It's easier. For the majority of people, all you need to do is eat less. If you argument is that obese people do not have the ability to eat less, that is a much different discussion (with some implications I don't think many are

Couldn't you say the same for people who choose to be obese? Not only are they consuming more resources, but they're weakening their immune systems, thus furthering the likelihood they'll spread covid and other diseases. I&#x

Isn't a mix of fat models and services best? Say for a user model you have first name, middle, and last name. You add a property "full_name" that joins those 3. Putting that logic in a service feels confusing and unintuitive.

If you're not able to quickly answer it, I'd put it where you feel like you'd first look for it (where it feels natural) and move on - don't try to optimize too early. The correct answer is going to depend heavily on wha

That logic has to go somewhere right? I'm not sure what the issue is. There's the "heuristic" of expecting a property to not be expensive to access (which django already kind of throws out the window depending on how you

The middle class family that halted saving for a home to pay for rent is not harmed here? I would be furious. There’s certainly harm in policies that reduce trust in the system. Something like a 0% interest loan from the government seems mo

I think the fundamental issue is that you trust these institutions but many others don’t. Your statements make sense if that trust is present. I was trying to show how the actions you’re confused by are rational given a lack of trust. Wheth

You’re right! I’m sorry - I made the same mistake I’m criticizing for. I know it’s not everyone. Reading this thread is hard - even if one side is objectively right, it doesn’t matter. Compromise is the only way forward. I don’t like consid

Can you blame them? Everyone on the left has been calling them stupid and ignorant for decades. How are you supposed to trust those same people? Both sides are guilty of this. We can discuss a myriad of ways to fix our political system, but

Society converging more and more into a "global" culture. Maybe we're just in a transitional phase, or maybe trust doesn't scale. Probably both.

I don't think we know if we can know everything or not. That seems like _the_ question to answer.

Science needs to advance more so that we can determine nature vs. nurture. It's all genetic (nature) in the end - but I think being able to say "x lacks the genetic makeup to dunk a basketball" vs "x was malnourished as

Claims about covid and the election can't be (realistically) falsified by an individual either. You're just disagreeing on whether you should trust a study author / politician more than a priest.

Western nations are financing 3rd world birth rates at the expense of our own citizens well being. I imagine we should address that first before we even consider asking our own to stop reproducing.

Sounds like they should have communicated these changes to their customers. If the customer is not breaking the TOS and you cut them off with no notice because you want to change your TOS going forward that's a bad look.

I agree! That's why I watch sports too. But the same arguments you're seeing about X privilege today will come into discussion once genetic editing is more advanced. Instead of rich parents paying for SAT prep, they'll be pay

The only interesting aspect of blockchain is decentralized trust - trust being the key part. If you don't need decentralized trust you don't need blockchain. And outside of a global currency, there isn't much that needs that.
