While some population decline is probably for the best, we need to stabilize the population at some point. Otherwise there's no foundation for a sustainable civilization.

Well, it's not. In equilibrium, that is. Whatever you mean by it - it's not. What makes you think that these countries will let in the desperate fugitives? No, that won't happen.

It has always been that way. Just have a look at the U.S. imperialism in the 20th century. The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. Thus it has always been.

What makes you think we live in a meritocracy? Wealth seems to be accumulating in the hands of already rich families that use that cash to provide their kids with a decent education that includes secret-handshake-introduction to other money

It looks and feels very much like Scala, in my opinion. That's not a bad thing at all.

Because you have to lift all your calculations into the option context or you have do deal with the missing value all the time.

What's your take on Scala 3 (Dotty's) DOT calculus? edit: I'm asking because, from what I understand, the DOT calculus puts the Scala type system on sound foundations.

I tried to read the article but within the first paragraphs it sets up a false dichotomy to sell its point of view. If you need fallacies to sell your argument, obviously something's wrong with your argument.

Thanks for clarifying. Letting cattle and sheep and goats forage in terrain unsuited for agriculture is fine. I still think we should stop feeding that 1/3rd of our grain to cattle.

> I don't think it's unreasonable to argue that some sexual behavior should be considered "bad" Why would you think that?

I don't know what you are talking about. When you are consuming porn you are not stealing. At worst, you're watching content without a licensing agreement. That's not stealing.

I don't quite get the point you are making. Can you rephrase it?

I don't think the earth is actually courting flat-earthers. Trump is doing that, and more. He's legitimizing white supremacists.

False balance is to pretend that there is a actually another side to the debate. climate-change denial, Trump's election delusion. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_balance

There were even secret plans to set up stay-behind resistance networks in case of an occupation [0]. There's good reason to assume that similar projects still exist. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projekt-26

That sounds very nice. edit: I just realized that one of my old colleagues might be working for you. Send PavelS my greetings.

11 cases is not an epidemic, it's an outbreak. "a week after the U.N. health agency declared the African continent free of the wild polio virus." Why do you think the U.N. was able to declare the continent polio free in the f

I can find plenty of examples online of cases where aliens anally probe Dakota farmers. That doesn't mean it's true.

That's interesting. Why don't you publish your research, so it can be peer reviewed?
952.
by esarbe 6y ago
Yes. That's sadly true. It's difficult to change minds and it takes a lot of persistence. Since I also was very strongly anti-nuclear until the late 2010s, I have some idea on how to approach people in this regard, but it . takes

Is this a serious question?

Because.... reasons?

Yeah, thank god. Otherwise we'd could have accidentally done something (not much, but something!) to save humanity. Puh, dodged that bullet!

Yeah, to hell with you, Greenpeace, for trying to do good. Serves you right, you little goody two-shoes, for not having all the relevant data to make an informed decision, losers. Then again... Maybe we should rather look at Exxon, BP et al

Yeah, the symbolic method names can be quite annoying and (often) make code unreadable. Especially ScalaZ went really overboard there. I'm happy to say that the convention is becoming more strict in this regard and symbolic method nam

As an US citizen you can already visit all these places without restrictions. Why would you need EU citizenship for that?
