The Iranian people loved it and he had overwhelming support in the early '50's.\n\nOne year after he took power, Iranian oil exports fell drastically: leading to increased exploitation of Saudi resources, ultimately resulting in the US-Saudi relationship existing today. Unfortunately though, the CIA personally desposed of Mossadegh to reinstall the highly unpopular Shah.\n\nIf the Elbaradei wins, and expresses interests against that of the US, then I wouldn't be surprised at a coup or possible takeover.\n\n**Afghani Style**: Simply rig the election. Karzai sure as hell didn't win in legitimate circumstances. In the end, American's didn't really care and nothing of value was lost.

{"question_title": "Okay, I think the voting system of Reddit, as it is used nowadays, has largely amplified the bandwagon effect not only found in comments, but in links as well. I fear that this may lead to the further specialisation of opinions in this community. How do you suppose we could remedy this conundrum?", "body": "When reddit was started, it was just a news aggregation site with no comment or subreddit functionality at all. Up- and downvoting simply answered the question: Do I think this article belongs on the front page, so that lots of people can view it?\n\nWhen commenting was implemented, voting was implemented there too, without a clearly defined scheme of what the votes were supposed to mean. As you say, the point about not posting \"I agree\" but upvoting directly conflicts with the notion of voting only the quality and relevance of a comment, not based upon whether you agree with it or not.\n\nI don't think that reddit currently has the capacity to change this system, but I do find it interesting to think about how to implement something similar but better thought out. \n\nI thought of the following system: You have upvote and downvote buttons for post quality and relevance, an agree button, a disagree button, and a spam/meme button.\n\nPosts are ordered according to their upvotes, but the number of users agreeing and disagreeing with them is prominently displayed. In the user preferences, one can decide to not show posts that are marked as spam/meme by enough people. \n\nThe spam/meme button is not the same as the report button, as many people enjoy cracking jokes, pun threads, creative meme uses, etc. It's just that posts like that that convey no additional information or opinion should be marked as such. All children of a post marked spam/meme are also marked. You can also mark you own post as a spam/mem post from the get-go.\n\nI have been toying with the idea of implementing a system like this, for a small-scale, experimental setup this should be possible to implement in some web-framework in a couple of weeks. It would be a fun experiment.\n\nI don't think that reddit should implement this, though. For one, they are hugely successful like this, and with their subredditing idea, people can migrate on-site instead of being forced to leave.\n\nP.S. \"Gentlefolk, these acts of rigour and the outlining of their implementation shall culminate the entirety of our exercise\" ...really? I usually don't call people pretentious, but come on.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_ffu5q", "post_id": "ffu5q", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/DepthHub/comments/ffu5q/okay_i_think_the_voting_system_of_reddit_as_it_is/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/ffu5q/okay_i_think_the_voting_system_of_reddit_as_it_is/", "post_created_utc": 1296923413, "question_selftext": "It is in my opinion that we, as old-timers in this community, have not done a great job in inculcating newcomers to the standards by which we define the democracy of this community. For example, if one would care to peruse the more populated subreddits like /r/askreddit and /r/reddit.com, one would find that a significant fraction of the content in these subreddits is composed of overwrought memes and points irrelevant to the discussion. Now, it is in my understanding that the administrators have not rigorously defined the rules of the Arrows, as evidenced by the relative fluidity of their purpose in certain contexts:\n\n>Mass-downvote someone else's posts. If it really is the content you have a problem with (as opposed to the person), by all means vote it down when you come upon it. But don't go out of your way to seek out an enemy's posts.\n\nI have come to the conclusion that the meaning of the phrase, \"If it really is the content you have a problem with...\" is ill-defined. What type of problem? Does it pertain to the relevancy of the content to the overarching theme of the mother thread? Does it pertain to the sensitivity of the reader with regards to certain issues? Does it pertain to a misuse of the English language?\n\n>Downvote opinions just because you disagree with them. The down arrow is for comments that add nothing to the discussion.\n\nAh, here is a treat for the functionally prescriptivist. It is here that it is established that *the down arrow is used to express discontent in the supposed relevance of the comment*. But to what end do we put our threshold? Where should we mark the boundary for relevancy? Does the relevance condition apply to the immediate parent? If so, then chains of comments increasingly irrelevant to the mother thread will be permitted, and one should expect that the ends would be as relevant to the mother thread as paint is to a desert wasteland. I suppose we should examine more closely the ramifications of the required relevancy condition to find the optimal ordinal value of the referential upper hierarchy comment that will allow free-flowing conversations, but restrict such to the overarching theme of the thread.\n\n>Make comments that lack content. Phrases such as \"This.\", \"lol\", \"upboat\", or \"MAN THIS IS SO COOL!!!\" are not witty or original, and do not add anything noteworthy to the discussion. Just click the arrow -- or write something of substance.\n\n>Announce your votes to the world. You can give constructive criticism on a comment, but avoid starting a flame war. Try, \"This comment just seems to be attacking the submitter,\" instead of, \"Go back to Digg.\" Comments like \"dumb link\" or \"lol, upvoted!\" are not terribly informative. Just click the arrows.\n\n>Vote! The up and down arrows are your tools to make reddit what you want it to be. If you think something is good, upvote it...\n\nHere, we have multiple instances suggesting that the upvote (assuming that it is indeed what was referred to) should be relegated to a case of personal preference, even going so far as to *explicitly* suggest that if one \"think[s] something is good, upvote it\". I for one think that this is a sloppy way of doing things, and it would only serve to reinforce the ultimate bad that I and a few others like me have been trying to fight off: that is, the narrowing and polarisation of opinions. So I propose that we try to identify the most neutral and objective way to define \"goodness\" of a comment. \n\nGentlefolk, these acts of rigour and the outlining of their implementation shall culminate the entirety of our exercise.

So yes, the original poster is correct: 10,000 armed Egyptians in Tahrir Square would have done more harm than good.\n\nBut that doesn't mean there isn't a role for guns!!!\n\nSee, a dictator like Murabak has a problem: not enough psychopaths to go around. He needs total psychos to do the \"secret police\" crap - the midnight arrests, torture sessions, body dumping, etc. So the usual pattern is, he'll pile up those sorts in a small number of organizations, sometimes as little as one org. This model was adopted by Nazi Germany: you had the SS doing the really horrible shit as opposed to the regular German military and even most German cops who usually despised what the SS were up to.\n\nThe pattern was actually perfected by the Tsars in Russia prior to the commies taking over.\n\nSo what does this mean?\n\nWell when you're out doing the mass demonstrations, you don't want guns around so long as things haven't gone all the way to a civil war.\n\nWhere you DO want guns is at the small organizing meetings for the protests \"behind the scenes\" where you have to fear raids by the real psycho-organization(s). THOSE bastards (local equivalent to the SS/etc.) need shooting!\n\nThe US civil rights movement was no different. Esp. early on when Dr. King wasn't a major figure that couldn't be taken out without a major backlash, his home and various meeting places were armed camps ready to fend off midnight KKK raids. Out on the streets waving signs or doing sit-ins or whatever, no, that's the time for unarmed resistance patterned along Ghandi's system.\n\nThe other time guns come in handy is when leaders or organizers are quietly on the move. The \"Mississippi Burning\" murders happened in 1964 when a single carload of voter registration workers were ambushed and killed with the cooperation of local cops. After that, a lot of those voter registration workers went armed and some Klan died too out in the back roads where the gruntwork of civil rights reform was happening.\n\nNow...I'm uniquely qualified to discuss this. I'm a former lobbyist (2003-2005) for a smaller \"NRA similar\" org, yet I've also been arrested and spent 18 hours in the San Diego County jail for an unarmed protest against illegal voting system secrecy by that county - an unarmed protest taken straight out of Dr. King's playbook. But if somebody from Diebold or the like ever wanted to take me out, well they COULD, sure, but not quietly. Not at ALL quietly - I can make damned sure of that. Full-house 357Mag is anything but quiet.\n\nUpshot: Non-violent protest is strongly preferred over an all-out civil war by anyone sane, but at the same time organizers of protests can and have been subject to criminal assassination - and have an absolute personal civil right to self defense under such circumstances. And it works because regimes don't have a hell of a lot of real psychos to threaten you with.\n\nJim March - Member of the Board of Directors, BlackBoxVoting.org (I'm one of Bev Harris' \"lieutenants\") and separately, 2nd Vice Chair, Pima County Libertarian Party", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_fookl", "post_id": "fookl", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/fof5c/warning_graphic_bahrain_royal_family_orders_army/c1hg32u", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/fookl/discussion_about_2nd_amendment_and_the_recent/", "post_created_utc": 1298152638, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c1hmamw", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c1hmamw", "answer_score": 1, "answer_created_utc": 1298255838}}

{"question_title": "In r/collapse mantra explains why the current drive to find viable alternative energy sources is too little, too late", "body": "His post seemed like boilerplate right-wing pooh-poohing of solar to me.  To be clear ahead of time solar is not currently a panacea, but it is useful and we are drastically under-utilizing it at the moment, and there really is no excuse for that except lacking the will to do something.\n\nAlso I hate Kurzweil, so I'm not defending him so much as pointing out the well known, obvious responses to mantra's boilerplate arguments.\n\n1) \"Only works in the afternoon.\" Not true most of the year in most places in the world.  Obviously some places during some times of the year it's better than others, but in/near most populated areas you can generate power throughout the year.  Now building a solar array outside of NYC that would take care of all its power needs all year round is a bit far fetched at the moment, but it's certainly not far fetched to talk about putting medium sized towns especially in UT, NV, NM, AZ and southern CA on mostly solar as a start.  Additionally, wind and solar work together so that during parts of year where there's fewer daylight hours (fall, winter, early spring) it's usually much more windy.\n\n2) Regarding storage.  No there's no 1:1 input:output storage solution but since when is this a requirement?  We use storage already to differing degrees with a number of different power generation methods.  Hydro in particular, but also wind and existing solar.  The idea that we require some kind of miraculous breakthrough in storage to allow solar to work is just absurd.\n\n3) What?  20 year delay?  Solar's been around a lot longer than 20 years.  I don't even know WTF he's talking about here.  As I already addressed 1 & 2 are not the show-stoppers he makes them out to be.\n\n4) I do think it's a good idea to invest in and pursue all available means of production.  But in my mind that means deploying solar a lot more than we are already.  The more we deploy it, the more we are investing in production and research.

In addition to some discussion over the topic outlined by the OP, there was also some debate over whether or not the post itself belonged on DepthHub at all, since it attempts to stage a discussion here rather than link us to a discussion elsewhere on reddit.\n\nMy initial instinct was to let up and down votes decide the issue, but after the link was reported for possible deletion, I decided to review DepthHub policy, specifically the short-hand explanation I posted [here](http://redd.it/fl5sd) several weeks ago.\n\nIn keeping with the principles outlined there, I've decided that those kinds of self.posts really don't belong in DepthHub. The reason, again, is that we want to support the reddits that encourage in-depth discussions, and one way we can do that is by directing this kind of discussion back out to them.\n\nFor that reason, I did a little experimentation, and determined that links to the *redd.it* and *reddit.com* domains are included under the option to allow only links as submissions. As soon as this message has been posted, I'll be turning off the ability to make self.posts to DepthHub. I may turn it back on from time to time to allow the mods (which, at the moment, means only myself) to make announcements about DepthHub itself, but otherwise **self.posts will no longer be allowed on /r/DepthHub.**\n\nI should specify here that the prior confusion was entirely my fault. I should have been more clear on this before. For that reason, I'm leaving snaggletoothgrin's thread as it stands, and everyone who wants to take part in that discussion is welcome to do so. In the future, if you're unsure where to post prompts for discussion, please choose one of our affiliated reddits from the sidebar, several of which specialize in self.post-based discussion and debate, e.g. [TheAgora](http://www.reddit.com/r/theagora) and [DebateIt](http://www.reddit.com/r/DebateIt).\n\nI realize the decision to turn off self.posts is potentially controversial, so feel free to use the comments section of this post to bring up any objections you might have.

This might be because I've always been biased against falsififiability, but I felt like drunkentune's rant very much violated the principle of charity. He sniped little bits here and there and didn't even try to pretend she was rational or had a good argument. If you're butting heads with a harvard philosopher, then it ought to be an imperative to give a sympathetic reading instead of laying into it like just some other redditor. \n\nThe part about drunkentune's argument that grated the most against me was whenever he got angry about her describing how science is actually done. Because, of course, she is absolutely right. Go and find a single journal article written in the a way a falsificationist should write. Nobody says \"we tried to falsify X and succeeded/failed\" because that is a really stupid way to do science (that's an opinion, not meant to be taken as an argument). \n\nSure, go ahead and say \"so much the worse for science\", but so many people use falsification to describe how science is done, that it's important to clarify that this is not really the case. Popper's statement \"*the criterion of the scientific status of a theory is its falsifiability*\" is a conflation of is and ought. And it seems like drunkentune actually agrees with this, seeing his \"*then bring it up with the idiots that think the criterion is supposed to end debate, rather than provide a helping hand to scientists*\" line. \n\nBy the way, I think a lot of the criticism of falsificationism is directed at the \"idiots that think the criterion is supposed to end debate.\" Like all those obnoxious twats who run around saying \"string theory isn't science!\" and invoking falsificationism.

It is possible to compose an outwardly smooth and elegant political speech, a headstrong article, a social program, or a philosophical system on the basis of both a mistake and a lie. What is hidden, what distorted, will not immediately become obvious.\n\n>Then a contradictory speech, article, program, a differently constructed philosophy rallies in opposition - and all just as elegant and smooth, and once again it works. Which is why such things are both trusted and mistrusted.\n\n>In vain to reiterate what does not reach the heart.\n\n>But a work of art bears within itself its own verification: conceptions which are devised or stretched do not stand being portrayed in images, they all come crashing down, appear sickly and pale, convince no one. But those works of art which have scooped up the truth and presented it to us as a living force - they take hold of us, compel us, and nobody ever, not even in ages to come, will appear to refute them.\n\nMy **tl;dr** version of this is: The purpose of art is to present *a* truth in a manner which demands response and recognition.\n\nBy this criterion, any valid endeavour by any creative person, including mathematicians, can be correctly identified as art. Limiting art to the subjective media does a great disservice to its definition, because it implies that creativity is limited to those who deal only in emotion and truth to those who deal only in objectivity. \n\nThere are at least two kinds of truth:\n\n* Objective truth: the world, universe, etc. as it is, quantifiable through observation and repeatable data.\n* Subjective truth: an individual's experience of objective truth as s/he observes it & is effected by it.\n\nNeither is invalid, and both are valid foundations for \"art\", at least to my mind.\n\n**edit** fixed a typo", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_g80gh", "post_id": "g80gh", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/g7uex/an_excellent_response_to_why_is_being_bad_at_math/c1lkbrh", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/g80gh/discussions_on_rmath_as_to_whether_math_is_an_art/", "post_created_utc": 1300686874, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c1lmfc7", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c1lmfc7", "answer_score": 12, "answer_created_utc": 1300701837}}

It could just be that it was poorly worded.\n\n>Yes, that above is a picture of Donnie Darko kissing Frank the Rabbit, and it exists because someone out there truly enjoys the sentiment of the idea. Someone out there was moved by the characters, and so took it upon themselves to create from nothing, a way to express their desires and ultimately themselves. It is this form of expression that will ultimately reach across the spans of the internet to touch the soul of someone, somewhere who needs it the most... Either way, this art form will for one brief moment allow them a shared connection and reminder that they are not alone.\n\nI think this is the main point here. If I understand correctly, RR34 is trying to paint the production and consumption of sexualized depictions of fictional characters as a social act, trying to show there to be a quasi-spiritual connection between the producer and consumer. Unfortunately, based on my experience with such images and knowledge of the communities built around them, the opposite is true. Rule34 and [mai-waifu-ism](http://s13.zetaboards.com/Hikari_no_Tsuki_Ni/topic/6652111/1/) are displacements of the sexual urge and the desire to love and be loved into areas that are free from the risk of rejection, growing apart, or any of the other perils of real human relationships. Rather than bringing two geographically distant people together, rather than allowing you to \"touch the soul of someone\" as RR34 put it, they are the Nestle formula that allows us isolated orphans to stumble onward without ever knowing real breasts. Rule 34 and pornography in general are not celebrations of human sexuality.

{"question_title": "On the flaws in voting systems", "body": "We had a great discussion in one of my courses yesterday on whether the American two-party system is inherently more un-democratic than a coalition form of government. The argument was made that a two-party system simply defers power from half of the populace (that wins) into the hands of the republican elite that actually run the government. Though they are subject to the general will of their constituents, the fact that they have a swath of the spectrum under their representation gives them authority in making legislative/executive decisions.   \r\n  \r\nCompare this two-party system to a more \"democratic\" parliamentary, first-past-the-post, coalition system. More people are specifically designated, but that does not directly translate into legislative agenda. In India for example, there are hundreds of specific parties but only a few powerhouse national parties that represent a relatively small minority; similar to the discussion in OP link, Canadian elections give weight to the party that comes together not the overwhelming majority of citizens.   \r\n  \r\nWe weren't really capable of coming to a conclusive answer, but I have never had anyone actually *defend* a two-party system to me. If any of you redditors can support it to me I'd love to hear it! But I think I'm realising that a two-party system is a way of engaging more citizens in a de-jure facade of democracy.

{"question_title": "r/London discusses the level of racism in the UK (London esp)", "body": "One thing that can be said for classist discrimination compared to racism is that there's a certain fluidity. A white guy walking through a US ghetto couldn't look non-white to avoid hassle, but a posh kid could be relatively safe in a dodgy area just by dressing and walking correctly. No one could distinguish him until he opened his mouth, and even so most people are capable of raising or lowering their voice by a notch or two (and usually do it instinctively in different situations). \n\nMy first thought was that this explains most of the differences - for example why there's no culture of anti-learning in the UK, because the distance between the privileged and the underprivileged is a series of small class jumps rather than an insurmountable biological hurdle. However I found [this fascinating little paper](http://cep.lse.ac.uk/about/news/IntergenerationalMobility.pdf) [PDF] on intergenerational mobility from the LSE showing that social mobility in the UK has dropped drastically post-war and is now matching the US as the lowest among the countries studied. So it's an illusory fluidity at best.   \n(Unrelated: one of the other interesting conclusions in that study is that expanded higher education has actually increased inequality)\n\nIt's interesting to think that class was always primarily economic but racism is only recently joining it as a vehicle for economic issues driven by globalisation.

{"question_title": "Discussion of the morality of Osama bin Laden assassination on r/moderatepolitics", "body": "I believe, and as it happens this country is founded upon, the rights of an individuals in society. The documents that outlines the **rights** of a being do not bend or waiver in who they cover. In fact, one do not derive one's rights from any document. The documents only recognize that all these rights are inherent.   \nIt saddens me to see humans rejoicing at the murder of another human. Regardless of what that person has done you should never rejoice at ones death. It is beyond sad when certain humans feel it is necessary to hurts others for whatever reason. However, when people do break the social contract in which humans find themselves presently they must be taken care of according to the laws of a society.  \nIf a country claims to be one that adheres to the rule of law then it should abide by that decision. This is not a quantum thing in that it can have three states. You either are a society that abides by justice and the rule of laws or you are not. I personally like to believe that America was/is/should be such a state. As a result of this belief I think that we should have apprehended Osama and brought him to the states to stand trial for what he has done. There should be no trouble convicting him even if you could find an honestly impartial jury. We respect laws and justice and therefore we should accomplish justice through this means. I can not see how any one can argue against this. If we were able to take his body I find it hard to believe that we could not taken him alive. Furthermore, we violated the national sovereignty of another nation. This point is a little more sticky and one could argue that due to the sensitive nature of the mission it would have compromised the mission to warn them beforehand. However, we could have warned them once it was in progress, like the seal team was already in or near the compound so there would be no warning from the ISI or other in the Pakistani government. If they truly are with us in the war on terror, whatever that really means, then they would be alright with this action because it rids the area of a terrorist.  \n\n\nBomb never justify bombs. America should be beyond this kind of persuasion. We should no longer fight wars with weapons and material goods but rather with our minds. We should conquer those who oppose use with intellect. When  this can not be accomplished and they choose to, for what ever reason, not join us on our journey of exploration of the Solar System and Galaxy then we should leave them be and counter any aggressive intent with as passive as possible. This means striving never for war but always prepared to defend oneself.   \n\nAll people deserve the rights that we have enshrined in the constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. No matter what anyone does, there is no crime horrible enough to strip someone of these rights. One can debate the punishment methods, this is not the issue at hand. If one does not agree with this then they should really sit down and consider what it is they believe in.  I am rather ashamed of the reaction by the people who are commenting in subreddit called depthub.    \nWe will get no where and solve none of our problems unless we get compassion for all living things, especially those that are sentient.

{"question_title": "A discussion about Chess vs. Starcraft", "body": "I don't really want to take a side on this issue, mainly because I think Chess and Starcraft are so different and teach different skills that they really shouldn't be compared. But a few quick remarks about the highlighted comment to clarify things a little for those who don't play or know that much about Starcraft.\n\n> Whereas it is an obvious motivation to accumulate as much resources and military as possible in Starcraft, chess does not afford you with any clear cut strategy, other than the goal of the game to capture the king.\n\nSpending resources and building is called the macro game and it is more complex than it looks. Just as in real life, if you want to create a military you have to spend money to both form and maintain it. Especially in the early game, there are some decisions that you make here that will impact the entire game. One mental mistake can and will ruin you against a competent player. You have to choose spending between: improving economy now in order to have more money later, building technology buildings in order to have more advanced units and upgrades later, or building units now in order to either attack, defend, or scout. And then the question becomes what units/buildings do you build? Do you try to go for a bunch of low level units or do you try to tech up and grab a few high level units? As you can see, there is no simple clear cut strategy other than the end goal of utterly destroying your enemy. There are thousands of ways to play and new ones are being discovered every day.\n\n> Anything you do to capture the king should not be mere mechanical thinking, but rather is the synthesis of information provided by the position of the board. By thinking through the position logically, asking yourself what your opponent might do and how you can counter, there is a ton more insight required in playing through a game.\n\nStarcraft is exactly the same way. One of the single most important things in Starcraft (if not the most important thing) is the concept of 'scouting'. Scouting is sending a unit through your enemies base and/or army in order to reveal your opponents strategy or location of his units. If you do not have this information available to you and if you are not able to understand exactly what your opponent is doing through maybe a few seconds of sight, you have already lost. You have to think through all the information available to you, understand your opponent's strategy, and then form a counter to that strategy. As a super simple example, if your opponent is going to use air units and you don't have any units that can attack air, I think you can guess what might happen. \n\n> Reflexes were mentioned earlier, and I think at it's core Starcraft is a game--especially in the professional levels--of reflexes more than strategy and logic.\n\nI think that in a game like Starcraft you really can't seperate reflexes from thought. A professional player has to come up with strategies and then alter those strategies almost every second of the game. Then they have to apply those strategies through quick reactions. There are some situations where a player will win through superior control of his units but that also relies on knowing which units can counter which other units. And of course the player had to have the foresight to actually build the units ahead of time because almost every single unit has a set build time that you have to wait. Some players are better at the overarching strategies while some players are better at unit control but both are absolutely necessary for high level play.\n\n> It might be the perspective of some gamers who have never played anything more than casual chess to think of the game as just \"looking into the next couple of moves\" but there is so much more depth than that.\n\nI think you can kinda see through this longwinded post that this quote is also the case with Starcraft. If you are speaking about amateur or casual play with Starcraft, yea these arguments that I am responding to have a merit. But since we are talking about high-level chess we should also be talking about high-level Starcraft. And Starcraft is amazingly full of depth. I'd like to think that I know a good bit about the game but I hold no doubts that I would get absolutely destroyed by a master player, even if I was given every advantage. I feel the same way about chess.\n\n> And while it might be the opinion of some dreamers that Starcraft is simply too young to have this following, it is purely speculative if Starcraft will be as popular ten years from now\n\nWell considering that the original Starcraft came out 13 years ago (it is still being played competively in many parts of the world), that Starcraft 2 was just released and already has at least 2 expansions planned, that the Starcraft franchise is far more popular now than it ever was before, and that RTS (real-time strategy) games have existed before and will exist after Starcraft, I'm pretty sure we can safely say it will be around a long time.\n\n\ntl;dr I believe that Starcraft and Chess are games that should coexist because they teach and improve seperate skills. There were just some misconceptions in the linked post that I wanted to clear up. Also, I probably spent way too much time talking about this.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_h8789", "post_id": "h8789", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/gs2zk/armenia_makes_chess_a_compulsory_subject_in/c1pxyrf?context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/h8789/a_discussion_about_chess_vs_starcraft/", "post_created_utc": 1305043601, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c1tcr15", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c1tcr15", "answer_score": 22, "answer_created_utc": 1305053030}}

{"question_title": "TrueReddit discusses gender, and keeping a child's sex a secret", "body": "I'm going to argue against these parents and their methodology. Please let me know if you find any inconsistencies or anything wrong with my argument.\n\nFirst of all this is really a nature versus nurture question. What these parents are assuming is that all nature is good and all nurture is bad. Therefore the kid should not be molded at all by any societal influences but left to develop completely on his/her own. The parents choose to focus specifically on removing gender identity as a nurturing influence because they think that it is a particularly stifling factor.\n\n\nSo, there are a few factors here. Firstly, let me just say off the bat that there are cases when a child VERY strongly feels like he/she belongs to the other gender and feels incredibly stifled by the fact that he/she is forced to conform to an identity that he/she is not comfortable with. In this case gender identity is a huge cause of confusion and crisis for the child and the child would have been much better off being raised by the hippie parents in the article. However, these extreme cases are few and far between. The vast majority of people do not suffer from gender identity crises. \n\n\nTherefore let's consider a typical child that is growing up in our society. We are not trying to change society here, we will just take it as a given and then consider what the best way to raise a child is in this society, with the ultimate goal of the child being happy. So to simplify, let's say we have exactly two choices, either to raise him/her gendered or genderless. If the child is raised gendered then we have a typical person going through life, living by some implicit gendered guidelines. The normal person I would say generally does not feel stifled by his/her gendered upbringing but rather uses it to reinforce his/her identity. I would say that having a well-defined identity is important to feeling a sense of purpose in life and avoiding depression. It's important when someone asks \"who are you?\" to be able to answer that question on some deep level. It's important to have an identity relative to your peers and see yourself as a member of society, falling into place in the world order that you see around you. Humans are social creatures after all, and want to fit in with respect to those that they see around them. People try to stand out in various small ways (wear mohawks, noserings, yell at parties to attract attention to themselves), but generally speaking they do it within the strict limits that are imposed by society. They DO very much want to fit in, they just want to stand out in some minor ways. And having a gender one identifies with is an easy, basic way that people can feel that they fall into place within society.\nWhat should I wear today? I am a guy and therefore I should wear guys clothing. I will not wear a dress. Had I been brought up to wear dresses I'd probably be more than happy to wear them, but as is I do not care and I conform to these mild societal expectations that have been laid out for me\nAnd again, there are exceptions to the rule, there are always exceptions. There are people that specifically feel stifled by their gender identity and it's a cause of huge concern for them. However, there are relatively few people like this and we're considering the pros and cons of raising a TYPICAL child in a particular way.\n\n\nNow, let's consider a child that's brought up without a gender identity. There are two cases here: one in which the child lives in an environment in which it's common to be ambiguously gendered, and the other in which the child grows up in a typically gendered environment. In the former case I would't be surprised if there were no problems in raising the child genderless. In fact, a gender-free upbringing may be advantageous with respect to the child's well-being. \nHowever, a typical present-day environment is strongly gendered, so let's consider this case as more likely. The child that's brought up without the concepts of a boy or girl will eventually be dumped into a typical social environment, look around him/herself and find that everyone acts according to certain rules that he/she does not understand. There are these \"boys\" and \"girls\" and apparently the distinction between the two is extremely important and they are supposed to act differently, but he/she will not quite understand what the distinction is and how he/she is supposed to fit into this binary environment. Cue huge problems and a possible identity crisis, the effects of which will last far longer than just childhood. After all, we are all formed on a very deep level by our experiences when we were young. \n\n\nAnd is conforming to the expectations of a particular gender really that difficult? We conform to SO many more genderless societal expectations on a daily basis. Take something trivial as an example that we do in north america without thinking about it - we are polite and smile all the time. This is not typical - there was an article posted some time ago that talked about how people never smile in other countries unless there's something sincerely funny going on. This constant friendly smiling is a societal norm that is imposed on our children. Should we teach our kids not to smile all the time just to avoid this norm? But then won't we be just imposing a new norm on them, specifically, the norm NOT to smile? You could try not imposing any norms at all, but really what the kids will be doing is copying whatever you do. That's all kids do is try to fit into whatever they see around them. Think of how many societal rules we impose on them: talk intelligibly, do not hit people around you, wear clothes in public, eat with a fork/spoon, keep plates in the drawers, keep your room clean, write on paper not on walls, etc, etc, etc, etc. And unless the kids are born with some type of very strong natural preference for a particular way to act, this sort of thing is typically not a problem. \n\n\nWhy single out gender-related conformity when it's not typically intrinsically problematic? And being genderless in a gendered society would make for some very very miserable kids further down the road, with potential huge identity crises...\n\n\nThat's my take on it anyway. Let me know if there are any inconsistencies or if there's anything that you particularly disagree with.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_hh3nm", "post_id": "hh3nm", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueReddit/comments/hgue6/parents_keep_childs_gender_secret/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/hh3nm/truereddit_discusses_gender_and_keeping_a_childs/", "post_created_utc": 1306036455, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c1veyh2", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c1veyh2", "answer_score": 13, "answer_created_utc": 1306088348}}

{"question_title": "Discussion of Nationalism and Patriotism through the lens of modern German attitudes", "body": "Patriotism and nationalism are two different things.\n\nPatriotism is love of one's country, more specifically its political institutions, including their history and their future propagation. It is often ideological. Some might argue that patriotism is an important unifying factor in a multi-ethnic society like the United States, where people do not see one another as sharing the same ethnicity and, in some cases, culture. Patriotism argues that political institutions are greater than genetic and geographic accidents. In this sense, it inherits a lot of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment political tradition.\n\nNationalism is indelibly tied to things like ethnicity and race. Nationalism argues that a country's political institutions are the consequence of the particular destiny or properties of a particular race or ethnicity. A nationalistic country isn't \"free\" because of its political institutions, its political institutions exist as a result of its national (read: racial/ethnic) characteristics. During the height of nationalism (19th-20th centuries), certain races and ethnicities were accorded certain \"natural\" political institutions, e.g. \"oriental despotism\" etc. Nationalism has much more in common with nineteenth-century political philosophy, like that of Hegel.\n\nBoth can be quite dangerous when manipulated by demagogues and populists, but nationalism is a thousand times more dangerous than patriotism. One can be patriotic without being belligerent or chauvinistic, but it's damn-near impossible to be a nationalist without being a racist or ethnocentrist.\n\nA few case studies (from my own perspective):\n\n* United Sates: hyper-patriotic, American-style democracy and capitalism is best for all people.\n* European far-right: hyper-nationalistic, \"to each his own\" and \"stay the f*ck out\"; each European country's political institutions are the result of their national characteristics", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_hi4gc", "post_id": "hi4gc", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/hhr2w/reminded_me_of_foxnews_for_some_reason/c1viay1", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/hi4gc/discussion_of_nationalism_and_patriotism_through/", "post_created_utc": 1306166602, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c1vmqks", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c1vmqks", "answer_score": 1, "answer_created_utc": 1306191217}}

{"question_title": "An in-depth explanation of the supposed danger of \nFukushima from r/askscience.", "body": "This guy does not have the slightest clue what he's talking about! He's spreading misinformation and shame on you for listening to him! There is no way in hell he's a nuclear engineer.\n\nThe nuclear reactors are not like ovens. That's ridiculous. Decay heat is not small in comparison to the residual heat. Not by a long shot. And the cores are not ice cold right now. The decay is exponential, meaning that they will never stop producing heat. At first there will be a steep drop, but then the heat production will start to level at 1%, and go down and hover around .05 to .01% for quit awhile. This doesn't seem like much, but when the max power output is around 35 terajoules, even just .001% is 3.5 million kilojoules of power output. Edit: 35 terajoules is way too high. 800 megajoules is probably in the ball park, but even still, .1% of that is 800 kilojoules of heat production every second and .01% is 80 kilojoules every second. That's still a big deal.).\n\nEdit: I also want to point out that that decay heat graph is total bullshit because of the way it's represented. The change in X jumps from .00099, to .099, to 9.9 days which makes it look as though it is decreasing faster than it really is since the change in Y remains linear. In truth, the decay heat will only be a small fraction of the max power output, but that small fraction is HUGE!!\n\nDecay heat is what boiled the water off, decay heat is what burst the pressure vessels, and decay heat is what caused the cores to burn a hole through the bottom of containment. Now the cores are burrowing into the concrete foundation where they will remain indefinitely.\n\nAnd when it comes to the radiation amounts, it has already been estimated that Fukushima Daiichi released 20% of the radiation released by Chernobyl in the first week, but up to date numbers have yet to be released by TEPCO. If there track record has told us anything it's that the actual numbers will be much higher since TEPCO has been underestimating the doses and downplaying the severity since day one.\n\n>Fukushima is a shining example of the safety of nuclear reactors. The reactor is 40 years old, had known defects, and would never have been allowed to operate in the US. Zero people died (from radiation), zero people will die.\n\nFukushima is not a shinning example of nuclear safety. Every line of safety precautions failed miserably. The earth quake shattered the concrete foundation. The nuclear reactors suffered melt downs and melt throughs hours after the tsunami took out the generators. The amount of radiation that will be released will be much higher than chernobyl, and there is no adequate response for such a disaster because we do not posses the technology to clean the mess up. As of right now, the core material is seeping into the surrounding soil and making its way for the water table and ocean along with air born radiation being released do to steam. Every line of defense failed and now we have an unprecedented nuclear catastrophe on our hands that no one knows how to stop. The only thing we can do is encase it in a sarcophagus, but that will take a year at least from the start of construction because we have to build a massive subterranean barrier.\n\nAlso, there will be many horrible consequences from the radiation exposure. It will cause heightened rates of miscarriages, birth defects, retardation, and cancer to all the populations that are exposed. Meaning that all the misinformation being spread under the precedent of preventing a panic is causing harm to people. The exclusionary zone is already 400 square miles and there are hot spots all over Japan that will make resettlement absolutely necessary. \n\nThis disaster is very bad, and don't let anyone downplay it. Anyone who says they aren't worried about it just doesn't have a single clue about the actual consequences that will arise.\n\nThis guy is spreading misinformation that is just blatantly wrong. He is making a fool out of all of you. Don't listen to him and stop getting all your information from the armchair experts that have proven to be wrong time and time again about Fukushima. Don't be fooled! I'm not kidding when I say that there are actually people posting on this who are claiming to have credentials but are really just lying to you.

And if you've PM'd me recently asking to be added to that list, you've probably been disappointed by my response.\n\nThe short of it is this: I created DepthHub more than a year ago, but never came up with a clear criteria for inclusion in the sidebar. That wasn't particularly problematic so long as the community stayed relatively small, but we're now closing in on 20,000 subscribers, and requests for sidebar inclusion average about one per week.\n\nSo, from now on, there will be two criteria for inclusion in the sidebar, one preliminary, and one retrospective:\n\n1. **Your reddit must prominently specify that it specializes in long-form or in-depth submissions.** Preferably in your sidebar. Linking to DepthHub will not, on its own, cover that, although reciprocal links to DepthHub will still be required.\n\n2. **Moderators should make an effort at ensuring compliance.** That doesn't mean you have to rule with an iron-fist, deleting any posts that aren't up to snuff, but if standards slip I will want to see the moderators doing something to counteract that slippage, even if it's as simple as a self post re-emphasizing the need for more in-depth content.\\*\n\nI'm not out to force anyone's hand. As always, DepthHub affiliation is strictly voluntary to begin with, so if the mods of another reddit don't want to meet those conditions, that's fine. All they lose is a link in our sidebar, and in the grand scheme of things, that's nothing to cry over.\n\nThe reason for those conditions is simple: DepthHub offered reciprocal links and nominal affiliation as a way of encouraging in-depth submissions by promoting and supporting reddits that specialize in that sort of content. Those promotions are less effective if we water down our list with links to reddits that aren't especially committed to that sort of content. I don't want to short-change reddits and moderators that are really out to encourage in-depth content on Reddit by lumping them in with reddits that include everything.\n\nSo what does that mean in practical terms. Three things:\n\n1. If you're a subscriber/contributor to DepthHub, nothing. Keep submitting and reading DepthHub links the way you always have. There's never been a requirement to draw material specifically from our affiliated reddits, and that isn't changing with the new criteria.\n\n2. If you moderate one of the reddits in our sidebar, and you want to stay there, check to make sure you meet those criteria. I'll be cleaning up our current list over the next few days, and reddits that don't meet those criteria will be removed. I'll PM the mods before I remove it to give them a chance to be compliant.\n\n3. If you've messaged me in the past to have your reddit added to the list, and were disappointed in my response, now's the time to try again -- provided that you meet those two criteria.\n\nIn other news, I'm closing down [MethodHub](http://www.reddit.com/r/MethodHub). I'll admit that it suffered, in large part, from [a lack of clear direction](http://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/fxf3f/an_appeal_to_the_science_community_of_reddit/), and [recent attempts to restructure it](http://www.reddit.com/r/MethodHub/comments/hdlsm/whats_going_on_with_methodhub/) haven't helped much. Ultimately, though, I've come to the conclusion that there's simply no demand for a science-oriented hub community on Reddit, and no clear way to distinguish between submissions that belong there and submissions that don't.

