It is not religion that is the root of all evil but religious authority. If you are religious but don't give a dime about what the religious leaders claim, then you will never be led down this path. In general, humans are wired to find auth

I have followed these lines of thought before. They contain a fatal mistake. Anonymous is not a group that can have a reputation. At best, it's a subculture. Anyone can call themselves anonymous. Whoever didn't lie in all the previous incid

The safe spot works for me. The safe spot exploits the fact that ghosts are not allowed to turn upwards in the corridor immediately below the safe spot [1]. That behavior was accurately emulated in this version. Make sure the red ghost pass

Thanks to this article, I can finally put into words what bothers me about "Copyright infringement is theft"! Yes copyright infringement share some of the properties of theft, but they are sufficiently different that we shouldn't apply our

Believing in God - not because you think it is true - but because you are lonely and believing allows you to meet people is selling your soul to the devil. When you get to a point where the question of whether somebody starts believing in G

Does this happen at non-IT parties where a lot of men gather to get drunk and to try and socialize? I admit I'm not much of a party person, but from what I have seen, the answer is yes. I do not believe this has got anything to do with IT n

This is false. There are so called 'natural monopolies' where one large firm really is more efficient than multiple smaller ones. A popular example is google search. Of course, if that monopoly starts engaging in serious rent seeking behavi

If they think this is necessary, then at the very least the legislative branch of government should sign this into law - just doing it is not how a democratic government is supposed to work.

I do not feel the kick in the gut when somebody imitates my work. I suspect the feeling is in large part due to how you are socialized. This is pure speculation - but it is probably important to our social status that we are recognized for

I do not know enough to disagree with you on your main point, but I do have a few nits. You really don't need a study from Harvard to get data on this. If you don't get it because of a lack of business experience, go talk to your local hig

For anybody reading this and having visions of teleporting to spaceships, this is not that kind of teleportation. Imagine two indistinguishable envelopes. Put a red piece of paper in one of them and a green piece of paper in the other. Sh

In the book "Thinking fast and slow" by Daniel Kahneman, it is claimed that there is a growing body of evidence that we really have two brain systems. A fast one, which uses heuristics to quickly approximate the answer, and a slow one, capa

I have no idea whether to be for against government regulation in health care because it's a complicated issue and I am nowhere near an expert. But I would like to ask you if you think the same logic applies to food. Can the food industry e

I have experience with colemak, not with dvorak, but: Don't do it for speed. I type exactly as fast in colemak as in qwerty, even after years of using colemak. (110 WPM). The limitation feels to me to be in my brain, not in the keyboard lay

What do you mean with "really" and what do you mean with "mutual" ? In the article, the situation is described where the man in the relationship desires the woman and the woman desires another man. If you're asking "is it always like this?"

This problem was enough hard for me that I want to post my solution. (a+1)/(b+1) = (a * (1 + 1/a))/(b * (1 + 1/a)) Which in turn, is the same as (a/b) * ((1+1/a)/(1+1/b)) This can only be greater than a/b if (1+1/a) / (1+1/b) > 1. A fra
