What paranoia are you talking about ? Weird to hear that because it's the safest city I've been to...

It is hilarious to jump that fast to a Godwin point while trying to instill the idea that the person you're adressing is the morally dubious one. Maybe you could do some research about the totalitarian mindset, and learn about yourself

Thank you: this conversation was beginning to feel surreal, between the "let's pull the plug on these frenchies!" and the "how dare a sovereign state wants to legiferate on the activities of an American company on its te

Or maybe Netflix could say "no this is a service we are providing to our users" and then the big "Hollywood exec" would be like "ok maybe we will not sit on the million dollars we get from our agreement" and th

You are missing the point, which is that if you can blindly follow the type hints of the compiler and still get a non-stupid function when you're joking around like the author is, then in real-life coding situations the type hints will

You're going full circle here. He's not the one advocating for "modern evidence-based research and training", so it's not in his standards. And I'm not blaming him. Not everything is measurable, or at least mea

Do you not mind that your point isn't reflected in the paper you linked?

Yes, and it is well known that Tesla's self-driving program reproduces Elon Musk's reckless driving habits... /s I'm just intervening to point out that what you're saying is not what the paper you linked implies. It

It is an interesting metric, thank you for pointing it out. Until now I kept in mind the amount of miles between accidents, but surely both should be considered. However, I think this metric could be irrelevant in the case of a home/wo

I'm returning your argument. Imagine your are driving your car on the highway, but you suddenly have a heart attack and become unable to remain conscious. Do you: (a) Die? (b) Die? Manned vehicles are not coming anytime soon. They are

This does not deserve a sensationalist depiction. Everyone in space industry, astronomy and even the public now thanks to this terrible movie Gravity knows about the Kessler effect. Some thoughts: - Putting 12000 big freezers (900 pounds at

What the fuck ? You might as well call Musk a murderer. What a crippling bias you have there.

The original proposal, which is not by Caplan, tries to optimize time spent reading, which is crucial as a researcher. > And why would anyone need criteria for that? What kind of person would need to justify to themselves or others that

They took advantage of the lithium-ion battery newly improved performances in their first Roadster as early as 2008. Before that, they spent their first years researching how to arrange clusters of batteries in a viable way, which is probab

Can you start your own product and compete against these ? Also, technically, Twitter has 336 million active users per month [1], Snapchat has 200 million daily active users so we can easily double that amount for monthly usage [2], while

I had read [1] to [4] (maybe [5]-[6] too, but I don't remember) when they were posted, and I did think at the time that BlaBlaCar was a bad thing. But these are only blog rants, and I shortly changed my mind after that. I perfectly rem

I disagree with the thought that the Vienna circle had anything to do with the course of math and science. They were mostly philosophers, with fewer scientists if you look closely, and their contribution was to philosophy, not science. Also

I don't know, but probably. Sometimes you had your information for shady reasons, and it would be almost impossible to recreate it. It is a bit what's happened with Facebook if you agree that the public lacked a sense of data-priv

BlaBlaCar is about carpooling, it is not a Uber ripoff, but you'd know that if you had travelled once to Europe. It is about different values - solidarity, ecology, social relationships - than just underpaying the guy-next-door to do a

I think you are wrong about this. Contrary to a normal conversation, specific vocabulary used on the internet can be instantly looked up. This allows for diving more into the topics if they interest you.

Since when do you need to pay just to download a PDF ? Just remember there's peer to peer, and that the web is not a big black box where you can only deal with giant companies and their websites - there's freedom in it too. Also:
