All of the courses that I did really well in I memorised the entirety of the book that was the core of the course. Everywhere where I didn't feel like doing it, I was strictly mediocre. If you think you can understand something without

Anyone whose job it is to evade detection will pull their output through a scrambler. What this will catch is small-time criminals, probably in minority groups (frequently categorised as "high risk" by police).

No, because the US will invade and then perform war crimes on you if you imply that one of their soldiers has maybe performed war crimes and deserves to be tried for it.

I would say your comment is: - Vague - A variation of "works on my machine" And is therefore tedious and doesn't add anything to the discussion. It deserves the downvotes it gets, because they are for low-quality content.

It is nice, I guess you are fortunate to have a relationship that basically maintains itself. For most people, proper communication and keeping a commitment to open up emotionally when you need to is work.

When one half of a relationship of two people does work you don't respect, that doesn't make them a servant. These are two human beings that have divided the work they have to do to live their life in this way. There's nothin

This is reasonable commentary. That said, it would be more interesting to read if you gave some examples of optimism that makes sense.

It's not racism, micro-targeted or not: It's meritocracy.

Genetically superior humans are a net benefit to all of humanity. Inevitably they will interbreed with arbitrary other people occasionally and the technological advances also benefit everyone. Yes, it will stratify society - all of societ

We're just going to have to agree to disagree I think. I don't think what you listed are genuine pros, just things that such people say to make themselves sound good. The only one where you may have a point is the oil industry - a

Even if there are, they are a vanishing minority - they're worth taking into account but not to the extent of not taking measures necessary to save everyone.

What's the difference?

When you have hard to diagnose chronic issues, the first thing a GP will do is give you supplements. Not very surprising the people taking them are at more risk of dying.

I'm sure you and most other people can rationalise what you do quite well. That doesn't change anything about the harm you do, only about how well you sleep.

I've seen a lot of offshored work over the years and it is always a disaster. It comes down to a combination of language barrier, quality of hiring and general ability to communicate (i.e. can you bring your point across even if the ot

"It is a democracy" doesn't mean that it isn't also a frequently irrational cesspit. That doesn't necessarily mean it's any worse than at least two other superpowers, but it does mean it's not good. It&#x2

You're arguing for trickle down economics, which is a hilarious fantasy made up by very rich people so they have an excuse to dodge taxes. Nothing says that less investment in business means preventing wage increases or anything else y

I thought this was incredibly obvious, but when you are not inside the US it becomes a lot more clear that it's foreign policy or stance on human rights doesn't change. It doesn't matter who you have in charge. What US news r

Introducing an enormous amount of overhead because training your software engineers to use acceptable amounts of resources instead of just accidentally crashing a node and not caring is a little ridiculous.

This is the core culture of MongoDB - cutting corners to optimise things a little more and cater to a NoSQL crowd. It's entire mindset is fundamentally different from what you'd get in a proper relational database and ignoring tho
