I think actually it's because we fear death. Even if you're an atheist and know that when you die nothing will happen besides you disappearing, you still don't want to do it. Even people who commit suicide often would rather

Depends on how much your children need you actually. I've read somewhere that part of the reason women lose ability to bear children past around 40 is so they can take care of their grand children because that is usually more important

That's a very interesting point. While AI is not at a point to write programs, it's probably going to eliminate the need for many programs. A majority of programs exist in order for people to use them to achieve some result. If th

It's not the policy per se as much as the agenda and the nationalism. Humans are tribal creatures.

I agree with GP. Erdogan is clearly trying to create confusion. If it really was a small faction, things would be under control by now.

I'm not aware of "j" being read as "y". So I guess, yea, "j" as in John.

Somewhat offtopic, but a tip when reading Turkish names: 'c' is pronounced 'j'. Recep -> Rejep Necmettin -> Nejmettin etc

The only viable intervention is education. Case in point: school lunch in Japan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vwC51FxP10 I have an eery feeling that something like this will never fly in the US. People will complain abou

I'm under the impression that something like heroin is dangerous while marijuana is not. > Because teenagers in Japan most certainly do do drugs, both legal and illegal, dangerous or not. I'd bet you a lot of money that the pro

It's not just kids rebelling. It has all to do with communities breaking down and social relations deteriorating. Teenagers in say, Japan, wouldn't so much rebel by using drugs. There are tons of less dangerous ways for teenagers

Addiction is a personal psychological problem. How can the government intervene? The government cannot make you happy. Look at obesity rates. People get addicted because their life sucks. How can the government make their life not suck?

I think you're straw-manning here. The intent is certainly to make it more difficult, specially in the open. The premise is, if you want to do drugs, you're on your own. There's so much risk. You'll be dealing with bad p

It's way more plausible to assume that the average person (the average family person, not the average hippy) doesn't like to live in a neighbourhood where his children see prostitutes and drug users day in and day out.

There are several hadiths (at least in the Sunni tradition) explicitly forbidden the making of "images".

It's amusing to think about, really. A person getting rich and fame for finding creative ways to manipulate air vibrations in certain patterns, because these patterns give some special sorts of mental tingles to people who experience t

Was it implemented before the generic CSV import was implemented? It seems like if parsing fails it should throw an exception and fallback to regular csv parsing. Am I missing something?

Although I think anyone can fork it and rebrand it and always keep the fork up to date. It would be an exact replica, just with a different name.

It's a mere observation. Not a comment of what should be the case. And yea, the average male in the field tends to be the same.

Maybe I'm ignorant but having Electron on top of Chromium sounds somewhat redundant to me. Don't they both have the same core more or less? I mean V8 and Blink?

Honestly the modulated voice sounds like a gay man, or a transgender, or someone who is physically male but is trying hard to speak like a female. It's probably not the pitch itself but the manner of speaking.

The thing with his position on allowing university graduates to stay and work in the US is that he only said it in the book. I've never seen him say it in a public speech, which makes sense given that the majority of his audience seems

Yea. The opposite of drama and dysfunctional interactions is not happiness and cheers and jokes all the time. It's simply calmness and emotional stability.

That's motivation to give ratings, but not necessarily accurate ones. Actually since your commission per employee is likely to be very small, it's in your interest to cast a wider net by giving ratings to as many developers as you
