You have a much different experience on general social media sites than I do. When I open a twitter thread that isn't sandboxed to nerds geeking out with other nerds about cool stuff, half the stuff I see is flamebait or just nasty a

They're investigating a company not an individual. The article really gives no information about which individuals might be liable.

In that article, they claim that the American drone was already using inertial navigation. > American aeronautical engineers dispute this, pointing out that as is the case with the MQ-1 Predator, the MQ-9 Reaper, and the Tomahawk, "

What does it mean 'preparing them for their lives as citizens'? School is for learning reading, writing, and arithmetic. Learning how to be part of society is something everyone learns in the theater of life, not from school tea

If additional education, in general, made teachers significantly more effective, it should be fairly easy to measure that outcome. But, it seems many people have tried, and continue to try, but have failed to reach much of a consensus [1].

Right, I meant necessary from the companies perspective. The author was certainly bringing to question the necessity of the industry from the broader perspective, his reference to Gil Scott Heron's song couldn't have made that cl

The wording of that sentence threw me off, he wrote 'necessarily' but my mind heard unnecessarily as well. I think the gist of the article is more to bring attention to the technicians who carry out the dangerous work than to ass

You rarely hear the average person questioning consensus beliefs from experts in the 'hard' science / engineering fields (with notable exceptions, eg. climate science/evolution, but there are obvious incentives involved)

Same, the professor used Emacs in only programming class I took in college. Seeing what he could do with Emacs left as much of an impression on me as the rest of the material, and I've never considered another editor seriously since.

You're treating it as if their life story is a zero-sum game, where it was worth 3050$ and he only gave them 50$. I've always given away my life story for free and don't feel gypped whatsoever.

It's fine by me, but it was better 10 years ago when people didn't talk politics all the time. Or maybe I just got older.

Id be fine with any system that leaves me alone and requires zero attention from the layperson. Also, one that people don't bitch about all the time. A benevolent king/queen/emperor kinda sounds good, like Marcus Aurelius of

Because we are a union of states. States should have more power, not less. Each state has very different problems, and local politicians care far more about local people than DC politicians. It's more interesting anyway, the more fre

I dont think the 'system' is designed to be unfair, but instead our two political parties have corrupted the voting process through gerrymandering. Then again, it's not as bad as some people seem to imply it is - https:&#x2

Assume those studies are correct (I don't believe that conclusion, personally). It displays a certain lack of empathy to interact with people using assumptions about their presumed sociological groups. This may be the very definition

I have serious doubts how well someone is paid has anything to do with their ability to feel empathy. I do think making broad, negative generalizations is a sign of lack of empathy however.
