I have not met the person saying it as a cop-out. In my experience they say God did it and tell us about him. It's only a cop-out if they say it to avoid looking into reasons for the explanation. The religious people I know, myself inc

But using that as your basis to ignore the question is ignoring the can. Religion tries to answer the questions on existence, meaning and morality (this is not meant to be defimitively comprehensive). An atheist who calls the religious pers

I think you misunderstood me entirely. I wasn't saying it was in someone's control. I was discussing analysis of the system as it is.

Showing that people are willing to pay a price does not make it equitable. You have to account for power dynamics and market conditions. I believe the original question was whether there was a relatively even or fair split of 'profits&

Thanks for the rant, was great. Used to play Eve a lot. In the end I got pretty deep into suicide ganking (destroying ships in 'secure' space at the cost of your own ship(s) for the loot). At best it was like 400m/ hour but d

I share your skepticism of the (inherent) potential of the internet. It's not a popular belief and I haven't seen a good solution... But in the mean time I watch as everyone heralds the dawn of the information age, awaiting the de

All lives matter is a direct response to black lives matter and is trying to nullify the claims of the latter. It is functionally abusive because it actively fights increased awareness of the racism that BLM was(is) working towards. The sta

Why are you belittling it as a knee-jerk reaction and sad? A group of people is experiencing horrible and unjust treatment. The implication of the situation is they don't matter, and the correct reformist statement is that they do matt

I think it's a great slogan. If everyone (society at large) aleady believed all lives matter then it would be a dumb slogan. It's a great slogan because currently black lives don't matter in many people's eyes. In my exp

Terrible headline. In the article it looks like Apple is replacing key markings with an e-ink display. Sounds expensive.

Sell keyboards I expect. They presumably have engineering and marketing staff so they should do great.

Edit: sorry for re-stating some of your points. I'm sort of delirious with a head cold right now. What's pretty interesting is that it could be both. Sellers get's a return. Upon receiving returned item they check that packag

Is a pragmatic solution more virtualized memory, other software solutions, hardware shielding, lower data density, or some combination of these?

It seems like the issue here should be that rentals/hotels are discriminating based on whether someone operates as an AirBnB host or not. Other renter's who do the same without such a notable 'incident' are the same leve