{"question_title": "A discussion on talent distribution in EPL soccer and American Sports", "body": "[A summary of my post on that thread]\n\nIn that thread, people are making gross exaggerations about the importance of winning in American sports, to say the least. There are huge financial and non-monetary incentives for teams in the 'big 4' (NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL) to have good playoff/championship runs. Huge uptake in merchandise sales, game attendance, TV tune-in. It also creates the ability for them to draw major talent.\n\nThis should be obvious - it's the reason why the Yankees, Lakers, Red Wings, and Patriots have won so much in recent years. Clear examples of this can be seen when traditionally non-winning teams have cinderella/underdog playoff runs (SF Giants last year, warriors upset mavs round 1, 2007 [bay area native here].\n\nBottom teams are also not 'massively' compensated. Look at the salary cap discrepancy in baseball - lower teams (Marlins, A's, D'backs) have total payrolls in the $50M range, while the Yankees have a tidy $206M. Consider then that the top 20 players are paid $20M+. None of those smaller teams could afford any of those. \n\nNFL team payrolls range from $81-$138M. \nNHL team payrolls range from $28-$61M. \nNBA team payrolls range from $38-$96M\n\nThat being said, the parity in American sports is pretty impressive - that teams can go from low in the league to champions in just a few years doesn't seem like something that could happen in Europe. However, there is still definitely a sort of 'hierarchy' of teams, often based upon payrolls.\n\nTL;DR - American sports are not socialist.

There are ways to find people who do bad things in the real world and there are ways to find people who do bad things in the cyber world. The fact that it's more difficult to find them on the internet is balanced by the fact that you are also limited in the kinds of bad things you can do on the internet (can't commit murder, assault, ect). Any suggestion that there should be some kind of permanent marker attached to your actions on the internet should be met with the same level of suspicion as attaching a tracking device to you offline. If it gets implemented at all there needs to be safeguards put in place to prevent civil rights abuse. I would also suggest that 'privacy property' on the internet, and ones right to privacy within private property, should be treated with the same level of respect as it is offline.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_j37vs", "post_id": "j37vs", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/business/comments/j35a8/on_pseudonymity_privacy_and_responsibility_on/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/j37vs/great_article_about_online_anonymity_from/", "post_created_utc": 1311948753, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c2aaeml", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c2aaeml", "answer_score": 1, "answer_created_utc": 1312530109}}

I recall my jr high years where I was one of only a few who carried novels around and were fascinated by words and vocabulary and writing. One time in a high school English class I was nudged by the football player behind me - he wanted to know how to spell \"red.\"\n\nI think a similar individual today would know the rudiments of how letters form words just from texting his gf. I watched yesterday in amazement as a kid who I would not have thought capable of reading type in various web adresses in the url field. He caught errors in spelling and knew the keyboard very well.\n\nThis is not equal to a literary culture.

{"question_title": "Discussion on the future of music in r/classicalmusic.", "body": "As a classical musician, I am always saddened by the fate of classical music.\n\nSo many of the musically gifted composers of the last few generations have gone where the money is: soundtracks, pop music, other fields, etc.  The fact that no real future lies in classical composition for its own sake (as compared to for film or what have you) for the vast majority of composers meant that they turned to academia as a source of patronage.  \n\nUnfortunately, this means that so many of the \"serious\" composers are no longer beholden to any form of audience.  Rather, they are held accountable to other academics.\n\nI have tried to support modern classical music for years.  However, I am disappointed time and time again.  Often, when going to modern classical performances, I feel like the composer is taking advantage of me as a platform for his or her own vanity.  They will usually offer a handful of pieces, almost all of them programmatic.  And the contents of every piece is almost invariably just the source thematic material encoded or mapped in some arbitrary fashion into music.\n\nThere have been plenty of composers who never let academic integrity get in the way of musical genius.  Messiaen is one of the best examples of one who can created such complex works without requiring listeners to follow along with a score to follow what he is doing.  But for every Messiaen, there are hundreds of Xenakis-like composers.  Those whose music can only be understand after careful analysis and therefore (in my opinion) serve very little function as music.  Concert goers attend modern music performances by these composers and are immediately punished for their mistake.\n\nOn the bright side, there seems to be trend emerging for composers to return to more musically appealing creation that still offers innovation, but does not make innovation the sole redeeming quality.  Music that is being performed by major symphony orchestras seems to be heading this way.  And composers who write for wind ensembles have actually been producing wonderful work for decades, as they do have to worry about their music being performed and enjoyed.  There will always be the snake oil salesmen like Xenakis who flash their academic credentials in your face to tell you that you just don't understand their music (as one who has dealt with graduate and post-graduate level mathematics, this simply is not true for Xenakis).  And there will be those who are so intent on avoiding critical analysis, or who are so intent on preserving their own status as an intellectual who appreciates modern art, that they will pretend that any musical composition is as worthwhile as the next.  Hopefully, this love affair with academic circlejerking has gotten enough backlash that it will die down a bit and we will have people forced to write good music as opposed to writing complex musical structures.

[This](http://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicPhilosophy/comments/jkq0t/are_deontological_moral_judgments/) is an example. [This](http://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/k45cc/is_a_theory_of_everything_even_possible/) is a better example.\n\nThis is an issue of both reddiquette and rigor, the latter being more important since reddiquette is just a mechanism to achieve quality submissions. *Even though I agree with your sentiment*, that's not sufficient to upvote it.

{"question_title": "An atheist's rejection of Buddhism as opposed to the usual Judeo-Christian-Islamic arguments.", "body": "Interesting post. Disclaimer, I practice Vajrayana Buddhism.\n\n>Buddhism is fast becoming yet another monotheistic religion with Buddha as the god. \n\nTrue. It’s worth noting  that Buddhists believe that Buddha Shayamuni is only one of countless Buddhas that have and will appeared. Shakyamuni is referred to as a ‘historical Buddha’, meaning he arrived when there were no Buddhist teachings. Over time the meaning of the teachings will be lost until only the rituals are left and then there will be no remnants of Buddhism at all. After this point another Buddha will bring teachings (and be the fourth historical Buddha of our time). I think it’s fair to say that we can see some of this decline today in various parts of the world.\n\n>Then you add in all of the other nonsense like resurrection, reincarnation, spirits, etc., and Buddhism is just another Asian monotheism. \n\nResurrection is a new one for me! Reincarnation and spirits or gods (not creator gods but formless beings etc) are typically not well understood, and even debated by people practicing Buddhism. In my experience though the affront to reason these pose is typically because mainly Christian concepts are used to understand them. I could go on however this has been comprehensively discussed in r/Buddhism.\n\n>Reincarnation is probably the worst - this is a hideous belief, almost as bad as an afterlife, especially the wheel of samsara version. It teaches people their successes are not their own…\n\nThis isn’t correct. Buddhism teaches that the self is illusory so to say that success is because of one life or another completely misses the point. Indeed, we (or more accurately impersonal mind) is not created or destroyed so making distinctions between bodies misses the point.\n\n>…their faults as punishment for past deeds (that no one has any memory of), \n\nGiven the outline above, it simply teaches cause and effect. There is no god to dole out punishment.\n\n>… and similarly to Christianity, it reduces life to a trial that must be endured rather than... well, life.\n\nThis couldn’t be further from the truth, however I can see how this conclusion could be reached with only a cursory knowledge and no experience of meditation practice. Understanding that our true essence (impersonal mind) is indestructible leads to fearless compassion and wisdom that can transform the most brutal of lives. I would recommend looking at the experiences of some of the Tibetan monks who were imprisoned and tortured by the Chinese army to get a better perspective of this.\n\n>Our current Dalai Lama is what, the 14th? In a long line descended straight from a god? \n\nThe Dalai lama is not descended straight from God. The Sakya lineage is said to be descended from celestial beings however the message from both Sakya Trinzin and the Dalai lama is the same as Buddha Shakyamuni, which is that all sentient beings are Buddhas and that all we need to do is work with mind to realise this. It is an equalising religion as could possibly be.\n\n>What matter of bullshit is this? I think we've heard enough of these \"ruler is also a god/demigod/son of a god/avatar of a god\" stories to know this never ends well.\n\nI think this is pretty selective, there have been mass murderers such as Milarepa who have gone on to become lineage holders (or the Kagyu tradition). I think this is pretty inclusive…\n\n>My third and next obvious problem is with monasticism…if everyone practiced these kinds of lifestyles and philosophies, progress would cease to occur and society would stagnate. \n\nAbsolutely, however what is the chance of everyone devoting their life to the full-time practice of Buddhism in a monastery? None. It’s crucial to understand though that people can effectively practice Buddhism as a lay person, a monk/nun or a yogi/yogini. The end goal is not to get everyone into a monastery.\n\n\n>Finally, I would say my fourth and deepest problem with Buddhism is philosophical disagreement with its tenets. Namely, the whole idea that living is suffering, we are all trapped in a cycle of being, etc. The entire belief system is very nihilistic, they just have a different word for it: sunyata. \n\nIt’s only nihilistic if you stop at point one of the fourth noble truths (the truth of suffering). The next three (the truth of the cause of suffering, the end of suffering and the path to the end of suffering) should provide a more upbeat message!\n\n>We are all empty shells and subject to the flows and ebbs of karma, and the only path to salvation is to empty ourselves of emotion. \n\nActually the path to salvation is to recognise the true nature of emotions, not to become a lobotomised, zombie, automaton.\n\n>I would say if the Abrahamic monotheisms are cults that worship death, Buddhism and its various cousins are cults that worship another thing: pain. This is a religion built around the fetishistic worship of pain: simultaneously going to such pains to understand it, to explain it, while also preaching that it must be avoided and laying out the exact rules one must follow to do so. \n\nBuddhism is advice. You can take it or leave it. It’s the same with monks and nuns vows, you can take all of them or just some of them. There’s no damnation waiting for you if you don’t ‘follow the rules’.\n\n>This is really no different than Moses laying down the Ten Commandments that one must follow to be reunited with Jesus after death \n\nThere is truth in this. For example if you go around killing and raping etc and are happy to see people suffer you will never become enlightened.\n\n>...just like all religions, Buddhism is another system of control. \n\nPolitics has and will mix with religion and this is the case. I agree however I don't think this is a religious problem.\n\n>dull desire, sensation, pleasure, amusement, everything. This is burning down a forest and calling the desolation peace. I'm all for moderation too, but this is emotional death, robbing us of everything that makes us human and life enjoyable.\n\nI’ve not met the people the poster has, so won’t comment other than this is the polarisation of what I have experienced/witnessed.\n\n>I respect Buddhism a lot (and have met lots of Buddhists that I respect) and think it's a lot more sophisticated of a theology/philosophy than Christianity, which looks like the barbaric desert religion that it is in comparison, but I do not agree with it. There are many, many good parts in it that I think can be divorced for a secular lifestyle, but the core tenets are no less insidious and soul-crushing than the idea of a tyrannical God or an eternity of torment in Hell.\n\nI think there’s definitely some genuine grievances in this post, but they seem to be more with ‘the state of Buddhist culture in Asia’ as there is a significant misunderstanding of Buddhist teaching/practice.\n\nJust my 2 cents anyway…\n\n***TLDR; this guy seems to have some legitimate beef but doesn't understand Buddhism.***", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_kbh7d", "post_id": "kbh7d", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/kb4xf/why_are_you_so_hostile_to_religion_original/c2ivsaa", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/kbh7d/an_atheists_rejection_of_buddhism_as_opposed_to/", "post_created_utc": 1315691202, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c2ixzu4", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c2ixzu4", "answer_score": 92, "answer_created_utc": 1315696256}}

While Chile was pretty well fleshed out, I feel like it's my duty to dispell any feeling that socialism in India worked to any extent.\n\n*Disclaimer: I don't consider myself a socialist. Actually I don't consider myself anything.*\n\nIndia's socialism was the worst thing to happen to it since the British. For nearly a half-century after independence, India was one of the most socialist democratically-elected countries. You could tell just by living there - virtually nothing was foreign made. This was because of a law stating that any company selling in India had to have 51% Indian ownership. This meant that you couldn't even buy Coke in India, since the government would have required the company to disclose its formula. You might have heard the term \"License Raj\" - a name that came to describe India's government: so slow, so dominating of industry, and so corrupt that it was impossible to get anything done.\n\nGiven that India was already poor at independence, the lack of foreign investment through the License Raj and stifling of any domestic entrepreneurship through corruption made it impossible for the country to grow. For decades, it managed a paltry 2% \"Hindu Growth Rate\" while countries that started out similarly: Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and even China flourished. This state of affairs would have continued until finally the Indian government realized it was suffocating the country and loosened regulations. This allowed foreign companies to invest in India for the first time, starting a chain reaction leading to the near 10% growth you see today and its emergence as a legitimate regional power. Thus, it was only after India dropped its socialist mindset that it was able to grow its economy and lift people out of poverty.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_kjzdf", "post_id": "kjzdf", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/kjfv7/if_socialism_is_so_good_why_has_it_failed/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/kjzdf/rsocialism_defends_its_ideology/", "post_created_utc": 1316393613, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c2kxgdj", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c2kxgdj", "answer_score": 19, "answer_created_utc": 1316413362}}

Because allowing people to link to their own submissions and comments is subject to at least two kinds of abuse:\n\n1. It can be a way of getting around DepthHub's \"[local domain](http://www.reddit.com/r/DepthHub/comments/fl5sd/concerning_links_to_domains_other_than_redditcom/)\" rule.

Effectively, that would be like posting an external link to DepthHub.\n\n2. It can be used as a form of self-promotion. If your submission didn't make it to the front page of the reddit you posted it to, or if your comment in a debate isn't getting as many up votes as the other person's, a link to DepthHub might send a few more votes your way and put you over the top. But DepthHub shouldn't be anyone's personal up vote army. We reward spontaneous depth that we find out there on Reddit, and we in turn are rewarded for discovering depth.\n\nNeither of these were really immanent problems with DepthHub was still small, but with 23,000+ subscribers, those abuses start to become more tempting. We may not even recognize that we're doing something that might guide us away from the benefits this reddit has to offer.\n\nThe only exception I plan to make is this: If you start a new depth-centric reddit, or if you have an announcement about an event you're staging as a moderator in a depth-centric reddit, you're still welcome to post a link to those announcements.\n\nNone of this is personal. It's just something that needs to be done to keep DepthHub on the right track. If you've linked to your own submission or comment in the past, don't worry about it.

The regulatory risk and associated costs are very great because the regulatory regime has varied dramatically in different administrations.

{"question_title": "The Climbers in Society. Are American university students changing for the worse?", "body": "A good article, despite its antiquity. (April 2001? Really?)\n\nHis main complaint is that students attending college in a \"prudential frame of mind\", unlike those in a poetic one, have lost sight of the true meaning of higher education: that is, to think critically about yourself. \n\nI don't intend to speak on behalf of all students, but many of us do attend college more for the degree (and networking opportunities) than for self-enlightenment. The problem is that we're shortsighted: we've structured our lives to be a series of goals and objectives, which is good, but maturity and self-mastery (a phrase I'd like to borrow from the article) don't always come in neatly-defined outlines. We believe that doing well in college will lead to attaining a good career, from which we can build a happy, fulfilling life. We can definitely achieve happiness in this manner - but it's the kind of happiness that comes in a can. \n\nThe writer proposes that because our parents didn't instill a sense of duty (whether moral, religious, or spiritual) in us, we have lost the ability to attain true fulfillment; because we don't follow a code of honour, or subscribe to chivalry, or mete out justice or partake in activism, we are complacent, and cannot visualize what it means to be \"poetically enlightened\". Basically, he finds us much too agreeable.\n\nWhat he wants is to see old-fashioned rebellion against authority; something that shows we aren't just \"information-processing machines\" (as one student he'd interviewed had said), something that shows we can think critically. But the problem is that philosophy is useless in today's job market - you aren't going to build a prosthetic arm by waxing poetic about sin and virtue. And our parents have raised us to be pragmatic individuals: we don't protest because the costs are too high (expulsion, suspension, something that affects our future job prospects). While we live in a democratic society wherein freedom is the foundation, we are chained by our own conformism and pragmatism.\n\nHe's certainly not saying that the past - in which sexism and racism ran rampant - is better than the present. But perhaps we had a better vision of what it meant to be \"self-fulfilled\" back then.\n\nOf course, my major problem with this article is that its age has rendered it completely obsolete. In the last decade, the U.S. has seen a major terrorist attack, two wars, a nosediving economy (I just about laughed when the writer said we were experiencing \"the sweetest job market in history\"), and dwindling opportunities for graduates.

{"question_title": "r/RedditDebate: What, if any, duty does a person have to their fellow person?", "body": "The debate is somewhat feeble since its participants are coming from highly ideological positions (Randianism, libertarianism, social democracy, socialism) rather than more thoroughly philosophical backgrounds.\n\n* The Randian comes up with a definition of duty that ignores the entire history of the concept: \"The moral necessity to perform certain actions for no reason other than obedience to some higher authority, without regard to any personal goal, motive, desire or interest.\" This is lifted directly from a web site called the \"[Ayn Rand Lexicon](http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/duty.html),\" where duty is called an \"anti-concept\" (whatever that is; further research suggests that it is Randian jargon for 'bad'). In truth, the notion of duty shares a long tradition with what are called [deontological ethics](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deontological_ethics). Furthermore, the Randian view of duty denies the following: (1) that we can choose which set of rules to follow (subscribe to a particular set of duties); (2) that rules are always open to interpretation; (3) how one does either of these is *necessarily* determined by *intention*, and one always *chooses* one's intention. So, it is simply untrue that 'duty' removes choice and responsibility. In fact, the less whacky view of duty -- the one supported by thousands of years of philosophy -- includes the duty of Randians to attack duty.\n\n* The libertarian (\"anarcho-capitalist\") has an equally contrived definition of duty: \"A duty is a moral obligation that a person has towards another person. If a person fails to fulfill such a duty, physical force may morally be used to compel him to fulfill the duty or to seek reparations for failure to fulfill the duty.\" A duty traditionally understood is not really any of these things; I think that he's talking about *law*. One might have a duty to follow the law, but there are many people who do not subscribe to deontological ethics who nevertheless follow the law. He then goes on to say that libertarians only have the duty to allow others their just freedom. That is precisely just the sort of rule that the actual definition of duty (rather than the one he made up about coercion) includes. He has reinvented the definition of duty only to allow for the libertarian \"non-aggression axiom,\" just as libertarians often reinvent the definition of violence not to include exploitation and servitude.\n\nThose two views are somewhat on the fringe of the ideological scene, so it's no surprise that in an attempt to mask how radical their views are, they have to redefine common words and concepts -- or simply use them incorrectly -- in order to appear more tempting to less inclined people. Sort of like how revolutionary Marxism has an entire lexicon of bizarre jargon and often has totally different views on the meaning of certain words than most people do.\n\n* The (Social) Democrat (there are really two of them) takes the \"life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness\" approach, with heavy emphasis on the \"pursuit of happiness\" part. There's very little discussion of what a duty actually is; although, he comes close with the notion of the social contract as an agreed to set of rules that one chooses to follow. (Of course, the libertarian would say that we do not really \"choose\" to follow the laws since in breaking them we are threatened with punishment and death; in this case, he would be partially right -- but only partially, because there are many people who follow those laws with which they agree, and break those laws which they view as inconvenient or unjust.) So, the duty for the social democrat is to be a good social democrat, which means doing one's best to provide equal opportunity and equal protection under law constrained by a liberal (in the classical sense) constitution.\n\n* Since I am beginning to repeat myself, I'm going to have to short-change the socialist (no pun intended). As with the previous three, duty for the socialist is to be a socialist.\n\nAnd that's the problem with this debate. There is little discussion of what a duty is, philosophically speaking, and whether or not we need have any. For each of the ideologues, duty is subscription to their ideology (which is itself a set of rules that must be followed). In that sense, the only one who *really* misses the mark is the Randian who doesn't realize that it's his duty to despise duty.\n\nI would say that duty is always voluntary; people choose to have certain duties by doing various things: loving people and garnering their trust (friends, family, close loved ones), swearing oaths (oaths are always duties; breaking them is always failing in duty), making the choice to subscribe to a particular rule set (ideology, religion, etc.), and so on. If you have a duty, then you have a duty -- and the interpretation of your success or failure with regard to following that duty will always be in conversation with yourself and others. Thus a soldier might refuse an order out of duty to his or her oath, but may nevertheless be punished for it or deemed wrong for having done so (consider the Oath Keepers, who have recently engaged in violence in order to uphold what they view as their duty to the U.S. Constitution). The soldier might always feel that he or she has succeeded in his duty; others might always feel that he or she has failed. Rules always have to be interpreted.\n\nThe confusion that this creates is why I consider deontological ethics to be incomplete in the total account for ethics; they provide part of the picture, but not all of it.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_ltwea", "post_id": "ltwea", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/RedditDebate/comments/ltf0q/what_if_any_duty_does_a_person_have_to_their/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/ltwea/rredditdebate_what_if_any_duty_does_a_person_have/", "post_created_utc": 1319955325, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c2vlbly", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c2vlbly", "answer_score": 43, "answer_created_utc": 1319969677}}

I think most people have trouble because they simply don't believe what they are reading.\n\nYes, when they say that they reserve the right to revoke your access at any time for any or no reason with no recourse on your part and with no refund, they do mean it.  They actually expect you to pay for what is, essentially, asking them for a favor that they are under no responsibility whatsoever to actually perform and nothing more.\n\nIf tomorrow Valve decided to lock everyone out of Steam unless they paid $100/game in their library to re-acquire access, there would be no problem.  You agreed to give them that permission in the EULA.\n\nWell, there would be ONE little problem... almost nothing in any of these EULAs is legal.  Every industry has seen unscrupulous assclowns try to strip customers of their rights using tactics like these.  And the courts have responded by refusing to permit it.  The software and games industry continues to have 'agreements' like these simply because no gamer has yet ever had the spine to stand up for themselves and challenge them.  There is almost zero chance they will ever hold up in court.  For instance, the fact that you can't give your game licenses to a friend, or sell them used?  Yeah, no way in hell that is legal or will ever survive any legal challenge.  A company cannot simply say \"oh, well, we're just selling permission for you to play the game which we can take away at any time and which you can never transfer to anyone else, etc, etc\".  Courts will pants games publishing companies in public and spank their insane ass.  But, they can only rule on cases brought before them.  Someone actually has to have the backbone to fight them on it.  Most likely, though, eventually all digital distro sites will be legally required to make licenses transferrable and will be forbidden from interfering in sales of used licenses.\n\nBut of course that's all based on the court cases that have been established in the past.  Given the attitudes of modern consumers, it's not impossible that the courts might figure public opinion has changed and they'll just let publishers do whatever the fuck they want to gamers.

{"question_title": "withoutamartyr describes who Big Bang Theory actually caters to", "body": "It's insightful to suggest that a highly popular show has appeal across multiple demographics?\n\nBased upon my interests and my career I am what most would characterize as a \"nerd,\" but I find TBBT neither uproariously funny nor offensively unfunny. Certainly neither of those measures has *anything* to do with whether or not I feel that it is being \"sincere\" or \"authentic\" with regards to what is called -- stupidly, in my opinion -- \"nerd culture.\"\n\n*Friends* (about which I am equally ambivalent) is another popular sitcom; but there was never any question about whether or not it appealed to archaeologists, people who work in coffee shops, and so on. A sitcom is a *situational* comedy; a sitcom *requires* certain character types, and then places them in the kinds of situations that will produce the most comedy with the types given. A character's occupation or interests might have some bearing, but for the large part, the characters are stock characters which represent personality types that viewers can easily graft onto themselves or people they know. Sitcoms are not character-driven, they are plot-driven. The modern sitcom is the spiritual successor to the [commedia dell'arte](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commedia_dell%27arte), which worked with character types and situations. You have buffoons, you have idiots, you have the clever ones, the conniving ones, the pathetic ones, and so on -- it doesn't matter if they farm wheat or teach physics.\n\nThe fact that the characters in TBBT are nerds does not matter; if it did, it would not be so popular, and it would be a weird kind of sitcom. This is why any self-styled \"nerd\" who watches it for \"nerd humor\" will be disappointed.

The OP's argument boils down to little more than \"engineers and scientists are too committed to the truth for politics,\" which completely ignores the facts that: (1) people who are wrong often still believe that they are committed to the truth; (2) people committed to the truth can still be wrong; (3) not every political issue can be solved using the scientific method; (4) scientists are not superhumans free of prejudice, emotion, false premises, and misguided assumptions; and (4) \"the scientific mindset\" is the scientific method, i.e. empiricism, and does not have an exclusive claim to rationalism, which includes non-empirical things like rhetorical logic.\n\nAs a case in point, whether or not the phrase \"well-regulated militia\" in Amendment II of the US Constitution restricts the right to bear arms to militia or merely emphasizes the importance of the right to bear arms to militia is not a question that science can answer. An engineer is no more predisposed, *as an engineer*, than is a garbageman to the resolution of this issue. *It is not a matter of fact*.\n\nScience can help make better legislation when it is necessary for legislation to have knowledge of the facts. That does not mean that scientists know how to write or interpret law, even less that they are equipped to persuade people to the importance of a particular law. This is especially true when we consider the fact that politicians (and the people who vote for them) must often make decisions, by no fault of their own, in the absence of the full picture. For example, we cannot argue for certain that, say, free and compulsory public education is better than subsidized private education. And yet a need for education clearly exists. The arguments appear to favor public education, so it's the job of a good politician to persuasively advocate for and advance public education.\n\nIn the end, the original question (\"Why do we elect lawyers to be politicians?\") is silly on its face. We elect lawyers to be politicians because politics deals with law, and lawyers know law. One might as well argue that lawyers should be scientists because they would do a better job of persuading people to accept the validity of scientific studies.\n\nEdit: I should add that anybody interested in learning more about why politics and science should never be conflated might like to take a look at Karl Popper.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_onp6m", "post_id": "onp6m", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ol4sn/in_western_countries_why_the_fuck_do_we_keep/c3i73kg", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/onp6m/interesting_commentary_from_a_lawyer_with_degrees/", "post_created_utc": 1327002573, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c3ioowf", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c3ioowf", "answer_score": 43, "answer_created_utc": 1327016406}}

The costs of hunting is very high due to a wide range of associated costs. I don't know what kind of \"bad-ass hunting lady\" would say something like that. If you think I'm kidding, ask any real deer hunter. \n\nHere are some expenses you must take into consideration before making such a claim. These costs vary from state-to-state.\n\n* **Hunter's Education**\n* **Hunter's License**\n* **Game Stamps**\n* **Land Purchase**\n   If you own land, now you must buy deer for the land, feed them, and also buy special licenses to have them on your land and to hunt them. And if you want to let other people on your land, there's more costs associated with that such as legal/liability costs.\n* **Hunting Lease** (More costs associated with this if the land owner charges you per gun)\n* **Truck or SUV** - Plus associated costs such as fuel.\n* **ATV/4-Wheeler** - You'll need this to move around the lease.\n* **Camping Gear** - Typically if you're going hunting, you're going to be camping on the lease for a night or two. \n* **Hunting Gear** \n* **A rifle**. A decent 30-06 will cost you anywhere between $600-$1500.\n* **Ammunition**, costs can vary depending on what your shooting\n* **Deer Feed** - If you're leasing, the land owner may do this for you, but more often than not it's your responsibility if you want a good healthy kill.\n* **TIME**\n\nThe list goes on and on, and I just scratched the surface. No good hunting trip is complete without a case of beer either, go ahead and factor that in as well. \n\nWe're talking **thousands** of dollars here, and that's EVERY year. In the end you may get anywhere from 30-50lbs of meat on average for one kill.\n\nMost hunters hunt because it's fun and enjoyable. You get to connect with the outdoors and really dig into your manhood. It's even more fun if you're with some buddies every time you go. Is the meat a good benefit of the experience?

Expanding the scope of the study to all engineers seems like a fallacy. As the study concludes, \n\n>The most plausible explanation of the engineers’ over-representation among violent Islamic radicals everywhere lies in the joint effect of two causes. Without the severe lack of professional opportunities that they had to endure in MENA countries we would not find an over-representation of graduates [...]\n\n>Both discontent and mindset would not have had the effect they did in inducing the would-be modernising elites of the technically educated to become extremists were it not for the emergence of Islamism as the only credible political opposition to authoritarian and corrupt establishments.\n\nI guess that is a reference to the \"one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist\" claim. There is mention of conservative engineers in the US and Germany, but no real discussion other than mentioning studies that show engineers are more likely to call themselves conservative than other groups.

{"question_title": "A good debate on the merits of Modern Art (or lack thereof)", "body": "I think that the discussion here is interesting; art pieces like those mentioned derive value from the originality of the concept, and their ability to convey ideas that are not present or difficult to articulate in the common lexicon.  However, I really think that those sorts of works are one in a million, and that a lot of more contemporary works have trouble extending beyond what has already been done.  Everything that could be said about the nature of \"virtual\" objects was said with Magritte's [The Treachery of Images](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b9/MagrittePipe.jpg/800px-MagrittePipe.jpg).  There's a reason that that's a famous, world renowned painting: he was the first to do it, and the chair piece mentioned in that discussion is a pale imitation.  I'm sure people with a more extensive background in art history could identify works where that theme was present, but it was the main thrust of Magritte's work and very clearly articulated its point.\n\nThe sheer volume of modern art means that these truly inspired and inspiring pieces are ultimately drowned in a sea of work that either imitates what has come before or is inarticulate in describing what is to come.  Some of these works stand on their own by other merits of artistry, but some are quite explicitly \"thought pieces\" and when their message is insufficient they fall apart.  The prevalence of the latter variety in modern art museums is why, I think, that \"modern art\" carries such a negative stigma.  This is exemplified by an experience my friend had:  he went to a modern art museum, and when he came back I asked him how it was.  His only response was \"There was a bucket of tits.\"  An artist had literally taken a bucket, filled it with silicone breast implants, and put it on a stool.  To most people, this isn't \"art\": art is landscapes and figures and other staples of past styles, and if modern art doesn't use at least some of these trappings, it will be immediately written off.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_p58ta", "post_id": "p58ta", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/p4rxl/when_art_meets_taxidermyholy_shit/c3mlzfk?context=5", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/p58ta/a_good_debate_on_the_merits_of_modern_art_or_lack/", "post_created_utc": 1328051781, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c3mq1p5", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c3mq1p5", "answer_score": 21, "answer_created_utc": 1328073832}}

People keep saying it 'desensitizes' you but I actually found it 'resensitized' me. When I read about graphic murders, bombings, shootings, whatever horrible stuff you want to discuss, it's not just words and numbers to me, it's not statistics. I know deep down how awful they are because I've seen them myself, I've seen what happens when a bomb technician fails to defuse a bomb, I've seen what it's like when people step on IEDs, when people get shot dead, when people commit suicide, when people get bombed, when people are tortured.\n\nIt's not Hollywood. Everything I've ever seen is so far from the violence portrayed in various forms of entertainment that it makes those movies seem like _they_ are desensitizing people. They encourage people to think death by shooting is clean and easy, that people often die like heroes, they make them view the world as 'bad guys' and 'good guys.' The gore videos you see on the internet are an extremely important anchor to reality, a window into the brutality of other peoples' lives, into conflicts which rage across oceans. They give you a perspective that's hidden from you when you read reports about drone bombings killing dozens or prisoners burning alive by the hundreds or soldiers abusing the human rights of others.\n\nI'm extremely reluctant these days to watch extreme violence on video. I've seen virtually everything there is to see, I used to seek it out so that I would understand my own mortality and the frailty of life. I've never been interested in committing violence and to be honest these videos just cemented that idea in my head. I have a deep hatred of warfare, an understanding of the dangers of driving a vehicle, and a visceral grasp on the fleeting nature of my own life.

There's only about 5,000 shelters, kill and no-kill combined. So for strict no kill to happen, each of those shelters would have to take in 1,200 animals every year, more than three animals every day. Adoption rates don't come anywhere close to those numbers.\nAnd this is just what comes to the shelters at all. Estimates for stray cats alone in the United States range as high as 70 million.\nThere simply is no viable means to ending euthanasia. Even if every single animal owned or sheltered in the United States was spayed & neutered, it would take decades or centuries to reduce the feral/stray populations down to levels that make total no kill a reality.\nIn the meantime, all we can do is try our best to alleviate a problem that man spent a millenia creating, since he first started domesticating pets. No kill shelters become life-long prisons for many animals, if they can get into them at all, due to overcrowding. What's more humane, a life of isolation in a cramped environment with no hope of adoption or freedom, or a quick and painless death?

{"question_title": "cokeisahelluvadrug explains the Men's Right's Movement", "body": "I'm just an ignorant redneck, but I'm pretty sure Men's Rights (as I've seen it demonstrated) is about equality, in the sense that they're aiming to iron out advantages women have in society (often around our joke of a family court system), ostensibly to create a more equal society.\n\nAs a feminist once said, \"One of the privileges of having privilege is that you don't see your own privilege.\" Or something like that. (Most) men don't see themselves as particularly privileged. To them, feminism means that they can't tell racy jokes to their buddies at work because some woman will get offended and they'll get fired. And a lot of men know women who are terrible at their jobs, but can't be fired because the company would get into trouble.\n\nLikewise, most women don't see themselves as privileged. To them, any \"advantage\" they may have (and they wouldn't call it that) in the courts, at work, or otherwise is akin to affirmative action - a necessary and proper counterweight to male privilege, and at best a band-aid on a gaping wound.\n\nThe truth is that: 1. Women do have certain privileges, which some women abuse. 2. Men do dominate society, and overwhelmingly so.\n\nThe problem is that resolving institutional sexism requires applying macro-scale, command-based solutions to micro-scale moral problems. Not every hiring manager is a sexist pig, but some of them are. You can't stop people from being sexist though. All you can do is limit their authority to exercise their sexist views. But you can't just apply that to sexists, it has to be applied across the board. So, statistically, there are going to be a bunch of non-sexist hiring managers who now have their decision-making authority restrained for (from their perspective) no good reason.\n\nLikewise, not every father is a bad parent, or an abusive manipulator. However, historically men's role as the provider has given them an unfair advantage over women in family situations. You can't really fix that. You can't stop abusive manipulators from abusing and manipulating. But what you can do is empower women to remove themselves (and their children) from bad situations while restraining the father's ability to stop them. Once again, you can't just apply this to situations with psychotic men and helpless women. Psychotic women with helpless husbands are equally empowered to use this tool as a sword, rather than a shield. So, statistically, some good, loving fathers are going to get screwed by an uncaring court system.\n\nA little background for the point I'm about to make...\n\nIn information theory, there's the concept of a \"leaky abstraction.\" There's a formal definition, but generally it means that no abstract representation of information can ever capture the entirety of what it is abstracting, and details of the information it is obscuring will 'leak' through the abstraction. As a poor example, your cell phone abstracts away the details of what it is (a handheld, two-way radio) and presents it as a familiar device (a telephone.) However, the abstraction is imperfect because it is not a traditional telephone, and the details of what it truly is leak through (in the form of having to worry about signal quality, dropped calls, etc.)\n\nIn the same way, laws are essentially abstractions of moral codes. Because it's impossible to codify 'right' and 'wrong,' laws instead attempt to abstract away the morality and provide a set of objective criteria for evaluating behavior and meting out punishment. However, no matter how complex the rules, they can never fully encompass the nuance of a philosophical problem like what is right or wrong. Again, as a poor example, it's wrong to drive dangerously. But if you try to unpack that, it becomes a spiderweb of context and exceptions. What is dangerous depends highly on factors like road conditions, driver skill, traffic density, etc. Furthermore, there are moral questions, like is it wrong to drive more aggressively if you're driving a dying person to a hospital? What about if you're late for a meeting of life and death importance? There's literally no way to codify all of the different situations, so we settled on a handful of very objective road rules which we broadly define as 'safe' driving, and punish people for violating them. As a nod to the complexity of the problem, we empower police officers with some latitude to make judgement calls based on the situation. But even they can't possibly know all of the variables necessary to make a perfect decision. So it's possible for someone who was doing the right thing to still be penalized by the system. The details of morality are leaking around the abstraction of our driving laws.\n\nBack to the original point, the laws around enforcing equality for women are abstractions of the real goal, which is eliminating sexism entirely. Like any abstraction, they leak, and thus good people doing good things are penalized by an imperfect system.\n\nIn the most charitable light, MR is about improving our abstractions to minimize the leaks, thus preventing unnecessary harm from coming to good people - and that is a laudable goal.\n\nIn a less charitable light, MR is about proving that the abstraction isn't worth the price, and eliminating it - throwing the baby out with the proverbial bath water.\n\nMany obviously choose to take the less charitable view, arguing that some discomfort for men is a small price to pay for creating a society that's better for women, and viewing MR advocates not as good people fighting for equality, but as sexist elitists trying to pull the scaffolding out from under the feminist movement. And to be honest, I'd say the MR movement is big enough that there's a good mix of both in there. It's hard to ascribe properties to a movement as disorganized as MR.\n\nThat being said, I do take issue with the repeated assertion that feminism is about equal rights for everybody. That may be true in a philosophical sense, but in practical terms feminism has ~~never~~ rarely been concerned with the rights of men. It has always been a movement to improve the lives, opportunities, and social mobility of females who are (correctly, I believe) presumed to be disadvantaged in society. It is, effectively, a war on the status quo. Like any war, the weapons used are imperfect and often unpleasant. The hope is, much like chemotherapy, the process will kill the disease before it kills the host, but to pretend there's no collateral damage is dismissive and ignorant. Unfortunately, most feminists are unwilling to admit that feminism might come at a price for some men, fearing that it would weaken their position. This, combined with a politically correct society that believes criticism of feminism's methods is tantamount to criticism of equality for women has resulted in a silencing of the men who feel they have been unfairly punished for the actions of others. And the collective anger which this has generated was the genesis of the Men's Rights movement.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_qaw8u", "post_id": "qaw8u", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/qa9so/rmensrights_mod_quite_frankly_the_prominence_of/c3w0dtc?context=2", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/qaw8u/cokeisahelluvadrug_explains_the_mens_rights/", "post_created_utc": 1330492235, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c3w6219", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c3w6219", "answer_score": 288, "answer_created_utc": 1330504831}}

If you did everything right you should get a happy ending, that would be the logical culmination to the choice system of the game. What was the point of doing your best in the game if the ending doesn't reflect it? Mass Effect 2 was perfect there: doing everything right gave you the best ending, putting less effort into it gives you progressively less good ending. You can even see it in ME3 if you imported ME2 save: if you made the right (good) choices in ME2 many many situations in ME3 have a better outcome. But at the end of ME3 the game loses it's way and what you did in ME3 let alone ME2 and ME1 has no influence on the ending. Why did we drag our saves from game to game to have them not matter at the end?

