Thank you for your response. It's funny, I think I agree with you on these points. We can agree that it is of critical importance that this is a private policy decision, not mandated by the state. That doesn't make it right. To me

Ideas have generally been considered protected ground and the 'positive' freedom of ideas is the basis of scientific progression (tenure for example is a freedom to be contrarian, not a shackle toward rational self mastery). The f

I have a 2.5 year old. A few weeks ago she (on her own) decided to dry her wet painting by taping it to the heat vent. We have never used tape in any way similar to that, and certainly have never used the heat vent to dry anything (it being

There are so many things wrong with this reasoning, it's kind of hard to know where to start: 1. Take 'Going against legal X yields more illegal X': This is a meaningless statement. For example, going against legal murder yie

I think the exact opposite is true - morality and free will share a symbiotic relationship [1]. When I find a bug in my code, I don't ascribe a moral judgement to its erroneous output. I fix the problem and make a new program. Applying

There's a sort of disconnect going on in our sense of justice between gaining explanatory power to describe why a person did something, and that person's culpability. We seem to think if we can understand why they behaved in such

I think you and the author are talking about different concepts. To your credit, for the author's 'real thing like an atom' here, the term real is ambiguous. The question the author is talking about isn't whether a parti

This assessment is very wrong. While All Lives Matter as a slogan is completely tone deaf, it does not in any way demonstrate that 'whiteness is the default for human beings'. These people want to call attention to the fact that t

I have opinions on you, but I wouldn't call myself an expert. If, however, I held a podcast on you discussing your actions and behaviors for 14 years, and had written 4 books chronicling your exploits (not including a new one about to

How many books does one have to put out on a subject before you decide they can be called an expert? ( https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/17151107.John_McWhorte... ) John McWhorter (and Glen Loury) have hosted a

Not to get into an irrelevant debate but I fail to see how having children equates to lack of upward mobility in the slightest. If anything children teach us about how fast things can change! I have two toddlers and their development change

It's interesting - I would think the exact opposite of what you said is true. If people are going to have a meaningful debate, or at least present water-tight arguments to back up some conclusion, they must be aware and explain how the

There are good examples of the opposite too - such as Boethius, one of the critical links saving classical philosophy from oblivion on the outset of the dark ages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boethius#De_topicis_diffe

The article is indeed confusing on that point. Calvinism in particular holds predestination and free will in tension - via primary and secondary causes. There have always (since long before and after Calvin) been Calvinists and Arminians s

America is number one for imaginary racists as well. All of your other firsts are pretty easily verifiable though.

Forgive my ignorance - but what's stopping employers/employees/schools from shifting their working hours instead? Doesn't that seem less drastic and extreme (and easier for a government to implement)?

I find this semantic critique interesting but I have to disagree with you. Underlying the critique is a hidden arrogance. Agency language is strongly tied to our ability to understand the mechanism by which phenomena occurred. For example,

Is there any work on creating feature-based sub-standard libraries that are aggregations of popular (and robust) crates but tying all of their versions together? For example, I'd like to put in my Cargo.toml: sstd = { version = "1

My intuition here is that there is always a fair bit of noise in the (data -> label) pairs. Models tend to air on the side of being _too_ expressive to compensate (just add another layer right?). Assuming our model is too expressive, we
