There is no clear limit to that expanded definition though.

I don't even think it describes the assembly process. More a base template or seed data for the assembly process to act upon.

Agreed. Plus, isn't that like 80%+ of what we do today? I realize some people do cutting edge programming, but the bulk of us probably spend much of the day shifting strings and filling in model fields and chasing webpack configs. Or m

Agree. Was hoping to see the mechanism of how it got in the rainwater. Fluff article.

Well, yes that is why the US is a constitutional republic. It's just that phrasing seems hilariously and ironically out of wack. It's as if some people think they know better then unwashed masses so they should be in charge regard

I'm always confused when I see people say (to paraphrase) "We need to protect democracy so the hell with what the voters think!". How exactly does that logic work?
488.
by mythrwy 4y ago
Yep I think you might be right. It's ultimately too much of a risk to all sorts of powers to have open unfettered real time communication and mass dissemination. Even the "good guys" will call emergency that will never end. O

Another thought: Maybe liberal democracy is not the final outcome of human civilization. You like it and I like it (presumably we were both raised to believe this way) but perhaps it's not really true. Just to question a base assumptio

If it were only Putin's Russia making stuff up we'd be in good shape. Otherwise, I fully agree with your point.

People already produce all kinds of fake news and doctored photos and false flags and all kinds of things. This has been going on since we developed language and photography I suspect. People already have trouble telling propaganda from fac

Because people need to eat! Yuma, Arizona is the winter salad bowl of the United States (and probably Canada). Great conditions for growing greens in the winter. Dry (lower insect and disease pressure), warm in the winter, lots of sun. And,

What you say seems to be the case. I've been thinking a lot about it lately. It's pretty easy to see this programing in others, but remarkably more difficult to perceive regarding oneself. The thing is (in my opinion) we can'

I've had somewhere around 30-35 jobs in my life. Part time, full time, not including contracting (I'm in my 50s and my first 1040 job was at age 13 over the summer... you could do that back then. I was paid $1.10 an hour, raised t

That's a good suggestion. Check out this guy, he has a way to root ornamental shrubs in garbage bags. One could go around town with pair or pruning shears and get cuttings of many different plants and trees to root. https://

Yes I agree. We didn't have a way to know before so there was an agreed up set of "facts" (which often were not upon closer inspection). The internet has laid waste to that scheme. But not sure the facts have gotten any more

I wonder if the primary biological directives "preservation of my species, my group and myself" plays a role here. Like, it's almost instinctual. It does seem a lot of religious edicts are based around these directives.

Woodpeckers are super cool but whow can they be a menace. There was one that would come knock my neighbors metal chimney years ago right at the crack of dawn. Poor guy could not sleep in. And the woodpecker kept coming back and doing it, pr

There is no sense in continuing to discuss it. I've made may point. I wish the best for the Ukrainians. But from what I see they might be in even worse trouble then I had thought. We might be as well. There is no genocide (yet anyway a

by mythrwy 4y ago
You haven't raised any real issues about genocide, which is farcical claim on it's face. Also, I'd think this obvious, I wasn't talking to you when referring to the Ukrainian poster. Also I would not be so sure the coast

by mythrwy 4y ago
The denial of reality has not been working very well so far for you. Neither has the craziness and hostility. At what point do you realize this? When you have no coastline and another 100K dead? Or will it take millions in big urban centers

There are no breakaway republics? The majority of people in Crimea did not wish to rejoin Russia? All people on what is (formerly now) Ukraine territory were happy with the post coup Ukrainian government? Is that what you are saying? If not

Ok, so the breakaway Republics secretly wish to join the West but Dennis Pushilin is holding them hostage. Ridiculous. I would advise against compounded the many many bad moves that have been made so far but it's free world. What I sta

I'm not sure how much of an understanding you have about what is going on there. The Russian speaking areas do not want to be part of Ukraine after the 2014 coup. The one that was full of Western intelligence and US politicians, includ

That seems to be a veiled accusation. Maybe you have heard about Russian bots on TV or something. Let me clarify my motives for you. I am not happy with the approach the West has taken in towards this conflict. Most particularly the coup in

by mythrwy 4y ago
Yep. The Russians are posting the same kind of thing for their populations to consume. I fully believe neither. Here is what I do know. As of last week less then 5,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed so far in the campaign. Contrast th

This isn't genocide, even by your very strained definition. It maybe becomes something like that though if this keeps up. Maybe we in the west should stop being stupid. Just a thought.

No they haven't. That's untrue.

by mythrwy 4y ago
That's unadulterated bullshit and I think both of us know it. "mass rape, mass murder etc". Look, I don't think the Russians are innocent in this at all. Obviously they have economic incentive and don't mind killing

I don't see the goal being extermination at all. If that were the case the tactics used would be much different. Control, integration, subjugation, colonization, there are a lot of other words that are more fitting without the "ge
