A strong West-allied military in the Middle East is extremely valuable. If France started a war of aggression, the US would also 100% stand with France, especially if it started with France being hit with a terrorist attack. I’m not sure wh

Marginally better than trump isn’t going to cut it. We need a good president.

Strongly agreed! This convention has even infected internal tooling at my company. Scripts end up with tons of cryptic three letter names. It saves a couple keystrokes but wastes engineering time to maintain

I mean, are homeless encampments ever permitted? Yet they show up and are very hard to get rid of. Its not a can of worms I would want opened if I owned property on the west coast, that is for sure.

You're claiming the native population of rich western countries are uneducated? And immigrants from the third world are all doctors and rocket scientists coming to save the day? uhuh...

I'm talking about the comment I responded to?? > The difference between $1,000 in net worth and $0, or $10K and 0, is infinitesimal

Depends on what your goals are, I suppose. The difference between $10k in the bank and $0 in the bank is gargantuan when you need to buy groceries for your kids.

And their solution is to gamble instead of making a budget? If they have $50/mo to spend on lotto tickets, they have more disposable income than they probably realize.

Whether or not this state of affairs is "natural", I do not think it is "good". Civil engineers still need to understand calculus and how to analyze structural integrity even though they can rely on modern computer model

Not "constrained" really, but every pound you put up in the air costs fuel. Making the plane lighter immediately saves money.

In my opinion, this is a graph of the downfall of journalism rather than some larger indicator of the attitudes of Americans. Journalism now is primarily ragebait and self-gratifying garbage.

So what am I supposed to do, never host my friends or family? Never go on road trips? 2 to 4 times a year is a hell of a lot more often than "never". If I can only afford one car, why wouldn't I get one that fits _all_ my nee

St Louis is also the most dangerous city in the country. Macro trends 50 years from now don't matter if I'm just going to be murdered anyway.

Your average Joe can listen to radio completely anonymously on a device which the government has no control over. Tor and similar tech is mostly outside the reach of the government, but is also way out of reach for the general population.

Literally the first sentence of the article: > To wean their country off imported oil and gas, and in the hope of retiring dirty coal-fired power stations, China’s leaders have poured money into wind and solar energy. Its silly that an a

The general US population considered Sputnik to be an existential threat. The original space race had all the impetus of a (cold) war effort. China putting a woman on the moon would be a little embarrassing to the US, but people would forge

> you can’t help but wondering it’s indeed not the interest of USA to have once unconquerable empires like Persia to be thriving and realize their full potential. This is rather conspiratorial. Great Britian and Russia have been involved

Vehicular manslaughter is already illegal, we should make drunk driving legal. Drinking and driving without crashing into anything is victimless.

There is a world of difference between poor enforcement and completely legalizing theft, which is what OP was advocating for. Even if the police were perfectly moral and upstanding, relying on them to respond to an incident in real time is

by dahfizz 3y ago
Seriously, it feels like all morality is situational now. People have no principles. Something as straightforward as "stealing is wrong" doesn't apply. "Stealing from people I don't like is fine".

Do you also think that Large Companies should be able to hire their own armies and make their own laws? The entire point of living in a society is that the government maintains a monopoly on force, and therefore can provide security to it&#

The paper says they tested the durability of the ram with a 5ms program-read-erase-read loop. Meaning each time they program-read-erase-read, it takes 5 milliseconds. Ten trillion cycles would take over 150 years. I'm guessing a silico

But I get minimum 2% cash back when I use my card. Prices are 0.4% higher because of the fee, but I still come out way ahead. You can easily get 5% back on gas, groceries, Amazon purchases, etc. American credit cards are awesome if you know

Laypeople hear professionals talk about how gold is a good investment, but they don't realize that professionals are trading gold ETFs and futures. Ill informed lay people then go buy a gold bar from Costco.
