- I agree science doesn’t give good answers for good and evil, for me religion gives even worse answers. For example the Bible is clearly in favor of slavery as an institution. Other religions like Buddhism are for me better.
The scary part is that there may not be a good or evil, and the answers we have are just made up stuff.
- The goal of science is to disprove our theories so we can find out if they are true, and hopefully replace them with improved versions.
The goal of religious study is to try to prove that it is not impossible, not that it is a probably reading of what happened. To find some absurd way of reconciling different stories. I have no idea how you can call that an answer.
- Please tell us why WW2 started and how that is related.
- But he said it was a meme coin and not an investment opportunity? I mean I think Trump should be impeached yesterday, but maybe not for that one?
- Isn’t that including tax breaks? Yes after checking the cheapest is $42k the advertised price includes 7500 tax break and 5000 in gas savings.
- Being helpful to 2/3 might be enough to lay off 1/3
- I don't think most people would agree on what is an A, B or C.
- At least for me that was not true, I came back to Google after more than two years and did not have to interview.
- Race is clearly cultural in todays society because we can make it so. Very unlikely to be genetically culturally if that is what you are saying (but of course, who knows).
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe is almost 4000 years older. Not sure if it meets your definition of city, but it was some sort of human settlement
- I work for a FAANG and a month, well planned, vacation is totally OK. If I want to take a week of I more or less need no notice, but for a month it would be expected I plan ahead what the people I work with should do.
I have 5 weeks vacation and unlimited sick days every year.
- I think Apple does not specify to give themselves flexibility to change. It’s not sure everyone will get the same panel.
- This is kind of natural for a new service, one of the advantages the big players have is a giant test corpus. For less mainstream languages and terms it will be more noticeable.
- Parliament can for sure overrule the will of the people, and very often do.
They might get punished in the next election or they may not.
More precisely only the PM can call an election I believe.
- China threatened to cut off water. UK did not have any meaningful way of keeping HK without strong US support.
- Which is why we are seeing return to office right now.
- That’s also what CA does
- I think there have already been cases of human crossover this year
- Isn't QI fully something the supreme court made up and unlikely to go away whatever congress does?
I think there is a huge distinction to what it’s good for the average person in society vs what is good for the rulers, and it is unclear which one of those you mean.
Most religions are here to support the rulers.
