You can teach yourself basic cooking (from zero) in less than 10 hours. Maybe even less than 5 hours. It's insanely easy. Teaching common sense and making the right decisions? Superbly difficult, probably impossible - at least at scale

It only makes sense for this epidemic to take place in the society we've developed. We are tearing apart the fabric and the bond that kept everyone feeling as a part of community; namely, religion. Religion was never designed for peop

In theory, agreed, but just about everyone I know spend their money in a way that multiplies their "wage slavery".

"The poor lacks much, the greedy everything." [Publilius Syrus] Being content and being able to say that you have enough is probably one of the best thing you can do for your mental health. And happiness.

I'd love to see high-stakes heads-up bot vs Tom Dwan or Negreanu. Maybe a bot technically qualifies as an opponent in durrr's challenge [0]? :) How would bluffing influence the outcome? Both these players who are considered very s

That's for a reason. Bullies will only understand violence. I personally don't know any kid who had psychopathic tendencies that grew up to be a respectable member of society. They've all degenerated into drug dealers/en

Not sure why we are talking about accuracy(?) all of a sudden, but goes without saying that I am talking about actionable convictions where the party is guilty, given based on facts and without prejudice. My main point is people who commit

OK in that case, it's semantics. You can call it whatever you want, as long as you keep certain people forever excluded from society. Preferably at low cost.

I find that unbearable and senseless, doesn't matter who does it. Certain people need to be excluded from the society and there is nothing wrong with it. Why do we insist otherwise? How did we manage to convince ourselves that is &quot

Brouwer had similar inspiration from a cup of coffee. In his case, the intuition was that if you stir coffee, there's a "part" of it that stays fixed. In math terms, f:X->X where X is compact and convex, and f is continuou

Strong agreement here. You can limit yourself by choice to certain areas of the language that you know inside out (you know the asm they produce, etc.) and use it to solve problems. Don't worry about every single corner case. As you sa

I vividly remember my first "existential crisis". Well, perhaps that's not the right term for my experience. The first time I had a feeling that once it's over, it's really game over and.. that's it. Very unset

Maybe it's unclear from my post, but I don't think T_D users did this, or even deserve this. I was merely commenting how easy is to do this to other subreddits, so any subreddit can get banned etc. So maybe Reddit should reconside

From what I gather, the reason was that there were calls to violence that weren't deleted sufficiently fast by the mods. Someone correct me if this is wrong. This seems like it would be easy to replicate this on any subreddit, doesn&#x

I don't like your reasoning. I think it's selfish. You can always help out for the duration that you are paid for, regardless of tempo. There's almost always work to be done - cleaning up code, commenting, refactoring, docume
