You're arguing against a straw man. The original poster was clear enough: negotiate the contract, if the company won't budge then don't sign. That is your leverage. There is a question about whether or not the contract is eth

What are you trying to argue? That the company shouldn't bother because the factual information might be present below Trump? Surely you understand that the company posting a fact checker is a more credible source, and that there are

Just because you're not capable of interpreting the formalism doesn't make it useless or not substantive. This readme wasn't written for you it was written for a type theorist.

There is nothing wrong with Set being a subtype of Bag, the problem is that the type system you're discussing doesn't enforce it. If a Set were merely a Bag that must statically enforce the constraint that all elements are unique

You can say that as matter of factly as you want but that doesn't change the long philosophical debates around determinism, liberalism (not the political kind), and free will.

Reading the transcript, he comes off as a shitty boss that refuses to give people independence in this group to try new things. It's his way or the highway. He hides this behind him being a "rare" kind of optimist when really

Diagnolization is a pretty deep argument about fixpoints, Godels incompleteness argument is essentially a diagnolization. So why wouldn't there be fascination?

Why in the world would you quote "experts" and clearly you know nothing about statistics if you look at 181 patients and immediately think "oh well that's just too small!" You can have significant results with as li

Why did you ask for a source while simultaneously making claims without sources? The drug is being falsely pushed by the deranged leader of the United States, I would be much more suspicious of you then of anyone claiming to be wary of it.

Have you ever considered that you just don't like change?

Calling it an illusion is not interesting. We define consciousness and subjective experience to match the very experience we understand. There is literally no way for it to be an illusion, the definition itself precludes it. No matter how c

There is another side to this where "stuff" becomes a liability. If I know I'm going to be moving frequently, having stuff is expensive, minimalism becomes a frugal option. To this point, there is a certain luxury in being ab

Be the change you want to see in the world, open source doesn't work off magic and candy.

The downside of NixOS is that developing on it is hell incarnate. And saying "you just have to learn the Nix way and use nix-shell" is not a satisfactory solution, take it from someone who has tried twice. Moreover, I gave up on N

I can't think of anything more petty or pathetic then taking the side of a mob that demands an open source developer change the name of the software he makes in his free time. People talk about entitlement in games but here you are not

You're mixing up "defined" with "defined via a decimal numeral" we can define these numbers without much difficulty via finite formula that compute them. This is a completely valid definition, it is just not a decim

This is easily falsified by imagining that the computational nature of physics itself is stronger than a Turing machine. There would be no issue with certainty in a continuum if you were actively computing with the continuum itself as data

As a grad student myself, lets just say that many graduate students and faculty are suggesting that grad students never apply to your school. I wouldn't call that very detrimental to there cause.

I have a very hard time believing this will be as good as the abstract claims for anything but what the team at Google who developed this is using it for. The claims are quite extravagant and the case studies supplied were underwhelming (th

It's so strange to me that the solution here people propose is to limit the free choice of students that want to further their education. A PhD does not have to be a professorship job training program anymore than a bachelor's sho

Since you feel so strongly about it, let me argue that you're simply wrong: Infinities have the opposite effect then you might think, they make things simpler. It's much easier to reason about an infinite list of numbers then to r

Let's assume you're telling the truth, how many would be needed? How many social media experts versus engineers? Sales is the real hidden people employer, you'll probably have as many or sales people than engineers, but the f

$30 a month is too expensive for some of these tools (and perhaps too cheap for some of the others). For instance, I run my own Nextcloud server for 10$/month, the amount of maintenance per month is 0 hours. Nextcloud has already provi

Anyone who legitimately thinks common core is worse than how math was previously taught does not understand math at all. It is at worst just different with the dream of being better. There is no conspiracy theory about wanting to sell more

Your analogy is broken. A party and a public forum are not comparable. Moreover, if a member at a party was part of a cult I would probably try to bring them out of it.
