Yes, in the age where you need more knowledge than ever in order to have a living wage, where menial labor is being automated faster and faster, we need less education. Good point.

Let me put it a different way - the kids campaigning for climate action are not convincing anyone who wasn't already on board. It's literally just a show that's riling up the people who are already supporters. It's harmf

And the 'whole idea' amounts to child abuse. A kid her age is not prepared to be a public figure and all the pressures that come with it. She shouldn't be up there period. And everyone who says that 'the adults aren&#x27

She can pursue it, but I wouldn't let my child skip school to do it.. Also, if it's related to politics there is a ton of misinformation and a child can easily be manipulated into landing on the wrong side of the fence.

I guess what I'm trying to say that is that kids, whether they're right or wrong, aren't really qualified to promote a public opinion on any issue. You also have to remember that they're being allowed to skip school to

So the idea is that children will succeed where the scientists have failed? It certainly doesn't seem to say much for the scientists.

We shouldn't suppress any voices, unless they're outright calling for violence. We also shouldn't elevate our children to become spokespeople for the world. Let kids be kids.

Sad to see. Although, honestly, the parents shouldn't have allowed their kids to put themselves in these 'activist' positions to begin with. What did they expect? And also, a 16 year old girl speaking at the UN? Is that a jok

They kill journalists who expose their corruption, not that of other countries. They most certainly have someone tracking him, Snowden mentioned that he believes as much in his interview. The US doesn't win much besides PR by getting t

I'm not sure what you mean by shortened distance between speech and action. I know it doesn't make it so legally, I suppose I should have said 'in my opinion, these are non-negotiable'. As far as why, I think that it&#x2

Inciting violence is unlawful, "hate speech" is not. What is "hate speech"? What are "assault weapons"? The right to self-defense is non-negotiable, like someone already pointed out. You can use a car to ram in

Would you like a ban on freedom of speech with that? It's just one amendment away.

Yes, as long as the government recognizes that the ones who created the problem are the ones who should pay for it, in other words the businesses and not the people.

Yeah I can see the fingering being useful, although beginner sheet music should have it. I meant the scrolling notes.

You can't learn piano this way past the most beginner level stuff. Sight reading actual sheet music is MUCH easier because of how close the notes appear on this visualization, you won't be able to tell what's what from far aw

Of course it is a crisis, but the timescale is crucial as far as the kinds of measures we take. Do we ban fossil fuels altogether, raising the cost of living for everyone and plunging developing countries into poverty while we work out a wa

It's a massive red flag to me when these sensationalist articles are still relying on thermometers for data. I thought they'd have enough integrity to rely on satellites at this point. Same as when you have statements like "9

Public opinion is not that important. All you need is government money given to research new technology that will make for viable competition. The economics will take care of the rest. And regarding the public, the public has plenty of reas

I see your point but it's not like we ever just mine a ton of gold and flood the market. New gold gets mined but it's not done at a rate that influences that market price. Theoretically yes, there is an unlimited amount, but in pr

Gold has been the longest most stable 'currency' historically. Governments with some of the largest economies hold large supplies of gold (and they're not trading it for BTC). It's value has been on par with inflation si

You're trying to reason about 'alien' intelligence in terms of human traits. What makes you think they are even interested in us at all? Maybe they just came here to re-up on potassium.

> "..disparately impact communities of color." Just want to note, to be fair here, the "communities of color" have next to or no active cameras installed (according to the map in the article). That said, this is sad b

I'm surprised how many people in the comments automatically assume that fake meat will be safe to consume. Sure it appears identical but so does a clone of a sheep, and yet they live a fraction of the lifespan of the original animals.

If you only create a fruit without a full grown plant to have produced it, yes. If you want to prove that eating fake meat has no additional adverse side effects to real meat, there would need to be studies. Have there been studies? No, the

$30,000 is the max that you will pay back, calculated as a percentage of your salary once you are hired. $10,000 is what you will receive over the course of 5 months of training.

> You might be confusing the population variance with the sample mean variance. That's exactly what I'm doing - thanks for pointing that out.

It could be that my memory of hypothesis testing is outdated, but being 1 standard deviation away from the mean isn't evidence of a significant difference in skills.

The apps you'd have to uninstall/reinstall manually for updated versions but I did still get a few official Samsung updates come through recently so I guess those aren't tied to the Play Store. I think at least one of those r
