The notation OP is using is relative to the key of your song. So if your key is C major, the V chord is G. However, if your key is F major, the V chord is Bb. So it's not that there's only a few chords used in popular music, it's that there's a very consonant group of chords for any key your choose.

Also, OP is leaving out lots of ways to modulate these basic chords into more complex ones (adding a seventh step, inversions, power chords, etc.).

Finally, as with a lot of pseudo-Pareto type things, often the few exceptions are what make or break a piece musically.

Unless you can demonstrate how to separate what you classify as "absurd extremes" from your cultural context, I think it's fair to use any examples of stable, religiously upheld, prosperous cultures to criticize traditionalism for the sake of traditionalism.

I much prefer Stephen Colbert's Northwestern commencement speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6tiaooiIo0

And a transcript: https://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2011/06/colb...

> But if we should serve others, and together serve some common goal or idea - for any one you, what is that idea? And who are those people?

> In my experience, you will truly serve only what you love, because, as the prophet says, service is love made visible.

> If you love friends, you will serve your friends.

> If you love community, you will serve your community.

> If you love money, you will serve your money.

> And if you love only yourself, you will serve only yourself. And you will have only yourself. So no more winning. Instead, try to love others and serve others, and hopefully find those who love and serve you in return.

By that definition of original sin, subconscious bias is just a specific kind of ancient injury. So subconscious bias isn't analogous to original sin, it is a form of original sin.

So either subconscious bias is religious and dogmatic like original sin, or subconscious bias is hopeful and not religious like original sin.

You'd need to make a strong argument to convince me that situation would actually be much better than the one we have currently. At least with the current price-gouging laws, we're able to semi-select for the people who are willing to spend the most time pursuing goods, which has a much better correlation with actual need than who's willing to spend the most money.

Furthermore, I'm not entirely convinced that removing price gouging laws would really prevent these sort of events. Capitalism has a tendency to optimize for the short term, and to select for firms that are perfectly optimized for the current environment, however unrepresentative that may be. Sure, counterculture firms exist, but there's rarely enough of them to make a big dent, and the markets often remain irrational longer than they can remain solvent.

Your math is off by a factor of 10. Giving 330 million people $12k/yr is only $4 trillion/yr.

I'm having trouble understanding your example. What value is the 93.75% confidence interval for? Is it for the population mean? If so, why does the sample order influence the result?

How are abortion or "transgenderism" examples of "mass-eugenics"?

It looks like this fails on initialisms. For example, it counts this as three sentences:

>The agency responsible for it, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, would build the highest and largest dams in the world on rivers few believed could be controlled.

>Your idea of heavenly C++ sounds like my idea of hell.

I'm concerned this may be the definitive C++ experience...

And has caught flak from the intelligence community for making that determination prematurely: https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2020/10/intelligence-expe...

He is also hamfistedly talking up Iranian election interference solely to downplay Russian election interference: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-security/u-s...

Car radars aren't sensitive enough to pick up pedestrians anyway. They're useful for detecting metal vehicles, and pretty nothing else. If you mean lidar, dummies are not transparent to those wavelengths.

The higher your max bandwidth, the quicker it collapses under signal deterioration.

What tortured definition of 'socialist' includes a privately owned and operated market economy?

Of course gallium is very expensive (a few thousand $ per kilogram).

Aluminum is much less susceptible to most acids than steel. Usually it calls for hydrofluoric acid, which is very nasty stuff.

That's not true at all. The following is a declarative program:

    Yield an interpretation of a set of boolean variables that satisfies the following conditions:
      - A AND B
      - (NOT C) or A or B
      - A AND (NOT C)
      ...etc

I will not buy this python, eet is scratched.

Do you want to come back to Python 3, bouncy bouncy?

The RFC admits that and then says:

>2.4.2 Transcending Environmental Considerations

>However, we might get lucky. So, Y10K dates are able to represent any possible time without any limits to their range either in the past or future.

Ahhh yes, the compulsive need of the reasoning mind to neatly categories all theories

Even casting 0x12345678 to int* is undefined behavior

COVID-19 is a disease. The virus is SARS-CoV-2. You're not even right at being pedantic. Illnesses don't need to be treatable or curable to be called diseases.

It's challenging because the optimal strategy for converting an individual is not necessarily what's best for society as a whole.

Risking Godwin's law, imagine the extreme case of Hitler. The best strategy to convert Hitler may well be Jewish people befriending him, rather than confronting him. But in the meantime, Hitler is radicalizing others and committing genocide. At some point, it makes more sense to just assassinate Hitler (or deplatform him, or depose him, etc.) rather than trying to save him.

I'd also like to point out that much of the initial coverage included quotes from people selling "drone defense" services. It seems reasonable that these companies were incentivized to do whatever they could to stir up public fear.

The idea is that it isn't limited to breadth first searches. It provides a way to write algorithms such that they are automatically differential in nature.

BTW, Sam Reich also acted in a bunch of CollegeHumor videos (e.g. https://youtu.be/N0ps6HuThMs). Of any executives to have control of the company, Sam seems the most likely to preserve CollegeHumor's style.

But the headline doesn't claim "evidence of absence". It merely claims "no evidence".

And they certainly don't only represent people their mothers like/agree with.

There's plenty of ways to do most things in Python. That's one of its strengths as much as anything, despite what the Zen says.

Also, I hate how discussions like this seem to always turn towards small syntactic differences rather than actual differences in functionality.

There's little evidence that raw milk has higher "nutritional quality". Taste you can make an argument for, and raw milk is definitely required for yogurt & cheese if you don't want to introduce your own cultures.

I'd also note that "pasteurization" can mean different things in different countries. In Europe it's usually more extreme than in the U.S., as the milk is heated ~60 °C higher for a shorter period.
