    I'm not saying the enemies of Trump rely entirely on name calling ... but they kind of argue like they are.

    I had a professor at Oxford (I'm from the US I was studying abroad) back in 2003. He told me I deserved a B- for the course but because he understood how grade inflation worked in the US he was giving me an A. He was telling the truth on all levels.

    Sadly that sounds likely, although I'm having trouble imagining how they attempted to apply that much pressure in browbeating.

  9. Hear! Hear! Leftwing echo chambers like this are VASTLY superior to rightwing echo chambers!

  10. 2 years ago it was skeuomorphic now it is material design. 2 years from now it will be something else.

    The packaging changes a little and the older front end devs get force retired.

    How is this an improvement for anyone? It's just seems like a hamster wheel.

  11. "Why are any of the cryobanks going to allow him access to their ... um ... residents?"

    I think people get admitted to these things with the primary understanding that one day this can happen.

    If the cryobanks say "no" to this, it upends their mainline business.

    It's not like the wikileaks stuff is the only indication of her mistakes. It's out in the open and not really disputed.

    You should check out the recent rolling stone review (i.e. not a conservative "rag" or whatever) where her aides and supporters could not answer the question of why Hillary should be running.

    Not casting doubt on the peculiarity of the DNC deaths right after the leaks, it's just that your point is out in the open.

  13. I have the raw energy to make the move into a language where businesses allowed old people but I'm making too much doing C#.

    This reminds me of the way ever year or so someone in Europe says, "Hey! We should all speak the same language." Since they don't want to give any language an unfair advantage they make up something completely different. Most people are too occupied doing worthwhile things with their lives to drop everything and learn a language that was never alive and eventually it gets abandoned with a small group of people having wasted a ton of effort on nothing.

    Going down the path of "I'd rather be a hedonist than fake my way through life" ... Nietchze seems more interesting to me than Proust, although ultimately it sounds like they went down the same path. Part of it was that Nietchze wasn't gay and he was able to summon and address classical milestones. Also I like how categorical Nietchze is in his tone while despising philosophy. If you're just looking at their profile (which is basically on the surface), Kierkegaard and Proust are comparable, but I expect that to change over time.

    When I lived on Maui I used to take Kierkegaard to the beach and my Mom would object.

  24. transparency of the mind on First Evidence For Higher State of Consciousness Found (neurosciencenews.com) · · Score: 1

    From a transparency of the mind perspective: this is like saying the garbage in the dumpster outside some businesses are at a different level than the garbage outside other businesses. While true, it is garbage.

    The truth about life is anything you do not choose for yourself really has no meaning. Consciousness cannot tell you who you are. Identity is something someone has to push out into the external world. You can't consume it passively like vitamins.

    Consciousness is like a mindless frankenstein monster. It just stumbles around moaning until it gets directed into a created meaning. Sartre, Kierkegaard, and Nietchze understood this.
