    Reading the article it wasn't clear to me why exactly they couldn't sell elsewhere cheaper. That seems to be an important detail. Is there some fine print stating if you're 'caught…

    Not to detract from your sarcasm but the conservation of energy only holds true in flat spacetime. So I guess you don't 'believe' in curved spacetime? That makes you a flat spaceti…

    Docker takes advantage of various linux sandboxing features. On a linux bare metal host it's just a combination of namespaces and resource constraints (cgroups) whereas on other pl…

    I just watched an interesting Veritasium on this aspect of aging: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QRt7LjqJ45k

    I had never heard this before. Do you have a source? It seems to me the more informed in virology people are the more they seem to think the 'leak' is the most likely scenario.

    I've had a fairly long-term side project working on git for chronological data (data is a cause and effect DAG), know of anybody doing that?

    Worst? You mean _highest_? These people will be caring for your kids in their nursing home.

    Abraham buys land in Genesis: "For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as property for a burying place." Gen 23:9. Private property contract law is nothing new. M…

    I have to say, hermeneutics is something our western culture has become catastrophically bad at. When the failure of postmodernism became apparent (truths unfortunately must be sha…

    My perspective as a conservative: 1. These companies have every right to legally censor those they disagree with. 2. By exercising that right they put themselves at risk of being r…

    I'm not the OP but I know several voters who seem to match the OP's sentiment: 1. Abortion is simply the legally sanctioned killing of helpless human beings. I know _many_ single i…

    By that same logic why wait for any studies on the vaccine at all? Why not just start administering it as soon as it's developed (en masse)? The rigor is to give the public confide…

    The existence of God does not preclude the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. Even the Bible itself references intelligent non-human beings in Genesis. Read the Space …

    Not sure why this is being downvoted. I think your logic is sound. Typically vaccinations don't work this way though. AFAIK contagion is proportional to viral load which is inverse…

    Unfortunately the biggest questions surrounding public policy inevitably fall into realms science can't answer for us. How far do we go to resuscitate these victims of tragedy? How…

    Yes I grew up around there. Intercourse is close to Paradise.

    I think the frustrating thing about this article is that every single observation has obvious exceptions. The thesis "mammals are unique" could just as easily be antithesized by th…

    My parents were manipulated into having prenatal disability tests because of my mom's low amniotic fluid during my sister's pregnancy. Tests came back positive and the doctors reco…

    I will make a shameless plug for marriage. While it is obviously not foolproof, and can go bad just as swiftly as no marriage at all, it is still a good signal of commitment in a p…

    > "I will get you to think about a directed graph or as operations on a directed graph". No human thinks about that! Maybe they should try? Just because I can describe with words w…

    I don't practice law but it seems obvious to me how one would make rulings about marriage laws before and during Obergefell v. Hodges. One of the central tenants of originalism is …
