I like the author's conclusion and I think a good litmus test for the difference between craftsmanship and engineering is the adage, "If you're not taking measurements, you're not doing engineering." So when we syst

You're still talking in abstract terms though. You're arguing that if we accept more limits on the right to bear arms, it would somehow make us "lose our edge," but you haven't explained how or why you expect that t

Call it what you like, but people can't do whatever they want, so it is obvious that freedom is not unlimited.

There was literally a TV show called "Psych" that was a play on the phrase. It is quite normal to write the word correctly. I think it would be very weird if the show had been called "Sike."

Yep, in France it is recommended that if you have a non-Western name, you put "monsieur" or "madame" in front of your name on CVs, etc. to help prevent confusion on the part of potential readers.

Interestingly, the guidelines say nothing about non-English language submissions. I think every now and then this is okay although obviously it would become a problem for moderation if it happened all the time.

I think it's entirely possible that de-platforming will actually have the effect of de-escalating. It's like putting a child in timeout: it gives the child a moment to cool off before resuming normal activity. Clearly people'

Thanks for your reply. Let me start by saying that I agree the numbers would look completely different if it weren't for the Electoral College. That is because the Republican platform has consistently failed to win over a majority of A

How about instead we say, "appointed by a Republican president," so we don't get bogged down in semantics? Since Heller, Citizens United, Bush v Gore etc were clearly the products of partisan Republican justices. Sorry to be
