You focused on the word "accident" but the emphasis is on the concept of being "adversarial". Do you think traffic lights help if someone goes out with the explicit intent to kill others via their car?

Okay but black people were freed from chattel slavery. It's true that it was followed closely by jim crow south, but given an option between the 2, none of us are picking chattel slavery right?

How can it possibly be crappy aim? The shooter had 1 target, and he delivered a 100% kill shot. You could say "it wasn't impressive", but you can't say it was crap...

There’s no rational answer to this. They want thin phones for the same reason they like fast cars. The same reason that ice cream tastes good. Why do (some) people like jazz music?

If you want 2 people to look at the same photo and share the same experience, you have to fix the photo. If you leave to imagination, it's likely they each imagine something different.

The original claim is that people misconceive "that poker is about lying or that you need to lie to play poker" Just because other people may try to lie to you, does not mean that you need to lie in order to succeed. No one said &

You inferred it, but it's not implied. Instead of thinking of a bet as saying "I have good cards" think of it instead as "I have an advantage in this pot", which is not a lie. In poker advantages can come from cards

I’m saying this has happened multiple times in human history already. How does doing it with a computer add anything?

Definitely sounds like a plausible and fun episode. On the other hand, real history if filled with all sorts of things being treated as a god that were much worse than "unreliable computer". For example, a lot of times it's j

It's neither of these options in this false dichotomy. 100M people signed up and did at least 1 task. Then, most likely some % of them discovered it was a useful thing (if for nothing else than just to make more memes), and converted i

If I showed my dog the pill, and then showed my dog the peanut butter, and then showed my dog the act of me putting peanut butter on the pill before giving him this package, where does the deception lie in this sequence of events?
