Well, they are political issues, because they don't exist in a vacuum and nuance exists. For example, what do you mean by egalitarianism? Equality under the law? Well, Republicans/Liberals tend to agree with equality under the law

The increase in processing and networking needed to achieve these neutral-at-best features...why? It's either adding socket connections or polling to every client. It's also not like they can push the same update to every user, be

Seriously. This would be a tragedy, and I'm really hoping this is just a questionable motivation tactic.

You would think software engineers would understand this. It's like approving subsequent pull requests on any and all code changes because the integration tests already passed once.

The question has never been about how long it would take to adjust the vaccine. mRNA has been a platform capable of rapid alterations since the beginning. The question is regarding ensuring that the changes are safe and efficacious.

If that were the case, then why the consumer side shortages?...which are at least partly (although nowhere near the degree to which the fed and government would like us to believe) responsible for the price increases.

This is honestly not the conversation I was inviting and am not interested in having for what is probably the thousandth in my life. The bottom line is that libertarian socialism is absolutely paradoxical, socialism is necessarily authori

Hypothetical imperative. Better for who, or to what aim? For the purpose of this topic, progressivism is change, and conservatism is either no change or regression. There's no need to add morality into it.

Yes I understand what the political compass purportedly states, but the fact is that the economic axis is not devoid of authoritarianism. If the left axis is about arbitrary allocation of resources (in this case, in accordance with some ega

Yes I wouldn't get hung up too much on whether it's a left or a right thing, that's why I specifically isolated the "progressive" vs "conservative" aspect. There's also an element of "populism&qu

by ralusek 5y ago
It's a fundamental flaw in the axes, though. There is no such thing as "lib-left," because the left economic wing is fundamentally authoritarian. You cannot have arbitrary distribution of resources without authoritarianism. T

Because the left right spectrum is muddied beyond utility, it's worth teasing out what exactly this means. According to most political compasses, for example, the left right axis is supposed to represent economics, with the left being

I understand the case for Base91, but why hex over Base64? Base64 for readability and sticking to multiples of two, Base91 for maximum efficiency with readable ASCII.

If you increase the amount of USD, the USD cost of anything that isn't USD goes up. So, a lot of the market gains, housing gains, crypto gains, etc, are at least in some part to do with all of these countries increasing their money s

> A bicycle which you can use without using the pedals is, to me, not the definition of a bicycle. My point is what difference does it make? Like I said, if you want to cap weight or speed, or maybe acceleration, within given areas, fine

Right, my point is that length and time don't exist perpendicular to each other simply because there might be some utility in visualizing them that way. The complex plane seems to be generally taught as if imaginary numbers in some cap

Well yes, if we want to plot any sort of independent values, we have 3 spatial axes we are familiar with and will use them to graph accordingly. But I'm not going to argue that "housing prices therefore exist on an axes perpendicu

> Imaginary numbers exist on a dimension perpendicular to the real number line. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that imaginary numbers exist in a dimension with any sort of fixed spatial relation to real numbers. Isn