I get that he is using hyperbole. However, when making a claim about the scale of a problem, it is useful not to exaggerate the size of the problem.\n\n> The banality of evil transmutes into the banality of sentimentality. The world is nothing but a problem to be solved by enthusiasm.\n\nAwareness of an issue is useful when the issue has heretofore been unknown. People knowing and caring about a matter is not a sufficient condition for the problem being solved, but it is a necessary condition.\n\n Also, the connection of the banality of evil to the banality of sentimentality is tenuous. The banality of evil is the idea that evil people are boringly normal. They are often not fanatics or sociopaths, but rather by ordinary people. Is Teju Cole saying that sentimental people are boringly normal? If he was, the analogy would be more apt, but this would make no sense as a thing to say.\n\n> \"The White Savior Industrial Complex is not about justice. It is about having a big emotional experience that validates privilege.\"\n\nThis quote is just racist. If I want to help some white people it can be about justice.

{"question_title": "Excellent AskScience commenting duo on the current state of AI", "body": "I always thought that a good AI design would just be a net of actions and results. It sends a signal for its wheels to rotate counter clockwise => it moves forward. The central AI would just be deciding what result it wanted and it would try to make a pathway of actions to get there.  After every action it would update its net, refining what exactly happens after every action, associating results with initial conditions, and make correlations. If would have to have *desire*. Like getting fuel = good. Damage = bad. If you want it to play chess you have to make it *want* to play chess. And then reward it when it wins. When it's not actively trying to achieve a goal, it's going over its net of memories and finding correlations, making predictions about actions based on similar actions and conditions. Trying to figure out how to achieve happiness. Similar to your subconscious.\n\nOf course, the problem is that \"net\" of actions and results would need 10^24 of moving parts to record its environment before, during, and after every action. The algorithm to correlate starting and ending conditions would probably be impossibly complex. When the robot turns its wheels clockwise and it moves forward, how will it know it's moving forward based on its sense of the environment? Even if the algorithm *does* work, it'll probably take way too long for any substantial learning to occur.\n\nI hypothesize, however, that given a fast enough processor, a large enough storage space, and a good enough algorithm, given enough time, such a machine could exhibit \"human intelligence.\" You might even say it *is* intelligent, and not just a Chinese Room, since it's dynamically changing its behavior based on its environment.

Rino Rappuoli (vaccine god) says you can make a vaccine for ANY infectious disease, but the ones that are left are the scientifically complex ones. \n\n*Chlamlydia* is an intercellular pathogen. Like TB, malaria, HIV. These are the hard ones (TB's vaccine BCG is crappy, and would NEVER get a license today).\n\nThe days of Big Pharma rolling in money are gone, they're still mega-rich, but not the way they were. And that will continue (lack of block-busters in the pipeline, longer development times for clinical trials means less profit as it cuts into your patent life, etc.) which means that Big Pharma is investing LATER in discoveries. So, there's LOTS of *Chlamydia* ventures going on but the money isn't like it would be if this was the 80's or even the 90's. \n\nVaccines have been seen as a low profit product. That's changed a bit now, but also consolidation means there's 4 vaccine companies now that has more than 80% of the developed world market. \n\n*Chlamydia* is a STI, but now with the success of a HPV vaccine it looks far more \"sellable\" to the general public (indeed, it would piggy back off the same vaccine schedule). The 1 billion+ in annual revenue for HPV means that now there's a lot of start-ups BUT I doubt anyone is reading this, and even if you were, would you remember the first point? It's friggin complex. *Chlamydia* is a tricky bug. So, now there's some very smart people working on a *Chlmaydia* vaccine, but they lack experience to know its specific tricky traits.\n\nThe time line for vaccine development is 10 years plus. There's NOTHING in the pipeline for Clinical Trials for Chlamydia, and hasn't been since the 1950's. Which were a wreck, so much so (hypersensitive after vaccination), that non-human primates will likely be a requirement of any FDA IND submission, because of the danger to human health. Nobody wants to do non-human primate studies, they'll add another two years (GMP production, CGP facility) and US$3-4 million to costs (the two years of extra trials is two years of lost sales, as it cuts into the patent protection against generics, which could be billions of lost revenue). So, we're a longggg way off still from any vaccine.\n\nAnyway, I doubt anyone has read this, but that's some of the highlights!\nFeel free to ask me anything or vote me down!", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_rkhbb", "post_id": "rkhbb", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/rjz9o/why_cant_we_vaccinate_for_stds/c46grkl?context=2", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/rkhbb/interesting_information_about_chlamydia_and_why/", "post_created_utc": 1333082750, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c47dl62", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c47dl62", "answer_score": 4, "answer_created_utc": 1333314163}}

{"question_title": "Irishness:  American perception vs. reality", "body": "What makes this post even more interesting is that it can apply to the development of cultural identity for most second or third generation immigrants. As an Italian-Canadian I can confirm that there is a large disconnect between the culturally \"Italian\" things that people identify with here and the realities of Italian culture. \n\nAnother interesting phenomena that contributes to this disconnect, is the changes that occur in the homeland that are not mirrored here. The countries that our parents and grandparents originated from has changed from the country that they left behind. They hold onto those traditions and ideals that were prevalent when they were growing up (as arguably any older person does), which gets passed on to the younger generation. The country of their origin modernizes and ideals change, but since many of these immigrants cannot afford to go back regularly they lose that connection with their homeland and hold onto the ideals and traditions that they know. The younger generation is raised under the old school version of the culture, and many modernizing factors are easily written off as part of the culture of their new home, considered not \"Italian\".

My friend was driving and switching lanes in the winter. The roads were pretty clear, but he was driving a beater he just bought and to save gas we took his car (He wanted to try it out, and I was tired of being the one driving all the time).\n\nWell as he switched lanes I noticed that the car just kept going right, it didn't straighten out. As we headed for the side of the road I knew something was wrong. Everything became so clear and vivid but at the same time no new information was being processed.\n\nWe hit a ditch and flipped three times before landing on the roof. Once the car landed on the roof the only thing I remember is the windshield breaking and a rush of snow coming in as we slid on the roof. \n\nCold and covered in snow and glass (I couldn't tell them apart in the chaos) I hurried to unbuckle my seat belt because the first thought that came to mind upon stopping was the roof caving in and trapping us in the cold dark ditch. We were in North Dakota and with so few people, and even less viability it would have been at least morning till we were found.\n\nA very rational fear washed over me, I've only had this fear a few other times in my life and only in the most dangerous of situations. I unbuckled my belt very fast and climbed out of my window, all while my scared friend was trying to rush me out of the window so he could escape the wreck also. Once out of the window we flagged down help.\n\nDeath didn't scare me until I realized that it could be very slow, very cold, and very closed in. As the actual crash happened I think I felt relieved almost like I wanted it to happy.

The OP seems to have a firm handle on a few details of physiology but is interpreting the process as a whole in a fundamentally flawed way.  The worst part about this kind of misinformation is that it sounds really impressive to laypeople who will take it as gospel.  Unfortunately this kind of conjecture is rampant in exercise physiology and sports medicine.\n\nThe perception of being fatigued, ie hitting 'the wall', is almost entirely a psychological phenomenon unrelated to whichever energy source your body is using to power your muscles.  A sprinter's performance has more to do with the proportion of fast-twitch muscle fibers than enzymes.  There really isn't any effective strategy to 'burn' more fat versus carbohydrate from a given exercise.  The human body is a complex system with buffers and conversion between different energy stores happening all the time.  Trying to pick a handful of pathways from this whole process is ridiculous.  When people start talking about the citric acid cycle, the electron transport chain, NADH, acetyl-coa, ATP, etc they're missing the forest for the trees.\n\nAbout the only correct parts of that post were that the brain relies almost completely on glucose for energy and that it is much easier to simply not eat calories in the first place than it is to work them off.  If you want to be healthy, you have to have a balanced, nutritious diet with frequent, moderate exercise.  If you want to train/build muscle mass then short, high-intensity workouts are the most time-efficient way of doing so. If you want to be a better sprinter you have to focus on technique, getting out of the starting blocks, and weight training for your legs.  If you want to be a better endurance runner you just have to get out there and run.

{"question_title": "Clumpy talks about why talking about the state of race in America is a difficult issue to honestly discuss.", "body": "I accessed link no problem, great post.\n\nHere's the text (without the original formatting):\n\nI can't say that it's a good thing, but it is difficult for many reasons. In fact, it's such a loaded topic that I'm surprised we can get as far as we do:\n\nThe history of racial violence and institutionalized prejudice in America. Emmett Till, thousands upon thousands of lynchings, the treatment of the Scottsboro boys, the zoot suit riots, and a very long period of legislation, neighborhood planning and private machinations specifically designed to keep minorities down. Minorities would be paid inferior wages for the same work, could not depend upon a fair trial, and had to step carefully to avoid any altercations with bigots or even the merest hint of wrongdoing because they could not depend on ever receiving the benefit of a doubt, and would receive grossly disproportionate sentencing and inferior representation and procedural rigor in court for the same suspected crimes.\n\nModern discrimination. I hope we've made some advances here, but I'm not in a position to really comment. There is some evidence that the racial component of economic inequality is starting to lose some statistical association in favor of more of a class-based thing, but tell that to poor people living in substandard housing and neighborhoods. Hispanics have it particularly bad because the \"illegal\" label, whether applicable or merely a suspicion, hangs like a pall over low-income people from Mexico, as well as Central and South America. The legal component allows this discrimination to have a legal backing, and that's unfortunate. Witness the recent laws several states have attempted to pass essentially formalizing second-class citizenry for Hispanics in terms of police treatment, and the misconceptions and fears you hear all over the news for this red herring issue. Something like 25% of Americans want to deport all undocumented immigrants immediately.\n\nThe fact that dominant groups see even small cessations of power as huge compromises. Every generation of men thinks that they're the first to change a diaper. Many Caucasians have an idea that they're being downtrodden just because of the mere possibility that a minority might benefit from affirmative action and get some position that they would have gotten otherwise. Many people think that talking about racism is silly because a black family moved into their neighborhood, or we have black people in Congress and a black president now. (See? Everything is equal now!) Dominant groups see domination as the status quo and view any small step away as oppression. Hence tensions run high.\n\nPerceived discrimination. As a generic-looking white male living in a predominately white area, I think I can state with some confidence that I have rarely faced discrimination because of my race or sex, or indeed faced discrimination from anything other than perhaps looking like a bit of a nerd. But there are times every day when I wonder if somebody gave me the skunkeye, or a girl gave me a suspicious or cold look while I was jogging in the early morning and running past her, or I received rude treatment from a stranger. I can't even imagine being a minority, and having to decide whether somebody just crossed to the other side of the road because they were nearing their destination or because of me, or whether a sales clerk was just a little too persistent in asking whether he could help with anything because he wanted to scope me out as a potential shoplifter. Again, I can't possibly attempt to state what proportion of bad treatment might be discriminatory for given people and what proportion is just people being people (or just perfectly innocent misunderstandings! Not everybody smiles at people as they walk by), but I don't have the cognitive weight to carry I describe above.\n\nSelective reasoning. People have this idea that the media is \"liberal,\" \"conservative,\" biased this way or that way, whatever. Generally because you believe what you do, you see any deviation from that belief as bias in the other direction. If you happened to see the Trayvon Martin story, and then you read about a story of black-on-white violence, you might wonder \"Why wasn't this story covered? Why are only the white crimes covered?\" Well, the other story probably was covered at the time, though you didn't notice it because it didn't set off your mental filters. News and talk programs are likely to feature black perpetrators and stories which reinforce stereotypes of blacks as primarily poor and uneducated, though many people have this impression that the media caters toward blacks and demeans whites (see the bit about dominant groups above).\n\nAnyway, just some of my reasoning. This is an area which preys off of all of our mental biases, paranoias, prejudices and fears as a species, and it's hard to just overturn that, even if individual people are willing to give things the benefit of a doubt.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_s62gb", "post_id": "s62gb", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAskReddit/comments/s5kcj/why_is_it_impossible_to_have_a_serious_pcfree/c4b9dg1", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/s62gb/clumpy_talks_about_why_talking_about_the_state_of/", "post_created_utc": 1334233970, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c4bdxq8", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c4bdxq8", "answer_score": 3, "answer_created_utc": 1334238830}}

North Koreans, mostly urban population have access to many South Korean movies, TV shows.

I am talking about rural population that lives outside industrial cities. City population is more or less fed. In 1990's, during famine, country's infrastructure collapsed and that had one effect that made the regime survive: Rural populations became isolated as they lost contact with rest of country during hard times. They became communes that barely survive. They can not communicate with others. This makes any kind of rising against government really isolated and uncoordinated. \n\nThis is what China is doing with many many riots they are having. China is doing its best to prevent any kind of coordination. They isolate all of riots all over country. Difference is, China is much more prosperous and have better infrastructure and the act of decentralization and isolation of social uprising is intentional. In North Korea, it is not intentional, it happens out of extreme poverty. So, all North Korea has to do is watch over urban population, and keep them loyal.

{"question_title": "How did the universe come from nothing?", "body": "orig: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/s9lv2/reddit_what_is_a_concept_that_despite_all/c4ca1lx\n\nWell, first of all it is important to establish what \"nothing\" actually is.\nThe classical idea of nothing is exactly that, no-thing.\nIs the nothing described by physics.\nWhat has been discovered, relatively recently, has thrown the idea of nothing out of the window. Nothing1 by its very definition cannot exist.\nInstead, what physicists have discovered is that nothing is not nothing1 at all. If you remove all the matter from a jar; all the radiation, all the atoms, leave it empty; a vaccuum, what they've discovered is that this emptiness actually weighs something. What was currently thought of as no-thing not only is something, it has weight. Not only that, it contains energy. Most of the energy in the universe resides in this emptiness we call nothing!\nThe universe did originate from nothing, it just isn't the type of nothing we grew up learning about. This nothing2 not only has energy, but it can produce what are called virtual particles that literally pop into existence out of, well, nothing.\nBut how can something come from nothing? It goes against everything we knew to be true. It violates the laws of thermodynamics for one thing since energy cannot be created or destroyed. But there is a neat little trick that quantum mechanics allow. It doesn't violate these laws as long as they appear and then annhilate each other quickly enough, and when I say quickly enough I mean in unimaginably short time spans\nmikeet9's explanation was inelegant, but I will try to clarify it.\nAll the matter in the universe acts as positive energy (1); gravity acts as negative energy (-1). When we go far enough back in time to the instance of the Big Bang, they essentially cancel each other out, and for such an epic, mind boggling concept the mathematics for it is disarmingly simple.\n1 + -1 = 0\nAnd thus a universe can come from nothing.\neditted", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_sa1t3", "post_id": "sa1t3", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/s9lv2/reddit_what_is_a_concept_that_despite_all/c4ca1lx", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/sa1t3/how_did_the_universe_come_from_nothing/", "post_created_utc": 1334442958, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c4chmru", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c4chmru", "answer_score": 5, "answer_created_utc": 1334492026}}

Your grandmother, on the other hand, is getting old and make sandwiches as quickly as your mother. She can make enough sandwiches or fruit salad for only 16 people in the allotted amount of time. If both split their time evenly between the two activities, your mother will be able to make 15 sandwiches and 8 fruits salads; meanwhile, your grandmother will have made 8 fruit salad and 8 sandwiches. Thus, if they split their time evenly between the two activities, they would together make 23 sandwiches and 16 fruit salads.\n\n> If, instead, your mother would focus on sandwiches, at which she is better than your grandmother, while your grandmother focuses on the fruit salads, they would end up with 30 sandwiches and 16 fruit salads. That's a greater total than if they split evenly. By each focusing on what they are best at, they made more than by working alone.\n\nLet's say a sandwich is worth 2$, and a fruit salad 1$.\nIn the first situation, the mother produces 15x2 + 8x1 = 38$, while the grandmother produces 8x2 + 8x1 = 24$. The total produced is 62$.\n\nIn the second situation, the mother produces 30x2 = 60$, while the grandmother produces 16 x 1 = 16$.  The total produced is 76$, but the grandmother lost 8$ of production in the process, and the mother gained 22$.\n\nThat's why free trade in a vacuum isn't the greatest thing in the world, you need to make more hypothesis. \n\nTaking still the same example, what might happen is that the mother might end up buying all her grandmother production share and strip her naked of her resources (or trying, because the agreement between the two will obviously cease before that happen). This, in the longterm, would be prejudicial to both parties, but in a short-term reasoning it might be the quickest way to make a buck for the mother.\n\nNow of course, this doesn't give us enough information, and this example become quickly limited, because you need to know about how they'll invest their money, how quickly they can grow, and how much room there is for growth on both sides.\n\nFree trade is a great thing between two countries who want to help each other and are not that afar in term of wealth.

{"question_title": "watchoutacat asks r/philosophy: How to talk to someone encountering the \"I will not exist after death.\" realization.", "body": "We really shouldn't feel ashamed about our fear of death. It is completely normal and sensible in light of our consciousness.\n\nThere is a thought experiment that I like to do when I get that anxious feeling about death. Think about if you lived for billions of years. At some point, you will have experienced nearly everything and may very well know everything about the Universe. Eventually, if you extended life long enough, would the experience of life lose its thrill? Sure, maybe not after a few billion years. But, ignoring the heat death of the Universe, what about a few trillion of years? The central aspect to our experience of life is novelty. You LEARN new things in school, you HAVE your own family and maybe even children, you WORK to accrue a lifestyle that allows you to fund stimulating hobbies and ventures to new locales. You READ new books, MEET new friends, WATCH new shows. It is all about novelty; anything that is truly repetitive becomes boring quickly. Depression is often linked to more \"mundane\" life routines. Confinement from new sensory experiences can lead to psychosis (solitary confinement, anyone?).\n\nAt some point in the future, if I were to live as long as I wanted, death would allow for the last escape. It would allow for the end to the long, exciting but eventually overly-familiar experience of life. So sure, life might be too short. But at some point death remains our due.\n\nOur brains are unique in that they allow a coherent, memory-based experience of otherwise meaningless physical processes. It is quite the gift to be able to have this chance to perceive and understand this vast Universe as more than just a mechanical description of particles colliding, combining and splitting through space-time. We get to breathe, think, and *feel*.The cost of that is eventual non-existence...the same fate that likely awaits every single bit of organized matter in our Universe...but we get the benefit of living and experiencing that instead of just *being* it. I'll take that trade-off any day.\n\nI will have to say that this adds value to life. If you take these same thoughts that you are having about the importance of your own existence and extrapolate them to other conscious individuals, you realize a basic tenet of humanism. \"Everyone is the main character in their story\". Only we, as conscious, living beings, can help improve the experience of other intelligent life. Could you imagine now, sitting behind your computer or laptop or phone on the internet, if all of your experience had been poverty and starvation? Your experience would lose its glamour and might even approach an existence *not worth living*. Before you reject that statement off-hand, Sam Harris in *The Moral Landscape* frequently uses the example of the \"terrible\" existence of the most horrifying cases of parent-child rape. Some of the worst ones involve the father tying the child in the basement for years, never letting them leave or even speak to anyone else. Do those children ever get a life truly \"worth\" living?\n\nThis series of thoughts is how I went from a apathetic, carefree Christian (\"God will make it better for everyone in the end\") to a passionate advocate for humanism and social justice. If I get to experience this life with such wonder, privilege and vigor such that I can even have a discussion like this, I better do all I can to help as many people as possible be able to enjoy this one chance we all have.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_si2rf", "post_id": "si2rf", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/philosophy/comments/sgxf7/how_to_talk_to_someone_encountering_the_i_will/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/si2rf/watchoutacat_asks_rphilosophy_how_to_talk_to/", "post_created_utc": 1334855624, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c4ejugf", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c4ejugf", "answer_score": 5, "answer_created_utc": 1334932403}}

{"question_title": "soccernamlak explains North Carolina's proposed Amendment One", "body": "I think this raises interesting questions of jurisprudence, state's rights, and ultimately the nature of a nation formed from \"united states\". To a certain degree, all 50 states have the same amount of judicial/legislative power in that, barring federal law which trumps state law, they are basically free to govern themselves. In other words, no state needs to recognize the \"sovereignty\" of another state, only that of the federal government. (hypothetically, this is certainly not always the case, as evinced by the judicial uproar over obamacare)\n\nIf this amendment is passed in NC, it will basically be NC disavowing the laws of other states and, more importantly, the rights of the citizens of those states when in NC.\n\nOur model of States rights vs Federal Law seems grossly outdated and incoherent to me. It might have served when America was thirteen colonies with a (relative to today) tiny population, but it hardly seems fitting that each of the individual 50 states should be able to act independently and not observe the laws of the other 49, in a country with a population of 300+ million people. I do not think of myself as one from New York State, I think of myself as an American and I'd expect the rights I enjoy in my own personal state to be ubiquitous throughout the country.\n\nI think this amendment, if passed, warrants response from the federal government. A basic idea, one which would preserve the unity of the country but also keep states rights completely intact, would be for the federal government to issue a mandate that any citizens of a state should enjoy the rights according to the laws of their own state, as opposed to the laws of whichever state they happen to be in.

{"question_title": "Redditor Mattpointgrat gives the reasoning behind American Revolutionary War era tactics.", "body": "But the linked comment is wrong.  It WASN'T more effective to stand out in ranks in the open.\n\nThis will be very short, on a long subject, but here goes: prior to effective firearms, yes, infantry stayed in groups so that it wouldn't be picked off and run down by cavalry.  See cavalry coming, hold up your spears, cavalry stays away.\n\nThe \"lines\" of musketeers were developed to compensate for the slow rate of fire/loading of those weapons, and also to spread the troops out a bit so that cannons wouldn't beat them up so badly (most artillery was nonexplosive, so think of cannon balls as carving lines of death through the enemy ranks - better to be standing just three deep than ten deep).\n\nHowever, firearms were developing.  The rifle was just coming into use.  Breech loading weapons were also coming into use.  What this meant was that the firearm was now the greatest threat on the battlefield - horses were screwed (being rather large targets), and it was now best to spend a lot of time hiding from the enemy's firearms rather than grouping together to avoid the enemy's cavalry.  Cavalry was still used, but largely for scouting and in situations where it wouldn't have to charge a lot of guys with guns.\n\nThis has progressed to the modern day, where soldiers spend a lot of time lying on the ground and well apart from each other.\n\nBut back to the Revolutionary War - the nascent U.S. tried standup fighting, and it mostly came out poorly for them.  George Washington almost lost the war in 1776 trying old-school fighting against the British and getting beaten at it.  And so they largely switched to guerrilla tactics, hit-and-run, nighttime raids.  All of these proved much more effective than stand up fighting against the British.\n\nTwo reasons for U.S. win:\n\n-- guerrilla tactics\n\n-- British also fighting against Spain, France, Dutch and everyone else they could start a war with\n\nOf those, the second is more important.

Fans would argue that against the backdrop of currently aired cartoons MLP indeed stands out in terms of animation, voice acting, sound design, art direction, consistency, maturity of themes and message.

The parent irrationally denies that an emergency was happening, meaning the touch couldn't have been to save the kid.

{"question_title": "trovocation and joeflux discuss relationship between logic and religious belief", "body": "A good debate, but I find trovocation's logic flawed. He is basically saying that because religion can not be immediately disproved by empirical evidence, it should be taken seriously. \n\nNot to say that religion should not be taken seriously, but the burden of proof lies on the proposition - if you say that Jesus died for our sins and subsequently rose from the dead, you have to give some logical reason (read: free of fallacy) for your belief in order for it to be considered at the same level of even the most simple scientific concepts. \n\nIn my experience, most religious people back themselves up with some assertion like \"science can't prove God does not exist. I believe God exists, therefore he does until proven otherwise\".  \n\nI also believe that logic and reasoning are two different things, and that the mix up of definitions was part of the reason the debate started. In my eyes, logic is the process of paring down assertions and data until you find a solution that -must- be true in a certain set of circumstances, like solving a math problem. Reasoning, on the other hand, is finding the best possible answer with the information at hand. Both are necessary but they are not the same - sometimes the best answer is not logical, but is simply the best guess available.\n\nIf more religious debates were less about people's end result and more focused on the logic and subsequent reasoning they used to get there, I think more people would have a much clearer picture with which they can decide the best conclusion for themselves.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_szw2u", "post_id": "szw2u", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/philosophy/comments/syz4g/analytic_thinking_decreases_religious_belief_new/c4i9tp8", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/szw2u/trovocation_and_joeflux_discuss_relationship/", "post_created_utc": 1335802027, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c4id64u", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c4id64u", "answer_score": 23, "answer_created_utc": 1335804411}}

{"question_title": "eggplnt on \"How Beethoven changed music history with a single C# (sort of).\"", "body": "Interesting take on it, but I'd say there are other things about the opening movement of the third symphony that stand out as more revolutionary: [these really sharp dissonances](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sBABTZuL44&t=7m57s) and [this false recapitulation](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sBABTZuL44&t=10m11s) spring to mind immediately. We have a tendency to fetishize certain moments in classical music because nowadays we can really only look at it as history, not as something that's constantly progressing.\n\nAn equally big deal was made about Beethoven's late addition of the opening measure to the slow movement of his [Hammerklavier piano sonata](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Sonata_No._29_(Beethoven)). Unfortunately, I can't find an internet source for this, but I've read about it in two biographies and a book on performing the sonatas. The story is, basically, that Beethoven sent to his publisher, at the last possible minute, the opening bar of the sonata's slow movement, which consists of two notes that simply lead into what is now the second measure of the piece. Even back then his publisher thought it completely changed the movement, and Beethoven scholars seem to agree wholeheartedly on that now (probably influenced by the publisher's opinions). Honestly? It's a non-melodic two-note lead-in to a *twenty-minute* slow movement that is, in its own right, a wonderful panoply of early Romantic-era composition techniques. Removing it doesn't really change anything drastic.\n\nI will give him credit on the development section being a big deal -- Beethoven did a lot to revolutionize the development in classical sonata form. Traditionally (listen to pretty much anything in sonata form by Haydn or Mozart), the development is brief (~4-16 measures) and serves only as a means to separate the exposition and recapitulation and to modulate back to the tonic key. Beethoven's developments often became the largest sections of his movements, which was unheard of. They served less and less as traditional material and more as an emotional core, and (this is just me postulating here) this may have been the crux of deep harmonic exploration really taking off post-Beethoven. It may be the reason I recognize Beethoven as the greatest composer ever to have lived, even if he's not my personal favorite. It's hard for me to enjoy pre-Beethoven music, because it all seems so...bland, by comparison.\n\nI realize this is jargony as fuck, so here's [the Wikipedia article about sonata form](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonata_form); hopefully that helps someone.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_t8cu6", "post_id": "t8cu6", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/classicalmusic/comments/t78hf/how_beethoven_changed_music_history_with_a_single/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/t8cu6/eggplnt_on_how_beethoven_changed_music_history/", "post_created_utc": 1336228440, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c4kj47y", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c4kj47y", "answer_score": 7, "answer_created_utc": 1336257823}}

{"question_title": "Cenodoxus gives a reality check on wind power", "body": "I'm surprised that post got such a rapturous response. To me, it is an exercise in throwing out arguments and seeing what sticks. It reminds me of that idea of [one-way hash arguments](http://lukenotricks.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/one-way-hash-arguments.html); easy to make, but difficult to refute. But I'll do my best to run through the points:\n\n> The Guardian is a publication with a leftist bias on the world, and they have a long, ugly history of not looking too closely at the \"right\" side of an argument\n\nThe Guardian is very far from being a perfect media organization, and certainly has a bias, as any newspaper does. Whether it is fair to characterize it as having \"a long, ugly history...\" is another matter. The Guardian is qualitatively different from other newspapers in Britain for a couple of reasons. It is owned and run by a charitable trust, and so has no issues of corporate bias or influence. That compares with The Times, partially owned and run by Murdoch, and the Telegraph, owned by the rather shady, dubious [Barclay brothers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_and_Frederick_Barclay#Channel_Island_of_Brecqhou) (they built themselves [a mock castle on a private island in the middle of the English channel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brecqhou_-_Barclay_Brothers_Castle.jpg), for heaven's sake). \n\nThe Guardian is also less tied to a particular party than most other newspapers. In the last election it endorsed the centrist Lib Dems, although it has a history of supporting the more left-wing Labour party. The Telegraph, in comparison, always supports the Conservative party.\n\nI should also point out The Guardian's chief environmental writer, George Monbiot, is well-known for supporting nuclear power, against more utopian greens who propose we should concentrate on wind, solar, tidal etc. Some would accuse them of being unduly biased against wind power.\n\n> Wind power is not a panacea to our energy needs, and it shouldn't be so heavily advertised as if it is:\n\nVery few people suggest that it is. Usually when people discuss wind power they talk about having a mix of energy sources.\n\n> Building wind farms creates its own set of environmental issues:\n\nThat is a valid point. \n\n> Even places that get lots of wind can be incredibly bad locations for wind farms:\n\nThat's a matter for the commercial developer. Anybody who builds a power station can cock up. In Britain Dunguness Nuclear Power station [was built on the wrong side of a shingle beach](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0378383995000356), which turned out to be eroding at 1.5m a year, so that now it has to be shored up by using lorries to shift tens of thousands of cubic metres of shingle each year from one side of the beach to the other. This is all very amusing, but it is not an argument against nuclear power.\n\n> The use of eminent domain to build wind farms disproportionately affects the poor:\n\nThat is a legitimate point, but it is a legitimate point which could me made about any development. And it smacks of a sort of counter-intuitive 'won't someone apart from the super-wealthy industrialists please think of the poor' argument. Like when the astroturfed tea party say that they want to cut taxes because money is being taken away from hard-working, poor families which they could use to support themselves (when, of course, poor families are the beneficiaries of services paid for with taxation, and the well-off the ones who actually fund them in aggregate).\n\n> Wind power is not necessarily cheaper than most means of energy production / Your energy bill will not necessarily get smaller\n\nIs that something we're actually supposed to expect from wind power? It would be astonishing if we could replace such a concentrated, plentiful, fortuitous, and highly-scaled energy source as fossil fuels with an alternative which is better in every way: not only without the emissions, but unquenchable/renewable, and cheaper as well, even before wide-spread deployment. Nevertheless, as an aggregate source of electricity, it is thought to be competitive, or even cheaper than many conventional sources: [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source#cite_ref-AEO2011_13-0) are estimates for the US in 2016, [here](https://imgur.com/a/FvYJg#0) for Britain in 2009 and 2023.\n\n> Living close to them isn't necessarily fun\n\nWell, that's vague.\n\nFinally, the astonishing thing is that after all of that, the post doesn't even mention absolutely the most significant problem with wind power, which is its intermittency.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_tj0qd", "post_id": "tj0qd", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/ti1r2/conservative_thinktanks_launch_campaign_to_turn/c4muhlq", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/tj0qd/cenodoxus_gives_a_reality_check_on_wind_power/", "post_created_utc": 1336783189, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c4n517o", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c4n517o", "answer_score": 4, "answer_created_utc": 1336815649}}

{"question_title": "igormorais explains the ideological battle between The Joker and The Batman, and why neither can kill the other.", "body": "I'm a little skeptical of whether this whole analysis is consistent, at least as far as the comic writers are concerned (I'm assuming igormorais is correct in interpreting the greater story behind the comics).  The catch that the two characters can't kill each other seems more a stipulation grown out of convenience to keep this perpetual storyline going without having to resolve it.  It's the same routine as the roadrunner vs. wile e coyote just dressed up in this artificial morality play. \n\n\nIf the joker embodies an unjust, random world then certainly the most unjust, random event would be for Batman, the embodiment of justice, to be killed in a meaningless crime and not some grand overture of self-defeat.  igormorais says that the joker can't kill the Batman because he needs to prove to the world that even Batman is fallible?  That sounds an awful lot like a moral code of its own.  Wouldn't the whole point be made clearer if the joker was free from any restriction while Batman is forced to adhere to his code?  That's the most glaring inconsistency of the whole setup.  \n\n\nThis theory also assumes that capital punishment is somehow not within the boundaries of justice, which seems an arbitrary distinction given the nature of the crimes the joker and other villains commit.  The fact that Arkham Asylum is as secure as a wet cardboard box illustrates the absurdity of the universe that is needed in order to keep their battles going.  If we're going on the assumption that the joker is clinically insane, then one would think that he needs to be put down to prevent him from causing harm to others when no safe alternative exists.  That would be the humane action for Batman to take in a just world, not to keep leaving the fate of innocent victims hanging in the balance just to stroke his own ego over this contrived inner conflict.  And who's to say that the police in Gotham couldn't kill the joker?  They certainly don't seem to have any qualms about killing other criminals when the situation calls for it.\n\n\nThe hardest part for me to understand is that somehow the actions of joker or Batman reflect the rest of that universe.  If the world were truly random and unjust then the joker wouldn't have to be constantly scheming to make it so.  Likewise for Batman- if the world were just they wouldn't need him at all going around outside the confines of the law to bring order to a corrupt system.  Both of their ideologies rely on them doing anything and everything to bring events right up to this artificial line to see who will cross it, but at that point the line really is meaningless.  Would it really destroy Batman forever or nullify all of his actions just because he failed one time in this one very specific way?  Would it actually matter to the joker at all if Batman was the one righteous person in the world that couldn't be broken?

{"question_title": "[MOD / Meta] Let's talk about the DH rules - A.K.A. \"The report button is not a 'Super Downvote'.\"", "body": "I've been vocal recently about post quality, mostly in an attempt at devil's advocate in order to keep DH from falling into the same hole of upvoting posts based on title alone that many other popular subreddits fall into. Beating the drum early and loudly, I hope, gets people thinking about exactly the things you cover in this post: content and what to do about it. \n\nMy understanding is that DH is meant to follow the original reddit ideals of downmodding things that don't belong and letting the community be the content gate-keepers with mods on board to eliminate spam. I think this is something that *can* work, but it requires a dedicated core userbase, and relies on constant reminders about the function of the up and down arrows, especially in light of how they are treated throughout the rest of the website. \n\nI find this a very difficult task to accomplish without mod assistance. A more \"official\" group of users can do things such as edit the top of the page and sidebar with points and guidelines that cover quality and behavior. I'm not a fan of flair, but link flair can become useful for marking posts that have questionable content. And, of course, truly low-quality material can be removed outright.\n\nWith that said, I am quite aware of the pitfalls of such a strategy, quality and content are subjective things, and I understand well the aversion people have to giving full content control to a small group of users (there are no demi-mods, you either have the power or you don't).

If I can't go through and find the broken rule, I [approve].  So I end up re-reading a lot of submissions.  I'm on four times now for a recent one - once when it was posted, and once per report.  \n\nI keep hitting \"approve\" every time, too, because I still can't find where they broke a rule.  \n\nI see a lot of complaints in the comments, and I see the same in a number of the reported posts I've approved recently.

The part about beings gods; splitting into two mean/kind versions each disguising itself as the other sometimes; missing the company of them even the bad one and so on. He literally just stuck himself in place of Lain and experienced the same thing she does in the anime verbatim.  Neurobiological disorders do not work that way. Rarely (and I mean very rarely) will a patient hallucinate something that so closely resembles something they have experienced previously in such a manner. Hallucinations are much more random and less cool than that. I have worked with a patient (as an intern in my undergrad) that thought Daffy Duck (from Bugs Bunny) was always telling him to hurt people. He never hurt anyone but Daffy Duck would still egg him on. The neurologists said that this case was in the top teir of extreme hallucinations and rarely will someone hallucinate something as developed as a cartoon character at all. For this guy to have not only hallucinated Lain, but to have also hallucinated the entire plot of a compelling and complex anime seems to be questionable. \n\nHe never said how old he was when this was happening, but if he was riding a bus, he was probably a underclassman in high school I would assume or junior high. This is too early in life for Schizophrenia to onset to such a degree. It usually is only in its beginning stages at ages 17-21 or so. The symptoms sound like Dementia, but dementia is not reversible so he would not have outgrown it.\n\nI thought it was rather funny or poignant that he said hello to a Lain poster.

