  1. Re:HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED, KIDS !! on Mathematics As the Most Misunderstood Subject · · Score: 4, Funny

    let A=1, B=1
    A^2=B^2 because A=B, so
    A^2=AB and
    A^2-B^2=A^2-AB , next we factor
    (A+B)(A-B)=A(A-B) , divide like terms
    (A+B)=A
    substituting our variables for their values we learn that
    2=1.

    Maybe they should read the fucking letters I write them and not just reply with a cookie-cutter note cheerfully reassuring me that they they are going to do the exact opposite of what I had asked. All this does is let a bunch of otherwise disinterested people take 5 minutes out of facebook tiem to click some shit and pretend they have the cognitive ability to comprehend anything beyond their immediate environment.

    Well he was a professor on constitutional law, but I'm sure that won't convince you. You will probably need to interview all his past professors and students, analysis the University of Chicago network traffic logs that were taken while he was there, and waterboard him for 48 hours to be sure he is telling the truth only to declare that there is AN EVIL LIBERAL CONSPIRACY AFOOT!

    They don't have "date of conception" on birth certificates, nor will you find "date embryo became fetus" on birth certificates either.

    What the fuck? The government records don't decide that stuff any more than they decide when the tide can come in. The law is totally irrelevant to the discussion of person-hood and conception. It's a philosophy question, not a legal one.

    Or does that not extend to nation states, especially nation states apart from the US?

    Individuals are polite because they are rational: they know that there is only one of them, that they can die, and stockpiling weapons is just a big money sink after a while, as it is not as if they can use them to get more money. The State has a... different view of things. It views weapons as an investment, because when there is no more money, it can, being sovereign, use it to take the money of others (until it is domestically exhausted and the rest of the world is fed up with it's belligerency). Also, if it starts a fight, there is usually no shortage of ants to march into the fire. This makes the surrounding nations worry about The States increasing ambition for power, so they have to start spending, lest they be the ones who fall to The State's new weapons first, especially if they have some strategic resource. Which means... arms race, fuck yeah! What is really nice is when The State can set up a military-industrial complex to maximize the amount of weapons made before the money is exhausted.
    tl;dr: More bombs means more arrogance.

    What if that isn't the real Hans at all? I think that he was kidnapped by aliens and cloned on behalf of the US Government, so they could eliminate competition for on of their puppet's projects, Sun's ZFS (this was back before Oracle bought them, and as a result they got Sun as well). Who would know where a body, that may have never lived in the first place, was besides Government satellites?
