You don’t need a study published in a peer reviewed journal to know that vegetables bought in typical US grocery stores taste much worse than home grown ones.

They don't get any say once local monopolies happen, which is the case with broadband for most areas in the US.

Probably they were somewhat forced to do it for monetization purposes but it literally died overnight at my university when they started enforcing usernames.

The coastal city culture is already dominant in all types of media and academia and large corporations.

Same problem comes up with open offices. Some ass from another department constantly talking on the phone 9 to 5. I developed a Pavlovian twitch every time his phone rang.

Why is it so hard for people to arrive at the conclusion that companies increase the price of products and services up to where the customers can handle it? The primary motivation for companies is profit. Broadband and mobile data prices ar

They do vote in the CCP. The Chinese elected the CCP. Beyond some rhetorical nonsense meant to soothe your feelings of guilt, shame, morality etc when urging for what will be a second Cold War, there is no practical difference between criti

You’re just saying random things in an aggressive manner without making any sense.

I’m not confused, thanks. I’m saying a small population can easily oppress a larger population, especially with consent and cooperation from other populations. Numbers from here or wikipedia https://www.statista.com/statist

Aristocracy is France was around 10%. There are plenty of upper caste Indians (around 18% to 30% total depending on how you count it) who benefit from this societal structure.

Don’t just randomly accuse people of making bad faith arguments. I’ve use R a lot and while it has its issues, it has a much better interface than numpy.

by newen 6y ago
Numpy has a very poor API compared to Julia, Matlab, Mathematica, R. That’s just me comparing to the ones I know. It’s a mishmash of methods and functions, in-place operations and non-modifying operations, confusing indexing and broadcastin

I agree. Almost all arguments in favor of Python is about sunk cost. Not much about the actual language is appealing compared to modern languages.

I think Julia is strictly better than Python, both for data oriented applications and for web development.

Scream for the blood of their enemies while calling them sinners. It’s as old as time.

People doing their PhDs is one of the main ways in which actual research gets done. It’s a good in and of itself. Also, there are tons of research labs and other research positions that need PhDs.

Not even like you have to go there yourself. Just get friends and family to do it when they’re visiting.

Too true. I only found out what primaries were in my late 20s when I started getting interested in politics.

It’s from Matlab. That’s really it. Well, and probably {} are perfectly good characters that shouldn’t be wasted on code blocks.

Write down your policy preferences and we’ll tell you what you are, because you definitely have a label.

True. People need to stop comparing self driving cars favorably to the worst performing humans. Gives companies license to release these badly performing cars into the streets.

How can a site that calls itself a fact checking site possibly be called a color commenter?

Right, the US just stumbles into war and genocide like an innocent child while China intends to commit genocide because they are evil etc. etc. It’s a great narrative.

by newen 6y ago
The US is bombing 6 or 7 countries right now. It’s not China who is murdering civilians en masse.

To give you some context, there is a massive government sponsored anti-China propaganda campaign going on in the US in order to give pretext to a Cold War style ramping up of tensions, economic conflicts, military conflicts etc. because Ame
