You completely missed my point. I m am not even sure you read my comment, especially the last paragraph. I make an analogy of hegel as being one of the basic building blocks of philosophical knowledge. Also, I do not subscribe to the latest

Seeing people getting excited about hegel is like seeing a kid learning physics and getting excited about newton's laws. Surely, it's a step forward to one's individual knowledge, it is a stepping stone, but the human intelec

Late reply, but just in case: It is indeed a broad assertion. If I could summarize it, I would say that physicists in general (from the prism of the public view) is oriented towards "initial" and "final" states of time a

I actually went on to read this whole series a few months ago in search of what was wrong with some networking configuration I had at home. To no fault of the author, I felt like I trully learned a ton about DNS but couldn't apply that

My point is that contemporary physics is disoriented by hooking onto unftuitful notions

The only mysteries here are: 1. The certainty that an infinite entity (universe) can be determined to have a very specific percentage (80%) of something (dark matter) 2. The fact that the big bang is still being considered and cited as the

And that's why we should also write tests, to make sure the intention of the law works at all times.

I think coding the law is not just great, but also the only way forwards. A couple of things: - Comparing codifying law vs codifying human language/communication in general I think is very unfair. No doubt law is using the form of huma

Ok, so if Signal was banned for different reasons and facebook claims the ad campaign wasn't the problem... it means that Signal can create another account and run the same campaign again, Facebook shouldn't block them for that in

For some reason you extrapolated that I support government ownership of everyones houses. My comment was very clear, with the economy being what it is people are better of owning their houses than renting. When you own the house your only c

Most of my relatives have moved from owning their property to renting. The rents go higher and higher, leading people to rent worse and worse houses so they can aford to live. Those who still manage to own their home have a significant adva

Ah, the union vs anti-union discussion again. Seriously we should TDD our way out of this discussion. There are clearly some union policies that work and some others that don't. Can't we work out just the beneficial ones and enfor

Funny comments, but jokes aside, I think we're missing a very obvious reason why he has signal. Mark most likely has contacts that are super high up in governments and coorporations who use signal since they can't trust any other

You are looking at things in a vacumn and that's what preventing you from seeing the point here. When a gov actively bribes media it's not "just" an act of bribing that could or couldn't have happened. It implies pr

I would agree with your point but there is a problem on the scale. The scale starts from 0 and goes to 100. It is thus imperative that when you see a country near the 0 zone you think "Ah! Things are good there!". So the visualiza
