Let me put it this way. I'm having a disagreement with my wife. Her voice starts to get louder. A logical course of action would be to point out that she is not currently calm, and that she should calm down or resume the conversation a

I understand what you're trying to get at. I listened to the DNC. They kept repeating that this moment is more critical than any other in history. I don't buy that. After Japan annihilated our fleet in Pearl Harbor, and Nazis were

I really didn't explain it yet. Did I? Let me try this. The battle is asymmetric. One side, Trump, is using fear. The other side, Scientific American, is using logic. Fear actually gets voters off their couches and into the voting boot

Thanks for correcting my typo. Yes. I've read first hand accounts about what happened in Venezuela. About twenty years ago, Chavez turned a democracy into a dictatorship. How could this possibly happen? Well, one ingredient was that th

I hear you. I agree that what they wrote is limited to just the candidate and not the voters. I even agree that Trump is unscientific, illogical, fear mongering and dangerous. Wait. I went beyond what you said. Sorry. But what is the coroll

You make a good point. But take an objective look at all the other responses on this page. How many of them contain the hidden assumption that Republican voters are stupid? I see a few. You might not be able to see it right away. You have t

I'm very disappointed that Scientific American endorsed a political candidate. The reason is that this act adds to the polarization of this country. It does nothing but add more hate to the world. It brings politics into an area of lif

Sometimes, the interviewer will purposely give you a question beyond your reach. There are a few reasons. - To zero in on what you already know. - To see how you react in a situation where you don't have all the information. What is yo

Why is Massachusetts #5 on the list? Just coronavirus in general? How would moving help? Is racism worse in Boston than other cities? If anyone has a guess, let me know. Maybe since people are working remote, and their kids are going to sch

When I first started compiling code, there were often pages and pages of compiler errors. I felt that I had to read all the errors every time, and then somehow the most important information would magically emerge from taking in the big pic

I agree that no one really knows. My reasons are a little different. Look at what happens when there is a run on a bank. If the bank is insured, then some other bigger entity says they will pay all the IOU's. Either they actually pay t

Wow, @Tiktaalik. Your claim has crossed the line to a personal attack which should not be tolerated. Please stick to discussing the issues instead of making personal attacks in the future.

I've read the 10 page memo several times. I strongly disagree with his central ideas. However, I see them as political thoughts. Political thoughts I strongly disagree with. And the way I look at it, he was fired because of two things.

It's possible that half the articles in today's New York Times are already being written by GPT-3. 600 words that rattle on and add no information beyond what is stated in the article's title.

What if they are just annoying enough to want them off your app, but not quite bad enough for their ISP to turn off their account? My guess is that most cases would fall into this category, and only a rare few would be so bad that an ISP wo

"Units can have different historical values. A foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters. Before 1959, though, it was 0.3048006 meters. This is means that all historical documents have a different measurement of foot. And there was a pe

No. I think there are two separate camps within the Democrats, with very little overlap. Progressives on the far left, and centrists. Think Sanders vs. Biden, for example. And /r/politics is completely dedicated to propping up the
