Just want to make sure I'm understanding you here: are you making the claim that the US should not have troops in Syria, even though they are there at the request of the people who are being terrorized by supporters of the Islamic Stat

In the event of a country interested in the annexation and colonization of it's neighbors (like with China and its desire for Hong Kong, Taiwan, Senkaku island, and so on), there are three options. 1. A hot war emerges due to it's

There's an interesting theory about mitochondria and melatonin secretion caused by near-infrared light that may be causing the different health outcomes, which historically are correlated very strongly to Vitamin D serum levels (where

Of course, and that's totally fine! I'm glad the film was made, and like I said, I didn't hate the film. I was just commenting on my own perspective on the film: that it was unrelatable for me.

I found it really hard to relate to any of the characters in the film, to the point where they were barely recognizable as humans. Does it make sense, in a world like the one in Gattaca, for a person that is part of a discriminated class, t

The cold war against the Soviet Union was an attempt to manage a communist power insistent on expanding its borders through coups, annexations, and puppet states. The whole point of a cold war is to stop a country from committing territoria

Couldn't disagree more, from my own experience, if performance is important for your service.

Not trying to be rude here, but this isn't anywhere close to what a proof is.

Not really, no. It's an awesome tech.

It's on you to prove your claims. I'm not going to do your work for you.

No, it can't.

I would ask them: what could I do to test your claim? And if it is unfalsifiable (which is almost certainly is) I'll disregard it as a waste of time.

I think it's a huge mistake. The great labor shortage is just beginning. You can thank the retiring boomers for that. (And I hope they enjoy their retirement!)

Yeah but that show isn't for kids. Not that kids can't watch it, it's just not very interesting to them in my experience. Popular media for kids now typically is gaming media and/or fanfiction. Undertale, FNAF, Harry Pot

Seems to me like a pretty unscientific way to conclude whether a food is edible (or good for you). But it makes sense of course, if you didn't have access to modern science due to poverty or era.

It's pretty clear, having been part of the hiring and firing process of several large US tech giants, that these companies have zero idea what they're doing in the performance/review process. This kind of bullshit exists sole

Seems like the best response is a union drive. Why haven't Intel workers pushed for this? This is how you fight back.

This is something people should talk about with their doctors. Diabetes (and pre-diabetes) is perfectly manageable if people are both aware of their condition and learn how to manage it. For what it's worth, raw unprocessed fruits (inc

Even better yet: don't presume (virtually) any of your beliefs are 100% right in the first place.

Why do people see this as even remotely unethical? It seems to me that it's great that plenty of younger people are getting essentially free tutoring sessions and fun friendships/relationships out of it. Unless there's sexual

I don't understand why people care so much about these online faux-communities. A language or technology should be able stand on its own without a community. Rust can easily do that. It does for me. I couldn't care less about what

Try building a Linux system from scratch! It won't be as functional immediately, but you'll learn a lot.

When you say that the advocacy for Rustlang can be "best explained in religious terms", how did you come to the conclusion that, when quantified, the other reasons for this behavior are less than the religious one? Are you certain

Likewise, I get annoyed when I hear people scream "publish the algorithm!" at social media companies. There isn't an algorithm. There's an enormous number of applications, some of which are data science/ML-based, th

That's a valid hypothesis, and I think there are some counter examples to your claim, certainly. GPUs are a great example of a manufactured good that encountered an enormous supply chain disruption event, inflated massively, and then n

Are you suggesting that people are missing in the workforce in the US because of the federal reserve's policies, and if so, by what mechanism do you believe this is happening?

I have plenty of friends who are emotionally and physically invested in MtG and they certainly want to hate WotC. People love to hate things, especially gaming communities, in my experience. Hating something invigorates a community. Game co
