Both of your comments in this thread confuse me. “Don’t use these tools which greatly increase your privacy and security because of some minor potential flaw.” To me it sounds like you don’t want to get in to the lifeboat because you might

“I found a flaw in a LEED certified building, I ignored any other possible beneficial knock on effects of that flaw or other enhancements. Therefore LEED has no beneficial effect, either here or anywhere else.”

I think you and the other poster are saying different things. You are saying it’s fortunate that a spring tide was coming and you are right. I think grand parent is saying that sailors are well aware of tides and as soon as the ship got stu

I agree. I first learned that Christian Atheist was possible in an Anglican Church in England.

In my opinion it explains both perfectly well: The human mind is not perfect and sometimes it gets confused, believing that the supernatural is real and that there is life after death even though time and again these phenomena turn out to h

I think part of the problem is that there is no clear tradition of “cultural Christian” like there is for “atheist Jew”. I don’t believe in God. I love the high church and choral traditions. I attend a church where the minister feels the sa

Yes, I usually answer the “there are too many people” allegation with “you first”.

I know someone who works in the arts and for them the patriarchy or racism (or some kind of oppression) is the cause of every problem because that’s the current culture of the arts. But if it’s the answer to every question, it isn’t the ans

To add a different perspective, if the GP follows this advice, they won't have the funds to do the project. As a parent I feel caught between these two competing goals all the time: Should I not work and spend time with my kids doing n

I understand and appreciate your sentiment. But don’t beat yourself up about it too much. My experience is that my children aren’t interested in doing these sorts of projects and short of me threatening them (which would defeat the purpose)

Your last sentence really clarifies much of the thinking I’ve been doing over the last few years. When people say they want free speech what they usually mean is that they want consequence-free speech. edit: I am not talking about the stric

I hear what you're saying. I'm not super fond of anyone "turning themselves in to a brand", but maybe that's just because I've never been able to do it. But I would like to imagine there's room in this wor

I'd like an appliance much like some hotel rooms have where to turn the lights on you must slip your room key card in to the receptacle at the front door. I want to enter my house, pull my phone out of of my pocket and slip it into the

I've never tried Heroku, but I have tried EB on a number of occasions and never had anything but grief with it. Often takes me days to get something deployed. And the next time I do it, it's like it's all brand new. It never

What’s frustrating as well is that if they would have stuck to knitting, they probably would have done more to advance their various moral causes than explicitly calling things out. The community of knitting builds trust and friendship whic

There was a study done that asked people on the left and right to try to imagine what the views and feeling of the other side were. People on the right were able to do a reasonable job of identifying the positions of the left. People on the

My two children wrecked my sleep for 5 years. You sort of get used to it. Only now, 10 years later am I starting to get my sleep back to a reasonable, non-panicked amount. So, "how to fix it" in my opinion is to just outlive it. E

When I read these sorts of stories I always feel so torn between fascination at the ingenuity required to figure out these things (remember that one about predicting where the battleships were in Wind Waker? Amazing!) and that the things t

I agree with you that the ends of the spectrum have been mis-identified. I sort-of agree with you that the spectrum should be "learn why v. just want to use it". I'm would never consider myself a software developer, but I wri

I don't think they failed at all. They also realized that this "stupid" conversation was very profitable, and the more they pushed it to other people, the more money they made. If there is a failing, it is that Facebook is st