Blindly reprinting someone else's work is not insightful. Second, the information in the post is gobsmackingly, arrogantly misleading. Does anyone honestly believe that specialists who work extensively with the lexicon (e.g., linguists who deal with the processes behind words and word formation or lexicographers who have to create dictionaries) haven't thought about these issues? Seriously, this is basically an Intro to Linguistics assignment: here are some datasets from 3 languages; use the principles we've learned to say how many distinct words are in each language's dataset. At the moment I have far better things to do than give a detailed rebuttal, but quickly: no, different inflectional morphemes don't make new words, but derivational ones often do (so establish is a word, establishes is not a new word, and establishment is a new word). Compounds? Some count as new, some don't (and I'm not getting into the details, but it comes down to how accepted the word is and how far removed the compound is from its components). Some languages like German are freer with word combinations. So? English speakers coin new words all the time as well (though certainly not as freely). If we have constrained the definition of compounding (see above, and I promise that these reasons are not meant to stroke the egos of English speakers) the problem mostly goes away. Semitic roots like qtb? These are very interesting, but so? Some morphemes are distributed: qtb (root for book) + i_a (noun-making morpheme) = qitab (book). The same rules for morphemes above apply: adding the morpheme to make book or write or library makes new words, but adding the morpheme to make a plural does not. \"Chinese people don't even deal primarily with our concept of 'word'\" is just nonsense that derives from not understanding the difference between writing as part of language and language as a whole.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_tymkm", "post_id": "tymkm", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/ChineseLanguage/comments/tpqra/the_average_chinese_persons_vocabulary_small/c4p0s3p?context=1", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/tymkm/hurotselildothaboker_on_why_english_is_probably/", "post_created_utc": 1337655071, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c4qxyfb", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c4qxyfb", "answer_score": 11, "answer_created_utc": 1337690096}}

{"question_title": "synbios16 with an in-depth analysis of the failure of the Sega Saturn console ", "body": "I don't feel this comment is a very accurate assessment of Sega and the Saturn.  \n  \nFor one, most of the issues he mention stemmed from Sega of America, not Sega of Japan. SoJ wanted nothing to do with the 32x. It was SoA that forced it through and got it released, and it was only released in America. The Neptune never was released, and again was the working of SoA. The early, boneheaded Saturn launch in America was also SoA's decision. \n  \nThe Mega CD was a perfectly fine move for SoJ to make. You have to realize they were up against the PC Engine, which had a very successful CD add on. The PC Engine was a wild success in Japan with over 700 games released for it over the span of nearly 10 years. It made sense to try and take some of that pie, even Nintendo was working on a CD add on for the SNES (which ultimately became the Sony Playstation).  \n  \nSoA was insistent that FMV games were the way to promote the Sega CD. Again, another bonehead decision from SoA, not SoJ.  \n  \nThe Saturn only failed in America. It was a rather successful and respectable machine in Japan with a very large library of games. During the PSX/Saturn/N64 era America really did get sidetracked by 3D. For some reason we were convinced/brainwashed to believe 3D gaming was the only way to go.

However, the I Ching claim is that Lao Tze's understanding of processes is valid, and that there appears to be an innate chi that develops with the person. Lao Tze's, and the I Ching claim, is that this is a core process, and that its' expressions are moderated by circumstance and the environment.\n\nWhat the I Ching is saying, in essence, is that it has developed an assessment to help people to understand where their core chi may be, a la Lao Tze's world functions and attitude theories, and once you understand something about your core personality, you may better understand some of your reactions to your environment, your career, etc.\n\nSo how reliable is it? The I Ching is very clear that it is as accurate as you allow it to be, in the sense that you may get differing self-assessments if you are in different environments, such as in your role as worker, parent, etc. To this end, the I Ching can benefit from the understandings of Zhou Gong Dan, Zheng Xuan, and the rest who also demonstrate how our perceptions, thinking, and conclusions can be subconsciously influenced by our environment.\n\nI Ching practitioners are explicitly taught to attempt to instruct those who would self-assess to do so in an environment or to imagine themselves where they are free from roles and constraints. I.E., what would one's \"preference\" be with respect to a given question. So you find the introverted politician, for example, who is in the public all day, and appears extraverted, but who, unknown to most, must have a lengthy quiet time at night. He or she should not self-assess during a campaign if he or she wants to understand what his core personality without constraints is.\n\nSo is it reliable? Depends on the environment. A better question is whether Lao Tze's theories have validity, and if so, what is the best or most efficacious way to understand one's core personality.\n\n----\n\nNot as clean as I'd like, but I'm lazy.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_uio2r", "post_id": "uio2r", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/skeptic/comments/uieyt/lets_discuss_the_myersbriggs_personality_types/c4vnwcm", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/uio2r/cornyfleur_discusses_the_validity_of_the/", "post_created_utc": 1338737623, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c4vq67h", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c4vq67h", "answer_score": 2, "answer_created_utc": 1338743892}}

However, I think that many are looking at the situation from a lower level position instead of a managerial perspective. Ethical behavior is commendable in life but it means very little in the business world. Not because the business world is unethical, but because it is beyond ethics completely in the Nietzschean sense.   \n\nBusinesses reward results because that is all the matters in the business world. Integrity is harped on about by the business world because that is what the public appear to be interested in so they use it as a selling point. Integrity doesn't get you a bonus at the end of the year, and if it did, where in the hell would it come from if your company isn't making any extra money? \n\nEthics are great in theory or when your money and wellbeing isn't involved, but when it is on the line... Well lets use television agents as a crude analogy... would you rather have an agent like [Charlie Runkle](http://californication.wikia.com/wiki/Charlie_Runkle) trying to find work for you or one like [Ari Gold](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ari_Gold_%28Entourage%29)? \n\nBack to the topic at hand though, the alternative culture that was suggested is only relevant if it increase productivity or profit in the long run. This is all the matters, lets not kid ourselves. The reason companies give workers more freedom is not so that they are happier but so that they will create something that will make the company more money. \n\nTo suggest that all businesses should allow employees creative expression suggests that all workers are creative and the ideas that they create will make money for the company. Yes, it would be ideal for workers to be able to be allowed complete freedom over their actions but lets not negate the fact that it is still based on results at the end of the day. Making money is the goal of the company, not promoting a happy work environment. \n\nWhat happens if I, as a manger, give someone 3 years to produce a product and then it turns out to be shit? I get canned as well as everyone that works under me. However, if I work on a quarter-to-quarter basis, I can address inconsistencies quickly and give the board what they want.

A lot of what he says is basically, \"It's important to get a scientific information because it's bad to be wrong about things.\"\n\nNo, a scientific education is important for two other reasons:\n\n1) The facts aren't important, but the method involved in reaching them is. He touches on this, but it's hard to find between all the religion-bashing. Science - doing labs, deriving equations - is a process. It is practice for taking complex problems and finding efficient and objective ways to break them down and conquer them. Not many people encounter the periodic table of elements after school, but everyone encounters obstacles in life, and without the ability to really think them through, it's easy to make a bad decision.\n\n2) The more you know about something, the more you can appreciate it. Jazz musicians enjoy jazz because they know the theory and the physical and mental skill involved. Painters can appreciate art more, because they know what goes into it. But whereas music and art often inhabit only a corner of a person's life, physics, chemistry, and biology are EVERYWHERE. There is beauty in seeing the xylem and phloem of a corn stalk and intimately knowing what they are and what they do, or in watching orange coals simmer down after a bonfire, and knowing how blackbody radiation produces those colors. The world is an intricate and fascinating place, and all the laws of science fit beautifully together. Maybe it's just me, but the more you know, the more you can appreciate life. And you can do whatever you want with that appreciation: you can thank God for all the beauty in the world, or simply thank scientists and teachers for allowing you to recognize beauty when you see it.\n\nMr. dude1212 is right, but for the wrong reasons.\n\n*Disclaimer: it's late in the night.

I have a degree in Graphic Design. \n\nThe fundamental issue with the designer/client relationship certainly does centre around cost and client respect. We're involved in rebrands that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars just to produce, plus millions to implement (signage, stationery, uniforms etc etc). \n\nWhen the stakes are so high, companies go to professionals. A professional is expected to be an authority and commands respect for their profession. \n\nTo use an analogy, you'll pull a splinter out yourself, but ask a medical professional (doctor) to fix your broken leg. \n\nWhen you do work for free, you do not command any respect from your client and they won't place value in your decisions. But this is multiplied when any random can pirate the Adobe Creative Suit and start producing \"artwork\" of their own. \n\nRemember, until the invention of the personal computer, Graphic Design was a trade that came from typesetters. Just like a carpenter or an electrician. The terms like \"leading\" all come from a time when it was a manual process. Now I am employing graduates who don't understand the relationship between what you can do in a dark room and what you can do in photoshop. \"Em\" space means nothing, superscript, subscript, tracking... all mysterious terms. Colour profiles! No one is taught about colour profiles! I can tell because 99.9% of artwork I see is using the default profiles Adobe assigns.

This may be a mostly semantic issue, but those who say misandry isn't real ultimately hurt the cause of feminism. And those who say it in an incredibly irritating way (don't real?

{"question_title": "Naberius explains the role of songwriting in American music culture", "body": "he could've gone far far more in depth and covered much much more ground.  songwriters have always existed behind the scenes, for aretha franklin, madonna, michael jackson (though his was more collaborative).  it would've been worth looking into how and why songs were written in say the brill brick building era into beatle mania (the beach boys and beatles were writing their owns songs long before the counterculture), the songwriters who were also composers throughout the seventies-eighties and sold their songs (Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie consistently gave songs they wrote to followers to build a scene--for example. David Bowie wrote All the Young Dudes and then gave it to Mott the Hoople).  \n\nsongwriting has long been its own industry and it exists today much the same as it did yesterday (the brill brick building songwriters of the 50's were so named because of the building they were housed in where they wrote songs--it was a business to write and then sell the songs).  You shop around your song to say Britney Spears, get her a great producer (like the Neptunes) for that song, and you have a hit.  It's entertainment.  it's like shopping a script.  The difference is that musicians can be auteurs much more easily than filmmakers which is why we take filmmaking much less for granted. \n\n I would suggest that we've become SO accustomed to singer-songwriters that we give them too much credit for what they do.  The Flaming Lips might not have created their best records with producer Dave Fridman.  No Beck's Odelay without the Dust Brothers engineering, mixing, and digging up samples. No In Utero without Steve Albini. etcetera etcetera ecetera.   In music there are number of people involved in the process from managers to engineers who at some point determine the shape, the sound, the lyrics of every song.  We tend to lift singer/songwriters up to a place above 'performers' like Katy Perry because they do it themselves.  No, they just do it differently because that's their preference.  And in some cases they don't do it all that well either.  Most can't record themselves, they can't manage themselves, they can't choose their own good backing band.

For one thing, the same line of argumentation that denies crabs a sense of pain due to a lack of a frontal cortex/neocortex would also deny octopuses a sense of sight due to the lack of a visual cortex.

Crabs have a CNS, and it is compartmentalized by function, similarly to ours - it is perfectly possible for them to have their own pain recognition area just as we do.

If a hay bail accidentally fell from the second floor onto a customer on the first floor, who should bear the burden of the customer's care? If a musket man accidentally discharges his weapon while in formation, causing hearing damage to others, was that a risk assumed by those individuals? If one brush fire of two separate origins burns down a farm house, do the originators of each brush fire get to avoid responsibility because the house would burned down anyway from the other person's fire? If faulty workmanship causes a train to derail and opportunists run off with spilled cargo who should bear the burden of covering the costs of the lost goods? This is tort law. The employer employee relationship is protected by government agencies tailor made for such purposes and includes WORKER'S COMPENSATION. Worker's compensation insurance requirements go back to the middle of the 19th century. It covers work site accidents. Employee's who get worker's compensation are not permitted to bring a civil suit against their employer (i.e. they cannot bring a tort suit). So, if employees aren't bringing tort suits, who is? Consumers. By volume of recovery, the majority of tort suits are against manufacturers of consumer products (think firestone tires or vioxxx litigation, a very recent development). This what \"class action\" lawsuits are. \"Class action\" lawsuits are a relatively recent development in civil practice that was created to handle the thousands of plaintiffs bringing suit against single/small groups of defendants related to tortious activity. Your cleaning agent catches fire if added to cotton rags and you didn't put a warning on the bottle? Cheap design of your car's gas tank causes the car to catch fire in minor fender benders? You've got a lot of plaintiffs bringing tort suits. Bottom line: The current state of affairs isn't tort law gone wild. It is what it has always been: somebody suffered damages, cause and fault are murky, new law is made to handle the new situation.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_vvi2v", "post_id": "vvi2v", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/vv4it/reddit_i_am_house_sitting_this_week_and_i_am/c57wj5s", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/vvi2v/funnyskunk_gives_a_great_primer_on_how_tort_law/", "post_created_utc": 1341137556, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c57zoph", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c57zoph", "answer_score": 23, "answer_created_utc": 1341143059}}

The Hemmingway of our generation could very well be Hemmingway himself. The internet has brought this constantly demand for instantaneous information absorbance and reaction to that absorbance and then a reabsorbtion of that new reaction. I don't intend this to argue to the effect that technology has somehow ruined everything, instead I mean to say that technology gives us the chance to share all of our history in a way that we just don't seem to care about. \n\nSecond is simply that sitting around waiting for the next literary giant is the exact reason you haven't found one. There are more books published on a regular basis now than ever. True, many might just be ghost-written autobiographic garbage, but try spending 30 minutes looking up books circulating the literary world, and I guarantee you that you will come across thousands of books from the last 20 years that are not only worth reading but that will convince you that Hemmingway is alive and well.

{"question_title": "audiostatic82 explains the virtues of a progressive tax system.", "body": "I always thought it seemed sane to support a progressive tax system because of two major policy points:\n\n* Money is not valued linearly.\n\nCompare a mid-range earner (50k) with an upper-range earner (50 million).   The needed goods that can be purchased with one's first $50,000 is much more valuable for someone who makes middle-range income than someone who makes upper-range income.   Essentially, more money = more diminishing returns.   That being said, non-need spending such as luxuries and and investment positively affect the economy, but this has a lesser comparative impact on economic prosperity than maintaining high monetary velocity.\n\n* The rich have the most to lose.\n\nIndividualism-based arguments such as:\nConservative: 'Rich people earned it, so stop telling them what they should do with their own money.'\nLiberal: 'Rich people should stop being selfish.   They have enough money, so they should give a bit more.'\n\nBoth of these arguments (coming from different sides of the aisle) equally makes little to no sense for systemic public policy.  Both arguments are missing the mark of the main point when it comes to sensible, systemic tax policy.\n\nDespite narrow-minded delusions of grandeur, no one gets rich (or for that matter, poor) on their own.    The basis of ones wealth is supported by those who purchased or supplied the goods necessary to build that wealth.   One can not get rich without the support of friends, family, education, transportation, ancestors, consumers, suppliers, etc - you can't do it entirely on your own, no matter how good your idea or inheritance is.    \n\nHistory has shown time and time again that disparity (usually of the economic and/or health varieties) causes instability and gross disparity inevitably causes decline, collapse, or revolution.   By virtue of the non-linear utility of money, a flat tax system would be more painful for low-to-mid-range earners since they could spend less on goods which are of the most value thereby increasing disparity even more.   When the rich pay more, they support the stability of the system which currently favors them the most.   \n\nAll of the above being said, I do agree with another that the progressive limits within the tax system need to be altered more frequently to match reality.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_vxdl0", "post_id": "vxdl0", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalDiscussion/comments/vx5lm/why_should_big_earners_pay_more_tax/c58ekuv", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/vxdl0/audiostatic82_explains_the_virtues_of_a/", "post_created_utc": 1341242588, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c58jzod", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c58jzod", "answer_score": 52, "answer_created_utc": 1341259447}}

The two key points from the article and the comment are below. From the article:\n\n\"Rare species of lichens, mosses and other plants and animals live in this forest. They have no chance to survive in secondary forests. I can say that in taiga old-growth forests around 25,000 types of species survive. In secondary forests there are far fewer.\"\n\nThis is the critical point: getting rid of old growth boreal forests would exterminate/make extinct many of those 25,000 species that are not found in secondary forests. If you want to keep those, you've got to keep the old growth forest intact. That's what the environmentalist is saying. Does the comment disagree? Actually, it says:\n\n\"While the old growth areas that are described in the article are no doubt rare, and rich in biodiversity that is often endemic to these types of areas; these days, a large majority of old growth northern boreal forest [are] in previously logged areas...\"\n\nSo basically, **he concedes the point.** They are rich in biodiversity and rare; that's all the article was saying. Then there's a lot of verbiage about how, *that aside*, this is how we do things in previously logged areas - areas, in other words, that are not worth preserving for the specific reason the article specifies. The comment then goes on to say that *common* understory plants are not at risk in *previously logged areas*, but again, that's not relevant here.

{"question_title": "watermark0n on what is really happening when we use \"logic\" and \"reason\" on the internet.", "body": "I'm very amused that he tossed down \n\n>One formal fallacy I've become rather decent at identifying is equivocation, or \"the misleading use of a term with more than one meaning or sense (by glossing over which meaning is intended at a particular time)\".\n\nAnd then followed it with \n\n>Think of, for instance, correlation equals causation. Of course if something happens once, it's more likely to happen again. That is essentially the basis of science, it is otherwise known as \"induction\". I suppose that, on some level, there's always the possibility that inductive reasoning could've been flawed. But it becomes massively unlikely after a while. An experiment is much more likely to be wrong because of error than random factors inexplicably overwhelming the results. It's really not even worth considering. Humanity is engaged in a struggle for the truth, there's nothing wrong with probabilistic evidence, as the signal will typically emerge from the noise in the long run. \n\nWhich is largely a misrepresentation of the nature of the \"correlation =/= causation\" fallacy in a similar sense to how he describes equivocation.  \n\nThe core premise being that correlation *alone* does not prove causation.  Causation needs to be separately proven, even if correlation points researchers towards possible causes to test.  In the case of his attempt to justify his disregard for this, he throws down \"nothing wrong with probabilistic evidence\" as though that really holds water.  \n\nTake Parkinson's' Disease.  The iconic tremor is the most universally known sign of Parkinson's.  Pretty much 100% of people with Parkinson's have the tremor.  Equally. a shortage of Dopamine in the brain is fundamental to the disease.  Pretty much another \"100%\" here.   But just because we see that 100% of Parkinson's' patients with a tremor has low dopamine, we can't just assume that the tremor causes low dopamine and think we've \"solved Parkinson's\".  Hell, we can't even go \"Hey, low dopamine causes the tremor!\" (Which it sorta does through a somewhat convoluted relationship with using adrenalin as a stand-in neurotransmitter, but that's an indirect cause and the whole business really is neither here nor there.) and then draw the conclusion that low Dopamine in the brain causes Parkinson's.  It doesn't, it's just as much a *symptom* as the tremor is.  \n\nHell, his representation of informal logical fallacies in general is somewhat a misrepresentation.  However, it's a misrepresentation common to the very same poor understanding he's criticizing.  Read what he is responding to, read what OP claims he's talking about, and then re-read his four-paragraph rant.  He didn't actually talk about informal fallacies other than his casual dismissal of a misrepresented correlation=/=causation in the third paragraph and a glancing mention in the first.  \n\nIn the second paragraph he just out and out goes \"well, all these people who claim to be logical are actually just talking opinion\" and goes on to debunk all that \"not actually logic\" like the fragile straw man it is, without substantiating his sweeping generalization with anything more than anecdote and populism (\"I've noticed...\", \"Instead, we see...\").  He simply dismisses everyone who has ever claimed to be speaking logically on reddit as dogmatics justifying their belief in opinion by claiming logic.  I'm not claiming this doesn't happen, and I'm not going to try and argue numbers or percentages - I just don't know them - but I know for sure that generalizing \"all people talking logic\"==\"pretentious assholes who don't know shit\" is bullshit.  I don't think I've ever met someone trying to talk real logic *and* sell an objective truth.  \n\nAnd to conclude it all, we can summarize the last paragraph with \"all argument is pointless because everyone else is an uneducated, unenlightened, ideological mouthpiece incapable of thinking rationally or realizing they were horribly wrong and you were obviously massively right; and may at times change tack when you ~~don't understand them~~utterly destroy them academically and intellectually, magnificently displaying the many glaring and horrendous faults with their puerile attempt to justify their sadly misguided views.\"  Instead, read their comment history and tell yourself that \"it's not their fault they're an idiot, just look at all this other retarded shit they also believe!\" while feeling increasingly validated about how incredibly clever you are in comparison to them.  Someone might argue that discounting someone's opinion on the basis of personality faults is [a logical fallacy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem)?  Or perhaps that discounting an argument because it contains a fallacy is in fact one of [those formal fallacies](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy) that OP was so excited about in paragraph 1?  No biggie, this whole thing was actually arguing from a position of opinion and anecdote why reddit is illogical and logic is totally overrated anyway, so fallacies are actually meaningless now.  \n\n**TL;DR**:  I decided halfway through that the whole thing is far more fun to read if I just assume that OP is actually a particularly clever troll, dropping a fallacy-ridden opinion-and-anecdote diatribe trying to discuss logic from a stance of authority.  That way I can just admire the amount of bait dropped into that magnificent four-paragraph work of a art and laugh that I got suckered into feeding just as much as everyone else who's responded if not more ... rather than cringe at the eloquent anti-intellectualism getting such a fawning reaction.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_w8x9p", "post_id": "w8x9p", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueReddit/comments/w7tzn/very_interesting_article_about_fallacies/c5b9j23", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/w8x9p/watermark0n_on_what_is_really_happening_when_we/", "post_created_utc": 1341797925, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c5bepaz", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c5bepaz", "answer_score": 101, "answer_created_utc": 1341819900}}

{"question_title": "well_golly on conspiracy theories.", "body": ">Oil companies buying up patents on new batteries and solar cells, in order to shelve the plans or merely farm the research out to little underfunded in-house 'show labs' that never get anywhere. Then they make commercials saying \"We're investing in new clean energy technology!\". Yeah - investing in the patents to stop them from being developed.\n\nMost of what he says is sort of non controversial, but this one actually needs some clarification.  Before I even start I would just like to say that Oil companies can go fuck themselves, they are spoiling swaths of the planet with greedy and irresponsible drilling with no cleanup plan. Now that that is out of the way:\n\nOil companies like to see themselves as \"energy companies\", and as such they have an interest in new energy storage methods.  They understand as well as anyone that oil will not last them forever, and to ensure future profit they must diversify at least to some degree.  The trouble is that with battery breakthroughs (actually with many different breakthroughs) most of them are fantastic in the lab but not suitable to be actually used in the real world.  People may see a headline saying \"scientists invent new battery that holds 100 times the energy\" or some such and assume that in the next few years battery technology will be adopting that and making leaps and bounds.  But if that new technology required the battery to remain in lab conditions (such as a certain temperature range) to function then the breakthrough really isn't that amazing.\n\nCompounding this are the problems with mass manufacturing.  Sure breakthroughs have been made that allow batteries to store larger and larger amounts of energy but many times these are simply not scalable to be made in large numbers.  Either it requires a prohibitively costly component or is too complex a process for mass manufacturing.  Both of these barriers also stop new technology at the gate.  People see news stories about these new battery types and never see them so many people assume it is a conspiracy (similar to cancer breakthroughs).\n\nMost of the time we make test batteries that are leaps and bounds ahead of what we have but when scaled up it may only be a 1% or 2% increase in efficiency, or storage, etc.\n\nI really have seen no evidence that oil companies are engaged in a conspiracy to hide away promising battery technology.  It just does not make any sense for them to do it financially.  If they got in on the ground floor of a new technology that would truly revolutionize society then they would see huge profits off of that, it is in their best interest to diversify for the future.\n\nTL;DR: fuck oil companies, but they probably aren't buying batteries just to keep their grip on their profit.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_wg3nk", "post_id": "wg3nk", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/wenp6/til_that_a_23yo_french_serialimpostor_once/c5cxkkn?context=4", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/wg3nk/well_golly_on_conspiracy_theories/", "post_created_utc": 1342109299, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c5d3tbp", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c5d3tbp", "answer_score": 38, "answer_created_utc": 1342121442}}

{"question_title": "Trexlittlehand explains how beekeeping is responsible for the decline in the bee population over the last 150 years", "body": "I feel compelled to respond as a former-beekeeper and a former-vegan (though the latter really doesn't affect my view of beekeeping).\n\nThis was a really interesting post and the guy obviously knows a lot about bees. However, I think there's one huge point that he/she seems to have glossed over:\n\nHoney bees aren't native to North America.\n\nThis complicates any discussion of what's \"natural\" or best for bees on this continent. There are now some wild honey bee populations here but bees were originally introduced by Europeans a few hundred years ago so honey bees have always been effectively an invasive species here and one primarily kept by humans. Any animal kept by humans will be altered by that relationship because it changes what's important for their survival. Look at modern pigs compared to wild boars. Very few livestock animals would survive in the wild because that's not what they've adapted for.\n\nAlso, I'm seriously skeptical of his portrayal of the beekeeping industry. Trying to draw any parallels to factory farming is just an attempt to elicit an emotional response from people who have seen PETA videos of horribly abused farm animals.\n\nHere's the thing about bees: They require lots of space to gather pollen so even on large-scale beekeeping operations they're still given lots of space between hives and conditions aren't really that different from those of a backyard beekeeper. Even if you wanted to cram them all together they tend to have little bee wars which may or may not destroy entire hives, which no beekeeper wants.\n\nAlso important to consider: Bees can and do leave when they aren't happy with their living situation. If a hive outgrows its living space, it'll leave and try to find a new one. Sometimes they leave just for the hell of it. It's up to the Queen.\n\nWhich makes me even more skeptical of this person's claims about our treatment of bees. Once again, if bees aren't happy, they can leave. And they frequently do. They can't be fenced in or otherwise forced to stay. Our hives would occasionally swarm and we'd find them in a nearby tree somewhere starting a new hive in the wild. Often we'd just lure them back with pheromones or we'd go capture a wild hive that was bothering someone's home (also using pheromones).\n\nAs for the sugar syrup, why do our hives continue to thrive if the sugar syrup is so bad for them? Most of our hives would increase in population and size exponentially year after year despite supposedly being fed inferior food. That's one reason beekeepers so often give away hives. We've got more than we know what to do with half the time. Our hives were in our backyard (which was quite large and abutted a horse pasture) so we only wanted about 4 hives. Those four hives would grow so rapidly that we had to start trying to give them away. Colony Collapse did wipe out about half our hives a few years ago, though. Prior to that, bees were thriving.\n\nSo I think overall I'm inclined to describe man's relationship with honey bees as \"symbiotic\" though even this seems reductive. Bees are very special creatures and trying to compare them to cows or pigs or dogs is disingenuous at best.\n\nDo I think that beekeeping has altered bees in a way that would be impossible to change? Yes. Absolutely. But the same can be said for any plant or animal raised/kept by humans. We change the things we harvest through selective breeding and natural selection still takes place but now they're selecting for things that make them more desirable to humans.\n\nSo, yeah, I think this guy is being a bit overly dramatic.\n\nOh, and as for bees being trucked around to pollinate crops, that's another product of humans introducing non-native species of crops. Check out this list of crops that are pollinated by bees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crop_plants_pollinated_by_bees\n\nIt would be difficult or impossible in some cases to raise those crops without honey bees. North America simply doesn't have large native populations of pollinators like a lot of the rest of the world. So if we want to continue growing those crops we've got to keep raising bees.\n\nSorry if this wasn't as focused as it could've been. It's a complex and interesting debate and I'm glad that he/she shared. I hope this helps provide some good counterpoints or food for thought.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_wti9a", "post_id": "wti9a", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/wsx2q/after_midnight_when_everyone_is_already_drunk_we/c5g8v4d", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/wti9a/trexlittlehand_explains_how_beekeeping_is/", "post_created_utc": 1342710040, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c5gfx5w", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c5gfx5w", "answer_score": 144, "answer_created_utc": 1342729096}}

A later response sort of covers it. By using a euphemism you get away with using the word, I \"got the gist\" and you have no responsibility for still using the word. It's like when religious types get angry, but instead of just saying \"fuck blah blah\", they say \"fudge\" and it's stupid because I still know exactly what you're saying, the intent is the same, but you hold no responsibility for what you just did in my head. It's more of a \"take responsibility for your thoughts and words, don't subvert it with tricky language\". \n\nHis argument is valid, but his car crash analogy was borderline strawman. The difference is closer to \"there was a car crash and two people died\" and \"there was a car crash and the first person smashed their head on the windshield and the other was impaled with a stray beam\". Still graphic, but far less hyperbole. \n\nWhen you sit there and say things like \"That Joshua is a bad guy, he says that all n-words stink, I tried to tell him not to say the n-word, and that they definitely don't stink but he wouldn't listen to me, he just continued to say the n-word\". What you just did there was get away with saying the word far more times than you would have if you had actually just said the word. Chances are that exchange would have been more like \"Fuck Joshua, he just said that all niggers stink\". There would have been no clarification, there would be weight to what was said. You wouldn't want to say it again. We've over saturated the use of \"the n-word\" so it's like saying \"fudge\" instead of fuck. There's no weight to it anymore, so you're like those religious types who use euphemisms every other sentence because they're repressing the urge to swear. I actually do swear, and I swear far less often because there's actual weight to it.\n\nIt's really gotten to a point where I can't tell where irony begins and *actual* racism ends. Everyone says it, it's gradually becoming innocuous. People swing the word around because they think they're edgy, they have no accountability, etc. The n-word in real life, is what saying nigger on the internet is like. The way I see it, we should have a laissez-faire attitude on the word, and wait for hyperinflation. Eventually the word will have no power and we can differentiate irony from prejudice easier.

{"question_title": "Viktorbir explains the genetic relationship between present-day Palestinians and Jews.", "body": "These \"Palestinian and Jews are really the same people\" threads seem to pop up often on Reddit. The only reason they exist to begin with is when some OP tries to use it to make some Israel/Palestine political point. Well guess what, there are plenty of real genetic studies showing that they are not significantly related.\n\nA mistake that is often made is to try and show that they are the same population based on haplogroups. Haplogroups represent ancient geographic population clusters, not recent genetic relationships. It means nothing to say Palestinians and Jews lived in the same geographic areas 15,000 - 40,000 years ago (which is what haplogroups do), if we are concerned with the past 3,000 - 4,000 years. Based on this same point much of Southern Europe and the Middle East would fit into this same cluster, not just Jews and Palestinians. Haplogroups are also single markers and often do not represent someone's genetic basis, they are just holdouts in someones genome that are used to pin ancient geographic location. To give you an example my dad has a ~99% European and ~1% West Asian autosomal genome, and yet he has a Sub-Saharan African maternal haplogroup and a Middle Eastern paternal haplogroup. You would be making a grand mistake in considering him a half African, half Middle Easterner.\n\nPalestinians and Jews originated from similar geographic areas many thousands of years ago, but that says little about a modern diasporic group, and another group that has been so thoroughly Arabized in the last couple of thousands of years.\n\nLook at these studies that consider more important things than haplogroups, like linkage analysis, autosomal DNA, and genome wide studies.\n\n\nAutosomal genetic distances (Fst) to **Ashkenazi Jews** based on SNPs - [source](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2730349/table/t1-09_94_tian/)\n(lower number, more similar genome)\n\n.\n\nItalians - 0.0040\n\nGreeks - 0.0042\n\nSpanish - 0.0056\n\nGermans - 0.0072\n\nDruze - 0.0088\n\n**Palestinians** - 0.0093\n\nIrish - 0.0109\n\nRussians - 0.0137\n\n.\n\nYou can see that Ashkenazi Jews, which are the majority of Jewry, are more similar to Southern Europeans before they are similar to Middle Easterners.\n\nAnd another [study](http://www.pnas.org/content/107/37/16222.full):\n\n>In July 2010 Bray's et al. using SNP microarray techniques and linkage analysis \"confirms that there is a closer relationship between the Ashkenazim and several European populations (Tuscans, Italians, and French) than between the Ashkenazim and Middle Eastern populations\" and that European \"admixture is considerably higher than previous estimates by studies that used the Y chromosome\" adding that their study \"support the model of a Middle Eastern origin of the Ashkenazim population followed by subsequent admixture with host Europeans or populations more similar to Europeans\" and that their data imply that modern Ashkenazi Jews are perhaps even more similar with Europeans than modern Middle Easterners.\n\nYou can find studies that extol the similarities between Jews and Palestinians. These are almost always done with a political gesture in mind and fail to clarify that they are often talking about a time before most modern ethnic groups existed as we know them.

{"question_title": "hivoltage815 explains why losing weight isn't as simple as eating less", "body": "It's a contentious point that apparently puts me on par with truthers and the fake moon landing crowd.\n\nI think the point is this: there is a lot more studies that can and should be done on the matter. There is no definitive prove of anything.\n\nI am almost 100% convinced that the Lipid Hypothesis is wrong. High fat is not bad for you and it does not cause heart disease or even obesity. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars in studies, they have found nothing but contradiction to this point. We should be able to put it to rest. Saturated fats are something man has consumed for millennia afterall.\n\nHow much of obesity is based on calories in / calories out and how much is based on other factors such as hormones, metabolic rates, and insulin resistance is up to much more debate. I personally feel it is fair to call increased hunger and calorie intake a symptom of obesity in many instances rather than a cause. More calories may help you get fatter, but how your body deals with those calories (and how it alerts your brain to eat more) is more important than the raw numbers. This shouldn't really be up to much debate either considering we have studies of force feeding thin people 10,000 calories a day and having them barely gain anything the numbers say they should.\n\nWhether carbohydrates are bad for you is the most contentious point. Obviously they, on a basic level, are not considering many people are healthy and thin eating 50% of their diet with carbs. I think in order for carbs to have a harmful effect, you also have to be eating significant quantities of calories. I also think that there is not enough research to suggest carbs found in whole grains, veggies, and fruits are anywhere near the harm that simple carbs are. Ever since we began consuming large quantities of sugar and white flour, we started seeing all modern diseases from cavities to diabetes to cancer. I am convinced those are bad news.\n\nOverall, the fact is you have to do your own research and try your own thing. This will always be a controversial matter. The one thing I just feel we should all be able to agree on is that it is complete bullshit when the AHA can slap a Heart Healthy logo on a bowl of Lucky Charms.

