same with our police in general.

This is a misrepresentation of my argument. I'm not addressing Hersh's other argument about the other specifics of the Osama bin Laden raid, and therefore fairness or dishonesty to that part of his argument is not relevant. I&#x27

Okay, so if I'm understanding you right, and correct me if I'm wrong, you are claiming that your definition of "bad faith" differs from Wikipedia's definition. Is that correct? Would you be willing to offer a defini

That's not the definition of a bad faith argument. Here's a definition of bad faith according to Wikipedia: "Bad faith (Latin: mala fides) is a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to enter

The Guardian did not issue a correction about Hersh's words. There was nothing to correct about them: the quote from Hersh is accurate. The Guardian issued a footnote/amendment (in their words), and here it is from the Guardian th

Let me make sure I understand what you're saying here. You're saying that I'm spreading misinformation when I stated that: Seymour Hersh, with respect to an article about the Osama bin Laden raid, said that not a single word

Seymour Hersh regarding the Osama bin Laden raid, in which the terrorist leader was killed in 2011: "Nothing's been done about that story, it's one big lie, not one word of it is true". Later on in 2013, he changed his c

Well yeah, I think Seymour Hersh's reputation is relevant. He's pretty much a conspiracy theorist in this era.[1] Including his claim that the US never killed Osama bin Laden. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

I don't think this applies to Jonathan Blow's philosophy about programming (in short: that everything in the application stack should be visible, understandable, and debuggable by its developers). So it doesn't apply to all p
