Is that any different than the argument that was being made about infants? Would you test for it in the same way?

I shared that view I thought Obama, while supporting the right to abortion said, “we already have agreement, we both respect life, we both view abortion as a moral tragedy.” This seemed to recognize that no one should really be "pro-ab

It appears that you want to classify Mickelwait as a "bad person" equivalent to men who are trying to rape refugees because you can find something you think she may believe about religion, morality, or politics that you disagree w

While your second statement is probably true, do you actually disagree that 16 gigs of RAM on an M1 gets you much better performance than 16 gigs on an Intel Mac?

When it comes to emails and files, sort by size. You can delete 10k tiny files and make less of an impact than deleting one or two large files.

That isn't always the case. After getting up to leave several times when they said they couldn't sell it to me for my offer, they got within $40. I was prepared to pay cash for it. Then they offered 0.9% financing which I took on

I believe it is tied to their rewards program of some type or a Target credit card. But yes it does help sell more. If they are keeping track of what people by to target advertising, I'm sure they are measuring the return. An expectant

Agreed, but the comment I was responding to seemed to be surprised, concerned, or at least saw it as a negative that a Christian college was populated by Christians.

I would be happier if AT&T would personalize their mailers just enough to stop sending me ads for internet services they don't offer at my address.

I see some companies working to personalize things in ways that you don't see is personalized. Target can tell if you are pregnant by your buying habits but they found that sending people mailers with just baby stuff creeps them out. (

That's fair, but if someone chooses to go to an Islamic university, listing the fact that "everyone" there is a Muslim as a negative seems weird.

Many colleges put courses up online for free. There is a huge opportunity for people who want to put the time in to get a very high quality education (not degree, but an education) by using these resources. Same thing with the knowledge ava

The funny thing is that the name 37 signals comes from a count of the signals from space have unexplained origins. So they picked their name long before they came up with that list that just happens to fit. (With one extra by starting at 0)

I understand what you are saying, but I would argue that lack of access to teacher is less of a bottleneck than drive, desire, and motivation. A motivated individual is going to have no trouble finding what they need to learn and places to
