As a general point of order, one does not need to have a "victim", in scare quotes or otherwise, in order to be in violation of an organization's policies. For example, a school may prohibit a teacher from engaging in a sexua

I didn't really look at the images past the first one. I looked. It is horrible. I can only hope it's a picture of a person putting the last piece onto the board, rather than black making the first move in a match. Looking now, di

No. It's set up with the initial board; no piece has moved. Kasparov is on the white side, and white goes first, so it's supposed to be his move. The opening moves of any game are so well practiced that they go quickly. Basically,

Color me confused, but this video doesn't show them building an aircraft. It shows people painting an Amazon livery on a Boeing jet. Other sources say that Amazon leased the jets, so this plane weren't even custom ordered. The vid

The majority of Biblical scholars interpret the story of the Flood as an allegory, not as a historical record. If it it the Word of God, why do so many people disagree on which parts are meant to be historical and which are allegorical? The

You might be interested in reading the section at the end of v.3 of Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" on superimposed coding. It was first developed by Mooers in the late 1940s as a way to reduce the number of punches

Your addendum is correct. A Faraday cage is much more like a passive mirror, or sound absorbing foam, than it is an active, powered, noise cancelling headphones.

By "the entirety of it wrong" do you mean how you said earlier "Louis X had already abolished slavery much much earlier in the 14th century", only the timeline you point to says "However some cases of slavery contin

Well, yes. But that's not really tied to the thread is it? I mean, the self-driving bus is going to follow a given route, and not have most of the advantages that throwaway287391 sees in Uber/Lyft. BTW, I don't know how much

Yes, Louis X abolished slavery in mainland France . That did not apply to the French colonies. If the Bible lead him to believe that slavery was wrong for French Christians, why didn't he also conclude it was wrong for non-French heat

Of course my summations need further research. There is a huge amount of existing literature on the topic, and I am no expert. By the same token, your summations need further research. And the books by experts need further research. Frankly

Again, you are using poor logic. You cannot say that since Y is after X then Y is directly and solely caused by X. Certainly nearly all of Europe was Christian. Does that make everything in Europe a direct outcome of Christianity? No. Or, i

"It either is proved wrong or it is not." I do not understand what you mean by that. Consider an 800 page physics textbook, where on page 234 it says that glass is super-cooled liquid. This is wrong. Does that one wrong statement

I think you have a loaded question, intrinsically tied to cultural imperialism, and designed to support your own beliefs. Europe, as the main world power for centuries, had its fingers everywhere on the planet. Yes, they were Christian. But

In the US, the Bible was used by both the slavers and the abolitionists to justify their viewpoints. The abolitionist book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was written in part to counter the pro-slavery argument that the Bible allowed s

Not death. I'll be fine with whatever the Swedish court system decides. It is not the role of the victim to determine the punishment. That would make a mockery of the rule of law. Consider the Amish, who "believe that bringing lit
