Bit starting at :43 (Germany) will easily go down as one of the greatest stand-up bits ever written and performed. And he was the perfect guy to do it.

In the context of the comment, it seems that they simply do not want political noise in their social network in any form.

In addition to this, I often find myself trying to digest concepts broadly because my mind is lackluster with the mechanical side of calculations. When a professor makes a mistake, I occasionally have to revert an already imperfect record (with or without notes) and adjust my conceptual framework.

Just an anecdote about why I personally suffer from poor teacher preparedness as a student.

We software people are generally mini-philosophers and it can be easy to lose sight of ourselves. But can you or I solve Search?

I guess what I've learned before replying is that it is often a high bar whether we recognize it as such.

To me a discussion about the homeless doesn't entail a discussion about the "working class" or vice versa.

Just a little confused here...

I'm thinking that this is to Balderdash as Cards Against Humanity is to Apples To Apples. (At least from my understanding. I haven't played Cards Against Humanity.)

Let's leave the linguistic criticisms on this one to Frege and Russell please. I can interpret the phrasing in both your terms and in the previous commenter's terms quite easily.

It reads like a rebuttal, but has no parent comment. It makes me feel like you're speaking to a comment no one made. Derail complete.

Sometimes I think people just like to debate when they have neat little debating packages lined up for them.

Maybe not idiots exactly, but I agree with the derision of short attention spans.

Did the USG not force Google to comply with their demands, and also keep quiet about it? I know that was the initial story.

Or is the issue that Google went above and beyond the USG's requests?

I generally don't have a lot of interest in time, so I don't have whatever relevant knowledge this might require (if any).

It's still asking the same thing, so I'd say yes. But you might be asking it for different reasons ("am I interested in this historically or practically" vs. "is this innovative or canon?").

At first glance, the same criticism holds for a bar that has these ("you think your patrons are rapists?" or "that place is so bad it needs those cups" spring to mind). But I feel like that's just a marketing challenge.

Instead, I think the company selling the cups could market them with focus on the avoidance of sexual assault and make their customers (bars/clubs) look like community leaders. Maybe they'll even have a cool little symbol to plaster beneath the neon signs. I have a hunch that that symbol could sway more customers than the availability of Bud Light.

Just some of my thoughts.

A problem I see is in the details, where I wouldn't want to lose X million dollars just to force a dialogue. If I were the entire decision-making branch of Amazon, I would only dedicate X million dollars to something guaranteed to produce change, like deploying numerous robots (or whatever).

I think people are turned off by the idea of some random "crazy" running things, but that's exactly what I think would provide checks and balances to a government (namely, that the "crazies" don't reach a consensus as easily as the corrupt).

And on another level, our laws would have to be understandable! What would that be like? Would I actually know why I am being arrested?

Any solar experts willing to weigh in on the author's assessment of the current state of solar?

Specifically, were a sodium ion battery commercially available (with similar efficiency to lithium ion batteries) tomorrow, would we be living in the golden age of solar energy?

This is something I'm extremely interested in as a citizen of planet Earth.
