You're right. I apologize. An auction for a lottery ticket to win a gun. Are you sure there wasn't a raffle involved somewhere? :^)

No no, those are hypothetical. What's happened to you?

> The point is, people feel (not wrongfully) uncomfortable when their identity is “threatened” by people who represent themselves with a brand of politics that is oppositional to the one that markets to them. Do you have specific example

It is on you if you don't take the testimony of hundreds of thousands of black people that they're terrorized by the police as evidence of possible police brutality. Does that sound absurd? Is it as absurd as presuming the police

Laws are disproportionately overenforced on black communities. Your numbers are collected after a large amount of the bias is already baked in and collected by the people perpetrating the bias. Maybe that didn't occur to you. You'

Are you planning a murder? Lets cut to the chase. Just because we cannot decide right now what is acceptable or not for all possibilities in all contexts doesn't mean we cannot make guidelines and use our discretion in context. All r

There is no place on Earth where you can say literally anything and not have a consequence for it. People who subscribe to such an absolutist free speech make buffoons of themselves.

> Yeah I understand that they want to allow an org to make a choice so long as they agree with that choice. They are part of the org. They want a say in what that org does. Is this controversial? People want the world to be a certain way

The history of police being bastards towards protestors? If you think you have no way of establishing priors you aren't examining the facts.

One issue with lambda calculus that could indicate it is not the "simplest possible computational framework" is that there is no bound on the amount of work a single step of beta reduction will do. It is dubious to call such a bla

Teenagers are sensitive to the cognitive dissonance that accompanies learning how society works and their place in it, even if they're not yet able to articulate those feelings. Some are more precocious than others but anything a colle

Yes there is a correlation between Vitamin D deficiency and COVID mortality. But you are not just saying that. You are saying that the effect size coming from Vitamin D explains a significant portion of the excess mortality in Sweden . Tha

When you describe capitalist processes, some people take it as if you are making a morally charged argument.

Capitalist systems sieve out people whose goals are at odds with the accumulation of capital. By the time you get to a boardroom, everyone has been tested hundreds of times for their loyalty to profit. All deviations are unstable: over a lo
