  1. Thanks. Also, you usually don't take pictures, but videos, and use the best details out of the frames :

    I agree with some of your points, I just would like to mention jRuby on Rails : https://github.com/jruby/jruby...
    You can cherry pick what you want and what you consider good from the Java/Ruby/Ruby on Rails worlds.
    It's very interesting to see how it's written, it's pretty stable, fast, and you can get very useful web-services out of tried and true jar files in no time.

    "Probably". I don't think it means what you think it means.

    No ID was required to vote, except in Northern Ireland. It's easier to get a high turn-out if you can vote for anybody who's dead, ill or gone fishing.

  16. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I wasn't trying to say that Apple is any better. Just that tracking for ad purposes should be even more obvious on Android.

    Anyone using Android and expecting to not be tracked by advertisers is a dumbass.

    Why is "Is there a god?" a bad question?
    The most probable answer is "no", because god isn't needed to explain anything in the universe.
    "When did god create the universe?" or "Which of the 5000 gods worshipped by humanity is the real one?" are bad questions though, and should be answered with Mu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu).

  21. Re: Omar Saddiqui Mateen? on World Reacts To The Worst Mass Shooting In U.S. History (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Many atheists treat the non-existence of god(s) like a fact just like the religious treat the existence as fact, that their belief is the only right belief and all other beliefs are wrong. Sure, atheists have no religious practices but they can be just as insistent on spreading their belief, shutting down alternate beliefs and intolerant of those who believe differently than themselves.

    To be fair, atheists have science on their side : it's trivially easy to prove that many bible/torah/kuran "facts" are utter bullshit, while no god is needed to explain anything happening in our universe. Occam's razor, baby!
