It wasn't a grasp. The rhetorical effect of your comment was to imply some sentiment from 5F36B5F62640 on 'what ought to be'. Yes, that is no longer accusatory; and it is correct: there are other sets of people that would no

You created a 'should' from a 'would', and therefore implied that 5F36B5F62640 had ill-feelings towards Indians. I'm not attacking you personally, nor am I speaking to you personally. I am just pointing out to anybo

Fixed. I can imagine that even if it is difficult to replicate broad perspectives independently it is worth trying to do so. I think the internet will certainly make it easier to do so now, too. Additionally you have a lot longer than 4 yea

Those degrees aren't worth their cost. A better recommendation, and a path that some STEM students have already taken, is independent study of the Liberal Arts curriculum. Unfortunately, even if you do this, you will still have to deal

No, it's not merely logical, it's instrumental. Curtis Yarvin had a bone to pick with progressive society. I think it's highly likely that he still thinks it is ignorant, just as it does of him. However, I don't think mi

Not sure if you disagree with me or if you're just being sarcastic. Being enslaved is an awful fate but it is a hell of a lot better than being slaughtered because your oppressors can't find a use for you.

He tried to explain that opinion further: "The ability to survive as an agricultural slave is a talent." I've no idea whether Spaniards and Englishmen really did find Indians unfit for slavery but I guess the argument that is

Would you say that Peter Thiel was "a blueprint" for what happened to Mother Jones? It seems like the system has worked like this for a long time.

Yes, but finding tactics reprehensible won't change the tactics of powerful people and organisations. One can consistently dislike how the justice system is controlled by money, but one can't consistently take sides between Gawker

Sure, it's bizarre that justice has to happen this way. But you can't honestly think a big media company like Gawker should be allowed to break the law and humiliate others just because their money protects them from their victim&

Gawker broke the law. And, their whole business model seems to have been predicated upon the ability to victimise people who have no recourse. Not even Hulk Hogan had the money to fight back against them. Given this, the argument that Thiel

The ASI has two great articles on why the UK should leave [0] and what economic/political relationships they should take part in if they do [1]. It's a far better read than the fear-mongering available elsewhere. I am voting leave

I would caution against following the DRY dogma too early or without thought about why people do so. I'd also caution against the "go DRY after 3" rule because it's not moored to the actual software architecture - it cau

That's true, but that's probably due to the highly polarised content of niche political sites. What I am saying applies to sites that attract a mixture of people with different politics, gender, age, class, skills, etc. There are

There's no foolproof way of detecting bad bosses and environments. What you need to learn is: (1) How to deal with difficult people. It's very likely that you'll have to deal with personalities and egos like this at some poin

Would it be legal to write a Twitter bot that detects mentions of pay-walled academic papers and responds with a SciHub link? This seems like it would be a good way of promoting the service to the wider masses.

Ah, you are right. It's not so much that the compiler doesn't know something, but that the compiler does know something : T could have been an non-printable type. You are being protected against panics that might have resulted fr
