Ok, thanks. I'm not conservative, just FYI, so I find it interesting to discuss differences with thoughtful conservatives which you seem to be. If conservatives value loyalty/respect for authority more than so called 'liberal

In cold climates, why not turn dead malls into giant indoor parks? That way people could go jogging in a T-shirt in February. Especially the malls that have big skylights, you could plant trees and greenery inside. Maybe install a few pools

Ok I understand that conservatives view morality differently¹ , and factor in a wider range of concerns², fine. But I don't see how voting for Trump advances conservative voters any further in shifting the moral framework to one they w

Seems to me that it just shows that for that restaurant, they chose to over-prioritize app orders over on site customers.

In the early 1990s there was some legal dispute over the BSD license. It spread FUD and prevented people from developing on BSD, and steered them towards Linux. This is from memory, maybe someone else can fill in the details.

Because SO rewards you for answering questions, there is an incentive to convince the person to change the question to something that is easier to answer. This is why you see posters being badgered to change or recast their question so much

Ok, here's what you do. Buy a bottle of olive oil and a bottle of vinegar (a fancy vinegar if you want, apple cider or balsamic, but not malt) then buy a packet of Italian spices (typically a blend of oregano, thyme, etc...) Buy some s

You don't even need to use such a dire example as cancer to see how wealth would get transferred involuntarily. Say your neighbour falls on hard times, and instead of just helping him, you offer to buy some of his land, or his watch, o

Funny, I come from the opposite direction. I've been using Linux¹ and FreeBSD since the early 1990s, and was using UNIX since the mid 80s (SunOS, AIX, ...) I find it really easy to deploy things in the cloud. I especially find it e

You overlooked solution a solution 3. Reduce the amount of work to be done. (Probably by more than half.) Since when was taking what amounts to a six hour exam every single day acceptable?

Why are we even bothering to discuss this on this site? Wouldn't it be better and less biased if we each wrote our own AI systems and had them discuss with each other instead? (And we should publish our training data as well, of course
