You inserted your little smear against president Trump there. Well played sir. It guaranteed your post the ever elusive â+5 Insightful.â Maybe Iâ(TM)m of some dying minority or old or something but I remember when the raiting system was meant to prevent this kind of offtopic ranting, not to encourage it.
There used to be free tampoons at ladies bathroom at Facebook offices. That changed a couple of years ago. Now there are tampoons also at mens bathroom. Think about it. Tampoons at mens bathroom.
Really think about it. People at Facebook have abandoned all sense of reason and reasonability. Expect more of these demonstrations of group think and virtue signaling.
What! I came to see how nerd are glamouring over such a huge pile of pure AWESOMENESS but I just find bunch of whiners about arms race and burecracy and shit.
It's called SPACE FORCE and it sounds funking awesome. Like Death Star or something.
Yes, all that poop on the streets, used syringes everywhere, crazy bums assaulting people at the BART station and living in the elevators, we'll deal with those later, we need to address the critical issues first.
Maybe, just maybe, if all Twitter and Uber employees et al. are forced to leave the offices to eat, they would notice the homeless people squatting the nearby BART stations. And maybe, just maybe, they would consider doing something about it. They are quite rich and powerful people.
I think in the coming decades, the current "Russian puppet" hysteria will be studied as a case of media induced mass delusion.
The sad thing is that believe in such cospiratorial theories is, in fact, something that Russians would like to see in West: They don't care so much who is in power but would like to see West consumed by internal discord such as a wide-spread belive that POTUS is not legimate. At best, it will render the office impotent. At worst, it will lead to civil war.
Next time someone whines about a cold Tesla, versus reliable IC vehicles, let them see that video
So let me get this straight? In you opinion, the fact that you can start a diesel engine that have been abandoned years ago in the middle of a winter with a help a lighter and couple of pieces of wood is argument against the reliability of diecel engine?
You don't have a clue what reliability means. That is a fucking definition of reliability if you are stuck in a freezing Russian hell. Your silly EV is not going to start and you most definetely can't put a fire under it to fix that.
First of all, nobody is going to Mars for a lot longer than most people think. Costs too much now. Costs will drop slowly, And second, once people get there, most exploration will surely be done by robotic rovers -- probably controlled from orbit. AFAICS, there won't be any colonies until some terraforming is done. At the very least, getting rid of the toxic perchlorates that are said to be prsent in the soil. And hopefully some Oxygenation of the virtually nonexistent atmosphere. There may be a (very) few research stations on the surface and those will likely be militaristic. Think Antarctica -- which, BTW, is what the Martian climate will be like except that Antarctica is warmer and you can breath Antarctic air if you are careful about frostbite.
OP here. Good points. Thanks. I'm thinking that there might be people who really want to go. Maybe they are some sort of religious communities or just people tied together by really wanting to go. What I'm currently trying to figure out is that what sort of values, societal structures, etc. will result the best change for the survival of the community.
OP here. Thank you for your feedback. I've been doing extensive literary review and I continue to do so. I'm also having discussions with people with "relevant PhDs." What makes you think that this is the only way I try to gather ideas, information and understanding?
Anyhow, it would be great if every reader took the effort and fills the survey: https://togowhowants.net/
Please also consider filling the long version. It would be really heplful! Thanks!:)
I thought "do no evil" was supposed to be aspirational statement. It seems that Google is taking it as an assertion as in "We here at Google are not capable of doing evil." Such hubris will, of course, mean turning a blind eye to all the evil Google is doing.
Anyhow, mental note to self: Be very, very wary of anyone or anything that claims that their utmost principle is not doing evil.
"We hope to give all people a voice and create a platform for all ideas."
This is a blatant lie. Facebook is making concentrated effort to silence ideas that they consider aboninations. The usual suspects are to be expected. That is to say, you only need to see what ideas liberals are opposing for virtue signaling purposes. Like idea that there are two sexes or the idea that transsexuality, or gender dysphoria in medical terms, is a form of mental illness.
If Trudeau sees fit to comment things in US (not part of jurisdiction of Canadian goverment), he should also be able to comment things closer to home. Maybe he should even pay more attention to things in Canada.
And, as a side note, those thing are closely related to Canadaâ(TM)s goverment because they are related to C16.
it implies that difficulties to conform to the lunacy of this new authorian left is some sort of mental illness.
Who is calling high functioning autism a mental illness? It's a mental condition, but not an illness.
Right. The most reflective method of virtue signaling of the new authorian left is done with correctly chosen words. A "mental condition" you say? That is a new one I haven't heard before. I think the correct term was (in the beginning of the year, at least) "mental disorder." Your interest in policing language gives you immedeately away as a follower of authoritarian left.
(If they would, they would ask them for an opinion and figure out quite quickly that they don't want to be the battle ground of the next proxy culture war. On the contrary, they want to be left alone.)
You're just putting words into trans-people's mouth as you are accusing "the modern intelligentzia" of doing. Some trans-people do want to be left alone. But quite a lot more want to have equal rights. Kind of telling to call fighting for equal rights a "culture war".
