I do believe you can apply science once a goal or desired outcome is decided upon. There is no known science that can help you come to a goal. E.g. science can't tell you that we should reduce pollution but can help if we decide that

No, and this is core to the point: Science has found no universal "utility" function that applies to all humans. As such its impossible for science to maximize utility, or in laymens terms "outcomes" globally for all hum

Science is partisan because its being misapplied. It cannot tell you what you should do, that is the realm of leadership. All it can say is whether a course of action may lead to a certain outcome. Whether such outcome is desirable vs the

I'm on Pro and while Candy Crush was removed, I now have Farm Hero's Saga and something called "Groove Music". Netflix also somehow made its way there even though I've never once tried to watch it on this PC. They

They had it under the umbrella of the Justice Department. The BOI was created because the Justice Department didn’t have the will or manpower to perform its investigative duties.

The FBI's predecessor was formed specifically because of fraud involving local goverments in the Oregon Land Fraud Scandal. But even before that the justice department oversaw investigating federal crimes so this was never fully deleg

At most companies they choose the marketing name near final release not at the start of R&D.

That futures rollover is a real killer, the winners were sellers of the contracts knowing the ETF would be forced to rollover.

The one thing I really miss from perforce/source depot was seeing the original code block when performing a merge. Its so much more difficult to merge just seeing both new sections.

If a field is harvested too efficiently it needs to be left fallow to rebuild lost nutrients. Leaving some in the ground is not waste by any definition.

If laws are regularly abused for extraneous purposes then we no longer live in a society with rule of law. Armed gangs are replaced by teams of lawyers but the effect is the same. There may be value in taking down tools used to aid copyrigh

Usenet could take quite a while to download your messages. All text websites and IRC were reasonable by the time of 33.6kbaud modems, but even by 1995 most websites had some graphics to download which were always painful. It only got slow

Lets be real though, nobody actually enjoyed dialup speeds. Sure, we were lucky we had the internet at all but when cable and DSL came around it was a breath of fresh air.

This is far from how it should work. The MPAA needed to certify a good faith belief the code was infringing. There is no reasonable way they could believe that the code itself was infringing on their copyrights. The fact they had no conce

Because we didn't know just how many people were asymptomatic when the lockdowns first began. The virus is still far worse than the flu but not nearly as bad as initially feared. At this point I think reasonable people can disagree o

I have hit cases, especially with the O365 admin panel where things are just broken in FireFox. They didn't even bother to deny FireFox, just didn't test at all.

Yea a lot of microsoft stuff doesn’t work in Firefox. They are the worst of all the big companies at supporting it.

If its something like modifying a string literal then I can’t see the problem. If the program is too obtuse to permit that then its a major concern on its own.

Are you sure that still applies if the company is bankrupt? Even if it does how are they supposed to comply when there is no money.

Yea but during normal times coworkers will be having face to face conversations at the water cooler which you will miss being remote. So you are missing external interaction, but on the other hand the playing field is level in a way that i
