How would you describe the emerging subset of traditional liberals who are beginning to embrace authoritarian stances in the context of authoritarianism being largely incompatible with liberal ideals? Edit: This is a sincere question. If a

Without my agreeing or disagreeing, does that make the above posted ideas incorrect? If not, why are they downvoted?

It’s worth pointing out that Peterson is actually not against using a variety of gender pronouns per se. So many people get this wrong. He is against being compelled to use a variety of gender pronouns by legislation which is internally i

This is true with some caveats. "The judiciary" can overturn a decision in some cases. See [0] for a very detailed explaination. Comments to the FCC do MATTER. If half of America says that Net-Neutrality is good and then it gets r

It does not, on its own, make him wrong in this case. I don't feel like putting in the effort to figure out if this presentation of "strawman" is meta-ironic in that it is itself a strawman, but I can't tell that it isn&

IIRC Wall Street is the biggest employer of physicists. They get all the really nutty math and can apply it to models, etc. That might just be Ph. D's though.

Is this aside from the built in date utilities that org mode already has? I usually see dates tucked “under” the item so they can e.g. be viewed (and manipulated?) from something like the agenda view.

Prezto for zsh has pretty good command line completion and a lot of plugins which are either on by default or available for you to flip the switch on. It's taught me some nifty bits of git, gpg and some others. https://githu

You could try jiu-jitsu. I've yet to meet a person who could honestly say that getting choked out is "boring".

I agree with this sentiment in general, but having to read the full width of my screen instead of playing copy-paste + text selection games with page elements which _cannot_ be viewed in their entirety (or sometimes at all) is an option I w

Digital brutalism is under appreciated. How did we reach a point where a technical write up is forced into a column 6 inches wide on my 32 inch monitor? Why does practically every code snippet exceed this 6 inch width, requiring a scroll ba

My company decided to used Julia as a general purpose language for a number of projects around 2.5-1.5 years ago (I’ve been there 18 months). I firmly believe this choice had an opportunity cost somewhere in the 1-2M $ range for a sub 25 pe

Let's also not forget that road wear's relationship with weight is greater than linear, which is to say that doubling the weight will more than double the wear. Your average cyclist is going to be 10x smaller than a normal 4 door

Is it possible that metrics are a bad way to determine success relative to actually looking into and understanding the situation? The latter is certainly more work. The former is certainly a lower resolution understanding. Are we certain th

It can be dangerous to be the only person or vehicle at a red light if you are a motorcyclist or bicyclist because cars can fail to notice you until they are quite close. Many motorcyclists apply and release their brakes, and sometimes add