Be careful. That's not what I'm claiming. I'm claiming that the modern intellegenzia are repeating fashionable drivel. They don't even bother to put words in the mouths of their selected "opressed group." They just repeat the drivel that comes in fasion waves. The current one, I guess, is about pronouns while a year ago it was about bathrooms.
And, BTW, I didn't make the claim about the transpeople without a reference. Dr. Jordan B. Peterson has received a large number of letters from trans people. He stated that typical message in the letters is clear: They don't like to be put on the spot light and would like to be left alone.
So, please, stick with policing language about race or something if you really need to signal your virtue but, for the love of God, leave transpeople alone. They have enought problems with their mental illness without you and your ilk adding to it.
I don't he's right in this regard. His original analysis of intellectual monoculture was better. I say this because also normal people are also having similar problems. I think the line of reasoning proposed by Mr. Damore here is dangerous as it implies that difficulties to conform to the lunacy of this new authorian left is some sort of mental illness. We've seen that before and it wasn't pretty.
Knowing what angers the modern intelligenzia requires constant following of their social media environment. I believe that is, in part, the purpose of the whole thing. For example, they don't make noice about trans-people because they are worried about their well being. (If they would, they would ask them for an opinion and figure out quite quickly that they don't want to be the battle ground of the next proxy culture war. On the contrary, they want to be left alone.) The whole point is to signal ideolgical group identity and demand conformity.
The two are not equivalent. Damore chose to write that memo. Kaepernick is obliged to take certain actions during the national anthem, which he declined to do.
If your employer decided to have a mandatory prayer every morning, would you be okay with that?
Also, we can criticise the firing on Kaepernick but welcome the firing of Damore, because they were fired for different reasons. We judge one reason to be bad, one reason to be good.
Kaepernick was not fired. He ran out of his contract and was thereafter unable to find a new employer. Baltimore Ravens were in a contract discussions with him but the relationship went sour when Kaepernick's girlfriend Nessa Diab sent a tweet comparing Ravens' owner Steve Bisciotti to a slave owner.
The tweet happened but it might be that Kaepernick's fate was already sealed. He's currently sueing NLF owners that they colluded not to hire him. The collusion claim is handled by arbitration institute set up in the Collective Bargaining Agreement between NFL and NFL Player Association.
I noticed that you are a) trying to guess which party the gunman voted for and b) discussing the merits or either better or worse availability of guns as a solutions.
As per gunman's voting record, I would suggest to you that it is irrelevant: Your political side won't score any points nor get any additional votes, even if it turns out that the gunman voted for the other party.
As per the availability of gun: It is not viable solution. It has been studies and the gun laws do not correlate in any manner with the number of deaths in these types of events. So there, gun laws are not a working solution. Hence, I would recommend that you look in to something that might work: Having better availability of mental health services.
Finally, I have a sad observation to make. You are not interested in discussing the merits (or the lack there of) of mental health approach because it does not involve political divide. You have forsaken your country. Petty political point scoring reigns supreme.
Is the usage of obscure units some kind of inside joke that I'm unaware of. Here are all the units used in the summary:
* Over 17,000 feet below the ocean's surface [should be in meters] * Over 4,000 miles (6,600 kilometers) long [Thank you for having a proper unit. But WTF is with the precision. Weight is given at least with three significant numbers.] * weighing nearly 10.25 million pounds (4.65 million kilograms) [Million kilograms. Really? How about tons?] * 160 terabits of data per second / more than 16 million times faster than the average home internet connection / streaming 71 million high-definition videos * 1.5 times the diameter of a garden hose [Does this even deserve a comment?]
You also saw a LOT of news about Trump supporters attacking, beating, vandalizing or intimidating people of various ethnicities or ideologies.
Your memory is not serving you correctly. To prove this to yourself you could try to come up with a list of incidents. When you start googling around, you will notice that most incidents are, in fact, against Trump supporters. The real question is, why memories such as yours are so prevalent.

It seems that disussion is finshed. As the original author of the post, I would like to thank everyone participating in the disgussion.

I also need to research more about perchlorates.
OP here. Interesting point.
Could we not simulate gravity by rotating stuctures? I guess those would easier to maintain zero gravity.

OP here. First, thank you for everyone participating in the discussion. I'm personally thrilled!
Second, a friendly reminder. I would be awesome if you could also fill out the survey: https://togowhowants.net/
It would be really helpful as psychometrical research is typically plagued by too small datasets. Thank you. :)

Anyhow, mental note to self: Be very, very wary of anyone or anything that claims that their utmost principle is not doing evil.
I would put this another way: When facts meet core values, core values win.
This formulation indicated a way out: You need to have ruthless honesty as your second to none core value. It's the only way.
Yeah, no. You wrong. Largest foreign PR operation in US is Israel. Funny thing, it is so successful that US is basically paying it.
This Russian thing. It is basically DNC PR operation.
