Yeah, the discovery institute is just another creation science cover front. No science, just 'truth'. They try hard to look legit. And a fascinating fact is they are in Seattle of all places. It's a 'the earth is 9000 ye

so what should they do? explain how they should think about inviting your kid to events that they might worry would be too much? It's an awkward conversation for them to have too. What is the consideration? is this different for every

Since the patlive service and all those 'answering services' that you get are basically faciliating a scam, I'm sure a serious prosecutor could get a court order telling them to pass the information on that they had about the

I hate your business helping middlemen scalpers. Middlemen scalpers are just barely different than phone scammers. It may not be technically illegal, but it's a detriment to society.

When (probably not an if at this point) there are meat substitutes that are palatable to carnivores, will vegetarians accept them, meaning eat them? It's an interesting question, but I expect there will always be people that like the c

helm was $300 for a time - $100 a year service fee after. I see they are now showing out of stock. And they started to add other services, including hosting some services on it with nextcloud.

Ever read Larry Niven's "Ringworld"? Don't forget that the Puppeteers destroyed the Ringworld's technological civilization by creating a substance that destroyed their superconductors. If we ever invent them it will

Right, but I'm trying to get at 56% isn't great cause random is 50, and there's no clarify on correlation of the measure that gets to 56.

by Jesus_Jones 7y ago
Yeah, but if randomness gets you 50, 56 doesn't feel that useful.

But a coin flip on a large number of people would trend toward 50% predictions over time.

The only way that Taiwan will be in China in the near future will be if there is a conquering war from China invading Taiwan, or a long period of attrition where China wears down the west and succeeds in putting sycophantic leaders in charg

Taiwan is not in China. The democratic government in Taiwan does not consider itself to be under the sway of the more powerful, richer country that they lost a civil war to.

A lot of people in the US are uncomfortable and many people are alarmed when a political candidate says god wants them to win, Christian or not.

Software engineers are unlike almost any other advanced technical field, as in there is so much demand and so much change in the field that degrees aren't as important. After a few years of experience, that's what matters more. Bu

i don't get what you are talking about. please explain what the problem is with the victorian idea of progress (with or without scare quotes. And what do you mean by that, including evolution. besides christianity taking over religious

sounds like an income tax - not legal in this state. but sure, taxing the rich corps makes sense.

by Jesus_Jones 8y ago
The state supreme court in the 1930s heard a court case on a then newly enacted income tax and said it was unconstitutional. So it's still presumed to be the same. Seattle has created a kind of test income tax separately that they are

Those are impressive sounding achievements. I haven't heard of all of those, can you provide references or details about the stories?

But we've already have many companies claiming they would build nationwide networks and it never happened. They are broken, etc. Only tesla has build a worldwide network that works well, and has stood up to the test of time.

This looks like a serious issue that the faa should investigate. Since they look at so many problems and frequently issue repair orders, recalls, etc by certain dates, why would they treat this particular issue so differently?

I also thought the article's trustworthiness based on how it was written and presented was difficult to ascertain. I had never heard of that publication.

Can you expand on that? Did she make irrational comments, accuse people of impossible acts, was she threatening? I looked at the 1.5 minute video someone copied out and she was upset but not frothing at the mouth.

okay, maybe i don't get that. Is that what the point that was in the supposed shooter's screen grab with 300k views and 10c of payment was about? I had forgotten about the problems around terrorist or violent racist videos and ads
