I 90% agree with you, except that there is nothing technically correct about the word cis.

Causality (2000) made the topic accessible (to students and lecturers) as a single book.

I tried separating the sentences but an editor reverted my change.

Well, my take is not equivalent to OP, in that I actually don't agree :) I am a human-centered empiricist. I think OP's logic flows the other way: skeptical of human-centeredness position (like you) and from that skeptical of goin

That was my reply to you, not the original point. If it helps: I think the GP implied with the statement that we should subscribe to some non-empirical theories ("outside spacetime"), because the endeavour is not supposed to be hu

In that humans built LIGO to bring forth phenomena for them. There is no science without an observer. The universe might exist without us, but without an observer there is no-one to describe it.

Sounds like premature optimization with security implications. I'm hesitant to use that.

If anything, it's an issue with a magnet's naming. My understanding is that the North pole/direction got its name first.

Sunflowers and Indian mustard do bioaccumulate lead (especially with a chelating agent).

If he breaks the server, then a callback/webhook notification for the fix won't work either. If you want to use a callback for this I'd recommend still polling periodically anyway.

If this happened to a smaller company they would be dead. Edit: where can I get good Mercurial hosting? F this.

Requiring to have seen it all is a big problem if you identify as a critic, in all senses of the words. It's easy to be pulled in by irrelevant novelty that is not meaningful to viewers, or become disenchanted and find your critical

Critics are not qualified to tell me what I should watch towards developing my own character. The disconnect between what they push as best and what audiences like as good, illustrates the postmodern critic's lack of relevance. Cri

Why does language matter to you? Is it a tool to entrenching your identity and present the world as a battleground between your groups? Or does language serve you as an individual to have dialog and develop? If you choose resentment then do

You clearly have an opinion. Are you saying I should not? I don't follow. Forcing a change in language towards social agreeableness while using a lens of "there is only power" will have bad consequences.

by janto 4y ago
To understand that terms like mankind already refer to all humanity is a small part of it. Another part is that communication serves us in finding suitable mates and manipulation of language towards social goals is likely to have outcomes t

Truthful description of relevant info is most important. The constructed profile of the person I'm talking to online is uninteresting to me. You might actually be a dog for all I know. If you want me to play along so you're never

I don't see where you said "no, you don't" so it's unclear what you mean here. Did you mean that labelling something as misinformation is unwise? Because then I agree with you.

A family in conflict might not have a future if we "only talk about 'climate crisis'".

As someone living in the third world let me assure you those living in poverty have more pressing challenges for themselves and their children. They are fighting raw nature daily for survival and your attempt to redirect attention away from

Maybe they believe in the usefulness of the "repeating it three times makes it true" rhetorical device.

by janto 4y ago
What do you do with opinions that you think are wrong? Do you place them all in an "obviously nonsense" category and slap a misinformation sticker on it so others are not tempted to look at it? Because that is what happened here.

Framing the dissenting opinion as equivalent to "aliens did it" is exactly the problem. When the opinion turns out correct are you going to continue making those categorization errors? What lead to that mistake in the first place?

I no longer trust them to tell the truth. Trust is what you earn when you prioritize truthfulness above all else. They decided to spend public trust to what end?

Following to the original Reuters article The figures include sales of apps, in-app purchase and *app store ads*. I would also prefer that Google have more tolerable support for publishers (and users), but it looks like those at the

It depends on how narrowly focused Google's strategy and commitment to reliable income is. Linearly scaling up on human support agents doesn't look aligned with an AI driven strategy to enable income that is only coming from thei

Is that a lot from Google's perspective? If apps follow some power law distribution it might only be worth providing human support to a very limited number of them.
