I’m sorry but that’s a lot of words to provide no additional clarity. God is consciousness. So if there are no conscious beings in the universe there is no god? Or is this just renaming something that already has a meaning into god?

How about just having one God vs many? If there is a single omnipotent being, why do various cultures have multiple gods? And why do different cultures’ gods tell them different things?

There is a pretty reasonable way to determine if someone is "heinous" or not, committing a violent crime and being found guilty of it. And if going through a criminal justice system is "too much work", then I'm got

Which makes the continued militarization of the police forces across the country also troubling.

I've been taking a look at my own news consumption patterns and how they've changed. One thing I noticed is previously, news was going to a paper / news site and seeing what's "new". Lately I more and more find

I know this was intended to be a snarky remark but I'm going to reply anyways. Despite US politics being the way it is, the world isn't binary. Just because 2 bad people are fighting each other, it doesn't make one of them go

It seems the difference is just the degree of usefulness / value. Rather than being different terms, I think they're just different spots on the spectrum. What's the difference between someone being "useful" vs &quo

Not in the short term and not directly for the company doing it. This is more of a reason for government funding though, not less.

When dealing with anything across timezones the reality is you ARE dealing with 2 time contexts. 1) global time. i.e. UTC 2) local “sun” time. i.e. local timezone When scheduling a meeting you are trying to find an intersection of global an

The other version of this is the whole FIRE movement. Instead of living cheap, which also affords the ability to not work much, work as normal (or more than normal) for a shorter time while living cheap, so eventually you can live cheaply f

What happens if there aren't ~30 people that are going where I'm going from where I am? I don't want to wake up to go to work and find out there is no route for me.

There is a burden of proof. You can claim whatever, doesn't mean others have to believe you. I can say short people are involved in more accidents than tall people. That's as supported as your claim. I would expect people to dismi

End of the day it's an ROI analysis (using the term loosely here, more of a gut feel). What is the cost and benefits of making an app more secure vs pushing out an insecure version faster. Unfortunately in today's business and fun

So basically no evidence at all besides you think so.

The allergy is to broad claims without evidence. Point to some data that indicates more insurance money is paid out to Chinese drivers then we can have an actual discussion.

It’s a weird claim in this context especially because Asians are statistically involved in fewer major accidents.

Maybe a good reason (in parts of the world where this is practical) to have some solar + battery storage. Doesn't even need to fully replace grid power, just enough to run the barebones when the grid goes out.

Fairness of the equity split aside, it also indicates he doesn’t see you as an equal partner. Rather you are seen more as an employee that is going to be working essentially for free. So he probably also won’t value your input and contribut

Deportations have always happened of course. But details matter. What’s making this administration different are: - sloppiness and seeming cruelty of the process, intentional or not - disregard for judicial rulings - pushing boundaries with

This makes it sound like an unintended consequence, rather than the goal. “Papers please” is the desired end state.

I honestly don't understand the defenses of these actions here. Forget about the nature of data we're talking about here. If I was an engineer working at say google, and I put in mechanisms to access a bunch of data and bypass bot

Already plenty of lawsuits in place, with some already won. Question is, will there be any actual consequence. So far, it doesn't seem like it.

Was that ever true? At least over the last couple of decades those mostly seem to translate to: - Small government: cut things we don't like (e.g. social programs), and spend more on things we do like (e.g. military) - Personal freedom
