I assume it's because there is simply no need to rail against a murderer because the justice system will take care of that, so most of those against ignore the threads, and the few that put their heads up get down voted by the passiona

Are athletes are working themselves to injury for the sake of improving the lives of the people around them? I do not see this. Athletes are competing for themselves: for fame, money and to feed their egos. I do not see the virtue in athlet

People often like what they are good at, true, but people become good at things through work and practice. I am tired of the general attitude that somebody will either like something or dislike it after they give it a little try, when prett

Kurt Godel kind of threw this line of reasoning into the bin unfortunately. No system can be both complete and consistent, therefore the authors statement that the set theory he is studying is the basis of all mathematics as well as consis

Indeed, given that most sql dialects have subtle differences that make them noncompatible with one another, and most ORMs have support for dipping into raw sql, sufficiently large systems tend to end up coupled with a particular database an

The classic example of this is concurrency errors or data corruption related to multiple non-atomic writes.

> This is hilariously a result of China's view No it really isn't, and it's certainly not hilarious. Taiwan's position is historic. The government of Taiwan literally used to be the government of the mainland.

Yeah it's the lack of black and whiteness that makes me so confused as to why you would brand the government of a 1 billion person nation as an enemy rather than say, a competitor or even an ally that behaves in occasionally intolerabl

Honestly I wouldn't know anything about rock bands because I don't listen to it at all so you could be very right. I just responded because this thread was talking about string/barbershop quartets, which are almost definitely

Thinks that China is an enemy government when the USA and China do 500 billion dollars worth of trade each year.

Guessing from your response, you might not know of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_band , which is fine. But now you do :)

You've never seen a big band or an orchestra? Sir please.

That is what high level chess has been for years: preparing lines where you have the disadvantage if your opponent plays perfectly, but it uses up their clock and gives you opportunities to punish mistakes in their calculation. The same tec

I reckon Ding would probably beat you in chess, even if you had 2 hours and he only had 10 minutes.

You've missed my first point. It's not rules. There are no rules to break. The "broken rules" simply describes systems within music that you haven't been introduced to yet. For example, major and minor are also call

You have to understand that music theory is not a set of rules to follow, its a set of ideas that sound good to western ears and therefore are very commonly found in most music. Not every song, but much western music, especially pop music a

Even if it is true that a percentage of engineers essentially do nothing at all, I would expect that an even bigger percentage of engineers are building things that do not have a market on account of bizarre decisions from leadership.

Well, mainly the majority of wealth is being focused in the hands of a minority of private individuals and corporations which rather hamstrings the budget.

The law won't make a difference for us, but it will probably make a difference to the super-market employees being phoned at 6am and asked to take on an extra shift today.
