I don't think there's a direct line. "Might makes right" will also force cooperation from those who are less fortunate. I'd argue there was almost never "fairness" in human relationships, from stronger war

I've been using this for 1 or 2 years and it makes my life so much easier... I don't understand why Firefox doesn't make this and Multi-account containers an integral part of the browser.

The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death r

That's maybe part of a more general "perceived inability of some Muslims to handle polemics against their religion with grace" (from the article). Searching for "bobblehead Jesus" vs "bobblehead Mohammed"

That seems to imply those billions of people religious are not rational, down to earth. Theism in itself is a simpler explanation for existence than atheism, and yet many rational people are atheists. Is it because they weighted all the pos

How long term do you think this strategy is for the human kind? Does it span more than one generation?

Well I have another iPhone and it's not much better, it's frequent that app install requests will get lost for hours. And there's no obvious way to go look for pending notifications, you need to wait for it to show up again.

I've been to a company event a couple years ago, for a big Scandinavian tech company, and the main speaker's point was this: The best thing you can do for the environment, better than recycling, cycling instead of driving a car, e

There are two (bad) extreme ideas: 1. Women are inferior and should never rule 2. Women are superior and can do no wrong True equality comes when we realize both men and women screw up just as much, and have just as much good potential IMO.

I personally consider "very few preinstalled apps" a big plus! Uninstalling useless apps (if they are even uninstallable) is always a drag. To each it's own I guess...

I’m also curious to know. Preview is pretty much the only tool I really miss whenever a switch from Mac to Linux for a while, and it works really well for annotating and basic editing (moving pages around)…

The problem is the definition of "discrimination". Everyone _is_ able to discriminate all the time. I'm free to discriminate between cookie flavors I buy, or discriminate between genders of people I date. What the law forbids

Most problems seem pretty simple until one actively tries to solve them. One thing that _is_ actually simple is simply criticizing. I would argue that a lot more good has been done by individuals that decided to "do something about it&

I struggled with this a while, then ended up using an old Android phone with a broken screen for this. I have it in airplane mode (WiFi is not configured), and it works well enough. All (most of) the options of a regular phone, and none of