{"question_title": "cdigioia on how evolution made men and women view sex differently", "body": "Yeah, sorry but that is a gross oversimplification of men and women's sexual behaviors and not really what I'd consider in-depth, or even accurate.\n\nFirst off, the commenter is applying generalizations made about *very different animals* onto humans. What s/he should be looking at, if such generalizations must be made, are animals with similar social structures as humans. One thing that you'll learn in behavioral ecology is these factors will affect who cares for the offspring and how long:\n\n* How socially dependent the animals are\n* The structure of the social group\n* Whether the offspring is precocial or altricial.\n\nThe behavior that OP was describing refers to less social animals, and ones where the offspring are [precocial](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precocial). Human babies are not precocial, they're [altricial](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altricial), meaning our babies are very helpless at birth and need a lot of care, and not only that but they need a lot of care for a LONG TIME. \n\nSo, a better generalization to look at in the animal kingdom is that the more helpless offpsring is, the more likely paternal care comes into play. It also makes other sources of care more frequent, such as uncles/aunts/grandparents/cousins/etc. Sometimes, if social cohesion is important enough (which one might say it is in humans), the care of non-related offpsring in that social group will occur. I don't think anyone normally thinks twice about why human parents might hire babysitters and why babysitters are willing to exist, so there's something to chew on.\n\nAlso, might want to read up on some actual studies about men and women's sexual behaviors. Most people in that whole thread are just going off of armchair speculation. It is way more complex than you might think. Terri Conley has been doing research on how men and women respond to casual sex propositions, including research on gay/lesbian/bi people: [Here is a good run-down of one piece](http://yesmeansyesblog.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/gender-differences-and-casual-sex-the-new-research/) which does not support OP's assumptions.\n\nFor one thing, it isn't that women are less likely to want sex, it's that people in general are less likely to want sex from men. Notice how the \"yes\" rate for gay men is actually *less* than hetero men. Also bisexual women were more likely to accept casual sex from a woman than from a man. If you're wondering why this is, it's because when you ask someone \"would you have sex with a stranger\" they just automatically assume that if the stranger is a woman she must be attractive, good at sex, and not dangerous, and if the stranger is a man, everyone assumes he is unattractive, not good at sex, and potentially dangerous. Under more equal conditions (it is made known who the stranger is in terms of attractiveness and such) the gender differences in acceptance rates minimizes considerably.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_x14ts", "post_id": "x14ts", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/offbeat/comments/wzoh7/gay_dating_app_grindr_crashes_as_olympic_athletes/c5i1b7x", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/x14ts/cdigioia_on_how_evolution_made_men_and_women_view/", "post_created_utc": 1343071782, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c5ifwu3", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c5ifwu3", "answer_score": 5, "answer_created_utc": 1343098870}}
{"question_title": "benhargreaves defines assault weapons and explains what other purposes they have", "body": "I would like to point a few things out about the weapons features that are typically targeted in an attempt at control. Keep in mind that this knowledge is from my personal and military experience. Feel free to consider this anecdotal until I have the opportunity to source this information.\n\nThings the 1994 assault weapon ban targeted, and why they don't matter:\n\n* Bayonet Lug: \nThe danger presented by a weapon with a bayonet lug is not intrinsically more dangerous than weapons without. While guns that have bayonet lugs are more likely to have other illegal features, the most likely effect of this part of the ban is to prompt owners and dealers to simply cut off the lug. Not to mention the fact that potential violent criminals are unlikely to find a practical benefit from having the lug in the first place. Bayonets are not effective in the present \"street\" tactical environment. Police are not likely to be as concerned about the bayonet, so much as they are concerned about the bullets...\n\n* Flash Suppressor: \nThere is no strategic, tactical, or ballistic benefit of consequence that is provided by a flash suppressor. Flash suppressors are  bits of metal on the front of a gun's barrel that are intended to limit the visibility of muzzle flash from viewing angles greater than approximately 17.5 degrees. This is a useful attachment for weapons in military applications because they make it difficult for opposing troops to identify muzzle flash along the entirety of a front. They will only be able to see muzzle flash of units directly in front of them, and may find it more difficult to see the muzzle flash of units to their right or left. As this is not an issue when not in a battlespace, This feature has no effect on gun applications in non-military contexts. Muzzle flash is not a significant factor in police response, gun performance, or in hunting efficacy. Flash suppressors do not make a gun more dangerous.\n\n* Forward Grips: \nThis *does* add to the effectiveness of a weapon that is used illegally. Pistol grips make a gun more controllable in a tactical situation by moving the forward point of user control away from the shoulder, and towards the muzzle of the weapon. This has the effect of allowing the shooter to \"steer\" their weapon more effectively. Tactical shooters don't usually aim with their sights when in close quarters (such as a movie theater...), instead they rely on the same physiological ability that allows humans to point accurately and without thought, this technique is aided by a forward grip. However, legislating this feature is unlikely to be effective. Forward grips do not make such a difference that a criminal would be dissuaded from action by their absence. Furthermore, legal weapons are easily modified to have a forward grip, either through clamp-on accessories or through \"home\" modification.\n\n* Box magazines:\nLarge capacity box magazines are the best target, in my opinion, for effective gun control. A thirty round magazine has so many potential benefits to a criminal that they cannot be listed here. Larger ammo capacity greatly increases the lethality of a weapon by drastically increasing its effective rate of fire. However, present attempts at control are not effective. All box magazines for a given weapon possess the same \"mechanical interface\" and will fit in an appropriate magazine well regardless of capacity. What this means is that weapons sold legally can easily be modified to include a higher ammo capacity simply by buying a magazine stamped with the appropriate year. Again, legislation of this issue is unlikely to be effective due to the ease with which a user can acquire higher capacity magazines. Only legal use is likely to be curtailed through legislation of this feature.\n\n* Pistol Grip:\nA common feature on military weapons that usually simply allows ambidextrous usage. A pistol grip allows the user to reach a weapon's controls more easily despite right/left handedness. A limited ballistic effect can be measured as well. However, the same ballistic effect can be achieved through the use of several other stock designs such as thumb-hole stocks. Legislation of this feature is unlikely to have an effect due to the fact that legal alternatives exist, and that the military benefit of a pistol grip is due to the fact that it eases weapon design and not combat effectiveness to a great degree.\n\n* Folding stock/collapsing stock:\nAllows the shooter to more easily conceal a weapon, or more likely, to adjust \"length of pull\" for various applications. In short, a longer distance from shoulder to trigger typically increases accuracy at the expense of maneuverability and vice versa. While potentially effective, so many other methods of concealment are available that legislation of this feature is unlikely to have the desired effect. For example, an ak-47 user might simply saw off a piece of the stock if he desires greater concealability. \n\n* \"Capable of automatic fire\": \nSpeaking from experience, even legal users of assault weapons do not typically use automatic weapons settings. The control/rate of fire equation is much more effectively manipulated through pulling the trigger faster or slower than through use of a fully automatic setting. However, it must be conceded untrained shooters are more likely to produce casualties through the use of an automatic setting. However, criminals with access to a public range can certainly gain a high level of proficiency without the benefit of military style training.\n\nList of Weapons that are perfectly legal, but can fill the same role as an \"assault weapon\" in the hands of a criminal. Unless noted, these weapons were designed to be semi-auto:\n\n* M1-Garand\n* SKS\n* M14 (without automatic setting)\n* PS-90 (long-barrel variant of the P90)\n* Saiga\n* Vepr AK-74 (thumbhole stock, no automatic setting)\n* Certain AK-47 variants\n* Any 9MM carbine conversions, such as \"pack guns\"\n* HK 91 type .308 (without 30-round mag)\n* Beretta Cx4 Storm\n* M&P15 (without thirty round mag)\n* And hundreds more.....\n\nTLDR: Legal language in gun control legislation is very difficult to define effectively. Furthermore, current gun control legislation is unlikely (in my opinion) to prevent criminal use, as legal alternatives exist in profusion.

{"question_title": "CoriJane offers a simple reason as to why depression should be considered an illness", "body": "Overall a good response, but it irks me a little bit - I can't help but feel the author disregards the ambiguity inherent in the term \"illness.\"  At one point, he/she says\n\n>depression should remain classified as an illness: because people suffer from it.\n\nThat's all well and good, but we are left with a rather unspecific, abstruse definition of what exactly an \"illness\" is.  I mean, people suffer from bee stings - should we consider bees an illness?  Arguably, people suffer from being lonely - is loneliness an illness?  These two examples are varying degrees of absurd, but they do underline the fundamental flaw of his/her argument in categorizing depression as an \"illness.\"\n\nI also feel that he/she significantly downplays the biochemical etiology of depression.  It is a proven fact that significant fluctuations in brain chemistry can result in dramatic mood swings and unstable mental states; to say that \n>a modest mixture of [\"ulterior factors\" and brain chemistry] are what account for most cases\n\nis a bit of an understatement (and no, I have no idea what \"ulterior factors\" the OP is referring to).  It's almost like saying that a lack of oxygen is a \"modest\" aspect of drowning - while it's true that other factors come into play, the illness/morbidity does stem from a single, poignant causal agent.  In drowning, that agent is oxygen deprivation; in depression, I'd argue that agent is ultimately fluctuations in brain chemistry.\n\nThe real reason that medication has not been entirely successful in treating depression is not because brain chemistry contributes only minimally to mental health, but instead because we so poorly understand the way the brain (and its chemical signals) works.  We see that depressed people may not produce an amount of Neurotrophic Compound A commensurate with that of a healthy person, so we attempt to increase Neurotrophic Compound A levels in the depressed person's brain.  A logical action, but we're finding more and more that there is an elegant and extremely complex interplay of neurochemicals in the brain - an interplay that defies simplistic approaches such as \"give the person more of this shit.\"  For example, increasing Neurotrophic Compound A may inhibit production of Neurotrophic Compound B, further exacerbating the depressed person's symptoms and worsening the situation overall.\n\nPharmaceutical companies' approach up until this point in developing anti-depressive drugs has been more or less \"let's give you this and see what happens.\"  Granted, it involves a bit more sophistication and oversight than just giving depressed patients any old compound, but ultimately these companies really have no idea what the sequelae (in particular the longterm side effects) of their medications will be.  And because they (Big Pharma) don't understand how the brain's chemistry works (nor does anyone else, to be fair), sometimes they release a compound that is only moderately effective, be it the fact that the compound only works for some people or is rendered ineffectual after a specific amount of time.  Further complicating this is the brain's annoying adaptivity - give the brain something for too long and it \"grows used\" to that compound, leading to addiction and dose deterioration (i.e., requiring ever higher amounts of a compound to achieve a similar effect). \n\nIn short...to say that medication is not an effective form of therapy may be true, but it is not because the chemistry of the brain plays a minor role in mental health - a fact which I believe the OP severely misconstrues.\n\nTL;DR:  \"Illness\" is an annoyingly elusive term; brain chemistry is important, whether or not medication is a viable form of treating depression.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_x4ueu", "post_id": "x4ueu", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskSocialScience/comments/x2dml/psychology_why_is_depression_an_illness_exactly/c5ipd2m", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/x4ueu/corijane_offers_a_simple_reason_as_to_why/", "post_created_utc": 1343229630, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c5jbfw9", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c5jbfw9", "answer_score": 15, "answer_created_utc": 1343248539}}

{"question_title": "splintercell explains why Socialism does't even work in theory", "body": "I disagree. \n\n[To clarify, definitions are taken from Marx/Engles]\n\n\nAddressing the prompt 'why communism fails':\n\n   One can argue that communism failed after, say, 1917 Russia, is because socialism at that time was not a global, international system. The failure of the Russia revolution is because the country ate itself from the inside out due to lack of resources and means of production, not to mention constant pressure from the white army (which other capitalist states backed). After the Polish, German etc. revolutions failed at the same time, Russia was alone. The rise of Menshevik tendencies and Stalin also helped eliminate leading members of the Bolshevik party. Internal economics has little to do with international capitalist states vs. Russia. When one form of economic system/state is threatened by a state that is different, something it cannot interact with that threatens it's own integrity, it is natural for there to be economic tension (to say the least).\n\n>\"How will the state, which is a single owner of all capital goods, really allocate those capital goods for their proper usages?\"\n>\n   \n   In socialism, it is true that the state owns the means of production. Splintercell fails to mention that the 'state' in socialism, is in fact, comprised of the population. The state maintains the socioeconomic status quo. In this case, it is the self determination of the ruling class (proletariat). \n\n   The socioeconomic relation of the world is shifted to that of participatory democracy of the proletariat. There is no 'commonwealth planner'. Seeing as there has not been a socialist state (defining as an unorthodox Trotskyist), I will not speculate too much on what socialist society would look like. But individual and collective rights of the means of production would change, resulting in people being directly connected to their production, rather than abstracted with money for labor. Resource allocation would be democratically decided by populations, centralized by groups in relation to other populations (an example of this would be Soviets or workers' councils). The complexity that Splintercell describes is impractical if it fell on the shoulders of one, or even a group. One could argue that in this system, the complexity is countered with the composition of the complex, ruling class (proletariate, or the dictatorship of the proletariate). There are theories of how such a society would be governed, such as [permanent revolution](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_revolution). \n\nAs far as wether or not exchange value must be applied to commodities for them to be efficiently consumed, understanding exchange value and use value is crucial. \n\n>“We have seen that when commodities are in the relation of exchange, their exchange-value manifests itself as something totally independent of their use-value. But if we abstract from their use-value, there remains their value, as has just been defined. The common factor in the exchange relation, or in the exchange-value of the commodity, is therefore its value.” -Marx\n>\n\n   In a socialist society, there is a possibility that money will exist (currency is a tool of the state, and a state exists). There is also a chance no currency would exist. However, currency based on use value, rather than an arbitrary exchange value, would be more than likely. Economics as we know it would not look like anything that exists today. \n\nI realize some of this stipulation, so feel free comment or disagree.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_xb7qa", "post_id": "xb7qa", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/HistoricalWhatIf/comments/xabov/on_mao_zedongs_great_leap_forward_what_if_instead/c5krhpz?context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/xb7qa/splintercell_explains_why_socialism_doest_even/", "post_created_utc": 1343507053, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c5kv21w", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c5kv21w", "answer_score": 16, "answer_created_utc": 1343514303}}

{"question_title": "TortoiseDream explains relativity in ELI5", "body": "Seriously, this is terrible for ELI5. No elementary school child is going to understand any of this, I think even most high school kids wouldn't get it. It was well written and he covered all the basics, but I don't think it's possible to explain relativity in terms than ordinary people can understand without relying on a lot of diagrams and animations. Ray diagrams and simultaneity examples would help out a lot, but given the highly abstract nature of the material I think you'd have a hard time getting a 5-year-old to really understand what's going on. \n\nI think a more appropriate ELI5 for relativity would be something like:\n\n\nMoving people measure things differently than stationary people. The simplest example is if you imagine you are sitting in a train and your dad is on the platform waving at you. The train starts moving, and as you move, you see the clock at the end of the platform moving towards you, but for your dad, the clock doesn't look like it's moving at all. Likewise if you look down at your seat it doesn't look like it's moving to you but your dad sees your seat moving away from him. \n\nNow, the way that physics works is that every object in the universe is constantly giving out signals that move at the speed of light. These signals are how every piece of matter in the universe interacts in every way from gravity, to magnets, and even when you push something and it moves, those all work because of these constant signals. Essentially the receiving object has to take a \"measurement\" of the incoming signals which tell it how to behave. So, since we know that moving can affect measurements, and the way matter interacts depends on these signals and their measurements, it makes sense that how fast you are moving changes how physics works. This effect is called \"relativity\". \n\nFor people on earth, we don't move that fast compared to those signals (which, remember, are moving at the speed of light) and so it doesn't affect us much. But for planets and galaxies which are moving very very quickly, sometimes very close to the speed of light, relativity makes a huge difference in how they behave.\n\n\nThat was a lot harder than I thought it would be. \n\nI have to say to TortoiseDream's credit, I found:\n\n>To make an analogy, it's kind of like we are doctors who have studied an adult, and found a way to trace back what this adult looked like in the past. We can trace back what he looks like for a long time, until he is, say, only a day old. Before that we have no idea what he looks like, but we can at least say that we know how he looks at any time from 1 day old to his present age.\n\nTo be perfect for explaining how we can believe The Big Bang to be true even though we can't really use the normal scientific method to test it, which was the original question.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_xrdhw", "post_id": "xrdhw", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/xnsru/eli5_how_wellsupported_is_the_big_bang_theory_are/c5o11sk", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/xrdhw/tortoisedream_explains_relativity_in_eli5/", "post_created_utc": 1344249713, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c5p1vxs", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c5p1vxs", "answer_score": 8, "answer_created_utc": 1344276633}}

Opiates have no ceiling dose that will kill- tolerance is the only factor determining the amount of drugs required for the painkilling effect. Eg. My grandma has been on a 100mcg Fentanyl patch for years, if I slapped that bad boy on I would be rushed to the hospital within hours.

{"question_title": "T_Hickock explains the LIBOR scandal like you're five", "body": "> When the rate is high, that suggests that the banks aren't as confident in eachother, putting a higher interest rate on as insurance.\n\nThis is a convenient explanation, but not exactly correct. There are many factors involved in the fixing of an interest rate (whether it's the effective funds rate or one of the interbank offering rates). Creditor confidence--i.e. the assessment of counterparty risk--is only part of what determines that rate. Other factors may include target rates of interest (in a related example: the Fed Funds rate is always higher than the targeted rate, which you might explain as the baseline inflation of deposits).\n\nAnother factor is the current balance sheet of the **lending** bank. For example, if liquidity (defined as available cash - reserve requirement) is tight, then all banks would be less likely to lend. There is a simple analogy to the classical \"Supply vs. Demand Curve\" you see in Econ 101. The more pressure a bank feels to provide liquidity means the higher its necessity, and therefore demand for a loan from another bank increases--thus driving up the equilibrium price. Simultaneously, if all of the banks as a group are also struggling with liquidity, then said liquidity is more valuable to them presently than it would be in the future; where the future is the date of debt settlement between debtor/creditor banks. This makes them less willing to lend (reducing supply), and the implicit increase in present value is reflected by higher offering interest rates on loans (or in other words, reduced supply also drives the equilibrium price upward).\n\nThe LIBOR scandal was a deliberately falsified reporting of the offering rate provided by banks (Barclay's in particular). The direct effect of this manipulation was, presumably, a lower fixing of LIBOR, ultimately reducing the interest rate on any loan or investment vehicle whose value is tied to LIBOR.\n\nTake, as an example, interest rate swaps. IR Swaps are one of most voluminous derivative products in the financial world. Two parties engage in an IR Swap in the following way: Party 1 has a debt obligation with a fixed interest rate; Party 2 has a debt obligation with a floating interest rate. They swap interest rates by Party 1 paying Party 2 a rate of LIBOR + x% while receiving a fixed rate from Party 2. If Part 1 knows in advance that LIBOR can be fixed downwards (by rigging LIBOR), then they can transform a potentially higher fixed interest rate into a floating rate that they know will be lower; or that they have the means to actively push lower (i.e. if they are part of Barclay's trading desk).", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_xzrsp", "post_id": "xzrsp", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/xz3nr/the_libor_scandal_is_the_largest_financial/c5qydm4?context=1", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/xzrsp/t_hickock_explains_the_libor_scandal_like_youre/", "post_created_utc": 1344601989, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c5r2jjr", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c5r2jjr", "answer_score": 5, "answer_created_utc": 1344611475}}

There was Value Pluralism, Monism, and Nihilism. All it comes down to is how many \"absolute\" values there are - universally, objectively valuable concepts, like goodness, or love, or beauty. Pluralists think that there are multiple \"absolute\" values that co-exist, while monists think that there is only one. A utilitarian might be a value monist and believe only in \"good.\"\n\nValue nihilism is the stance that there are no universal, \"absolute\" values. Which, to me, is the only intuitively or empirically true stance to take. It seems preposterous to assume that there are any \"values\" in the sense of the word we use it outside of humanity. Which is definitely what Scithion is saying.\n\nTo me, though, why it's empowering - and Scithion kind of gets into this - is that it's absolute liberation.

Russia's ... (GDP) increased 6 fold, climbing from 22nd to 10th largest in the world.\"\n\nSimplifying past events shouldn't help his cause either. Russia isn't split equally along two lines, and Pussy Riot didn't work with the opposition or liberal media. Their sentence represented more about orthodoxy vs. secularism than anything else.\n\nHere's one of my biggest grievances - Torlond keeps on using the Liberal party interchangeably with the opposition. I'm surprised that Torlond, being the supposedly politically informed citizen that s/he is doesn't remember that the Communist Party is the popular opposition. \n\nWhat single party is Torlond talking about? From what T says, it's not the Communist Party as that's not Liberal certainly. It's not the LDR either I hope, as the man in charge is fascist (Google Vladimir Zhirinovsky). It's not AJR as they're [fine with Medvedev but not with Putin](http://www.isn.ethz.ch/isn/Digital-Library/Publications/Detail/?ots591=0c54e3b3-1e9c-be1e-2c24-a6a8c7060233&lng=en&id=133117) and it can't be Yabloko, Patriots of Cause, or Right Cause as they in unison make up less than 2% of the elected. \n\nLastly, and I'm going to bed now as it's quarter past four; Torlond says \"What's interesting is that church itself has nothing to do with the process\" (concerning Pussy Riot). I argued [much better to the contrary here](http://politicaldeficit.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/pussy-riot-martyrs-for-secularism/#more-340) (I'm really really sorry for linking to a blog but it's better than copy-pasting it in). \n\nWhat upsets me is that all of this is upvoted straight to the top just because it sounds good, and nobody called him out early enough.

{"question_title": "hexapodium gives an in depth explanation of how class A and A/B amplifiers work", "body": "This is a very accurate overview, but in part is sort of \"begging the question\"...\n\nA simplified version of different amplifier \"classes\":\n\n- **Class A** (can be tube or transistor): The amplifier is brought up to a very high constant voltage, then modulates current(\"power\") in (theoretically) linear fashion. Sounds great, but is very inefficient and relatively very expensive to build and operate. You could think of it like having a plumbing system where every pipe, sink, tub, drain, and toilet was constantly kept full: you just adjust the flow of water moving through an always-full system, and never have to hear flushing or gurgling or splashing sounds. Common only in fairly expensive studio/audiophile equipment. \n\n- **Class B** (can be tube or transistor): The amplifier defaults to zero voltage at silence and then uses a \"push\" stage and a \"pull\" stage to ramp up voltage as the current flow goes from positive to negative.  Approximately twice as powerful as a similar-cost, similarly-constructed Class A amp, but suffers from ugly-sounding non-linearity at the \"crossover point\" where the current goes from \"push\" to \"pull\". Think of it like a regular plumbing system. Uses only as much water as necessary, and defaults to \"empty\", but makes noises when it switches from \"fill\" to \"drain\". Common in very cheap consumer audio (think dollar-store clock radios). \n\n- **Class A/B** (can be tube or transistor): Think of it like a plumbing system that keeps a *little* bit of water everywhere, all the time, to achieve halfway benefits. The very best ones approach Class A audio quality, with close to Class B efficiency. Traditionally common in consumer hifi systems and mid-tier studio equipment. \n\nTraditionally, guitar amplifiers are made with vacuum-tube rectifiers (aka valves), or else tube-emulating solid-state circuits, because of the smooth, crisp-sounding, harmonic \"fire\" that overloaded tubes impart to \"hot\" signal (compared with, say, the nasty white-noise clipping of overloaded digital). That kind of \"guitar distortion\" has nothing whatsoever to do with the \"crossover distortion\" referenced in Class A versus Class B or A/B topology. Totally different thing. \n\n- A newer and increasingly common thing is so-called **Class D**, or \"digital\" amplifiers (different from digital audio, they are amplifying analog signals \"digitally\"). This is an *extremely* efficient amplifier design. You could do worse than to think of it (in plumbing terms) as a high-speed on/off valve that pulses water in \"spurts\", with a sort of variable-control valve or tank downstream, that regulates how quickly the water actually comes out of the faucet. \n\n\"Class D\" amplifiers are solid-state only, AFAIK, and are capable of extremely high fidelity, but are not suitable as \"guitar distortion\" amplifiers, unless used solely as downstream power-amplification for a signal that has already been \"tube overloaded\" via upstream distortion/saturation boxes of some sort. \n\n\"Class D\" is rapidly overtaking Class A/B as the topology of choice for consumer hifi and mid-range studio/audiophile equipment. \n\n- **Further side-note on guitar amplifiers:** As referenced above, the most desirable guitar amplifiers are generally not even close to the most \"accurate\", but rather the ones that \"overload\" in flattering ways. Many purists believe that it's not just about getting the initial \"tube overload\" and then making it louder, they will insist that the sound is also drastically affected by things like speaker-excursion (making the cardboard speaker cones \"bark\" at the limits of their front-to-back motion), speaker-cabinet acoustics, reactance in the power-amp stage to speaker-load, etc. \n\nThis is not entirely audiophile-style \"woowoo\", those things genuinely do affect the output sound. How much and how beneficially is a separate question, and many modern guitar-effect processors aim to emulate all those effects, with the idea of allowing an inexpensive digital processor to modify the signal so that it can be amplified cheaply and cleanly through any reasonable system and sound just like a vintage, all-tube Fender Twin or Marshall JCM or whatever. How well that kind of stuff works is a totally different topic from Class \"A vs B\" amp topology.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_yj1wc", "post_id": "yj1wc", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/Bass/comments/xtjgr/can_someone_explain_what_the_difference_is/c5vmd2k", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/yj1wc/hexapodium_gives_an_in_depth_explanation_of_how/", "post_created_utc": 1345479704, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c5w94ku", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c5w94ku", "answer_score": 4, "answer_created_utc": 1345510008}}

My Roman history is rather weak, but his complete dismissal of the Athenian democracy inclines me to think his telling of events lacks balance.

As far as I can recall my Roman history courses, it looks broadly okay, but I'm going to defer to those more expert than me either here or where I've put in a [request](http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/ywpuq/historians_of_the_late_roman_republic_i_need_some/) at /r/AskHistorians when it comes to Rome. [**Update:** cfmonkey45's narrative has been deemed largely valid by the historians; it's just been simplified for internet consumption. The thread is worth checking out, for those interested in more detail. I'm going to leave the rest of my post up, but please don't consider cfmonkey45 a fraud for being careless in a few comments about Athens when he really wanted to talk about Rome.]\n\n**Edit, continued:** But I am suspicious that the post may be misleading or tendentious in its presentation of Roman politics. The reason I am suspicious is that there are huge errors, oversimplifications, and omissions in the few sentences cfmonkey45 writes on Athens. I'll admit that I may have overreacted because, firstly, of the esteem I have for Athens, and secondly because I was shocked that someone who has read as much as cfmonkey45 clearly has and is as intelligent as cfmonkey45 seems to be could write such dismissive overgeneralizations. I may even be mistaken about a few things with Athens, but I'll write a few words of explanation on why I'm offended at his depiction of the Athenian democracy.\n\nThe most mind-boggling error is in the first sentence.\n\n>In Ancient Athens and Sparta, there were no serious debates.\n\nSparta and Athens are completely different, and we have much less direct evidence on Sparta, so I'll talk about Athens. The culture of debate prevalent at Athens is, in my humble opinion, *the greatest contribution in all of Ancient Greece to modern society*. Public political discourse, the discussions of intellectuals, and drama all flourished in Athens (indeed, one could argue that they were born there) and were all mutually supportive. The political institutions of Athens rewarded whoever could come up with the most persuasive argument with victory; this was true not only in the Assembly, where legislation was passed, but also in the courts. Something people may not know is that there were no lawyers in Athens. If you were charged or wanted to bring a charge against someone, you had to argue your own case (you could, however, [hire someone to write a speech for you](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logographer_%28legal%29)). This meant that there was great demand for teachers of rhetoric among the wealthier Athenians, because the ability to persuade led to power and influence, and it made you more immune to prosecution. These teachers of rhetoric became known as sophists, and philosophy grew out of their thought (Socrates cast doubt upon many of these teachers' beliefs, and Plato's dialogues are our greatest surviving testament to this tradition of discourse). In drama, too, debate was a central idea: any scholar will tell you how a signature feature of Athenian drama [*agon*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agon), or contest, where characters will debate about each others' actions and motives (one of the more exciting devices common in such *agones* is called [stichomythia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stichomythia#Sophocles), a quick back-and-forth of single lines between characters). So you can see debate in pretty much any Athenian literature: in drama, both comic (Aristophanes) and tragic (Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus); in philosophy (Plato); and in political and private speeches that survive (Demosthenes, Antiphon, Isaeus, Hyperides, Lysias, Isocrates; partly fictionalized political speeches also feature largely in Thucydides' *The Peloponnesian War*). What's awesome about the culture of debate is that reasons don't discriminate against poor people. Whoever was convincing could have an enormous impact on Athenian politics. This sort of discourse never arose in Near Eastern states like that of Egypt, where the rich were far wealthier and far better able to keep the poor in subjection. Only in Greece were societies able to foster the kind of debate that made the things that interest us in philosophy and drama possible. [Addendum: this stuff isn't exclusive to Athens, or to its so-called classical age. For example, there's debate in Homer too--at the very beginning of the *Iliad* you'll see Achilles challenging Agamemnon's authority. Note, however, that this is a debate between chiefs of clans. In another passage (*Iliad* 2.211-277), a non-noble named Thersites gets clobbered for arguing against Agamemnon; there's no [equality of speech](http://bit.ly/MWGlNc) in the Homeric world as there is in the Athenian democracy.]\n\nSo that's what made me most indignant, but there's a couple of other points to be made.\n\n>Athens was completely dysfunctional.\n\nOkay, I have no idea what this commenter is talking about. Admittedly, Athens was a much smaller state than Rome, but at least partly because of the political input allowed to poor citizens, it was quite stable while it lasted. The democracy was instituted around 503 B.C., and there were a couple of changes of regime between 411 and 403 as a result of Athens' losses in the Peloponnesian War and Sparta's wish to set up an oligarchy in place of the democracy, but apart from that it survived intact until Philip of Macedon conquered Athens and put the democracy to an end in 323. One hears a lot about riots in ancient Rome; I have not heard anything about such riots in Athens. Indeed, Athens was politically stable enough that everyone went along with Pericles' [plan](http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0247%3Abook%3D1%3Achapter%3D143) at the start of the Peloponnesian War to *let the Spartans burn their farms* and hide inside the city walls. At least to that extent, Athens had a pretty admirable degree of civic unity; I for one don't know how I'd like it if my government told me that its war strategy was to let the enemies destroy all my stuff.\n\n>Notable examples of its failure were the execution of generals who failed to pick up allied crews after a naval battle, the gruesome and wrongful execution of treasurers of the Delian League until they were later exonerated by finding out the \"fraud\" was really an accounting error (the people in charge of that were also executed), and the forced suicide of Socrates \"because he was unpopular.\"\n\nThese are some of the most tyrannical actions of the Athenian democracy; they show what is wrong with a purely majoritarian system of government where citizens have no legally protected rights. These actions are terrible, and will I join anyone in denouncing them. I'm actually surprised that cfmonkey45 didn't also mention the execution of the generals who violated Athenian religious practice by failing to rescue the bodies of the fallen at the [Battle of Arginusae](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Arginusae#Aftermath). But I honestly don't see how, say, a state where an authoritarian ruler [has some 520 political rivals killed](http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/479342/proscription) is any better; nor do I see how some isolated examples make the entire history of a 180-year political order \"completely dysfunctional.\"\n\ncfmonkey45 seems to be deriving his attitude toward Athens from its critics. One of the things that's somewhat ironic about Athens (if irony is the right word here) is that, despite its significance as the best-attested and most influential democracy in ancient Greece, we have no writings from it that outline a systematic democratic theory--the best thing we have is a [little speech](http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0178%3Atext%3DProt.%3Apage%3D320) by Protagoras in Plato's dialogue of the same name. All of the most conspicuous intellectuals in Athens argued *against* the democracy. Plato was an especially harsh critic, and Thucydides, in his efforts to show the decisions of the assembly as rash and uninformed, does not do much better; Aristotle is also iffy on the system. Because of the influence of these writers, \"democracy\" had the connotations of \"mob rule\" until just 200 or so years ago. So this is where cfmonkey45 is probably getting his attitude, but it is now an attitude held in much less favour than before.\n\nIt's also incorrect that\n\n>Athens was **unique** amongst the ancient world in that it was a direct democracy\n\nbecause other Greek states who didn't write as much stuff to come down to us also had democracies, often with slightly different institutions from Athens. Argos and Syracuse are some examples of non-Athenian democracies.

It's got a logo/motto/symbol, a huge population, segmented but ultimately unified groups, and cultural traditions. That said, it's not close-knit, much as I don't care about some random dude on the other coast, most Redditors don't know or care about other random Redditors, unless they're a big name. But agreed in that *some* smaller subreddits are much closer-knit and could be called a legit community.\n\n----\n\nI think the main reasons \"haters\" stick around is that ultimately, there's no better place to go. Sure there are niche sites with more intelligent discussions, but the sheer size (and therefore potential audience/influence) of Reddit is near unmatched. And the structure of creating a subreddit where you have near-dictatorial power, completely free, is pretty damn uncommon as well.\n\nOn that note, Reddit has an amazingly laissez-faire attitude towards dissent. Groups like SRS for example, they would have been banned by admins a long time ago on SA, MetaFilter, Fark, etc. But on Reddit, they have a voice, then *can* air their complaints about the site.\n\nUltimately, I think most of the \"haters\" love Reddit the website, but they hate Reddit the userbase.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_z5fck", "post_id": "z5fck", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/circlebroke/comments/z5688/if_you_hate_reddit_so_much_why_dont_you_just_leave/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/z5fck/ytknows_discusses_why_perceived_haters_of_reddit/", "post_created_utc": 1346441304, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "c61m0dy", "answer_comment_name": "t1_c61m0dy", "answer_score": 58, "answer_created_utc": 1346443813}}

The risk didn't pay off and NiP failed to qualify. Now Lemondogs (the organisation) were left with a spot in the LCS, but had no team. They ended up recruiting a pretty random team, that was considered very bad, and unlikely to have qualified into the LCS if they would have had to play for their spot. Now rumours started to arise that NiP would buy the spot from lemondogs, and fill it with their players. People in the LoL community were pretty pissed about this, since NiP failed to \"earn\" their spot by qualifying. The drama intensified when Riot announced that Lemondogs had been given a deadline to submit a roster that would compete in the next split of the LCS. Lemondogs failed to submit proper paperwork in time, which some people found suspicious. Now Riot held a qualifier for the Lemondogs spot, and NiP failed again to qualify (this time because of failing to show up in time).

What is not so common to know, is how he spent his time there.\n\nHe was living in a men's homeless shelter at that time, ironically together with a jewish roommate. He visited the parliament in Vienna and that is when he decided democracy can't work. Given how the parliament was operating, that is nothing really surprising - everybody had the right to speak in their mother tongue and no translators were present. \n\nSince speaking time wasn't restricted, people sometimes just recited poems to prevent others from speaking at all. Making noise like for a major sport event was common to disturb the speaker.\n\nHitler learned two very important things while watching the parliament:\n\n* parliaments don't work for the political process\n\n* if you radicalise everybody as a political enemy, you don't gain any reasonable advantage (this was the Austrian-German Nationalits' failing tactic)\n\nThe last point was what he did different when taking on a political career in Germany. Although the Nazis took action against a couple of groups of people aside from jews (like Sinti, Roma, Homosexuals etc), the propaganda foremost concentrated to be against jews, to justify the necessary laws and enactments for comitting  an organized genocide.\n\n\nEdit : Source - [Hitler's Vienna by Brigitte Hamann](http://books.google.de/books/about/Hitler_s_Vienna.html?id=I5pfb50_aeEC&redir_esc=y)", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_1xelma", "post_id": "1xelma", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/1xdh9t/hitler_speeches_with_accurate_english_subtitles/cfaln8r?context=1", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/1xelma/an_explanation_on_why_germans_joined_the_hitler/", "post_created_utc": 1391914409, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cfav5fc", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cfav5fc", "answer_score": 21, "answer_created_utc": 1391949450}}

{"question_title": "/u/duncanstibs explains why hunter-gatherers are freer than us", "body": "One thing I would add that /u/duncanstibs hinted at in his post is that a lot of this depends on what sort of freedom you are talking about. As he already pointed out, from the perspective of liberalism (he said neo-liberalism, but really it is classical liberalism that would object), people in hunter gatherer societies have little material freedom as ownership of possessions is not a major part of most hunter gatherer societies. Sometimes there is a recognition of ownership over certain things that are made, like blowguns and bows and so forth, but not as much for food and other disposable goods. Arguably though, there is an informal system of economic exchange, as in theory you eventually have your contributions returned to you in some way, if not always in a 1 for 1 food exchange, then in things like status and sexual opportunities.\n\nThe other thing I would point out is that social freedoms are, arguably, very low in hunter-gatherer societies. There is tremendous pressure to conform to social norms, and even though there may not be state violence forcing you into line, there is something just as powerful: the threat of exile. People who deviate too much from social norms can suffer the rather severe consequence of being kicked out of the group, which in many places is practically a death sentence. Thus, there isn't a lot of room for individual expression in the way we conceive of it in the modern world. \n\nIt would be *extremely* questionable to challenge, say, a ritual right of passage as a young male about to undergo the [Sambia nose bleeding ritual](http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/3696953?uid=3739256&uid=2&uid=4&sid=21103382996151), despite it including sucking a dude off and drink his sperm as a boy. Whatever your opinion of the matter, it is expected that you do this, otherwise you don't become a man in the eyes of the group. The idea that you might want to reject such a right of passage would probably be nearly unfathomable, and the pressure to conform is clearly immense. From a modern perspective, we would view that as socially enforced child rape. Obviously this isn't how such things are viewed from an anthropological perspective,or how the Sambia think of it, but the idea of a child being to forced to endure anything remotely similar to that in the modern world would, naturally, be shocking to the vast majority of people, and a world in which you were essentially forced to undergo this as a ritual probably wouldn't be seen by most people as \"free.\" Then again, circumcision is still quite common, so it is hard to see where free begins and socially imposed norms really end, but even there the decision is ultimately individual, albeit at the discretion of the parents.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_1xp2h3", "post_id": "1xp2h3", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskAnthropology/comments/1xim7h/how_free_in_terms_of_personal_liberty_are_were/cfc55u0", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/1xp2h3/uduncanstibs_explains_why_huntergatherers_are/", "post_created_utc": 1392196198, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cfdcw8d", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cfdcw8d", "answer_score": 108, "answer_created_utc": 1392203648}}

How easy it'd be to plan where to park that black van so you could be detained with a minimum of resistance and no witnesses. Political opponents, journlists, scholars, atheists, whomever, could be located with a simple SQL query. Look at all the reasons [humanity has committed genocide in the past](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides_by_death_toll) if you somehow think we've run out of reasons to perform it, or whether we've matured to get past in. In Ukraine Muslims are waking up to find red \"X\"s spray painted on their doors. This is happening **today**. In 2014.\n\nThe Nazis had to make use of a handful of punchcard-consuming machines from IBM to assist them with the extermination of millions of people. The computational power we have available to us today, combined with the unchecked collection of personal data by the NSA, GCHQ, and businesses around the world, would make the next great genocide efficient on a scale not yet witnessed by humanity. \n\nHow could anyone possibly hope to hide when people don't even understand the present-day data collection?

You can talk all you want about grassroots media producers feeding YouTube, the real cultural shift digital distro has created is away from media consumers pay to see and towards media that is purchased to put in front of consumers.

