So now we're calling a 10-year-old movie "old"? Well, slap my @$$ and call me "The Ancient"... https://youtu.be/-KSXxJoYU3c

On the one hand, I'm all for other people having stupid ideas that interfere with their own lives. Since I know that these ideas are substantially false*, and I'm not inclined towards giving other people's opinions "re

Ha! Dark, comparatively, I like it. Of course, this is also wrong. Just as "X lives matter"* is wrong. I doubt there's any pithy slogan that quite captures the reality of "what matters"**. Best I can do, personally,

Hmm, that seems more apt for "recursion". For redundant, how about - Redundant, a. : Redundant I.e., just "instantiate", don't do a "jmp" and all that kind of stuff, right? :)

Wow - I know this is not a fresh comment (6 days old, now), but, too many points to pass up writing something. I'll start, for some semblance of "full disclosure", by writing that I was never a fan of Twitter, and I quite dis

You're hitting on some extremely key insights IMO. Insights grounded in abstract fundamental principles useful all the way from the "hardest" of sciences (physics and even maths, arguably, as a formal science) to the much &qu

The issues of "psychology" (/ "sociology") are ubiquitous with human beings (and many other animals, arguably). Partly borne of "heuristics" and other hacks / optimizations that make for a species qui

A fair point - I'm not sure disingenuous, and, I have a sense of what the parent commenter means in informal language about "covers all viewpoints", but, really, doing so in any stricter sense is almost certainly impossible,

Yup, that's about what I get (from very simplistic 750 artcle / (8 yr * (52 wk/yr * 5 wrkdy/wk)), in my case). Interesting and, given the types of articles he has written (that I'm familiar with), seems impressive!

Heh, yes - that seems ... an unwise way of phrasing it. Particularly in a deposition during a lawsuit (simply with respect to the human dynamic all-around, not even the issues of law). Interestingly, citation of "God" seems someth

Ha - I know where you're coming from, but, like every opinionated SOB on this site, can't help but throw in my own opinion*: 1) The parent comment seems completely neutral and non-judgmental. Seems quite just "I had this expe

I think you're making some good points - Zip2 and X, whatever the ultimate "quality" of the tech / UI*, realizing the opportunities, pushing to ship quickly, etc., that was all key. Musk was a clear driver. With SpaceX a

I'm not sure there is a universally agreed value even now. It comes down to "decay", half-life, etc. (and, potentially, how far out into space you look). Basically, depends on how you define "natural". You get numbe

This was still a bit on my mind, so came back to amend / improve on prior comment (though, seems not much interest in it, still wanted to better fill it out): There are two "classic" issues in these sorts of cases, in terms o

I.e. "base-rate neglect" or "fallacy", etc. The concept, and examples, of "base rate" are pretty intuitive, IMO. And yet, somehow, considering how INCREDIBLY CRUCIAL even the most basic understanding of "b

Nonsense like "silver platter", almost certainly embellished (unless a "Barnum" or "Wonka" or some shiite was running the bank). The fundamentals, totally believable. It's incredibly easy (still) to do cer

You misspelled "person", with overall phrasing suggesting "FUD" (i.e., propaganda / rhetorical techniques). Science, in terms of the scientific method, is about the only thing we can trust. In fact, for those who re

Cable television (and, to some extent "television" in general) has the stink of a dying industry all over it. Of course, "cable TV" during my lifetime has often been a type of business run, in many areas, as a sort of
