scuse me, is there another major religion in modern times whose popular leaders sanctify taking the lives of disbelievers to get to heaven? I'm waiting, I'd love to hear about another one.

hahah. I never really comprehended what "I'm going to slide my hand up until I meet resistance" meant. I guess it depends which way the camel's nose is facing, what kinda resistance they're gonna get. I did meet a l

Hate to say it, but I finally just sold my soul and got Global Entry, and no one's even tried to touch my balls since hah

And far less likely to stab someone than the general population. It's not a great analogy, but the same applies to registered concealed carry gun owners. They're not the people who shoot people.

okee yeah, and rules are rules, and there's a reason to think that. It would be nice if we lived in a world where rules could be bent in some cases for individuals if they actually posed no theeat, but we all have to deal with the lowe

I think you misunderstood me. That's exactly what I'm saying. And I'm saying that Sikhs with or without ceremonial blades are no more of a threat than Mormons wearing special underwear. [edit] To be more specific: An individu

Honestly, I would just give them a pass to carry a ceremonial knife, if they could prove they were Sikhs and not someone pretending to be. But I guess that's why we can't have nice things and why the same rules have to apply to ev

As a white guy who was caught accidentally carrying a large knife once through security, at the bottom of a carry-on backpack I'd had since high school, I don't think it's in any way essential to use racial or ethnic markers

by noduerme 9mo ago
It's screwed up that skin color is a marker that would lead an ignorant provincial quasi-cop to assume someone is of a particular ethnicity, and even more so that that ethnicity would lead them to believe an individual adheres to a bel

Nice trick. I always opted out of the scanners, dozens of times, and just got used to bantering with guys while they were patting my balls.

I agree with you about Qatari influence. You bring up Iran's history. In the 1979 revolution, Marxists were the leading exponents in Iran, seconded by the theocrats. The Ayatollah talked a good game about reconciliation from France, un

This is ridiculous. If you are capable of editing the libraries when necessary, and you don't ask someone else to do it for you, then yes. If you can't do it yourself and need to ask someone to do it for you, then no. Asking for s

Eh? I was talking about Galileo's trial for heresy.

Perhaps we have a different definition of doing something yourself .

If he paid the same amount of money to an offshore worker to build it, would you say he'd done it himself?

On the whole, not trusting one's own tools is a regression, not an advancement. The cognitive load it imposes on even the most capable and careful person can lead to all sorts of downstream effects.

That's quite funny, and almost astonishing, because I'm not an architect, and that scenario just came out of my head randomly as I wrote it. It seemed like something an architect friend of mine who passed away recently, and was a

There's another category error compounding this issue: People think that because past revolutions in technology eventually led to higher living standards after periods of disruption, this one will too. I think this one is the exception

I see your point, but I'd say religion's main technological purpose is as a storage system for the encoding of other technologies (and social patterns) into rituals, the reasons for which don't need to be understood; to the p

by noduerme 9mo ago
If religion is a technology, it's inarguably one that prevented the development of a lot of other technologies for long periods of time. Whether that was a good thing is open to interpretation.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Without years of learning by doing, experience in the saddle as you put it, who would be equipped to judge or edit the output of AI? And as knowledge workers with hands-on experience age out of the work

From 2002. It's crazy how happy I was to have 360p mpeg rips back then. I'm gonna have to re-pirate it tonight.

It's rather nice looking, but it would have been so much nicer if you'd done it yourself.

Errors are just nonsense that shows up in the console until you spend more tokens to make them go bye bye, right? I think you're talking more about the idea of true and false information, which is such a human bias. Will it really matt

I don't know about a standalone Flex player, I don't think such a thing existed. Maybe you mean standalone Flash player. I didn't use Flex components. I coded in pure AS3. I had critical business code that ran nonstop for yea

I haven't tried with webm. But they need to play full screen on desktop and also stream well on mobile. I might try Spine, I've heard some positive things. They'll still end up as textures in pixi but maybe at least they can

yeah, I really didn't want to use video. The vectors are around 64kb per cut scene. I don't want to create several Mb worth of mp4s for each one.