{"question_title": "/r/YESmovement and /r/da1hobo explain the problem of filtering every social issue through the concept of priviledge", "body": "I'm going to come right out and say it: /u/YESmovement has a strong and very common misconception about what privilege means. They might have encountered so-called \"SJW\"s who had the same misconceptions, but as a cultural anthropologist (ethnomusicology in my case), this is cringeworthy.\n\n\"Privilege\" as a concept in feminism, where the term originates, is meant to *make you aware of your own subject position*. This is absolutely crucial if you want to be just approximately correct in your observations about other people. You cannot assume that everyone's experience in life is equivalent to yours, or that the problems you think that someone has are actually the problems they themselves think they have.\n\nFor minorities, privilege is about the power to define. Some people have access to the discourse and definitions — others don't. When we talk about racial minorities in terms of stereotypes, we might do so without even realizing that we're actually relying on stereotypes, and if we're part of a white majority in a Western context, those minorities likely don't have access to the conversation at all. Structural racism may be what prevents those voices from getting heard, but that's only one side of the coin. The other is the fact that we actually take the liberty to define someone else based on a criterion that we have decided on. Privilege is the power not only to *have* the conversation, but also to *frame* the conversation, often by presuming a specific taxonomy that frankly is, in the cases of both race, gender, and sexuality, a remnant of a pseudo-scientific world view originating in the 1800s.\n\nNow, analytical categories are useful and necessary, but they're also self-preserving to a degree. This is one of the greatest conflicts in current identity theory. On one hand, it's easy to deconstruct racial identity as arbitrary and unnecessary, but on the other hand people self-identify within those constructs and use those identities to forge bonds and communities within oppression. It's hard to say if homophobia is best eliminated by saying \"being gay is the other option, which is also valid\" or by saying \"being gay is something homophobes have decided what means for you; let's do YOU instead\".\n\nThis post is a result of a common phenomenon: The poster doesn't *want* to be a racist. They don't *want* to be a misogynist. They don't *want* to be a homophobe. They might even be politically working and voting for positive change for all minorities. But to the people who are actually in minorities, it is embittering to see positive allies *still* rely on normative expectations toward them. They're the straight dude who wants to be friends with the gay dude so they can say they are open-minded and tolerant. They're the white person who brings watermelon to the black neighbour's kids because \"you people like that\". There is *so much* misplaced goodwill towards minorities, but the only way to make an *actual* difference, and to be an *actual* ally, is by listening to the people who are actually in the situation, and by realising that they don't have access to your definition of them. Your conceptions of what it means to be black, gay, trans, or even a woman, comes from some place other than the person you're dealing with, and realising that is absolutely tantamount to achieving *actual* equality. That is why it's really extremely important to talk about privilege.\n\nOn the other hand, if you legitimately don't care about minorities that want to criticise your preconceptions about them, i.e. if your support for someone stands or falls on whether or not you're allowed to define them, you're not really an ally.

I did a EE undergrad so the transition was puzzling to me, seeing how you can literally send 32x the data with every clock with a parallel setup. From what it sounds like, they're basically doing RF engineering for communications between chips. Phase locked loops (PLL) to synchronize communication between the CPU and RAM (PLLs, or something like it, already exist within a CPU to increase and stabilize clock rates anyway, so adding more is no big deal), Gray codes to reduce bit error rates (basically you purposefully cause reflections on a line so that noise due to bit transitions is about even throughout the message, reducing the chance that you have a sudden spike in voltage on the receiving end), wouldn't surprise me if they incorporate some sort of QAM modulation scheme to abuse bit-rate even further.\n\nSomething he doesn't necessarily go into is the space on a motherboard saved with using a serial connection. He doesn't mention that in a parallel setup with high speeds, they do trace length matching (also something about devices being able to compensate a bit for mis-matched trace lengths). If you look at a motherboard, you'll see a bunch of squiggly lines that undulate for seemingly no reason. That's what they're trying to accomplish here, make it longer so that all parallel lines are roughly the same length.\n\nWith serial, you obviously don't care about that anymore. This saves, to put it bluntly, *a square fuckton of space* on the board. Not to mention design time...trace length matching is tedious, arduous annoying work since automatic pathing blows...pretty much has to be done by hand. Also, not taking up all that space with squiggly nonsense makes it possible to put the RAM closer to the CPU, which actually a huge difference for how fast information is transferred.\n\nAh, hardware...you crazy.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_22mfpd", "post_id": "22mfpd", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/22lpvl/byebye_ddrn_protocol_ddr4_will_be_the_last/cgo38qb", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/22mfpd/uantiduh_explains_the_difference_between_a_serial/", "post_created_utc": 1397065143, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cgogfhp", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cgogfhp", "answer_score": 26, "answer_created_utc": 1397082403}}

{"question_title": "[politics] /u/JollyWombat, solar pv technician, explains how feeding solar power back to the grid may be costlier and less useful than we imagine", "body": "This is true enough, but it's neglecting the long term perspective, which is really important. Early adopters of a technology always pay more than what it's \"worth\" because they have to in effect cover an unduly large chunk of R&D costs as well as pay for such things like infrastructure changes, but they drive the technology to a point where it becomes workable in the mass market. They (early adopting consumers and institutions) pay more because they want to see the technology succeed and become widespread, not because they want the best monetary value out of what they're investing in right away. It is understandable that engineers and utilities are not happy about distributed solar because they are risk averse by their nature, but that doesn't mean the risk is one not worth taking.\n\nThe above is assuming that distributed energy is something we want to drive toward a reasonable level of economic sustainability (it will never beat concentrated utility-scale power generation, of course). I think this is the more important question and I lean toward answering \"yes\". \n\nWhy? Well, for a couple of reasons. The first is that utilities are pretty vulnerable to a large range of problems, from ice (or solar!) storms knocking out half the grid in a region to increasingly plausible hacking attacks wiping out service for days or weeks. Distributed power generation is far more resilient than centralized generation and I think paying extra for a failsafe is a good idea - this is electricity we're talking about, in the 21st century an actual matter of life or death for many. And as far as failsafes go, solar is far cheaper and cleaner than fossil fuel generators over the long run and isn't vulnerable to a fuel disruption.\n\nThe second reason is more philosophical, as I favour people having more control over their lives, even at the expense of economic efficiency. Of course, this is a value judgement - if the long-run all-in costs (i.e, when we get past this early adopter stage) of distributed solar were 100x as much as concentrated generation, then it probably wouldn't be worth it, but if the differences were far more marginal than I think giving people the power to \"live off the grid\" as much as possible is a good thing.\n\nAs mentioned elsewhere, to totally be energy independent you currently need battery systems for energy storage and gas for heating and cooking, but the total cost of actually generating your own power is shrinking at an amazing rate. It would be a shame to cut this all off because *today* it doesn't stack up to large-scale generation. Indeed, the same cost trend is visible in large scale solar vs coal or natural gas, but the \"economic efficiency\" argument is far less popular there...\n\nEDIT: Reading some of the OP's comments where his technician's risk-averse nature - noticeable to myself as a physicist - comes through, I want to emphasize that society really should be in the habit of making little (resource-wise) gambles like distributed solar. This is how we advance as a society. If we stick to what we're certain will work we will rarely come across the surprises that have historically enhanced our standards of living. \n\nAgain, we're not going to match grid efficiency because of economies of scale and even fundamental physics (efficiency of some PV materials goes up with the concentration of light, which means you can set up *n* mirrors focusing on one panel and get more power than with *n* separate mirrors and panels - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_photovoltaics). However, if it works out to be reasonably close, than the advantages I gave start to come into play. It's probably a bad idea to pour resources into this that would be better off on grid scale solutions, but it's also a bad idea to cut it off entirely by scrapping tax incentives for people to generate a bit of their own power!", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_245vut", "post_id": "245vut", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/243plj/the_koch_attack_on_solar_energy_at_long_last_the/ch3mplx", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/245vut/politics_ujollywombat_solar_pv_technician/", "post_created_utc": 1398660608, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "ch403ro", "answer_comment_name": "t1_ch403ro", "answer_score": 70, "answer_created_utc": 1398675108}}

They have opinions about what's best for everyone or politics wouldn't be so damn loaded.  They want to help you see the benefits of their view and keep you from hurting others by standing in the way or they wouldn't argue with you at all.  For most of us whatever the party affiliation (if you have one at all) there's no power grab, there's not malicious intent, there's no scheming evil genius.  The arguing isn't because you don't care, it because you *do*.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_260hcu", "post_id": "260hcu", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/25xzoz/my_friend_just_bought_a_foreclosed_house_he_found/chm214y", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/260hcu/uactionscripter9109_and_uthe_lolbster_have_a_long/", "post_created_utc": 1400570844, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "chmpp1m", "answer_comment_name": "t1_chmpp1m", "answer_score": 11, "answer_created_utc": 1400602332}}

In our current system (in the US) wages are so low and jobs so scarce that potential employees are faced with the decision of accepting a shitty job or trying to survive with no job at all.  This is not even close to a fair labor market since one side, the employer, holds almost all of the bargaining power.  Basic income balances the labor market by allowing workers to just walk away from employers who refuse to offer a fair wage and good working conditions.  Now employers need to provide positive incentive instead of just being slightly less shitty than the people next door.\n\nA huge swath of labor regulations are now obsolete.  Minimum wage doesn't matter at all, workplace safety has to be real instead of simply better than the bare minimum, sexual harassment is easier to punish, same with racism (since people can much more easily just walk away), the list goes on.  \n\nAdditionally, people would have more free time to be politically and socially active.  Those who want to dedicate themselves to a cause can do so without fear of losing their homes, so we would likely see far more citizen participation in politics.\n\nThe trickle up effects of basic income are enormous and deeply threatening to the established order, which is why we probably won't see it in the US anytime soon.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_27pyoa", "post_id": "27pyoa", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/BasicIncome/comments/27ijn6/basic_income_vs_the_false_god_of_economy/?context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/27pyoa/uignirtoq_explains_how_ideal_free_markets_dont/", "post_created_utc": 1402341420, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "ci3b186", "answer_comment_name": "t1_ci3b186", "answer_score": 100, "answer_created_utc": 1402348556}}
{"question_title": "/u/TheTalkingFist gives a comprehensive run down on exactly why Brazilians oppose the world cup", "body": "As a fellow Brazilian, I must say his reaction is understandable, indeed, but like most reactions it is misguided at it's heart. Hosting the World Cup was, indeed, a bad idea from our current government, but the scale of spending is grossly misunderstood. As he said, thirty billion reais (about ten billion dollars) have been invested in work related to the Cup, but, in the same six-year span, over eight hundred billion reais (about 270 billion dollars) have been spent in health and education. \n\nSo, why are public healthcare and education still in bad shape? Because they were never in good shape to begin with. Brazil was ruled by a right-wing military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985, and, while other countries were developing their public hospitals and schools, Brazil was running factories on taxpayer money *and* lent US money, leaving healthcare and education to private interests. We also spent most of the 80s paying back the debt we accrued during the military \"rapid growth\" period. We had a huge economic reform in the 90s, and only in the 2000s could our development begin anew.\n\nHe also mentioned Bolsa Família, one of our conditional social assistance programs. He says it \"gives\" people 140 reais a month so they can get out of extreme poverty, but doesn't improve their education, healthcare, security, or anything else. Well, the condition for receiving Bolsa Família is, precisely, having a child in school. Are public schools shitty? Yes, they are, but it is much easier to \"climb\" out of poverty with the bare minimum of education. Likewise, we have a public health system. Is it shitty? Yes, it is, but having a (for now) shitty public hospital in a poor town is still much better than having just a \"pai-de-santo\" or \"pajé\". It is also much better than certain countries with no public healthcare, where you can go bankrupt because of treatables diseases...\n\nI agree with some of his other points, such as police behavior and favela \"cleaning\", but political corruption completely misses the mark. He only mentions the corruption in the ruling party (which is a problem, but not one as grave as he made it out to be), although the right-leaning opposition is, in fact, much worse. Brazilian media, however, is mostly an anti-government oligopoly, and only covers the corruption within PT. In fact, our Senate recently approved a law forbidding third-party donations to political campaigns, valid from next year onwards. Most of the anti-government sentiment seen in Brazilians such as OP is just a result of poor socio-historical knowledge combined with a media strongly aligned with right-wing interests.

{"question_title": "/u/BBlasdel on why drinking a lot of whiskey can save your life if you get wood alcohol (methanol) poisoning", "body": "A pretty good rebuttal\n\n[–]virnovus [score hidden] 12 minutes ago\n\n*sigh*\n\n    Most people produce an alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme in our livers designed to break down ethanol into acetaldehyde, which then gets processed and excreted by your metabolism in a very water dependent manner.\n\nNo, acetaldehyde is then oxidized into acetic acid, which your body can use for energy, which is why it doesn't build up in your system. Ethanol actually has more usable calories per gram than sugar.\n\n    (where the dehydration component of hangovers comes from)\n\nNo, ethanol blocks the pituitary gland's synthesis of vasopressin:\n\nhttp://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/drugs-alcohol/hangover2.htm\n\n    It is a system that works pretty great for addressing ethanol toxicity, so long as you aren’t to dedicated to it, but the problem with methanol is that the system works pretty great on it to, only it makes a very different product with the same reaction, formaldehyde.\n\nWhich is almost immediately oxidized into formic acid, before it can do much damage to your body.\n\n    Acute formaldehyde toxicity literally plasticizes you, by binding your macromolecules together into ever increasingly impossible to break apart single massive molecules. This is why formaldehyde makes such a fantastic preservative.\n\nFor dead tissue, yes. Living organisms deal with formaldehyde by oxidizing it into formic acid. However, this technique works much better on acetaldehyde than formaldehyde, as we will soon see.\n\n    Eyes and gonads are the most sensitive to this, and so go first, which is where the trope of blind mountain men who accidentally make methanol with their moonshine comes from.\n\nNot quite. Remember how formaldehyde is oxidized into formic acid? Well, unlike acetic acid which your cells can use for energy, formic acid just sits around in your cells making them more and more acidic. Your kidneys can flush the formic acid out eventually, but if the levels get too high, the acidity can damage your tissues. You know where formic acid got its name? Because it's the major component of ant venom. So that's the stuff that damages your optic nerve, not the formaldehyde directly. This is referred to as metabolic acidosis.\n\n    Methanol toxicity is a much bigger problem with homebrew distilled spirits than other homebrew for two primary reasons, it is a lot easier to ferment methanol if you are using cheap ingredients (which people who just want to distill cheap booze will do), and because the ratio of methanol to ethanol is at least as important as the absolute concentration of methanol involved.\n\nNo, methanol toxicity is not a problem for home distillers, unless they get it so hot that the leftover shit at the bottom turns into charcoal, effectively pyrolyzing the cellulose that's left over from whatever they were fermenting. This would mostly be a problem when making liquors like grappa, that are more solid than liquid.\n\n    Indeed, if you ever get methanol poisoning the standard of care had always been use whiskey to flood the system with ethanol.\n\nBecause formic acid is only toxic if it builds up to levels where the acidity causes a problem. If formaldehyde was the problem, then giving ethanol wouldn't do anything, because that methanol would eventually be oxidized into formaldehyde anyway, it would just be postponed.\n\n    Formaldehyde is profoundly efficient at causing this specific defect in mitosis, so we are incredibly sensitive to even small amounts of it, especially when applied chronically.\n\nTrue, in vitro. In vivo, organisms generally have specialized organisms to deal with these chemicals, like the liver.\n\n    Also remember, your liver makes [methanol = formaldehyde] almost mole for mole unless there is a lot of ethanol keeping your liver from doing its thing, giving your kidneys time to slowly let you piss out unprocessed methanol.\n\nThe thing that does you in from methanol poisoning is metabolic acidosis, which is caused by formic acid, not cancer or any of the other things that you've associated with formaldehyde. That being said, methanol is still toxic, it's just that it's an acute toxin, not a chronic toxin. Low levels of methanol (like 0.1%) are not dangerous, and indeed, fruit, wine, beer, and many other foods contain low levels of methanol.\n\n    DON'T FUCKING DRINK THE MOONSHINE UNLESS YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE FUCKING DOING, AND NO, KNOWING TO TOSS THE HEADS IS NECESSARY BUT NOT THE LEAST BIT FUCKING SUFFICIENT FOR \"UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU'RE FUCKING DOING.\"\n\nYou're REALLY overstating the danger, at least if you use a liquid wash.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_29rsro", "post_id": "29rsro", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/29qpfk/my_house_was_built_in_1929_this_was_hanging_in/cint52n?context=2", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/29rsro/ubblasdel_on_why_drinking_a_lot_of_whiskey_can/", "post_created_utc": 1404420469, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cio2xrh", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cio2xrh", "answer_score": 54, "answer_created_utc": 1404439106}}

{"question_title": "pageboysam discusses Chinese dialects and their convergence", "body": "I would make 3 corrections.\n\n1) The decisions to have a standard dialect based on Beijing dialect wasn't made by the communists in the 1950s.  It was made by the nationalists in the 1930s.  This is why the same Mandarin that is standard in mainland china is also standard in Taiwan, because the decision was made before the split.  As it happens, the capital of the Republic of China at the time of the decision was not Beijing but was Nanjing.  This was because northern china at the time was controlled by warlords, politically unstable, and too close to Japanese controlled northeast china.  They chose Beijing dialect to be the golden standard dialect anyways, because for the last 500 years or so, Beijing had for the most part been China's capital, and historical Chinese official dialects had been based on Beijing dialect.  While standardizing the language, for the most part the new Guoyu was based on Beijing dialect but they added some exceptions as well.  When the communists took over they continued this process without major alterations in course.  I heard from a semi-reliable source that when the nationalists were having their vote in the 1930s on which dialect to choose to be their standard, Beijing dialect won a narrow victory over Chongqing-Chengdu dialect.  I believe that the support for Chongqing-Chengu dialect was due to the view that it was a compromise between northern and southern chinese dialects, and it was an effort to wrest some power away from the city of Beijing.\n\n2) What you call \"mandarin\", in chinese is called \"Pu tong hua\", which means \"normal speak\", also refered to as \"guo yu\" which means \"national language\".  Normally, putonghua/guoyu = mandarin.  However, I believe that western linguists use the term slightly differently.  According to linguists, mandarin is the language/dialect used in northern china and Sichuan.  According to this technical linguistic definition of \"mandarin\", there's a ton of dialects within mandarin itself.  The aforementioned Chongqing-Chengdu dialect that almost became the nation's standard language is considered by linguists to be a sub branch of mandarin, despite the fact that it is pretty different from \"mandarin\" as in guoyu/putonghua.  \n\n2.1) Even without the standardization, if you spoke \"beijing dialect\", you wouldn't have much trouble speaking with most people in northern china, although there certainly are differences.  In other words, even without standardization, \"mandarin\" would still be the most commonly used language in china.  It's not just Beijing dialect.  If the linguists call it a subgroup of \"mandarin\", then a Beijinger, or any other guy from northern china, would be able to understand it.  I would say the exception to this is Chongqing-Chengdu dialect, which the linguists say is a part of \"mandarin\", but according to my personal experience, definitely is not.  \n\n2.2) Because of (2.1), you can see why, even putting aside historical factors, Beijing dialect is a good choice.  Part of the reason why \"mandarin\" is so widespread (before it even became the official language), is because northern china is a plain, southern china is more mountainous and has more rivers and such.  \"Mandarin\" is spoken in similar forms throughout northern china, but Shanghai dialect is only spoken around Shanghai, Nanjing is right across the damn river from Shanghai but Nanjing has it's own dialect that only Nanjing people speak.  The most common southern dialect is Guangzhou dialect, aka Cantonese, which is spoken in HK, Macau, and a decently sized swathe of southern china.\n\n3) All chinese uses the same writing system, but the different dialects all have their own unique words, characters, and grammatical constructions.  You can speak in cantonese, as well as write in cantonese.  If a mandarin speaker were to try to listen to spoken cantonese, he/she would understand like 0% of it.  However, if the same mandarin speaker were to read cantonese, he/she would be able to understand quite a bit more, but still not the thing completely.  The dialects share a ton of words, just as english and dutch share a ton of words, but the words that are shared are pronounced differently, and besides that there are a lot of words that are not shared.  However, it's easier for people of different chinese dialects to read each other's in-dialect writings than it is for an english reader to read dutch, this is because dutch and english words are both spelled based on pronunciation, but chinese has its ideographic characters which transcend pronunciation.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_29x3s8", "post_id": "29x3s8", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/woahdude/comments/29w5ef/shanghai_china_the_most_populated_city_on_the/cip72uu", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/29x3s8/pageboysam_discusses_chinese_dialects_and_their/", "post_created_utc": 1404591292, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cipgex9", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cipgex9", "answer_score": 23, "answer_created_utc": 1404604088}}

{"question_title": "/u/snickeringshadow breaks down the problems with Jared Diamond's treatment of the Spanish conquest and Guns, Germs, and Steel in general", "body": "This sort of thing annoys me. This guy is doing what many academics do, especially when it is something in their wheel house. His detailed knowledge of the specifics is such that he has picked apart many particular details while ignoring what the actual scope of the argument being made actually is. That is, he is missing the forest for the trees. He has selectively highlighted every *particular* example where he feels Diamond is wrong, but then essentially leaps to a very misguided conclusion about the point Diamond was actually trying to make.\n\nDiamond is essentially saying that the very things that gave Europeans victory in their colonial conquests were emphatically *not* inherent superiority, but basically a set of conditions that amounted to pure blind luck. Their technology gave them an advantage, but their technology was not a result of some unique genius, but rather an accident of history and geography. Their accidental history gave them an advantage in terms of the exchange of diseases when they encountered native populations. These two advantages are what gave them an edge in what otherwise would have been a fair fight. Thus, his point is that the Europeans won not because they were inherently better *but because they had two lucky but critical advantages*. \n\nWhen snickeringshadow tries to downplay the significance of these advantages, he makes many good points, and highlights many errors that Diamond made, and that is important. But where snickeringshadow goes wrong is going to the opposite extreme of simply rejecting the hypothesis out of hand. The fact is that if we accept snickeringshadows narrative, the end result is that it just replaces technological superiority on the part of the colonial powers with one of *political* superiority. That is, now that technology is apparently a non factor, it appears as if the Europeans are almost Machiavellian geniuses in playing native populations off against one another in order to subjugate entire continents and exploit the peoples and lands for all that it is worth.After all, the native populations were playing politics too, and trying to use the Europeans to their own ends, yet the vast majority of them ended up on the losing side of that game. Does this make native populations look better? Is this a *less* Eurocentric view? If anything, it makes Europeans look much more cunning than the Diamond hypothesis, and makes one think that the European colonial powers must really have been different from the natives to so masterfully manipulate their regional politics in order that a much smaller population might end up with political dominance over a vastly larger one.  \n\nNow, there is no question that the political scheming was a major part of the success of the colonial powers. Indeed, it was a pretty explicit part of British colonial strategy for example. However, unless we beleive that the native peoples the colonial powers encountered were complete political ignoramuses, which we have no real reason to think, then we still have to explain how it is that the Spanish came to dominate Mesoamerica, or how the British dominated India. So what is the explanation for this if not technology and disease? What is the alternative hypothesis? If it *is* technology and disease, then perhaps rather than selectively challenging the points where Diamond was clearly wrong, one should point out all the errors yet also note the cases in which it was correct. \n\nDiamond, like virtually all popular science writers, overstates his case and simplifies the reality in order to make a more readable book. This isn't really good science or good history, but that is the nature of popular academic writing. Most of what snickeringshadow seems to have a beef with is really the trappings of this particular brand of literary writing. In some cases, that sort of writing really does result in not just minor inaccuracies, but complete untruths. In this case, I think snickeringshadow has highlighted inaccuracies, but hasn't really challenged the general thrust of what Diamond was trying to say, and the *only* important thing about Guns, Germs and Steel is that general thrust, not the particulars. Yes, for the general thrust to be valid, there have to be particulars that support it, but I don't feel snickeringshadows is being intellectually rigorous here. They are being intellectually *critical*, which is not the same thing. The fact is, Diamonds explanation remains the most compelling one I've ever encountered, and despite so much picking at the edges, I think the core remains in tact. In particular, I have a hard time abandoning it as an explanation when there is no better alternative that has been proposed to replace it.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2bxjlj", "post_id": "2bxjlj", "post_url": "http://np.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/2bv2yf/guns_germs_and_steel_chapter_3_collision_at/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2bxjlj/usnickeringshadow_breaks_down_the_problems_with/", "post_created_utc": 1406540292, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cja0jfw", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cja0jfw", "answer_score": 154, "answer_created_utc": 1406557795}}

{"question_title": "/u/anthropology_nerd writes an extensive critique on Diamond's arguments in Guns, Germs and Steel regarding lifestock and disease", "body": "I think this post perfectly illustrates while historians fail to capture the popular imagination, leaving room for scientists like Jared Diamond to publish.  A common perception of of historians is that all of their criticisms can be boiled down to \"it's more complicated than that,\" and that view is on full display in anthro_nerd's post.  From a standpoint of narrow academic rigor, these specific criticism are valuable; however, antro_nerd's main failing comes when he refuses to offer up any sort of cohesive explanation.  \n\nThe stated goal of GG&S is to explain why Europeans were able to conquer most of the world.  Diamonds model of geographical determinism provides an intriguing alternative to the Eurocentric explanations many Westerners were taught in school.  Of course his model won't be 100% predictive, but scientists understand that this isn't necessary.  There is a common saying in science that \"all models are wrong, but some are useful.\"  It's *better* when the model has a rigorously understood underpinning, but as long as a model makes useful predictions then it merits discussion.\n\nAt a certain level, I think the disagreements come down to fundamental differences between science and history.  Scientists are frequently required to make predictions, which often requires generalization from available evidence.  Historians are rarely called upon to make predictions, so they can narrow their focus down to the facts.  It's certainly much harder for historians to make predictions given that they generally can't perform a controlled experiments, so it's entirely reasonable that they might avoid generalization.  Still, I think there is value to Jared Diamonds analysis; even if his explanation isn't the most academically rigorous, I think the hypothesis offers a very useful way of thinking about history.\n\nAs an aside, I'm also unconvinced by antro_nerds section on modern zoonotic diseases.  As antro_nerd stated, if a disease was originally transferred from livestock to humans, we would expect the transfer to happen somewhat earlier in human history.  By the present time, humans and livestock have basically shared all of their endogenous pathogens.  It stands to reason that modern zoonotic diseases would originate from animals with which humans have had more limited contact.  As such, the fact that modern zoonotic diseases come from wildlife isn't a good argument against livestock to human transmission in the distant past.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2ci54p", "post_id": "2ci54p", "post_url": "http://np.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/2cfhon/guns_germs_and_steel_chapter_11_lethal_gift_of/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2ci54p/uanthropology_nerd_writes_an_extensive_critique/", "post_created_utc": 1407076071, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cjfsqof", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cjfsqof", "answer_score": 68, "answer_created_utc": 1407086466}}

It wasn't nearly as widespread, but it did exist prior. The British announced they would withdraw 9 months before the partition plan passed, in February 1947.\n\n>The arab world was unified in their opposition to Israel and pretty much every single country attacked it simultaneously: Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.\n\nWhile Lebanon contributed, it ultimately backed out of the war the day before it was slated to begin. They gave troops to some degree, but refused to follow through on an invasion via their own forces, and instead fought mostly defensively when Israel followed the Arab Liberation Army forces back to Lebanon during Operation Hiram in October 1948.\n\nThe post overall gives barely any mention of Israeli-Palestinian fighting during the Civil War that lasted roughly 6 months, and how Israel effectively won the civil war before the Arab states invaded.\n\n>Israel bought and received most of its military equipment at this time from the UK and from other WW2 surplus equipment from across europe.\n\nNotable is the Czech deal, which really provided the Israelis with what they needed to fight and win.\n\n>In the ramp up to the full scale attack by the arab countries, 700,000 out of the 1.2M arab palestinians fled.\n\nUnfortunately, this completely ignores any expulsions happening, which is mentioned nowhere in the thread.

Some were still expelled or had their land seized for what Israel deemed military necessity.\n\n>One of the weird aspects of this issue, one that I don't quite understand and maybe someone knowledgable from the arab side of the argument can fill this in, is that while Israel did nothing for the palestinian refugees of the arab attack on Israel, the arab world did nothing for them either\n\nI am not from the Arab side, I am actually typically the one arguing pro-Israel when it comes to politics (though not history, I try to just represent what the books say as best I can, though even they have slants), but the typical thinking is that these states didn't view Palestinians as imperative to satisfy. They had territorial goals, and they went into the war with Israel looking to satisfy their goals, not just remove Israel. That lack of coordination was partially why Israel won: the Arab states had failed to unify around a plan they could adhere to, each wanting different parts of the area and to do different things with what they seized.\n\n>Furthermore, even the Jordanians and Egyptians were not particularly fond of the palestinians- the Jordanians in particular cracked down on palestinian national movements extremely brutally and in one event called \"Black September\" massacred up to tens of thousands of palestinian civilians (the numbers are highly disputed).\n\nThe Jordanians in particular had a hard time with the Palestinians. They not only got the majority of the refugees, they also felt that *they* were the Palestinian state and thus were entitled to the area of Israel. As such they worked very hard to try and erase any \"Palestinian\" national identity among the refugees, and assimilate them into Palestinian society. It didn't really work, and the Jordanians have always been mildly afraid that the Palestinians would take over Jordan (they form 60% of the country now, I believe) in pursuit of reuniting all of \"Greater Palestine\" as it was before the British split the two after receiving the Mandate in 1920.\n\n>Between 1948 and 1951 roughly 700,000 jews left other countries around the middle east, north africa, and asia, for Israel.\n\nNot really. Europe had a decent amount come along as well, detracting from the \"700,000\" number. Many were displaced persons, especially refugees from the Holocaust days, from Europe; not just the Arab states. Between 1947 and 1951, roughly 686,000 Jews had arrived in Israel from around 70 different countries. 123,000 from Iraq, 118,000 from Romania, 45,000 from Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, 37,000 from Bulgaria, 34,000 from Turkey, and so on and so forth.\n\nThis is after a quick skim at 2AM. I'm sure there's more I could expand on, but this should be a nice start. I've written a 3-post thing on this in /r/AskHistorians before, but I'm thinking maybe it's time for a redux so I can add even more, and ensure that crucial facts (at least, in my opinion) like those that the poster missed aren't missed by all.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2cyifg", "post_id": "2cyifg", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalDiscussion/comments/2cvsvb/if_youre_someone_who_feels_israel_is_unfairly/cjjxxq5", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2cyifg/utuna_hp_gives_an_thorough_explanation_of_the/", "post_created_utc": 1407478676, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cjkdfk6", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cjkdfk6", "answer_score": 31, "answer_created_utc": 1407489610}}

Therefore I will do the only appropriate thing and respond with my own rambly, incoherent comment.\n\nThe essence of OP's comment seems to be that he thinks misplaced youth are more likely to take risks and are attracted to the violent, revolutionary (really reactionary, but lets not quibble) nature of the IS. I think that it is a fair though somewhat obvious observation given that displaced young men have been attracted to radical groups since time immemorial. After all, if you can't succeed *in* society you might as well violently dismantle it. And hey, if you don't die along the way, you just might happen to end up as one of the powerful leaders of the new world you just forged in blood, that's all just a great happy coincidence! Such is the risk and reward of using violence as a means to an end. \n\nIn fact, I think the reason we haven't had truly successful revolutions in the U.S. for ages is because we really are so well off. Most of our self-proclaimed revolutionaries are materially well off middle class students who have plenty to lose and a support network to fall back on. They have all the testosterone but none of the real existential threat that drives people to risk their lives. They fight because they are idealists, and because fighting The Man is sexy and brings its own set of rewards that doesn't feel like \"selling out\" even though nothing of substance is ever accomplished. In a weird sort of way I have more respect (but also more hatred) towards members of IS because they are apparently willing to die for their cause. It's unfortunate that their cause is so utterly without merit. \n\nI suspect the world will always have some group somewhere like IS, or at least college anarchists, because the world will always have youth that want to shake things up, youths who are at the right age where testosterone combines with *just* enough knowledge to justify be angry at the apparent injustice of the world, but too little to be aware of the scope of their own ignorance and the many shortcomings of their own ideas. There is nothing more romantic than fighting for a pure *idea* that one hasn't had the experience to see sullied by that pesky and uncooperative thing called reality. IS is learning a bit about that reality as the world begins to wake up and become aware of the nuisance. A nuisance that members of IS think, somewhat naively perhaps but not *entirely* untruthfully, will reshape the world. It just won't be in the way they imagine. It never is.

{"question_title": "/u/jaquestrap on how the British and French failed the Poles during WW2.", "body": "So [this post](http://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/2fjgyv/with_headquarters_in_poland_the_united_kingdom/cka0p6t) is full of numerous falsehoods and is frankly, quite misleading. \n\nLets take it point by point\n\n> No, this was the established plan of operations that British, French, and Polish military command had developed in the months leading up to the conflict, based on significant levels of espionage, strategic discussion and development, troop training, armament, and even troop deployment. The Western forces were deployed to follow this exact plan, this was actually all outlined in the military treaties and agreements the French and British had made with Poland in the years and months leading up to the war.\n\nOkay I have no idea what /u/jaquestrap is talking about here. The guarantee of Poland was a fairly spontaneous event in response to German aggression against Czechoslovakia. And the British and French plan reflected that. The French didn't have a concrete plan to attack in 1939, or even 1940. The French commander was a stuffy old man named Maurice Gamelin. He developed what's called the \"Dyle Plan\" which was essentially a plan where by the French and British would rush into Belgium and take up positions along the Dyle River. From here they would go into defensive positions and let the Germans wear themselves down (while the British strangled the German economy through blockading) and then the allies would finally launch their offensive sometime in 1941-1942. The Polish plan was essentially to defend the Eastern part of their country, which is very rough, defensible terrain, until the British and French came to their rescue. \n\n> The rearmament rate of the German military was rapid, however it had yet to surpass the men, material, tanks, artillery, and aircraft of the Western forces in 1939--it wouldn't surpass their levels for another year. German rearmament wasn't even going to be complete by the standards that German generals had requested for a potential conflict with France and Britain until 1941. Even at the time of the Invasion of France in 1940, the French and British militaries in France outnumbered and outgunned that of Germany's military, 144 divisions to Germany's 141, only being surpassed in the number of military aircraft.\n\nSee this is also misleading, because many allied divisions were from Belgium and the Netherlands, who while brave fighters, couldn't hope to compete against the German army; add in that the Dutch surrendered relatively quickly and Germany quickly regains the lead in numbers. But numbers aren't everything, he fails to mention that the German army was well trained and was far more experienced than their French and British counterparts. I also don't know where he is getting those numbers from, Julian Jackson (one of the most renowned historians on the French in WW2) puts the numbers as 136 vs 135 in favour of the Allies, with the French only contributing 76 divisions.\n\nAs for the claim about aircraft. I have no clue what this poster is talking about. The French airforce was a disgrace, it was so bad that in 1938 the head of the French air force, General Vuillemin, sent a note to the French PM in Munich, telling him that France effectively \"had no air force\". Germany pretty much always held the advantage in terms of quantity and quality. I'd also point out that while France was rearming at an impressive rate, much of the equipment never made it to the French soldiers. \n\nNow what /u/jaquestrap said about the British and French having more tanks, and especially better quality tanks is true. But as I'm sure we all know, quality and numbers only count for so much when you don't know how to use them. I won't go too indepth to this, and I'll simply paste this AskHistorians post that covers the subject well:\n\n> Now any advantages the French may have had in regards to tanks or artillery, they threw away by misusing them. The traditional story is one I am sure everyone is familiar with: “France didn't know how to use its tanks, it wasn't a modern army like Germany”. This argument while true in some regards, also ignores the fact that the French had once been innovators, and actually had a fairly modern army. In the 1930's the French created one of the first standing armoured divisions, known as a “Light Mechanized Division (DLM)” which was meant to do the the traditional roles of cavalry, the cavalry divisions were upgraded to be a mixture of modern armoured vehicles and traditional horse based cavalry. In late 1938 they created two heavy tank divisions called “Divisions Cuirassées de Réserve” (DCRs), they ended up building two more. So the problem wasn't that the relevant forces for modernization didn't exist, the problem is that they didn't take hold as thoroughly as in Germany. Of France's nearly 3000 tanks, only 960 were deployed on their own, the rest being spread out to support the infantry. The Germans meanwhile concentrated nearly all of their tanks into independent units. Also, where as the Germans concentrated their independent tank divisions into a solid armoured mass, the French spread out their independent tank divisions, which ensured that no commander would have a solid mass of tanks to oppose the German ones.\nFrance hadn't abandoned the attack entirely, and was still committed to offensives, but the French army had to adopt to its countries changing demographics. France's birthrate had not kept up with Germany's and France faced a real manpower shortage. This can best be seen in the Maginot Line which was France's attempt to funnel the Germans into Belgium and to minimize the amount of French troops needed to hold off the Germans\n\nThe poster also seems to be under the impression that there was some grand offensive planned in 1939, and that those evil, greedy Western politicians decided at the last moment to call it off for reasons. Had Britain and France launched an offensive in 1939 it would have been very un-coordinated and could have turned very badly, very quickly. Maybe it would have turned it out well, but that's getting into armchair general territory and hindsight territory.\n\n> The Western troops were already deployed at the border with Germany, once deployed it should have taken less than a week to launch the already planned and prepared operations into German territory. Nothing happened because British and French political leaders twiddled their thumbs and didn't want to get involved in a conflict that wasn't affecting them. That is not an excuse, that is a betrayal.\n\nI haven't read of any concrete offensives that took place outside of the very small Saar Offensive, I'd love to read about those plans, because I doubt they were ever concrete. \n\nAs for some sources, well I have to recommend \"The Fall of France\" by Julian Jackson.

And indeed the Mediterranean was unified by the Romans. But why is the Mediterranean *now* fragmented into a bunch of different states, whereas Russia still monolithic over a much larger and more climatically diverse area?\n\nI think that the better way to approach this is to note that the central Asian steppes are really isolated. It's hard to connect this part of the world by trade to the rest of civilization (yes, the Silk Road passed through here, but that's the point; it was a grand undertaking, compared to seaborne trade routes). At the same time, unlike the center of Africa, this land is relatively flat and allows armies to pass through with relative ease. Hence, the area ends up being inhabited by relatively \"unsophisticated\" cultures that can be bowled over by a unifying power, like the Mongols or later the Russian Empire.\n\nThough this doesn't help explain why China, which encompasses a huge stretch of coastline, has throughout history been politically more unified than not. In my opinion, China poses a problem for many of these geographical explanations of history.

