He's like the worse kind of person to stick on your campaign. The fact he's fleeced his followers on the Privilege Grant shows the kind of person he is (as in he's a con artist). The other people in the case are better picks

Yet my comment was about blaming victims. So can you admit you're an intellectually dishonest hack that should bow out now and get a job as a CNN contrarian talking head? I heard there's been some vacancies made.

Biology isn't a simple 1-to-1 match. Nor is it merely an n-to-m mach either. Biology is really, really messy. Whether it's secondary and primary sexual traits or the color of your eyes it's mostly a statistically driven resul

My comment was in reply to another comment which wasn't directly related to the letter that Damore wrote. I think you really need to read the comment I'm replying to before asserting anything else because I think you're confu

That's the thing. You can't arbitrarily say that the line stops at one thing in terms of saying people are to blame for their misfortune when the same can be said for anyone that becomes a victim in any other circumstance. Either

The certainty comes from accepting that people are inherently ignorant and naturally stubborn in their ignorance. Humans, much like matter, don't like to change when left alone.

I think this whole claiming that being a victim as a self-fulfilling prophecy is flawed. It's hard to say a trans woman who's been murdered or raped had it coming. Or to say that an effeminate gay man is responsible for the action

Another aspect of this is the fact many of those devices release a significant amount of radio frequency interference. Although mostly amateur radio operators and shortwave radio listeners are mostly affected that RFI does affect other elec

Again that wouldn't have worked. As someone who's been down the rabbit hole of ultra conservatism of the 1990s I speak from my own experience but I believe it's one that gets into the basic structure of all extremist views. 1

Honest question, do you really think that their opinions weren't already extreme in light of the fact that the science on the differences between the sexes (and the races, tangentially) aren't significant enough to define hiring p

"...that the answer to erroneous speech is not less speech but more speech..." This is where I think you're completely wrong. I don't talk to someone who sees me as subhuman or irrational because I'm transgender sin

I wonder how long until Pai adds extra regulatory requirements for utility cooperatives that will spring up to kick the telcos out of the rural areas? I'm not joking about that notion since the telcos really hate cooperatives that sp

The same liberal democracy affords us the moral and legal right to not listen as well. There's no legal or moral argument to oblige others to listen or to make them captives to your words (heck, read SCOTUS on the matter, they side wit

Ethics and common sense states no one is owed a hearing or respect from strangers beyond the bare minimum to be left alone. Rodgers had no excuse for murdering anyone for any reason. To attempt to rationalize his actions is to assume people

I'm utterly confused by why folks think any business should subsidize the speech of employees. If we all believe in capitalism as the basis of our economy then all businesses have a right to protect themselves from their employees when

I'll never understand the fascination with firms repeatedly going for the open office plan. I remember seeing pictures from the early 20th century where such offices existed full of people typing away. I don't know how they handle

So you're referring to the Cantillon(sp?) effect? Just asking for clarification.

I'm not sure how I feel about this since I have my own beliefs which make me a big outsider in terms of politics (being a Mutualist anarchist isn't fun when you try to explain it to coworkers). But my view is that it's best t

Well, for me, it's not that my loneliness is self-inflicted but a byproduct of having gender dysphoria and not much courage to actually transition or even socialize with other folks who are trans. Ultimately, my life is a pretty shallo

For me, the idea of a wearable computer just seems like a waste. And I think much of that comes from the fact that I've done most of work analytical work with pencil/pen and paper. So for me technology is the thing I use to do wor

I think you have to pick who you follow better to get at the good content on Twitter. Whether it's Weird Twitter or just following a bunch of artists (SFW or even NSFW) there's plenty of content out there on Twitter. I think the p

I'm not sure why people continue to persist in the idea that AI will magically leap to human and super-human levels of intellect when we have a hard time engineering them to see patterns that it seems the average person can recognize w

I'm going to say it's unlikely since Zuckerberg and the rest of the Silicon Valley crowd is seen unfavorably especially after Google's flirtation with Obama's administration. At least that's been my observation with

I think half the problem with Firefox is that it has a marketing problem. Most folks today just trust Google and so Chrome is a product that has trustworthiness that will stand out for folks especially on the matter of speed/reliabilit

I don't think my comment implies we ditch digital search indexes. I just think Google as a replacement for properly curated search indexes is the problem here. For general web site searches Google is great but if you're looking fo

I think the problem I have with modern election search is that often presented with what I don't want and I have to craft my query to get a decent list of sources. Mind you, this was way back in 2009 at Wichita State but the experience

It's definitely worrying to me that everyone is going to SaaS on everything since it removes the basic purpose of having a PC or even a smart phone: to do the computing as close to myself as possible. Some things fit SaaS as a natural

You should read Homebrew Industrial Revolution by Kevin Carson, particularly his break down of the Industrial Revolution. Mostly the IR was driven by state actors or those who could influence them such as with the UK's Enclosure Act wh
