I think allowing both extremes makes it clearer where precisely the center is located. Look at it this way - In a balanced system you can see how far each side stretches. You're better able to understand what truly is the "extreme

But Musk didn't sue them so that's irrelevant.

I had never used an Apple product before buying my mac mini but upon opening the box I had all needed software installed and was able to be productive in under an hour.

This is a fallacious comparison. There are 3 distinct tiers of users: 1. The basic users which really only use the web browser and maybe occasionally need to edit a document. 2. The "normal" users who need to use the web, office t

Thank you!! When I first set up Linux as my daily driver I questioned if perhaps I just chose a bad distro or got unlucky in my setup. After trying 2-3 distros I saw that even as a fledgling software engineer at the time I lacked the abilit

Just an unaffiliated 3rd party observer here, but is it possible they meant revenue went down relative to corporate projections or didn't increase in line with other factors like inflation? Just a thought.

Precisely this. Empty shops have an unconscious (sometimes conscious) effect on people making them less likely to drop in themselves. 1-3 people taking up wifi and electricity could easily attract enough customers to pay for their visit wit

Are these gone? I thought they were still around.

I don't disagree that these things should be acknowledged and taught, but only in the proper setting. Constantly hammering every existing racial disparity into a child's mind is what I'm concerned about. Math isn't a pla

Do you think that the food insecurity example may not produce a feeling of pity towards minority students, and a feeling of rejection in the minority students themselves? The problem with this isn't the facts being presented, but the f

I don't think one's ability to do math is a great indicator of how effective they function in day to day life.

What are you trying to say here? That nutrition doesn't exist? It's anti-science to state that an apple has more nutritional value than a potato chip? Specifically what the parent is referencing is the density of nutrients per uni

Did you read anything or are you just going to project your own bias on the discussion? "It's banned in warfare" doesn't make it some egregious WMD. It's banned because all chem weapons are banned per the Geneva con

The difference is on one hand you have people sharing videos that make police look like they're suffocating people and hitting them with cars for the fun of it, and on the other you see that they're often in a situation where they

Are you joking? That applies in the vast majority of the world, the exceptions you named are just that, exceptions that are exceptionally rare. This entire discussion started as whether pedestrians should/shouldn't be on roads.

by MathCodeLove 4y ago
Sure I agree, that is reasonable. Many people try to make the argument that all/most police are bad and out of control, which is what I refute.

by MathCodeLove 4y ago
But why should shared roads be preferred over sidewalks? I see quite a few potential disadvantages but no real advantages whatsoever.

15mph is still faster than walking speed. I'm not saying cars are the most optimally efficient mode of transportation, just that they are much more efficient that walking.

No one else provided examples nor asked for any. Perhaps you should ask for examples instead of assuming I'm acting out of malice. Here's a link to the full video for probably the most widely recognized case in the history of poli

Yes but this conversation was about jaywalking and what roads are intended for. No one (I think) is arguing that a bike crossing the rode to go from one bike lane to another is wrong, but that it isn't the intended purpose of roads. Pe

I mean you're making an argument that does nothing to facilitate discussion on the issue. It's basically saying "No it hasn't changed. And if you have evidence or data showing otherwise, it can't be trusted." A

That's fair, I just pulled that number from thin air to try and portray my point. The actual crime stats in the US is 47.7 per 100,000. Unless there's hard evidence to the contrary, it can be assumed that those number also apply r

That is not a valid citation, it immediately starts off by illustrating it's own political prejudice. The fact that they don't link directly to their sources is also questionable. They say they use Source: https://www.p

Alright sure, I guess so. Neither of us have any hard data to back up our opinion so I guess it turns into a debate of feelings, which will lead neither of us anywhere. What I do know is that as of May 2021 there were 665,380 police officer

Well, no I must admit I never have experienced that. Not really sure I understand how it pertains to my question you responded to.

I think it's extremely clear that I'm not trying to portray that exact number as a fact and more as a general portrayment of "most police officers are good, just as most people are good"

2. No, sidewalks and bike lanes are for pedestrians and bicyclists. Bike lanes are less common than sidewalks so I think it's reasonable to include them on low-speed/highly congested stretches of road, but to assume they should ha