{"question_title": "/u/47140 explains the meaning of Shariah Law", "body": "I wish it were possible to get a in-depth description that didn't have apologetic dimensions. You can tell when the speaker moves from description to rationalization and defence: e.g. harsh punishments are deterrents: \n\n>\"I'm sure as hell less likely to have a one night stand if there's even a 1% chance I'm going to get stoned (not in the marijuana sense). It also makes the seriousness of the crime apparent.\" \n\nThese can be marshalled as common explanations given by advocates of Shariah law, and therefore are the *Islamic* explanation ... but they are wholly empirical. Even a quick Wikipedia search outlines that, in general, [research]( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterrence_(legal)  indicates the severity of the punishment is less important than the certainty of getting caught. The way the speaker presents these rationalizations as plausible or credible comes off as apologetic (or ignorant). A more complete answer would recognizes these policies as ineffective or incomplete. Likewise with social inequalities. Take a look at this follow up answer to this question:\n\n>Subjugation of women in Islam included only valuing their testimony half as much as a man's, giving them only half as much inheritance, allowing men to marry 4 women without needing prior wives's permission, making divorce for men much easier than for women, placing a HUGE emphasis on female modesty and using slut shaming to enforce it, and having the Koran give specific instructions to husbands on how to beat their wives. There is also the issues of Mohammed giving his men permission to rape AND impregnate women captured during war, and he himself raping a war captive.\n>>**AS far as testimony being half of that of men's, this is true in only one subsection of being a witness.\nAs far as inheritance, this is due to men being given the responsibility for the upkeep of their female relatives.**\nModesty is emphasized for both men and women. The punishments for adultery and premarital intercourse is equivalent for men and women. **The only difference really is what is normally covered. I do agree that women are required to cover more than men. In Islam, that is what God has ordered.**\nNo, the Qur'an does not give any instructions on how to beat their wives.\nRape is not allowed in Islam.\n\nThese issues are clearly matters of justice. It is perfectly fine to describe  them as just within a specific Islamic conception of justice. Instead, the differences are minimized: \n>testimony being half of that of men's, this is true in only one subsection of being a witness \n\nWhy not describe the general rule and the exception rather than point out there is *only* one exception? Men are given the responsibility for the upkeep of their female relatives - OK, that seems a straight-up old-fashioned patriarchy. So, just describe it as patriarchal. Yes, that word has a negative connotation, but the way to make it more accurate would be to say it is a religiously ordained patriarchy. Don't back track into \"In Islam, this is what God has ordered\" as if there actually is a God and this is actually what was \"ordered\".\n\nHonestly, it's a good starter on Shariah law, but I sincerely wish those who comment on Islamic issues control for their apologetic tendencies.

Most people don't know about the depreciation or tax credits, so once they find out and my sales agents educate them, there is almost a 90% closing rate for customers. \n\n$3.00/watt is a great price for a solar installation, and then combined with a 10 year to 25 year loan, solar is a great investment for a commercial or residential installation.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2h42jc", "post_id": "2h42jc", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2h2ldf/solar_panels_cost_less_than_electricity_from/ckp1850?context=1", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2h42jc/u13special_describes_the_process_to_calculate_the/", "post_created_utc": 1411378573, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "ckpbzoq", "answer_comment_name": "t1_ckpbzoq", "answer_score": 5, "answer_created_utc": 1411397735}}

{"question_title": "/u/iminalotoftrouble discusses the Muslim view of the the previous revelations to Moses and Jesus", "body": "I'm reposting it here without <subhanu wata'ala> because it made reading it difficult for me:\n\n>Muslim here. I'm not an academic by any means, but I think I might be able to offer a bit to the discussion.\n\n>The book of Allah that came down to Isa(Jesus) is referred to as the Injil, or the Gospel. To be clear, this is not the New Testament that we know, Isa preached from the Injil, it was revealed to him. The Injil was lost, but Isa  was the living embodiment of the message of Allah, just as the other messengers before/after him. The writings of the New Testament probably carry many accurate lessons/stories/etc of Isa, but we can't say the stories contained therein are 100% true. The whole point I'm trying to make is that the first statement of your title is inaccurate. The NT has never been considered the word of Allah. The NT is merely an oral tradition of some stories on Isa, much like the hadith are to Muhammad. While there are some hadith which are/contain the word of Allah (known as hadith qudsi), no one would ever consider Sahih Muslim or Sahih Bukhari the word of Allah. \n\n>That being said, Muslims are taught not to discredit the NT and the Torah altogether, because there is indeed truth in it. The danger is confusing the truth with falsehood. Muslims believe that \n\n>* The Qur'an is the untainted word of Allah\n* Any prophetic stories mentioned therein are true\n* Any prophetic stories mentioned within sahih hadith are, to the best of our ability, true. The classification/ranking of hadith, criticisms of isnad, etc is always subject to scrutiny. Different topic for a different time, however.\n\n>Therefore, with regards to the stories within the NT (and Torah), logic dictates that\n\n>* Any stories which conflict with Islamic tradition are fabrications (eg Isa was martyred)\n* Any stories that agree with Islamic tradition are truth (eg curing the lepers, reviving the dead)\n* Any stories that neither conflict nor agree with Islamic tradition can be considered as possible truths with an appropriate amount of research/scrutiny (eg afaik 3 gifts being given to Isa at his birth)\n\n>I'm currently reading through a book from Al Bidayah wan Nihayah series by Ibn Kathir titled \"Early Days\", which discusses the prophets in Islam from Adam to Yoonus (Jonah). Many of the stories contain components found from the NT and the Torah which fall within the 3rd category. Ibn Kathir is a well known scholar of Islam from the 14th century, we respect his works but also need to read what he includes from that 3rd category with a grain of salt as Islamic scholarship has grown and developed over the past 7 centuries. It's amazing to read Ibn Kathir's works and realize that there were many areas of murkiness that have since been clarified, and how said murkiness drove him to the decisions he made with regards to that 3rd category of stories he included in his works.\n\n>There are a lot of converts of Islam with Christian backgrounds that have gone on to become dedicated students of Islamic study. Many of these converts enjoy giving lectures on where \"the Bible got it wrong\" or however you want to phrase it. In case you're curious to hear some of those convert (specifically Christian to Muslim) speakers I mentioned, Jamal Zarabozo is a personal favorite though his video lectures tend to be more difficult to find. Yusuf Estes is a more mainstream example and you can find him all over youtube. Same with Yusha Evans, except he brings a more youthful approach. All 3 are academics of Islam in their own regard, and I have a lot of love for what each does.\n\n>Little editorial bit here. I honestly see nothing positive from a Muslim criticizing the NT line by line, pointing out the perceived corruptions. Will that bring me or you closer to Allah? Would that encourage you to convert to Islam? Negatory actions rarely do anything but cause friction and further divide. When the Qur'an warns of the corruption of the message of Isa, I don't take that as a criticism of Christianity. It's a warning of how easy it is to do something incorrectly with the best of intentions. A reminder that humanity waxes and wanes with our righteousness, and Allah will test us with worldly motivations. A mercy that even when humanity makes mistakes, Allah wants us so badly to succeed that He will send another messenger and enforce the preservation of the message since we humans can't seem to stop giving in to Shaytan. \n\n>I spent nearly a year researching the historicity of the NT. From what I read, current scholarship would agree that the taint of human hands is all over the NT; it's tough to make a sound argument otherwise. The beauty of my devout Christian friends is that, despite that, they're still so eager to find the nuggets of wisdom littered all through out the NT. That level of resilience, faith, passion, dedication... it's truly impressive. As a Muslim, I can't help but think \"man, if only they learned more of the beauty within Islam, they would be floored\". Allahualim (God knows best), but I sincerely believe that what you consider an offhand discreditation, I consider a window into my own psyche, my own soul. \n\n>Sorry if I used some terms here and there that you didn't understand, would be happy to clarify as time permits.

{"question_title": "/u/Chr0me on how \"Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, cash flow is reality.\"", "body": "Profit is an opinion, but cash is a fact\nEDIT after I read the post closer:\n\nRevenue is a very good way to measure the business relative to other businesses. Revenue captures all your costs and margins, and so measures your strength in the marketplace generally; higher revenues means a stronger company, generally. Apple has x revenue in handhelds compared to Google's y revenue - you can measure the strength of each business based on those two things alone. You can better understand their relative strength by breaking down profit: if they have similar costs but different profit, the one with lower profit is \"buying\" market share (based on number if devices held) at the expense of profit (and market share by revenue). \n\nCircling back to Revenues, a higher profit for the same number of handheld sales exhibits how Revenues measures general market strength: consumers are paying more for the thing (its mostly branding except to geeky nerds), so your handheld is stronger than your competitors, and a higher Revenue number reflects this.\n\nThe attached post is an Accountant's understanding of revenues, profits, and cash positions. A Financier's understanding of revenues, profits, and cash positions is massively more nuanced than the post, and requires a much more thorough discussion of the firm, opportunity costs, rates of return, and the interplay between qualitative and quantitative metrics.

{"question_title": "/u/vampatori details the qualities of Pi (1997) which he found most exceptional", "body": "I first saw this movie in middle school, in the theaters with my dad and my best friend, and I've seen it at least half a dozen more times since then.  My best friend even bought the soundtrack, which was put out by Warp records and had a lot of the best IDM artists of the period like Aphex Twin and Massive Attack.  That comment points out a lot of great things, but misses one thing I'd point out, which is the actual dialogue (and monologue), and particularly how the dialogue (and monologue) fit into the story.  For an example of the latter, I feel like a lot of films try to tack on a \"spiritual element\" where the characters briefly discuss God and mysticism as a brief diversion from the main plot in order to show \"thoughtfulness\" and \"depth\".  But here, we have a Hasid discussing gematria (Jewish numerology) and oh wow our universe is numbers spirals, how spiritual and profound... and then the Hasidim are suddenly major drivers of the plot, not just as pious (or hypocritical religious) strawmen, but as something that fit organically into the arc of the movie.  It's a movie full of insightful conversions, like Linkater's \"Before\" movies or *Waking Life* or something, but all these conversations still serve the larger plot as it moves ever forward.  There are no diversions, even the idle chitchat with neighbors ends up being necessary for the story (and not just character development).\n\nBut I'd also point out how insightful some of the individual conversations are.  One of my favorites is the conversation between Sol (the mentor) and Max (the lone genius), where Max is fixating on a number and Sol says:\n\n>Hold on. You have to slow down. You're losing it. You have to take a breath. \n\n>Listen to yourself. You're connecting a computer bug I had with a computer bug you might have had and some religious hogwash. You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere.  320, 450, 22, whatever.  You have chosen 216, and you will find it everywhere in nature.  But Max, as soon as you discard scientific rigor, you're not longer a mathematician--you're a numerologist.\n\nThat actual looks rather flat on the page, but it comes alive when spoken in the movie.  [Here's the clip](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NUD8Z_cRh0).  As I've become a social scientist (I'm several years into a sociology PhD program), this scene has become a useful metanym for a thing I often want to discuss with my colleagues or students whenever they want to overgeneralize a pattern based on very weak data. \"Hey, you ever watched that movie *Pi*?  Cause there's this one scene...\"  It's the second most useful pop culture elucidator in my pocket  (the most useful remains the \"lingerie/white cotton underwear that's been washed a thousand times\" discussion in *High Fidelity* about relationship problems; [quote](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0146882/quotes?item=qt0377408)/[clip](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jSDoOldNuU)--I guess this is another scene about the problems rising from imperfect data).  This scene in *Pi* is just an easy way to explain the idea of, \"Look, what you're seeing... it might be real, but it also might just be because you're focusing on this and filtering all the other data out.\"  Every positive case is a confirmation, every negative case is background noise.  \n\nObviously, I'm not focused on numbers, but in my line of work, this concept most often comes up when people are discussing stereotypes: we never remember the Jew who is generous with money, the Black people who speak quietly on the bus, the Asian kid who gets average grades, the Muslim who is happy in America or Europe.  For minorities, we tend to remember individuals at the extreme ends of the distribution who reinforce a preconceived notion of ours, and in doing so, forget the vast majority of cases that don't fit in with that do nothing to prove that notion (one of the most frustrating things about public opinion data is that, in most things, even if groups slightly differ, we're mostly the same--even statistically significant differences are often mean substantively only slightly different probabilities).  This sort of [confirmation bias](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias) is of course discussed in other places, I just find the scene in *Pi* to be a useful way to start a casual discussion about it.\n\nIn conclusion, that movie is totally bomb and if anyone hasn't seen it yet and likes smart movies, go.

He presented a well-written argument,  but I'd like to offer another view. First and foremost, I was (and kind of am) a competitive gamer. For both fighting and puzzle games, I traveled to tournaments, competed at a mid-tier level, and felt both victory and defeat back in the day. \n\nWhen I started playing FFXI, it was a little later than most. Wings of the Goddess had just come out and level sync had just been introduced. Unlike the author's idea of mastery, I had a slightly different one: I wanted to be the best Puppetmaster on my server. I watched Youtube videos, I spent all of my money on upgrades, and I built up a reputation. I would figure out these lowman things I could do with my LS and I would execute them well around 8/10 tries. \n\nBut you know what I did most of the time? I grinded by myself while always having my looking for group flag up. Unless there were people that knew me online, I would almost never get invites. PUPs had a bad reputation in general, and while I did my best to change that, one bad PUP was often all it took.  I can't tell you how many times I made a single mistake only to be d2'd (warped) and kicked without being given time to even apologize.\n\nYou know one of my favorite moments? It was soon after Abyssea came out. A random person that I never met suddenly sent me a message and invited me out of the blue to a party. It was true he didn't need a PUP specifically, but I felt like I didn't have to struggle to get invited. I could do things in an alliance that didn't involve crappy dynamis runs. \n\nThe author presented the idea of accessibility, but he didn't realize the other meaning to it. Back in the day, certain things were simply inaccessible to certain classes unless you had a really great LS. Jobs like PUP, BST, BLU, and DNC were jobs that no one really wanted except in very niche situations. You might get to tag along, but you never were asked for unless you were like a senior LS member or you were amazing.\n\nAbyssea changed that. Suddenly, there was content that wasn't just restricted to the popular classes. Up until then, the only 'endgame' content I had run was Salvage (something the PUP could 'solo') and Dynamis. \n\nBy all means, I agree with the author in that Abyssea gear was probably overpowered and wrecked the game a little. But you know what I never got? I never got to have that 'feeling' that you get in raids. You know, when you fight a boss and you feel important. And then, when you finally defeat the boss, that piece of loot that is specific for your class drops. I would almost never be a PUP when that gear dropped: I'd be some other more 'raid-appropriate' class like WHM/SCH/MNK. \n\nBut when Abyssea happened? I finally got to feel that.

One of the big objections to slavery is that there is no way to receive fair consideration for the exchange, so there is no amount of compensation that is commensurate with being put into slavery. By contrast, certain organs have limited value to you as a human and can be removed with a [trivial effect on your long term health](http://umm.edu/programs/transplant/services/kidney/living-donor/faq#q6). Thus, the monetary compensation is not coming at a serious cost to yourself, so the argument that the trade is inherently unfair does not stand. Secondly, there is a social reason to want to ban slavery in that the practice itself can be argued to be socially corrosive, diminishing the relationship between employers and employees. A clear hierarchy is established between slaves and owners that diminishes our overall humanity as a people. No such loss occurs with the sale of my organ. I am not less of a person if I lose an organ from organ failure. I am not less of a person for selling an organ. \n\nAn additional problem with OP's argument has to do with collecting organs from the dead. Many people that die have organs that are not suitable for transplants. The best organs for transplants, and sometimes the only ones that are viable, are those taken from the living. Harvesting organs from those that die in car accidents and of natural is often either impractical or not viable. Many of those organs are harvested from living but brain dead patients. This is a very limited pool. Having living donors would dramatically increase that pool while also providing compensation to the donor. \n\nIn addition, I think that the moralism of OP's argument is essentially condescending. It is telling the poor that OP knows better how to manage their lives than they do. Essentially, OP is saying \"hey, I know what is right and wrong, and you don't, and your belief that it makes more sense for you to give up an organ for money that you may need is ill informed and morally dangerous.\" If anything is insulting to the poor, it is this attitude of knowing what is best for them. I say each individual is best situated to make that decision for themselves. If they think having $20,000 is better for them than having a kidney that has no impact on their health, that should be their decision to make, not mine.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2krfta", "post_id": "2krfta", "post_url": "http://np.reddit.com/r/EnoughLibertarianSpam/comments/2e89od/cmv_organ_sale_should_be_legalized_you_know_what/cjx31vr?context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2krfta/urandoff_gets_heavy_on_why_organ_markets_are/", "post_created_utc": 1414653604, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "clogd0d", "answer_comment_name": "t1_clogd0d", "answer_score": 28, "answer_created_utc": 1414696998}}

{"question_title": "/u/rumnscurvy provides a clear explanation for string theory", "body": "(sigh) this has been answered over and over. \n\nIf you don't find his answer particularly \"clear\"  or helpful, this comment by /u/panzerkampfwagen in an old thread is both concise and clear:\n\n> It says that at the smallest level, fundamental particles can be described by a vibrating string. Just as a guitar string plays a different note depending on the type of vibration, a string would be a different particle depending on how it was vibrating.\n\nThen you have slightly less concise but still clear, by /u/Null_Mutant_Tortoise and /u/GrenadeStankFace:\n\n> Everything in the universe is made up of fundamental particles: quarks, electrons, and other more uncommon ones. String theory says that these particles are all composed of smaller, vibrating, \"strings\" of energy, and different vibration patterns result in different particles.\n\n> They vibrate in 10 spacial dimensions. Don't hurt your brain by trying to visualize this too much. Certain vibrations correspond to certain mass, electric charge, particle spin, and other properties. These patterns are discrete, so its not a range of possible frequencies, rather data points of possible frequencies corresponding to certain elementary particles. Strings are like the notes to a song - the cosmic symphony.\n\nFurthermore, /u/serveroon makes some good points that are helpful in understanding string theory. \n\n>String theory is not really a scientific theory. In order for something to be called a theory, it must make testable predictions that have been borne out in many experiments, to the extent that most scientists regard it as likely to make correct predictions. Calling it a theory, therefore, is actually a misnomer. (And very unfortunate, because it encourages the wrong understanding of the term \"theory\".)\n\n>String \"theory\" is an attempt to create a model of reality that unifies both quantum mechanics (QM) and general relativity (GTR), two theories (both are actual, legitimate theories with predictive power). Until now, QM is a theory that can only make useful predictions in a particular \"domain\" (this is a fancy way of saying a set of scenarios), usually in which the scale of things (distances, energies, etc) involved are very, very small. GTR, on the other hand, is a theory that makes useful predictions in a domain typically associated with very large scales.\n\n>These two theories work pretty well, each covering the area they cover. This is because very massive things usually involve large distances, high energies, etc...when one thing is big, everything is big, and GTR has the answer. Very tiny distances, particles, etc, all operate on the small scale and QM can give the answer.\n\n>However, there are situations where neither theory can give us a useful answer...specifically, in the case of black holes. When a star collapses and forms a black hole, we now have a situation where a very large amount of mass and energy is condensed down into a very small amount of space. When we try to apply either GTR to figure out what's going on, we see certain inconsistencies in the model because of assumptions built into it that no longer apply. For the types of problems typically solved by GTR, these assumptions must hold or the model isn't useful.\n\n>The same goes for QM, except it operates on a different scale because it relies on different assumptions that hold at that scale but not elsewhere.\n\n>We know that there must be a model that can describe both sets of problems, because we can clearly see that the universe does actually allow black holes to exist...there's no denying that so something must be going on that follows some set of knowable laws. This model that we know must exist we call the theory of everything (TOE) or the grand unified theory (GUT). Unfortunately, we don't actually know what it is yet.\n\n>String \"theory\" is an attempt to simply invent, whole cloth, a model that describes the experimental results we already know about. The problem is, it turns out that if you're skilled enough with math, you can invent a model that does actually describe everything that's happened without capturing any deep insight about how those things actually happen. This model does indeed describe all the situations we already know about but has no useful predictive power.\n\n>This has been shown time and time again to be the case with string theory, every time string theorists make a prediction, the experiment turns out a different way than they thought. They go back and patch the model by incorporating this new result, and then say, \"Aha, now we've got it.\" (This is an oversimplification, but fundamentally captures what's been going on with it.)\n\n>I can make an analogy to math that might help make this clearer. Imagine I give you a sequence of numbers and ask you to continue the series. Let's say I give you 1, 2, 3, ... what comes next?\n\n>Most people would say 4, because they just figure I'm adding one each time. But there's no way of knowing if that's actually how I created this series. Maybe this is actually a list that starts with 1 followed by all the primes and it would continue 5, 7, 11, ... It turns out that there are actually an infinite number of functions that can generate the first three terms 1, 2, 3, but then after that go off in all kinds of crazy directions.\n\n>Moreover, it turns out that I can give you any finite sequence, no matter how long as long as it's not infinite, and if you're good enough at math you can continue creating functions that generate that sequence for all time. You'll always be able to find another function that generates that list of numbers and continues. While this might be a fun thing to do, if you're trying to discover the actual function I used to generate my sequence, sitting around and guessing functions out of an infinite number of possibilities will get you nowhere. When I give you the next term, there is almost no chance you guessed the right function and it will have predicted that term.\n\n>So this is like string \"theory\", which is essentially a mathematical model that generates the set of known results, but has not shown any predictive power yet.\n\nThough the question was asked in /r/Physics by a 'physics enthusiast' I don't see how it makes a good DepthHub submission.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2lqfic", "post_id": "2lqfic", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/2lnyvu/can_you_explain_string_theory_to_me_in_an_easy_way/clwjojn", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2lqfic/urumnscurvy_provides_a_clear_explanation_for/", "post_created_utc": 1415504864, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "clxaqxx", "answer_comment_name": "t1_clxaqxx", "answer_score": 36, "answer_created_utc": 1415516802}}

Brown's initial exchange with Wilson was because he and Dorian were walking down the middle of the street, and not on the sidewalks which were on either side of the street.  The officer briefly left, drove half a block, and then came back to them because Mike and Dorian fit the recently dispatched description of robbery suspects.   \n\nIn terms of the moments of the shooting, there is still stuff we don't know.  There have been several eye witnesses who have given their story on TV and those stories are very incriminating to Wilson, especially Dorian Johnson's and Tiffany Mitchell's, and protestors have ran with those accounts.

{"question_title": "/u/--__--__--__-- gives an excellent overview of the creative process, specifically in the context of writing poetry.", "body": "It's one way of looking at it, for sure. Don't get me wrong, this is excellent advice provided, but as far as I can tell it's a pretty formalized straight-ahead view of it.\n\nNote that this is from a person going to music school who is in the process of rejecting the entire \"become a professional musician\" process.\n\n/u/--__--__--__--'s process is excellent **if** you love poetry **and** you have no clue what kind of voice you are looking for yet. Same goes for the process music school puts you through.  If you love poetry as a concept and want to make \"poetry\" then her/his process will certainly work. But once you start developing a concept of what you want **your** poetry to work for, I propose a new process!\n\n    1. \"Visualize\"\n\nI put this in quotes because it's different for each art form. For visual art (paintings, sculptures, etc.) it's visualizing what you want it to look like. For music, it's hearing it in your head before you write it down. I'm sure there's an equivalent for poetry.\n\nThis is the hardest part of the damn process. At the start you'll inevitably end up ripping off stuff you've seen before because making something new is **hard**. But eventually your own style will start to shine through.\n\nThe reason this is so important is that, once you learn too many rules, that's how you start to think. Music is no longer \"I have these sounds in my head and I want to bring them into the world\", it becomes \"the rules of counterpoint say if I put this chord after this chord it will sound good\". And sure, it might, but it's still going to sound like \"proper\" counterpoint and thousands of students before you have done the exact same thing.\n\n    2. Write that shit down\n\nThis is where, in my opinon, /u/--__--__--__--'s advice is the most useful. Of course you can write your stuff down without doing her/his whole process, but that process will give you good tools for formalizing your own works. Music, you will have had the training to know what's in your head and it will be easier to get it from your head to the paper.\n\n    3. Evaluate\n\nThis is also a very hard thing to do. You need to look at your own work from as an objective a viewpoint as you can. Is it as good as you can make it? Is there filler material that should be cut? Should something be added? This is where sending it to friends to get second/third/fourth/... opinions is incredibly helpful. It might be a tad bit embarrassing, since art is a form of expression of yourself and you're sharing it with somebody else, asking them to criticize it. Trust me, though, it does get easier!\n\n    4. Repeat. Often.\n\nMusic students are encouraged to practice 3-5 hours a day, **as a minimum**. And even with that, unless you're some child-prodigy level performer, it's going to take you years until you get to a really proficient point[1]. For any art form, the more you practice the more solidified you will get, whether you're emulating somebody else's style or creating your own.\n\nI guess I don't disagree with /u/--__--__--__--'s points, I just think that finding your own voice is an important thing more beginner artists should think about, at least in the back of their mind. There are too many musicians out there that sound exactly like one another and it's a damn shame.\n\nAnd it's never too early to go for your own voice. Once you have an idea of what it is, run with it! Explore your idea as far and as deeply as you can. If you hit a road block, go back to absorbing as much as you can and revisit your idea later. \n\n[1]. I include this footnote because you do not necessarily need proficiency at your art form to make something great.

This works for a while and you're pretty pleased with yourself, but then one of them gives birth to a lamb. Now you have forty-one sheep, and no matter how you try, you can't arranged them into a square like you could with forty sheep.\n\n> There's clearly something about 41 that is different from 40. We call it a \"prime\".  Primeness is interesting because you didn't do anything chaotic or complex--you just gave names to different groups of sheep--and yet here you have something happening with those names that appears to have appeared all on its own. Nothing about the way you named it should make 41 so different from 40, yet here we are.\n\nOk...\n\nIt felt like he was building up to a big reveal, but then it culminated in \"something.\"\n\nI get that when you go from 40 to 41 sheep you can no longer arrange them in a square, but I'm not getting why that's a big deal.  All I'm getting is that we call indivisible numbers prime.

I get that they interest a lot of smart people, and I probably just don't have the mathematical background necessary to see why they're so interesting, but the whole point of this submission was that it was an accessible explanation, right?\n\nWhy isn't it interesting that all the non-prime numbers have multiple divisors, instead?  Why should I be viewing the transition from 40 to 41 as chaos arising from simplicity?  Why does 41 necessarily \"arise\" from 40?  41 of something can exist without having first been 40, right?  What is it about having multiple divisors that makes one of our \"number names\" representative of some sort of fundamental universal simplicity, and not just reflective of our own \"number name\" system laid on top?

His notion of Third World Solidarity is what stands out the most. The preceding four chapters are spent building up this concept– of polyculturalism representing the unity of the working classes. The last chapter and the conclusion of the book is simply a cursory history of the interconnectedness of independence movements and moments where such polyculturalism and radicalism interact, including gems like Malcolm X’s death in the arms of Yuri Kochiyama; connections between Red Guards and Black Panthers; Ho Chi Minh’s times in ‘Garveyite halls in Harlem’; and the meetings of Nkrumah and Nehru.

But his/her very own account shows that that radicalization is the ultimate result of the House of Saud's own tactics to perpetuate their absolute monarchy.  After the Iranian Revolution of 1979, strict Wahhabism was imposed because of the fears of a popular revolt; that public dissatisfaction was driven not just by the royal family's cooperation with the West, but also by its brutal oppression of large segments of the population (particularly the Shia population in the East of the country).\n\nThroughout the 20th century, the House of Saud has maneuvered itself so that it's always made short term sense for the West to prop up its absolute monarchy---first against the Axis powers, then against the Soviets, then against regional rivals like Iran, and now against Islamic militancy in its own population (which it helped create).

There isn't much to refute in his overall point that there are a few prominent Republicans who are guilty of being at least a little bit hypocritical in pushing this \"self made man\" narrative when they themselves inherited much of their wealth.  These are broadly qualified statements though, and don't bring much to the table.\n\nI think that the much more interesting and harder to answer question is why there are so many people (at least in the US) who are willing to get on board with this narrative.  The Republican Party has an incredible base of support in the midwest and southern US, states where annual incomes per capita are low compared to the east and west coasts.  What I don't understand is how you get, for example, a farmer of relatively modest means in North Platte, Nebraska to want to vote Mitt Romney for President - a guy who inherited his dad's company, made his money in the venture capitalist game, and wants to give more tax cuts to the extremely wealthy. Who's going to tel the corn farmer in Iowa that the reason he is able to make a living is because the federal government subsidizes his corn production? Who's going to tell the Cliven Bundy's out there that they are stealing form the taxpayers when they use BLM land without paying the necessary fees?\n\nMy point is that I believe that there is a disconnect between the Republican narrative and how the world really works.

{"question_title": "Homo sapien evolutionary biology: Persistence hunting vs Scavenging", "body": "It's an interesting theory, but I don't think that is the only factor at play. The theory that is most generally accepted today encompasses a lot of different possible factors. It's believed that early human ancestors were tree-dwelling creatures (this explains why we have grasping hands and are capable of brachiation), but over time many different environmental factors forced our ancestors out of the trees. For one, as the climate changed, so did the landscape, with tress becoming more spaced out and tall grasses growing in between. Bipedal locomotion is beneficial because it is energy efficient, and also because it leaves the hands free for picking up food and carrying it around. You can see this behavior in chimpanzees, which can walk on two legs for very short distances. They are able to drop down to the ground, pick up food, carry it to another tree, and climb up quickly. Bipedalism also makes it possible to stand up and look over top of the tall grasses that were taking over.\n\nI also think the linked theory assumes a much greater reliance on meat eating, especially meat obtained through hunting, than was probably the case. Yes, humans hunted. But hunting has a really high fail rate. And one of the biggest reasons humans are such a successful species is that we can eat pretty much anything. It's not logical to think we relied primarily on hunting, when gathering and scavenging are much more cost effective methods of obtaining food. The misconception about hunters partly comes from the fact that large animal bones last a lot longer, and so make up a bigger portion of the samples taken from archaeological sites. However, new technologies have revealed that humans were probably heavily dependent on things like starchy plants and small game. Also, it's impossible to generalize about the human diet because we are successful in literally every type of climate on earth.\n\nI am not saying that I think the linked hypothesis is wrong, just that I don't think it's the only factor. I think there must have been a lot of factors that made bipedalism an advantage, because bipedalism also comes with a lot of serious disadvantages. It puts a lot of stress on joints, especially in the back. An anthropology professor I work with once said to me that, when examining a skeleton to determine the individual's age, the question isn't whether or not there is arthritis in their back, but how much arthritis is present. Arthritis in the back is pretty much inevitable.\n\nThe other HUGE disadvantage is childbirth. Yes, bipedalism did a lot to help us develop big brains. It made us more energy efficient so that more calories could be devoted to fueling a big brain. It freed up our hands and gave us a height advantage so that we could gather/hunt more effectively. It freed our hands for tool use so that we could process our food by grinding and cooking it, thus getting more calories out of what we ate. But it also resulted in poorly aligned birth canals, meaning that reproduction became extremely dangerous. Birth is much more difficult for human females than it is for other animals. Not only is the birthing process itself dangerous to both mother and baby, but mothers giving birth are very vulnerable to predators. Our big brains make it even more difficult. Our young must be born far more premature than the young of other animals, because if they stayed in the womb any longer their huge heads would never make it through the birth canal. So, while a baby deer is up and running within a few minutes, a baby human is unable to even hold up its own head for several months after birth. Luckily, we're bipedal, so we have these wonderful hands that let us carry babies around. And, we developed these amazing big brains, so we can communicate our needs with each other and feel empathy, so we have whole communities that helps us raise our helpless young. \n\nActually, there is a lot of evidence that bipedalism allowed us to develop our big brains in the first place. But it has undeniable disadvantages. So, I personally find it unlikely that it could have developed unless there were many factors that made it advantageous.  \n\nEdit: Made some additions to my statement.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2ux6ux", "post_id": "2ux6ux", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/2utuhx/til_that_humans_are_the_best_longdistance_runners/cobo3yf", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2ux6ux/homo_sapien_evolutionary_biology_persistence/", "post_created_utc": 1423176395, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cocuhcm", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cocuhcm", "answer_score": 26, "answer_created_utc": 1423202435}}

And, in fact in the long term, US defense spending has been on a steady decline - even with the two wars in the 2000s, the US is at its lowest spending levels on national defense since the days before WW2.\n\nThis is almost entirely nonsense. Calculating defense spending as a percentage of GDP is useless. If GDP goes up, the percentage goes down. That tells us nothing other than we're engaged in more economic activity. Or as [ThinkProgress put it](http://thinkprogress.org/security/2013/03/08/1690591/defense-spending-myths/):\n\n>In no way does measuring defense spending as a percentage of GDP accurately represent the capabilities of our military to execute its missions. Consider how we calculate GDP and all of the factors that go into it – if private consumption or investment increases more rapidly than defense spending, naturally defense spending will subsequently comprise a smaller percentage of GDP. Does that mean we should increase defense spending if there is no change in the international environment?\n\n>Conversely, if the GDP goes down and the threat goes up, should we reduce defense spending? An appropriate level of defense spending should be calculated based on threats and strategy, not an arbitrary percentage of GDP. We should spend more when the country faces an existential threat, as it did in the Cold War and when we go to war, and we should spend less in peacetime – our Gross Domestic Product has nothing to do with it.\n\nIn actual inflation-adjusted budget terms, US defense spending is not at \"it's lowest spending levels on national defense since the days before WW2.\" It's much, much higher. [Here's](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2012/08/28/defense-spending-in-the-u-s-in-four-charts/) the Washington Post on the issue.\n\n>Additional food for thought - over 40% of the US military budget is spent on wages and benefits and training. The US military, being all volunteer, doesn't have the luxury of conscription that some countries do nor does it have the large population that India and China do to maintain a large military. Comparing the cost of living with other countries and the need for competitive wages and benefits to keep the force all-volunteer, the gap between the US and other countries shrinks considerably.\n\nPersonnel costs for the military budget were $153.531 billion of a $610.096 billion budget. Add in a billion and a half for housing costs and you're looking at just over 25% of the budget, not 40%. \"The luxury of conscription\" is a pretty gross phrase considering he means an enforced military draft no one in the US wants. And having a smaller population than China or India is meaningless in this context. Our total active-duty military is larger than India's and our per-capita military enrollment is larger than both [country's](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_military_and_paramilitary_personnel).\n\nSo while I think this poster did a good job making some arguments for our current military spending levels, I'm hesitant to take everything they say as fact. This isn't a neutral argument, and has a large, unstated ideological bent to it.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2wji6w", "post_id": "2wji6w", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/NeutralPolitics/comments/2wflq9/should_the_us_decrease_military_spending/coqldri", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2wji6w/uflynavy88_comments_on_whether_the_us_should/", "post_created_utc": 1424435771, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "corm5br", "answer_comment_name": "t1_corm5br", "answer_score": 98, "answer_created_utc": 1424452242}}

{"question_title": "/u/rsdancey explains very clearly how small \"city states\" like Luxembourg were formed and why they are so wealthy", "body": "This is a terrible, terrible answer.\n\n> when the kings and aristocrats who ruled them became capable of projecting power over all the \"wilderness\", nation-states formed and all the land in Europe was divided between them, leaving no land \"unclaimed\".\n\nNation-states are states that encapsulate (the majority of) a nation. Germany is a nation-state today. Most Germans - people who speak German, live German-isch liftestyles - live in Germany. The same goes for Thais, and Icelanders.\n\nKings and aristocrats projected power over greater lands since... well, since we invented pointy sticks. Land was not unclaimed. The earliest state we know of extended over most of Iraq.\n\n> A few very very small nations emerged from that process due to their geography. Luxembourg, Monte Carlo, Lichtenstein, etc. are examples. Usually they were located in areas bounded by high mountains or other generally impassable terrain so that none of the larger nations could take them by force without excessive effort.\n\nNo, no no no. These are 3 examples of microstates that survive now, yes. However, they are in no way unique, nor owe their sovereignty mostly to geography or difficulty of conquest. *Every* part of Europe was ruled by 'states' like these, and they and many others belonged to larger confederations, leagues and empires ruled by 'greater' rulers. \n\nThe question specifically asked about Luxembourg, but the commenter mostly talks about things that apply to Liechenstein. However, all 3 that he named owe their independence to accidents of history; While other small states - dukedom, principalities, counties, etc - were being absorbed into greater nation-states, these three had strange sequences of events happen:\n\n1. Liechtenstein's sovereign overlord ceased to exist - the Holy Roman Empire was destroyed by Napoleon. It was not immediately independent - it was part of several confederations and so on, but found itself somehow (a long story involving the purchase of titles by people who'd never been to the relevant lands - Castle Lichtenstein isn't even in Lichtenstein) on the same level of sovereignty as much larger states like Switzerland and Prussia. When Germany, the nation-state, emerged from these confederations, Lichtenstein was blocked from the others by the empire of Austria-Hungary - and owned by residents of Austria-Hungary. As such, it didn't join Germany, instead being an odd little satellite client of AH. When Austria-Hungary dissolved at the end of WW1, the Princes of Lichtenstein declared themselves free of any allegiance to 'just' Austria, and the Allied Powers were happy to oblige them. **Date of actual independence: 1918**\n\n2. Monaco is associated with wealth, and for good reason: The Principality of Monaco, originally a colony of Genoese traders, was *purchased* by low-born merchant Grimaldis from the kingdom of Aragon.  Lowborn men could not 'buy' nobility, but one of the later owners styled himself 'Prince' as in 'Princeps' - first amongst equals. It, like most of these small states, passed in and out of different Kingdoms and empires as these greater states waxed and waned, most often being a client of the Kingdom of France. During the French revolution it, like other 'noble' states, was integrated into the nation-state of France; after Napoleon's defeat it was 'assigned' to Sardinia. This sparked a war, but the Grimaldis again *purchased* independence by giving France millions of francs and 95% of their land, leaving them with, mostly, the town of Monte Carlo. Now broke, they opened a casino, *just in time for the birth of the modern seaside-holiday phenomenon*. **Date of actual independence: 1861**. They *gave up* real sovereignty in 1918, when the Allied Powers, annoyed by the imminent possibility that a German could inherit Monaco, forced them to sign a treaty stating that they would abdicate foreign policy to France, and should the Grimaldi line have faltered, Monaco would have become a special property of France (think Hong Kong). The provision for 'France inherits' was removed again in 2002.\n\n3. Luxembourg owes its independence to London. First a normal feudal state like any other, it passed hands several times (again, once by purchase) until Napoleon again took it and lost it. Being much larger than it was today, it was quite a prize for the victors, and Prussia and Netherlands disputed who should get it. It went, mostly, to the Netherlands; the Netherlands promptly fell apart and the Treaty of London gave independence to Belgium (including most of Luxembourg) and to Luxembourg itself, or rather the German-speaking part that had no business being in Belgium. This German speaking region was confirmed as a territory belonging to the royal family of the Netherlands, but not part of the Netherlands itself. In return, both states had to sign agreements promising to be eternally neutral, and that any violation of that neutrality - internally or externally - would be punished by the other signatories. This came to pass: it is how Britain got involved in WW1, to defend its honour as a signatory of that treaty when Germany invaded Belgium. **Date of actual independence:  1839 (or 1867 or 1890).**\n\nSo:\n\n1. All three became independent long after the middle ages.\n\n2. All three have been easily conquered time and time again.\n\n3. All three are independent due to strange sequences of events, mostly revolving around political machinations and the defeat of Napoleon.\n\nSimilar stories surround Andorra, San Marino and Malta - repeated invasions, political favours or intrigue, and very recent actual independence, mostly as a convenience to try to prevent war between much larger states since the 1850s.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2xiofw", "post_id": "2xiofw", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/2xhzbv/eli5_why_is_luxembourg_one_of_the_wealthiest/cp09vvg", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2xiofw/ursdancey_explains_very_clearly_how_small_city/", "post_created_utc": 1425173498, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cp0pqsd", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cp0pqsd", "answer_score": 104, "answer_created_utc": 1425203171}}

I've found art history to be an interesting field, largely due to its notoriety, and notreallyswiss's question to why art history is so burdened with outside criticism struck a chord with me.\n\nI think part of the issue is that with art history it's much easier to see the split between the average person and someone 'in the know'. That is, someone who is actively studying the field of art history. And I think the problem is that, through art history, the ridiculousness of the navel gazing aspects of academia are most apparent. Everyone understands aesthetic beauty. Even if they can't determine why something looks good, they 'know it when they see it'. As such, the average person is shocked and frustrated when they see something that goes against the grain of what they understand to be good or beautiful, simply because some expert believes it to be. It builds this sense that those so-called experts don't know what the hell they're talking about and that it's all some big, elaborate joke that we're not in on.\n\nThe problem with that line of thought is that it unfair casts this problem onto art history. Every field has this sort of ivory tower issue, but art and art history are more graspable by the average person than other fields. Mathematics is notorious for doing things for the sake of math, but it so happens that they have high applicability to other fields that society deems as 'worthy' or 'important'. The idea of the imaginary number *i* started as a thought experiment by mathematicians playing around and going deeper into the work of mathematics, solely for the sake of mathematics. But it turns out, imaginary numbers had huge applications in engineering, particularly electrical engineering.\n\nThis problem isn't even regulated to just liberal arts and the sciences. I'm an undergrad in human-computer interaction, a subdiscipline of computer science and engineering, one of the most industry-inclined fields out there. But even in my field, there are plenty of research studies that I read that make me stop and wonder what the hell could this be applied to in the real world. And I think that's the point about academia, and indeed its strength--the ability to shut off the outside world and retreat into the quest for knowledge, so that someday it may inform future generations, like imaginary numbers. The problem is that it doesn't sit well with the average person with real world problems who look at these eggheads not doing anything constructive.

