The process to remove religions from public institutions started 50-70 years ago. It's a process, and its going to take a long time, as there is 400 years of history to deal with. Saying that the whole process is BS because there was s

I understand how it can be perceived this way. However, did you look at Quebec history? You will find that Quebec was very religious until 50-70 years ago. Education was provided by members of catholic institutions. At that point in time, t

About religon: you are correct, it's not racism, it's a different approach to multi-culturalism. The problem is, the ROC is intolerant and only consider that one valid approach to multi-culturalism exists: their own. Anything else

It may be a little evil... but your comment reminded me of this online quiz that makes you try to classify pictures in two categories, prof or hobo... It turns out I'm not really good at it. https://www.proforhobo.com/

I did not detect any bashing in the video, except toward the whole Euro. On the contrary, I found he was trying very hard not to point fingers at anybody. Also, he asked many times the audience to challenge future panelists (ex. Steve Banno

Assuming you are talking about software design: - Make it work, then make it simple, then make it fast. In that order. - Don't do at runtime what you can do at compile time. - You are not going to need it. - Encapsulate your dependenci

A given prediction can be wrong, an experiment may be biaised, my point is that you choose to ignore that the vast majority of the experiments and measurements point in the same direction. >>Researchers tend to stop looking for bugs i

So you test the system with human drivers for a few miles, and if none of them dies then it's secure ? You actually rely on the subjectivity of uninformed users to assess the reliabilty of a safety-critical system ? >> Not really
