It doesn't matter because the 35 year old isn't using his brain to vote anyway. He's just going by what social media, the news, and peer pressure leads him to. If anything, an older person has better established understanding

OK. Why are you trying to get me to focus on Trump being a liar and never mentioning his abnormally pacifist record which is more important?

I've never heard that before. Have you got a link to those statements? I suspect you're not accurately representing their meaning in your summary.

However bad they are, it's the fault of the engineer. You can't excuse that with "but everyone does it".

Sure but it seems like they were particularly judgmental to her compared to her coworkers.

Not everyone has to be - I do about half the childcare of my daughter and am often the odd-man-out at child activities. But most people have to be because that's what each sex wants. It's not a great plan to be looking for a partn

What these stories always miss is a control. Yea, people are judging her as being incompetent but they'll do that to anyone who seems incompetent. Maybe being a woman was part of it, or maybe having the subtle mannerisms and body langu

Why do we need that for photo, video and audio? If it's about the general public believing something false, they're not going to check the watermarks of random internet content or trust anyone who says they checked it. If they rea

It creates a paper trail that transfers liability from the individual to their employer, which then incentivizes them to make it safe somehow, even if that means shutting down and demolishing the whole thing. Better that than somebody getti

Yea and that's a violation of professional ethics. Being corrupt or working for a corrupt organization in no way justifies it. Professionals are trusted by society to act responsibly even when it's against the interests of their c

Oh, I thought CE started exactly at crucifixion but I guess that wouldn't really be possible if people didn't know when it really was. So it's accepted that those 3 authors may have personally seen Jesus and followed him arou

What's the relevant difference between a written Q and oral tradition? Surely people repeating the stories to each other would also have established a fixed wording just as if it was written down. If the gospels were written ~80 years

That's not rejecting what they saw. It's the opposite - trusting what they saw when re-presented with "their" answers combined with what the researchers told them about whose they were. They had apparently forgotten what

Can you give examples of people rejecting what they see/touch/etc.? Or are they actually rejecting some other intangible information that's required to interpret those things in the "correct" way?

The collective consensus which you call "not really there" is actually the belief of the people who have the power to influence the society. I think that's why people are so interested in it - because it matters for governmen

Luckily the integrals of step 4 are already worked out in text books and research papers for all the problems people commonly use FEA for so you can almost always skip 1. 2. and 3.

I work in this field and it really is stagnant and dominated by high-priced Ansys/etc. For some reason silicon valley's open sourceness hasn't touched it. For open source, there's CalculiX which is full of bugs and Code

It's going to be a standard within Tesla, so in that way it's a standard. It sounds like they anticipate benefitting from cost reduction themselves even if nobody else uses it.

Yes but they're not robot arms so it's not as fascinating. The length of the arm amplifies error so if you made a "mechanics and steppers" arm with the same positional accuracy as a printer, the motors would have to be m

You're assuming we're all being poisoned. We might not be, and clearly if we are, it's not a huge effect because we're still not obviously more diseasous than before. It could even be that the benefits of these chemicals

This is misleading. "at levels similar to those detected in humans, [...] egg cells with the wrong number of chromosomes." So where are all these people with the wrong number of chromosomes? They should be everywhere. Maybe all th
