We should fix multicast to help make decisions like this easier. Right now each additional IP-streaming listener is an incremental cost on the broadcaster - radiating broadcast has a huge advantage here, which proper multicast would remove.

Server-side is very big - in fact, a long time ago the part called simply "the Big" got too big and now there are multiple Bigs.

Thinking about this some more, I still don't understand. If the goal was door safety, why not use the same release systems automatic trains (eg underground) have?

Comparative religion disagrees with you. And you'll struggle to prove that the differences fit a random distribution or anywhere like it.

I think you're talking about the anthropological meaning of moral relativism (and we probably agree there). But the rest of us are talking about the philosophical sense. There's a very good overview of that here: http:/&#x2F

Your position is relativist. And you asked why relativism was so hard to accept. Well, like I said way upthread, it's because if you take a relativist position to its conclusion, you generally end up somewhere people find hard to acc

But you accept that people can fight and decide what the rules are? That you can have a meaningful discussion about which coding standard is the best, and why, and reach a conclusion you all agree on? Because metaethical moral relativism

Again, it's not binary: you don't have to accept a moral objectivism just because you deny relativism. I too deny that any of the axioms are the one objective morality (although the clusters of moral belief over time are nothing l

It's not the punishment that's relevant, it's the claim, or the ability to judge behaviour by a moral standard. You can judge behaviour even if you're too small and weak to enact punishment. But if you're a moral re

None of that screed explains why you felt compelled to threadshit with "not worth 10¢ to me". You are able to "structurally read" to see what's going on without such comments, surely.
