I believe the summary was quite accurate, but in case it wasn't clear, let me also clarify; in the general case, violence is not justified. In the specific case that you mentioned, violence is also not justified. This is quite a clear,

What's telling in your response, is that you didn't refute what I said; with enough of a verbal altercation, violence is inevitable and justified. Everyone should be free to express their opinions without the threat of violence. T

It seems like the pendulum has swung back in favor of air-defense systems. Also doesn't help, I am sure, that the biggest weakness of the F-35 is itself. I am also curious, in the event of a breakout of hostilities, is there any way to

I take your broader point that empathy is important; this is absolutely true. But in no way can this type of rhetoric - and the violence it intentionally stokes - be seen as the only remaining possibility.

This is a much better response than what I started to write.

Honestly, when the first instinct is to resort to violence and armed conflict, I am content with mocking.

Genuine question; is this any good? Is there artistic merit to this work? Seems like an absolute word-salad, but would love to be told otherwise

I also think that nuclear has to be a foundational piece, but the economics and politics of the situation are stacked against it. In the US, there would have to be a continuation of support across administrations; no way we are building pla

Right - I think we can all agree that there is no power-generation method that is "good" for the environment, only for us. I still can't imagine a situation where our growing power needs are met without a viable nuclear compo

Generally I don't feel great about encrustification, at any level of the software development process, which is painful enough as is. Feels close in spirit to the whole MOTD annoyance [1] - although interesting to hear it has heritage

Honestly, is that reasonable to say about anyone? Framing the discussion, from the beginning, that he not knowledgeable about any topic means that the rest of the argument is centered around emotion, not reason.

Apart from the naturally contentious dialogue that happens on Twitter, the ethical ramifications of designing this study aren’t clear to me. Seems like as more data becomes available, recommendations will change.
