There were people before the civil war who defended slavery on similar grounds. Free workers may or may not be able to afford the necessities, but slaves are guaranteed everything they need. It's not necessarily an absurd line of thoug

On a brighter note, I downloaded an archive of my LinkedIn data. The data set was less than half a megabyte and contained exactly what I had expected: spreadsheets of my LinkedIn contacts and information I had added to my profile. Somehow

Just to put it in perspective, you can make ~$500 per month from having $150,000 in mutual funds if you assume that you make an average of 4% per year after inflation. VTSAX made almost 15% last year, but last year was unusual.

Sorry but I don't understand how you're using the word 'comprehension' here. I agree that logical axioms aren't associated with time (this is what I mean when I say that math doesn't require an idea of time).

The concept of assignment only makes sense in a context with a time axis. Computation has a time axis (location of the instruction pointer) but math does not.

I managed to get the same effect by going to "News Feed Preferences" and unfollowing everyone. I don't think this was possible years ago, but now it is.

Nobody's denying that the world has improved. The relevant question is "where are we relative to where we could be, given all that we have to work with?" One answer, in the opinion of many informed people, is that we (America

My grandparents also lived through the depression. And how did they cope with it? Joined a labor union, joined the socialist party. Maybe not such a bad idea?

I guess I should say that everything said in public has the potential to be political. Something that's political, in my mind, is anything that has significance for running the government or the larger social machine. "Don'

No doubt. Again: the tips are great and many people would do well to listen to them. However, the larger question of the place that these tips have in the story that we tell ourselves about society is still an open question. There are multi

Just so you're aware, calling yourself a computer scientist because you have a degree in CS is something that only college students / recent graduates do. "Software Developer" is a better word for what you do.
