Several months ago, my wife bought several bottles of pureed pumpkin babyfood, because small amounts added to catfood can treat some feline stomach issues. Now, we're getting diaper commercials all over youtube. I assume we're fl

It's a difficult question, because obviously violence is out of line for protests about many topics, while just as obviously necessary for some. I think think that violence or vandalism in this case was unwarranted, but there are s

>the language he uses definitely remind me of supposedly "apolitical" or even "centrist" rhetoric. Is that a condemnation, or are you being sarcastic? Isn't that what projects and business should default to?

This is what's keeping me from working on my own "John Carter of Mars" game. The books (at least the first 5-6) are public domain, but Edgar Rice Burroughs, inc has John Carter, Dejah Thoris, etc., all trademarked, and can c

My brother set out to copy out mother's pie dough recipe, so had her do it in front of him. He recorded every measurement, each step of the creation process, but it didn't work. The result was a perfectly serviceable pie crust,

If human society changed so that average individual intelligence decreased, but the human race as a whole acted more intelligently, did human intelligence increase or decrease?

"Tables don't scale" and "SQL isn’t JSON- or XML-native" are the first two bullet-points. I left at that point and didn't read any more.

Absolutely, and I am sure that is exactly why speech is claimed to be violence. It's to enable and legitimize violent retribution.

I wonder if scientists are more ignorant of philosophy than philosophers are of science, or the other way around? Either way, both fields really seem to fumble around when they approach the other's domain.

Ok, I don't understand all of the paper. I do like that fact that it's combining methods from physics and computer science, because there are probably many more discoveries to be made in those kinds of permutations. But it seems,

I agree, it's perfectly clear. In my humble opinion, people are bringing their incorrect assumptions to the question, and because they're wrong, are trying to blame the framing of the question. That happens a lot with the Monty
