The issue with the process itself is how that justification is provided. If you have data to justify something, then the process works fine. If you don't have that data and need to put in some work to obtain it, then you have to some

I'm not sure it really works in Amazons favor. Sure, some customers might be more inclined to buy the Amazon recommended choice. But I wonder how many are frustrated like me. When I buy stuff on Amazon, it's not because I want Ama

Can someone explain the part about copycats? The way I'm reading it is that the "copycats" forked the repo, and then retained the presentation while changing the content. In other words, it's like writing your own resume

In your opinion, as someone who has experience using it, can CXX make it easier to write Rust code that loads dynamically linked plugins (also written in Rust)? Sorry if the question is dumb, I started learning Rust only a month ago and one

I agree with everything you wrote except that last sentence, and that is exactly what I refer to as "dismissing the profession". Understanding their biases and agenda is by no means trivial, or even easy, but it's most likely

I'm sorry, but no, they don't. Out of all of the examples I used, only one has agreed-upon norms and standards that can be measured : racing. All the other examples I used -- chef, journalist, writer, singer -- can win awards and

You know you can be a "professional X" without X being a science, right? It simply means that X is your profession. Some examples of professions that are not sciences: racer, chef, journalist, writer, singer.

I'm not saying you shouldn't use the word. I'm saying you shouldn't ignore its very specific and specialized context. Taking things out of their context often leads to problems, just like in this case.

Let's not take the word "lie" out of its context and then get hung up on it. We're not actually lying to children by simplifying the explanation down to what they can comprehend with the tools they have at that stage.

Yeah, I remember the rules about "botting", too. I don't know if they changed a lot since I played, but back then they basically amounted to "don't automate your character to farm while idle". In light of the p
