Not really, actually. This violence was perpetrated by a nation, by something attempting to be a state. That means this is not individuals deciding to do something, this is a network organising these attacks. Yes currently that network is p

The thing I keep finding problematic about declarative approaches is that nobody knows them. That means if you're not a lone wolf on a project, the people editing your declarative state machine are going to be unfamiliar with it. Aside

I think you need to read up on some more history.

First crusade: 1096 AD Muslim expansion wars: 736 AD In a way you're right, you've just got the agressor wrong. In fact the crusades were started because of muslim agression. Because, and I'm quoting muslim historical sources

Doesn't seem to be reason enough for "us" to actively target civilians (no despite the news, we do not target civilians randomly, there's just a lot of mistakes - including stupid ones). Besides these are extremely empty

Because it's not like attacks like this weren't committed by muslims before ? In reality they've been at it since the early middle ages.

What the Kurds ever did to provoke them ? The Yezidi ? The Shi'a ? The Iranians ? Iraqi Christians ? Assyrians ? Alawites ? Druze ? The Lebanese ? Even if I can sort-of understand that Israel, Turkey and Jordan did do a few attacks, it

Can we please drop this pretense ? One only has to look at the terrorists to know for sure that provoking them is not the issue, neither is poverty, or racism. I'm also seriously wondering what the Kurds ever did to provoke them ? The

Looking at those arrested for joining ISIS here in my home country I don't know how you can say that. They were not poor, they were not excluded or treated in a racist manner at all. And there are very little lines between them, men an

I'm not sure that Mulan is really that much more of a stereotype than, say, Shan Yu or even the emperor. They're all Greek style heroes : rejected by their parents/city/mother/... (or at the very least against their

It's a fun example of Jevon's paradox though. The more efficient the insulation ... the more heat is needed to warm houses (because people don't consider the cost of heating anymore is the reason usually given). https:/

That just means that food commonly eaten in the US doesn't allow you to avoid cavities. It doesn't mean there are no such diets, nor that there aren't diets typical for some regions that avoid cavities. Caries is also an infe

It would give us one more point of serious divergence between our physics theories and the real world. What would that give us ? Good question. Something between what the discovery of the bandgap in semiconductors got us and what finding ou

Except this is more fun. Like a few other devices before it, the emdrive (claims it) doesn't do what physics predicts it should do, without offering either explanation or theories to replace existing physics. This certainly seems to ma

The problem is that in these top tech companies you can actually advance because you're good. Yes that means "climbing over others", and of course, it's rather likely that you are not in fact the best. The alternative is

Exactly. There is an existing legal and moral framework for precisely these sorts of situations. It seems to work very well for the emissions scandal too, so why mess with it. Even if the programmer was fully aware of what they were doing,

Yeah this is one of those C++ template tricks where one wonders if it's really worth it doing it in C++. Also the purpose seems to be to mark every build as unique. You'd want to store that number somewhere, or it wouldn't be
