This is what so many "free market" hawks tend to misunderstand. The market is not an acyclic network, but is still strongly ordered in its power imbalance. 'The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage e

Well, you've basically just defined a Turing machine, so...yeah, anything computable.

5-axis. No one uses Stanford arms for milling strong materials. The sixth axis would be redundant with the spindle rotation anyway.

I'd just like to point out that (1) is the same thing as losing wealth since all the wealth is essentially made up anyway. If the majority believe that the economy is strong, it is, and vice-versa.

Cars: just filter by only "cars and trucks" and "owner". Bingo bango.

See, I completely equate "clutter" with things like banner ads. CL is amongst the least "cluttered" sites I use. It absolutely doesn't live up to the latest trends in UI/UX design, but the fact that it feels mo

Can you provide a concrete example? IME any online platform is going to be a staircase into the bowels of human nature. It's all about being aware you need to protect yourself online. If you're encountering things like child porn

As I noted above, not as much of a problem here in LA, but I totally believe you that it's true elsewhere. And honestly, I'm probably missing some great stuff not perusing FB and OfferUp. But there's one simple, guiding princ

CL is still alive and well here in LA. It's possible it's just in the markets I'm looking in (tools, machinery, cars, etc), but I've always preferred it over things like FB, OfferUp etc. I feel like the people I meet fro

Umm yeah, just couldn't make it past the whole "post-colonial meta-narrative [for white people]" bit. That's pretty much a good summing up of all the criticism I've read of the film: that because it was made by some

Maybe if our government would decide to subsidize healthy, local food instead of big corn syrup, more of us would A. Know what real food is supposed to taste like, and B. Would eat in a healthier way.

Can you explain why? I found it such a deft exposition on both zoology and philosophy. So good.

I mean, if we choose the metric of "presidents capable of not resigning in disgrace", then Nixon is literally the worst, and by an infinite margin.

Right, but wood is also a great insulator compared to steel, so where a steel beam's yield strength would go down quickly throughout, you're only going to burn the outer layer of the beam, allowing it to retain most of its strengt

In physics we say that an object is a tensor if it transforms like a tensor. Self-referential, yes, but hints at the fact that not all possible multidimensional arrays are tensors.

This isn't at all borne out by the data yet, unless you're talking about the purely tautological case.

This seems so massively self-centered to me. There is plenty of value to be found in the idea of sacrificing oneself for others or a greater cause. If you think your death is the worst thing that could happen to you, you're not thinkin

These types of products generally fall under the header of "lifestyle brands", and IME are experiencing a big boom right now due to the advent of "influencers".

LA has one of the best (if not the best) used car markets in the world. Prices are admittedly high for any vehicle right now, but if you do your research and are ready to jump when things pop up on CL, you can never overpay for a car agai
