that’s truly sickening. the u.s. is not even pretending to be a democracy anymore.

here we go again. these corporations take no responsibility for any of their actions, are not held to even a modicum of responsibility, and do not care about anything other than money. they’re allowing objectively false ads to run rampant o

if you think about it, we have reached a time in which we are all benefiting from china having a cool head about them and patience. it's really highlighting the power vaccuum that's happening.

i'm not for sure what you're addressing. the astronauts described the falcon 9 as much more rough than the space shuttle.

use that same site that you linked to and view countries like south korea. ask yourself, why are these graphs so different? the answer is that america gave up from the beginning. that much is clear from the graphs. other countries, like sou

you are intentionally diminishing the issues at hand. the police, yes "the police", have increasingly been militarized, abuse their power, and seen a general lack of repercussions when they do something wrong, even heinous crime

if that's the case, then why is that bad and the fact that the most wealthy, corporations, and our politicians get away with their excuses from looting people? their looting is stealing data, not paying their share of taxes, abusing po

the first wave never ended. we did almost nothing to actually stop it and have instead just rode it. now, it's going to keep going or even pickup speed. imagine if a terrorist attack killed over 100,000 people in just a couple of month

roads certainly do need to be replaced, i.e., repaved. in my three weeks of travel in china, i never once encountered a single road worse than the roads i encounter everyday in a major metropolitan city in the u.s. and i pay heavy taxes.

you're missing the argument i made. i didn't say category theory isn't useful or powerful. i said it isn't replacing set theory in practice. you can make it through the lion's share of a ph.d. in math without using
