Same could be said about Windows vs Linux back in the day, but as another person already pointed out it doesn't make sense when the owner is one of the ones you are trying to protect yourself against. Also, as it turned out, Windows wa

I only have 5 kids, and I am also not nearly as productive as Gauss but to a certain degree, it feels to me like responsibility kind of tries to force me to be more effective.

Joking here since it would be impractical, but I guess you can bury it under my house. I'd not be bothered at all to live on top of a modern nuclear waste deposit like Finlands. Waste from modern nuclear power plants seems to be a gian

No, but it wouldn't be surprising if they might be somewhat correlated? I can recognize my wife easily now, but the first few months as we dated I was always scared that I wouldn't see her because I don't know what she looks

My guess is you are affected. You remind me of myself before I realised just how big the difference really is. People who see images don’t just imagine them or "know apples are red" - they actually see them. I think a couple of co

The way I understood it was the apple on a table test: I was asked to close my eyes and think about an apple. if you do it now, close your eyes for about 10 - 20 seconds and think very hard about an apple on a table. spacer spacer spacer sp

Given the choice between massive, "complete" documentation with no examples and decent but incomplete docs with good examples, I’ll pick the second every time. Why? Because if you don’t explain how to actually use something, all t

As others have mentioned, good points. But we must stop somewhere, else we end up like the people arguing that the most democratic country in the middle east is somehow the apartheid one. It only works if one looks away from the fact that t

Stop spreading Russian lies. Donbas looked nicer after years of alleged Ukrainian bombing than any Ukrainian town looked after a week of Russian "liberation".

Good points. You will probably also like to know that the plans for a modern Israel started long before WW2 and Holocaust, and originally not because of persecution of Jews by Europeans in Europe but because of persecution of Jews by Arabs

less than 60 000 people were killed in the Blitz against London. By your logic most of what happened in 1944 and 1945 when 350 000 to 500 000 German civilians died were probably injustice. But in the real world we need to deal with the peop