Perl was meant to make automating text processing and system processes easy.\n\nWhat they make \"easy\" and what they make \"hard\" can tie into the data structures and feature sets that are easily and rigorously exposed to the programmer.

However, there is a clear correlation (as OP admits) between [deep water deposits and earthquakes](http://fuelfix.com/blog/2015/02/06/kansas-geologists-look-for-earthquake-and-fracking-correlation/) which is being exacerbated in regions with high levels of fracking.  Honestly, I think this is such a minimal concern, that it doesn't worry me.\n\nOk, so what are the real concerns.\n\n1) Fracking produces CO2.  While it's true that it produces less CO2 than oil/coal (see point 2) it still produces significant amounts of CO2.  We need to be weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels as much as we can at this point, instead of finding new deposits to extract.  Fracking has led to a decrease in gas prices and a bottoming out of the natural gas market.  This is great news for economies, but awful news for the environment.  We should be building renewable sources and nuclear plants (yes nuclear) to have any hope of averting large temperature changes in the next 50-100 years.  Fracking will exacerbate it.\n\n2) Methane releases are not minimized.  This is the biggest issue I have with fracking and OP did not address it.  Methane is a more potent gas than CO2.  When fracking sites release CO2 they undo any positive benefits from CO2 reduction from burning natural gas.  [A 2014 survey](http://www.sciencemag.org/content/343/6172/733.summary) indicates that something like 5% of methane is being released from fracking sites, which is far worse for the environment than oil.  Of course, capturing the methane is expensive, and without having to pay for the externalities of methane release, there's no good reason to do it.  I will not trust fracking sites until they submit to full outside monitoring of methane leakage, and are forced to pay for the penalties of causing it.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2yx6br", "post_id": "2yx6br", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2yw3ns/has_anyone_ever_challenged_you_to_something_you/cpdjwia", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2yx6br/idiabetic_clears_up_popular_misconceptions_of/", "post_created_utc": 1426262451, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cpdvm9g", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cpdvm9g", "answer_score": 103, "answer_created_utc": 1426269845}}

{"question_title": "/u/Tauchfischstaebchen explains modern feelings of east/west divide of Germany", "body": "Not a bad summary, but missing the \"Eastern\" perspective a bit, understandably, since  OP said he's from the West.\n\n**In very general terms, there's a certain level of resentment felt by (some) from the East towards (some/most) coming from the West.**\n\nNote please that this general resentment seems to get less over time, or at least: seems to be less now than it was shortly after the unification, but it's still there, from what I know.\n\nI would then further add, this resentment comes in two types, **justified, and not really justified** (and probably several shades in between).\n\nAs an example of \"justified resentment\". In the aftermath of the unification, which was de facto more of a \"take over\" of the East by the West, a lot of Eastern companies were broken down, sold and key people in them replaced by Western people. Similar for many Eastern university departments and people who worked there.\n\nNow, for fairness sake, the West *was* a lot more economically successful, and the East economy *was* factually in shambles, so there was some justification for the \"takeover\" perhaps, but the way it was handled was very aggressive, tactless and handled without regards for how the East felt about it.  And often enough, it was actually Western cronyism that lead to the replacement of a Eastern professor with a Western one, etc.\n\nThis resulted in, for example, the term \"Besserwessie\", a word play on \"Wessie\" (someone from the West\") and \"Besserwisser\" (~know-it-all). The notion that the Westerners come to the East and pretend and act like \"they know it all\".\n\nI'd call that a justified example of East -> West resentment. Then there's plenty of *unjustified* resentment as well. There's a persistent wage gap between East and West. Shrinking, but not gone. Now the question is, is that some inherent bias/unfairness, or rather a representation of a productivity gap between East and West that persists until now (Not a huge one, but one worth a few percent). Not completely different from the (sometimes very charged) discussion about the persistent male/female wage gap, by the way.\n\nAnyway, this East/West wage gap example is not 100% clear cut, in my opinion, this gap could be part justified by an efficiency gap, and part not justified (stemming from some Western \"bias\"). However, there's a certain political stream in the East (across parties, I should add) that takes those economic imbalances and exploits them, in the sense that politicians pander to the resentment some feel towards the West, trying to gain political influence as a result.\n\n**tl;dr** East Germans (maybe less now than 10 years ago, but still, to a degree) resent West Germans for their arrogance - sometimes rightfully so, sometimes not, i.e. they forget that what can be perceived as \"arrogance\" is actually the result of a power imbalance between East and West, which might not be what we *want*, but is what we *have* for now.\n\n(final edit) That there's less resentment now than earlier is probably partially the result from the fact that our - rather popular, pretty long serving by now - chancellor Angela Merkel is from the East.\n\n(final final edit) And that the highest state office *by title* (the president of the republic, a bit like the king in a constitutional monarchy) is held by Joachim Gauck, East German as well, and pretty well like on both sides.\n\nSo... happiness everywhere \\^_^", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_2zcupr", "post_id": "2zcupr", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2zc7bw/germans_of_reddit_can_you_still_feel_an_eastwest/cphk6rk", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/2zcupr/utauchfischstaebchen_explains_modern_feelings_of/", "post_created_utc": 1426604775, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cpinvhh", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cpinvhh", "answer_score": 16, "answer_created_utc": 1426678623}}

Again: once a losslessly compressed file has been de-compressed, it is **completely indistinguishable** from the pre-compression file. \n  \nWe have a number of well-designed lossless compression algorithms that work on images. Even so naïve a \"lossless video compression algorithm\" as creating a stack of png files out of the bitmaps he describes would be able to shrink the file size of the resulting video by up to 50%!\n  \nBut based on OP's preceding argumentation, she means \"uncompressed\" rather than \"lossless\". This is a bad comparison, since consumers, if they ever get \"pixel-true\" video, would get it with losslessly compressed video, not with uncompressed video (see, e.g., the dominance of FLAC over WAV).\n  \n~~But we do not even have loss-less videos~~ However, lossless video formats are avoided not because of space concerns but because consumers do not want or need them. *With the settings generally used in consumer contexts*, the results of contemporary lossy compression algorithms are in general distinguishable from the original data only outside standard viewing contexts ~~only by directly comparing pixels, and even then the two may be difficult to distinguish with the human eye~~. Future lossy compression algorithms promise to shrink that gap further, reducing concomitantly any rationale for losslessness besides archiving.\n  \nInclusion of even just the most rudimentary of discussion of lossy and lossless compression would've clarified this point, but OP decided to go off instead on a ludicrous tangent about \"deep color\" and \"X-men happen[ing] in real life\".\n\nEDITED to address u/DirtAndGrass's point about H.264 heterogeneity", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_30du98", "post_id": "30du98", "post_url": "https://np.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/30caj5/remuxes_and_encodes_am_i_understanding_the_terms/cpr8n3q", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/30du98/urathadin_provides_an_indepth_explanation_as_to/", "post_created_utc": 1427385661, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cprk1f8", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cprk1f8", "answer_score": 152, "answer_created_utc": 1427390170}}

{"question_title": "/u/DuxBelisarius produces a seven-part comment series on the strategic and tactical values of large-scale infantry battles on the Western Front in WWI", "body": "Reposted with fixed formatting, because I found this hard to read, all credit to /r/DuxBelisarius:\n\n------------------------------\n\nTL;DR: Painful but necessary, and productive\n\n**Part One: Chantilly**\n\nIn November, 1915, Joseph Joffre, the Commander of the French Army and essentially the Allied generalissimo, called a meeting at Chantilly, to decide on Allied strategy for 1916; Italy, France, Russia and Britain were all represented here.\n\n1915 had been abysmal to say the least: Gallipoli and Salonika were blind alleys, the French Offensives in the west had been unable to prevent the Germans from concentrating forces in the east, Serbia and Montenegro had been conquered, Bulgaria joined the Central Powers, and Russia had suffered c. 2 million casualties in the year. What was needed was a unified strategy to coordinate efforts on all fronts, and push the Austro-Hungarians and Germans to the breaking point. Once they were out, all else would follow.\n\nThe General Allied Offensive would comprise an Anglo-French assault on the Somme, the one area on the western front where the British and French lines met, and thus could combine their efforts. Three French Armies and ONE British army would attack, the concept being one of 'continuous battle': extensive use of artillery to smash the enemy's lines, accompanied by a break-in of the initial positions, followed by a continuous series of attacks, to force the Germans out of their successive positions. The aim would be to bend the German lines until, hopefully, they broke. Break through or not, this offensive would have the effect of inflicting serious losses on the enemy, and of tying down divisions in the west.\n\nItalian forces would continue their advance against the Carso Plateau, aiming for Gorizia, while the Russian Southwest front, under Alexei Brusilov, would aim to tear a hole in the Austro-Hungarian Front, driving them back to Galicia.\n\nThe goal then was strategic attrition and overreach of the enemy's forces, through the combination of allied offensives on all fronts. Romania also seemed poised to join the Allies, and so this factored into plans in the east.\n\n--------------------------\n\n**Part Two: Verdun**\n\nUnfortunately, the Germans struck first. Whereas the Allies aimed to combine their offensives, the Central Powers had different ideas. Conrad von Hotzendorff and Erich von Falkenhayn, the Austrian and German chiefs of staff respectively, each had their own pet projects: The Italian Front and the Western Front.\n\nFalkenhayn's plan was an offensive against Verdun, the Fortress city located in a salient in the west. Success here would be two fold:\n\nA) Taking the city would give the Germans control of the Meuse, and likely force an abandonment of the salient, shortening the western front.\n\nB) if the Germans could simply take the ring of outer forts, and seize the bluffs overlooking the city, it could be brought under heavy artillery fire, and from their defensible positions the German Fifth Army could 'Bleed the French White'.\n\nThe Austro-Hungarian aim was an offensive against the Italians. Falkenhayn (fatefully) okayed it, and both sides went off on divergent, separate campaigns. The Austrian position in the East was thus weakened, while Falkenhayn expected to crush a British 'spoiling' attack on the Somme with the German Sixth Army, poised for a counter offensive between the Somme and Arras.\n\nThe Germans (like Han solo) shot first, and the Allied plans had to change in the west, as the French army was sucked into bloody fighting around the 'Meuse Mill'\n\n--------------------------\n\n**Part Three: Brusilov and the lead up to the Somme**\n\nThe French armies at Verdun came under Phillipe Petain's leadership, who sent increasingly desperate messages in June, as Fort Vaux and then Souville fell to German attack. While Joffre and General Douglas Haig, the commander of the BEF, hashed out strategy, the Russians made their move.\n\nBy early June, c. the 1st, Conrad's offensive in Italy had stalled, and by June 11th, a brief pause was allowed at Verdun (small consolation to the French!). In the First week of June, the Russian Southwest Front struck in Galicia. By September, Russian troops would be at the Carpathians as in 1914.\n\nAlexei Brusilov had been given priority for ammo. and guns, and had the elite Guards Army as a reserve. He struck the Austrian lines around Dubno, pushing on to Lutsk, while further south the Austrian lines unravelled. Losses in the first week for the Russians were c. 490 000 casualties, Austro-Hungarian losses in the first 12 days were c. 280 000 casualties.\n\nBy the time the offensive reached its high water mark in August, and ground to a halt in September, Austro Hungarian losses were about 1 million, a quarter of that prisoners. Russian losses were about 1.5-2 million, perhaps half of them killed. Romania entered the war, and the Austro-Hungarians were forced to: A) accept German forces and officers in many of their higher units; and B) accept German command on the Eastern Front. Conrad was sacked, and Falkenhayn was given the boot for Romania's entry.\n\nIn France, events on the Somme were unfolding...", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_32v6hg", "post_id": "32v6hg", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/32t8bn/world_war_i_question_largescale_offensives_like/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/32v6hg/uduxbelisarius_produces_a_sevenpart_comment/", "post_created_utc": 1429228365, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cqfkxv0", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cqfkxv0", "answer_score": 11, "answer_created_utc": 1429286691}}

All that up front mortgage interest is tax deductible, as is your property taxes, so knock a significant chunk off the monthly costs for a mortgage when making that comparison. \n\nLastly, with mortgage rates so damn low right now, there's a huge opportunity cost in the risk of not buying. Rates will shoot up some day. Prices don't drop equivalently, because people who bought don't like to sell for less than they paid. Net-net you get more house for your money right now, unless you are in an area where you anticipate a giant housing crash. \n\nIn the end I think it is very unwise to claim that anyone should be \"pro renting\".

{"question_title": "/u/schnit123 discusses the difficulty of changing a person's established point of view", "body": "I'm very late to this party, but had this comment to add:\n\n---\n\nThe point is not that changing people's minds is impossible, but that it's an emotional, rather than an intellectual, endeavor.\n\n[What we believe depends completely upon our willingness to believe it, not so much on evidence.](http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/03/denial-science-chris-mooney)\n\nTherefore, changing someone's mind tends to require something like a therapeutic approach, whereby one creates a safe and rewarding environment for the other person to come to a conclusion on their own, rather than like a battle or an argument in which one side \"wins\" and the other is converted.\n\n---\n\nFurther explanation:\n\nThe more an ideological battle feels like a battle, where one side wins and one side loses, both sides are going to fight as hard as they can no matter what the truth is in order to avoid the shame of being defeated. Therefore, bludgeoning evolution deniers, for example, with facts and reason is not going to help matters. Bill Nye confronting people directly in debate is unskillful and counterproductive.\n\nWhat one can do is show others that one isn't going to make it feel like a battle anymore. Show them that if they change their minds that you aren't going to dance on their dignity saying \"neener, neener, told you!\" You have to show them that it will be worth it, and it will be safe, to see things your way. This is why bludgeoning can make things worse. If the discussion is set up in a way that they would be ashamed to lose it, it does not matter at all who is right, they will fight to the death.\n\nThis is essentially a therapeutic approach. In psychotherapy, a therapist may discern an important underlying truth about the patient early on, but the patient may not be ready to handle it, ready to face it without feeling so much shame that they push it away. If a therapist said to a patient on his first visit, \"You want to have sex with your mother,\" the patient would probably leave and never come back. It doesn't matter if the therapist is right if he confronts the patient and makes him want to fight it away and deny it. Instead, he'll listen intently to the patient, ask him questions about his life, develop a trusting relationship with him over time and make sure he feels truly and deeply listened to and validated, and when the patient is ready he will put the pieces together on his own... \"Gee... all those women I've dated are a lot like my mom...\" That's what you need to do with people who are terrified of reason, terrified to let go of absurdities, terrified to face the guilt of all the mistakes they've made in the name of absurdity.\n\nThe way to set somebody intellectually free is to show them that it is safe to let go, and as long as you're using reason as a bludgeon to try to pummel them into submission, it isn't.\n\nRational people can't expect those with great motives for avoiding the truth to rescue themselves from irrationality. Therefore, it is the responsibility of those who claim to be rational to act in the only way that could ever be effective: with gentleness, listening, and empathy. \n\n---\n\nI highly recommend Morgan Spurlock's TV show *30 Days*, which is on Netflix. People from very different backgrounds and belief systems live together for a month: a red-state homophobe moves in with a gay man in San Francisco, a minuteman moves in with an illegal immigrant family... one example of the \"therapeutic\" approach involves not only interacting with people from different belief systems, but taking care of them and allowing them to take care of you.

{"question_title": "/u/quzzical discusses the limitations of \"just eat less and exercise more\" as a weight loss solution", "body": "I'm confused about the main point of this. I dont think anyone doubted the fact that there are legitimate difficulties to weight loss.\n\nMuch of the problem is that there ARE excuses. When you weigh over 400 pounds, its hard to walk, never mind run. People have hypothyroidism, and its difficult to lose weight given various of conditions. But you can't take these excuses as a reason not to try. Simply recognize the added difficulty and work through it. My wife has hypothyroid and she just ran her first half marathon after growing up in a foreign country where playing sports is discouraged and PE classes made up the majority of her physical activity over 25 years of life . Difficulty is relative and is not an excuse to not try.\n\nIf I saw someone who did legitimate excersize and ate healthily but simply didn't lose weight, I don't think anyone could really have a problem with that. But what i see around me are people who take every excuse to project responsibility away from themselves and decide that since its hard for them to lose weight, they are justified in filling themselves with junk at every opportunity.\n\nNot only that, there seems to be a push towards glorification of things like gluttony and lethargy and an acceptance of the self-harm and the delusions that seem to go with it. Such an attitude has nothing to do with whether or not losing weight is harder or easier than average and everything to do with feeling good about not trying.\n\nYes, simply saying 'calories in vs. calories out', although true, brushes over many potential complications of weight loss. But those complications, even if they did apply to all the people who falsely claim them,  are still not enough to cause the obesity epidemic we are living in.\n\nIf people worried about what they could control and ignored what they couldn't control, we wouldn't be here. Instead they worry about what they can't control and ignore the things they can. i.e.  We should worry about how we are taking care of our bodies rather than the nebulous conditions which we have no control over.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_37istf", "post_id": "37istf", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/37c5ei/cmvany_fat_person_can_lose_weight_by_simply/crm9d5l?context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/37istf/uquzzical_discusses_the_limitations_of_just_eat/", "post_created_utc": 1432767677, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "crn3xwg", "answer_comment_name": "t1_crn3xwg", "answer_score": 116, "answer_created_utc": 1432772811}}

It actually ties into the satisfactory explanation angle really well.\n\nThis particular explanation is a watered-down version of an actual 2006 case that became well-known in Chinese popular culture, referred to as the \"Nanjing Judge case.\" According to the popular version of the story, a man stopped to help an elderly woman who had fallen down and hurt herself, and the woman accused him of pushing her down in the first place. The judge sided with the woman and ordered the man to pay $7000 in medical expenses. His ruling stated that common sense dictates the man must be guilty. If you only heard from the media, it seems like this judge is a dingleberry of the highest caliber. The story caught on like wildfire and it became \"common knowledge\" that if you stopped to help someone, you would be sued for having caused the problem in the first place.\n\nThis goes right back to Satisfactory Explanations; it fed into the popular Chinese stereotypes:  Old People are Greedy and Mean; Government Officials are All Corrupt; Modern Society is Callous and Uncaring. Rather than reading the actual facts of the case, people bought into the watered-down story that good samaritans were being punished.\n\nThe judge's common sense remark was not about the man helping the woman; rather, it was about two things: First, the man was the last person to get off the bus, and the woman was the first person to get on the bus, meaning that he must have seen her before she fell. This contradicted the man's version of the story. Secondly, and most importantly, he accompanied her to the hospital and paid her hospital bill. Granted, it wasn't a very high bill, but the judge stated, rightly so, that this is extremely abnormal for someone who isn't involved. The judge concluded that the man must have accidentally knocked down the woman while getting off the bus.\n\nEven so, there has been a noted social effect, dubbed the \"Nanjing Judge effect,\" where people who would ordinarily help would hold back from fear of legal repercussions.\n\nNow, here's where things get interesting. In 2012, documents were made public regarding the case: It turns out the man confessed to knocking her over, and settled for some undisclosed but lesser payment, then had the decision sealed. He then actively solicited the media and several web forums in order to have himself painted as some kind of martyr.\n\nThe episode has nothing to do with liability laws and everything to do with media altering a story, leading to public misunderstanding of the law.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3874aw", "post_id": "3874aw", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/38560x/serious_what_harmful_myths_have_redditors_created/crso0mn", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3874aw/asked_what_harmful_myths_have_redditors_created/", "post_created_utc": 1433237108, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "crt55sq", "answer_comment_name": "t1_crt55sq", "answer_score": 163, "answer_created_utc": 1433263835}}

{"question_title": "/u/postslongcomments posts a long comment explaining how Zimbabwe got such high inflation and why the kept printing more after they were worthless.", "body": "What this misses is that the Zimbabwean economy was destroyed before 2008. Zimbabwe was formerly Rhodesia. In 1964, it severed ties with Britain, but only became semi-independent (de facto independent, but officially unrecognized by most of the international community) with a white-minority government, like South Africa. In 1960, white's made up only 7.3% of the population, but controlled all of the wealth.  Only after a [particularly brutal, protracted war](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesian_Bush_War) was a biracial democracy accepted, with the first elections in 1980. Zimbabwe continues to have elections, but I don't know when the last one to be recognized as free or fair was. However, land redistribution, financed mainly but the UK, was slow (private white farmers owned almost all of the best farm land in 1980), and mostly went under a \"willing seller, willing buying\" policy. This policy was slightly amended in 1992, but basically continued until 2000. In the decade that followed the establishment of biracial democracy, half of the country's white population emigrated, which made the \"willing buyer, willing seller\" program more successful. Still, whites were often the willing buyers of the emigrants land, and in the late 90's, something like 70% of the arable was still white-owned.  Zimbabwe/Rhodesia has never been a particularly industrialized country, and it did have mineral resources and mining has been an important part of the economy, but still, the bulk of the economy was in agriculture, particularly agriculture meant for export (tobacco, coffee, etc). \n\nZimbabwe was once set to be a success story, relatively at least. It has a very literacy rate, for example.  However, Robert Mugabe ended up with an incredibly corrupt regime that only got more corrupt over time.  Human development peaked in the mid-80's. I won't go into the details of Mugabe and his party, the ZANU-PF,  because they're easily available for the curious, but suffice to say that there were a series of elections that outside observers found to be neither free nor fair. In 2000, facing increasing unpopularity and an increasingly organized political opposition, Mugabe started giving out privately held, white-owned land to political allies (publicly billed as \"war veterans\") with no compensation to the previous owners as a way to try to shore up his support. Read more about the details of the [history land reform in Zimbawbe here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_reform_in_Zimbabwe), but suffice to say that this move in 2000 was disastrous to the economy. The Supreme Court ruled it illegal in 2002, but it had no effect. By 2005, the land grabs could no longer even be challenged in court.  The people who knew how to far (white farmers and their black employees) were removed from the land, and replaced with people who knew little about industrial agriculture. Tobacco had long been one of Zimbabwe's biggest exports. In 2005, Zimbabwe produced a third of the tobacco it produced in 2000.  You can literally see [per capita income free fall after the land grabs started](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zim_GDP_per_capita_1980-2010.svg). You see it even before hyperinflation sets in 2003/2004, and before hyperinflation peaks in 2008.  The land grabs led to [an international credit freeze](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwe_Democracy_and_Economic_Recovery_Act_of_2001) among other things, which led Zimbabwe from a strong trade surplus to a trade deficit almost immediately. You often see peaks in the bad policies of Mugabe's government around election times and referenda. Presidential elections were in 2002 and 2008 (when hyperinflation peaked). The political rivalries also cut into ethnic rivalries. Not just black-white, but Shona (who form a base of support for Mugabe's ZANU-PF) and Ndebele (who formed an important base of support for the various opposition parties), which occasionally erupted into violence. In 2008, it looked like there was going to be a way out when the opposition MDC gained the most votes in the first round of the presidential election that it looked like Mugabe would finally lose, with many MDC supporters claiming they won the first round outright. Results were only released after a suspicious full month, and by the time a run-off was held, there was a tremendous amount of political violence, deep suspicions of corruption, and an opposition boycott of [the election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwean_general_election,_2008). That's where the above comment picks up. The government had already been under suspicion since corrupt elections in the 90's, an international black sheep since the post-2000 land grabs, which only got worse with the corrupt 2002 election, and by the end of the 2008 elections Mugabe was a complete pariah in the industrialized world (and in at least half his own country) and the economy had been in shambles for more than half a decade.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_39relc", "post_id": "39relc", "post_url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/39qc6k/zimbabwe_offers_new_exchange_rate_1_for/cs5qddh", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/39relc/upostslongcomments_posts_a_long_comment/", "post_created_utc": 1434242697, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cs5uwtm", "answer_comment_name": "t1_cs5uwtm", "answer_score": 71, "answer_created_utc": 1434252495}}

{"question_title": "/u/Schnoofles describes the various factors contributing to Final Fantasy 7's success.", "body": "That was...vague. And used many words to say as little as possible. But it does bring up a good point - the role of the world wide web, and the marketing campaign. \n\nThe marketing for the game was based entirely on the cinemas, and told us of a love that was never meant to be. This destroyed anything ever seen on cartridge. Also, I don't know if you've ever heard of Titanic or Romeo and Juliet, as they're all a bit obscure, but basically, audiences were given two hooks - great graphics, and a classic story...\n\nIn a medium known for neither. Especially at that moment, as the new polygon graphics were known for suddenly throwing wobbly pixels the size of bricks into your face, and most of the stories made Spawn look deep. \n\nAdd to it, the iconic visual clash. One look at the cover revealed it was set in the world of Bladerunner, with corporate corruption everywhere, only there's one guy, with a sword, looking up at the highest tower.\n\nAnd he's instantly memorable. Disney's character designers once had a rule - a silhouette should be as memorable as the character itself. If you look at Aladdin's characters, you can identify each and every single one by their shadow alone. Square's new character designer, Tetsuya Nomura, brought that philosophy to the table, in a huge way. \n\nNo wonder, he'd later team up with Disney.\n\nThe story and the look, combined with one of the best game engines Square ever came up with (Straight forward, and easy to understand, with steady rewards for progress, and hidden depth) plus the sense of community that only the world wide web could provide, as secrets were discovered, one by one...\n\nAll of that, combined, was more than enough to help us get past the fact that this was the first Square game to be translated by folks who only knew English as a second language. (And Ebonics as a distant third.) And an approach to in-game graphics that was dated on arrival. (But would have been perfect for Lego Popeye.) And midi music, on CD. And did I mention the unskippable summon scenes? How about the way the story practically falls apart in the end, as one plot twist after another makes Metal Gear Solid 2 look sane by comparison?

{"question_title": "GryphonNumber7 comments on How come the American Revolution didn't end up being a series of coups, purges and dictatorships? Like the French Revolution, or almost any other Revolution did?", "body": "I had a professor in college who, in the 80's, went to a Western-Soviet Bloc joint academic conference on the French Revolution.  Among Westerners, his name happened to be first alphabetically so they asked him to give some opening remarks for this small conference.  He was completely unprepared, and he said something about the changing view points on the French Revolution, and also the French Revolution's tremendous impact on basically all subsequent political and social systems.  He's American and he finished his remarks by saying something along the lines of, \"We come here with a lot of different view points, but American, French, Soviet, all of us here are in some ways 'children of a revolution'.\"  He thought he did decently considering that he had no warning.  The next person invited up was an eminent Soviet greybeard who began his remarks, \"The French had a revolution.  We Soviets had a revolution.  You had a rebellion.\"  \n\nIt's interesting to reflect on these sorts of complete rebellions like the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolutions, the Cultural Revolution in China, the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the social changes under Ataturk in Turkey--what the Political Scientist/Sociologist Theda Skocpol calls [\"Social Revolutions\"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_and_Social_Revolutions)--and political revolutions that were not social ones, like the American Revolution, the \"Glorious Revolution\" in England, etc.  Or situations that looked like they were about to be political and social revolutions, but turned out to be neither.  The [Spartacist Uprising in Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacist_uprising), or more recently the Arab Spring.  In a longish piece that I still think might be the most interesting piece written about the Arab Spring, sociologist Randal Collins talks about \"Tipping-Point Revolutions and State Breakdown Revolutions: Why Revolutions Succeed or Fail\" (oops I can't believe I forgot to include [the link](http://sociological-eye.blogspot.com/2013/06/tipping-point-revolutions-and-state.html)).  In Skocpol's theory of social revolutions, you need the pre-revolutionary state to be well on its way to becoming a \"failed state\".  Remember, the Estates-General (French Parliament) of 1789 was only called because the state was entirely broke, and was the first one to be called since 1614.  The Islamic Revolution in Iran was preceded by two years of violent street protests, and only took on a firm Islamist flavor at the last moment.  The Russian Revolution could take place only because WWI had bankrupted the state, and the SR governments proved unable to return Russia to any sort of stable position.  Communism only succeeded in the Eastern Bloc (except Yugoslavia) because in the post-Nazi anarchy, Stalin came in and put there.  The same social breakdown preceded the end of communism in Eastern Europe--the Soviet Union was essentially broke.  This is very different from the preconditions for political revolutions, and as Collins points out, the conditions for \"tipping point revolutions\" where the initially successful revolution is rather quickly rolled back by a reactionary government.\n\nPersonally, I don't think this comment is particularly great.  Good, and right in its generalities, but with several glaring misstatements.  \"A lot of violent revolutions start due to wealth disparity. The proletariat feel like they have no options and no control over their lives because of a system set up by elites to use and abuse the common man.\" seems to be following a particularly Orthodox and old-fashioned Marxist historiography.  \"And those colonial governments had been rather autonomous. It's pretty hard for a king or parliament to micromanage a colony when its on the other side of an ocean that takes months to cross,\" also ignores the basic difference between the settlement colonies (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., South Africa) and the other colonies, which *were* \"micromanaged\" not by the king or parliament directly, but by a vast, undemocratic colonial infrastructure culminating in a governor general and staffed largely in its upper ranks by Britons rather than locals.  There are several similar overstatements.  The frontier, for example, was tightly controlled by Britain (or at least, Britain wanted to tightly control it) and this was one of the tensions between colonials and the government in London. \"early American society never had any of the type of widespread mass uprisings that lead to dictatorship because there was always a release valve,\" also misses that there were several uprisings---notably Shay's Rebellion, the Whiskey Rebellion, Fries's Rebellion--that were violently put down.  The American Civil War similarly was caused not in spite of the Frontier, but a lot of the lead up was fights over the Frontier (Compromise of 1820, Compromise of 1850, Bleeding Kansas, etc).  \n\nDemocratic theorists like Juan Linz and Al Stepan would argue that it has much more to do with the \"political society\" set up in the U.S. than it does with the economic balance of the country.  In the 20th century, in lots of Southern Europe (including Turkey) and Latin America, the military saw itself as the ultimate \"protector of the nation\" and would intervene if \"the nation\" was \"in danger\".  What this meant has varied, but it had very little to do with the economic situation of the country, and much more to do with the political situation of the country, specifically the military's involvement in politics (something that the US, Britain, etc. have avoided since the beginning).  Napoleon, for example, was a consequence of French political society welcoming a savior in the form of general after long stagnation and instability (this is especially common in countries where trust in political institutions is low and trust in military institutions is high; where the military is \"the only thing you can trust to get stuff done these days\").  Stepan has a great recent article where he argues the success of the Tunisian Revolution and the absolute failure of the Egyptian Revolution has everything to do with political society in those countries.  This was published long before Sisi even over Egypt, but you could see it coming.  [Ghannoushi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashid_al-Ghannushi) got all the major opposition political actors in Tunisia to agree to \"the rules\" year before the Regime fell, whereas in Egypt, political society let SCAD arbitrarily knock off candidates.  Morsi was a compromise second or third choice candidate, particularly after [Khairat El-Shater](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khairat_el-Shater) was disqualified (because he was jailed by the old Regime for protesting the old Regime...).  It was also clear that, unlike the disciplined Ennahda Movement in Tunisia, the Muslim Brotherhood could not even agree to the political rules they were making up for themselves.  They agreed not to run a candidate for president (because it would definitely get the largest bloc in parliament and therefore the prime ministership), but after the Salafis' (a rival Islamist movement) electoral success and after a person from the most moderate wing of the party, [Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdel_Moneim_Aboul_Fotouh), decided to run as a genuine independent, they changed their mind.  That's probably one of the main reasons why we've seen peaceful democratic transition in Tunisia, but the tragically quick return to dictatorship in Egypt--the way political society was set up, not some Marxist pressure valve.\n\nThe general topic, though, is fascinating, and the distinction between political revolution and social ones is particularly interesting, as is the question of how to set up a political society in such a way that all the actors are all playing by the same rules and agree that voting/democracy is \"the only game in town\" for political legitimacy.  In Turkey, where I do my research, the current prime minister stated years ago, \"Democracy is like a train. You take it where you have to go, and then you get off”, and I have many secularist friends (opposed to the current government) who have at various times have hoped for another military coup \"restore order\" (Turkey previously had military coups in 1960, 1971, and 1980 and a \"[post-modern coup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_military_memorandum)\" in 1997; the 1997 events were specifically to take the moderate Islamists out of power and put them in jail).  Those are the kind of things we talk about when we talk about political society, and those are the kinds of things that you (generally) don't see in America or Britain, but generally are the type of things you see developing in fragile political societies long before dictatorships actually take power (look at the lead up to Mussolini and Hitler's rise to power, where they claimed to represent the \"popular will\" via street protests more accurately than voting).", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3hpn6v", "post_id": "3hpn6v", "post_url": "https://np.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/3hmmmc/how_come_the_american_revolution_didnt_end_up/cu8vwi8", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3hpn6v/gryphonnumber7_comments_on_how_come_the_american/", "post_created_utc": 1440074086, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cu9gxyn", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 108, "answer_created_utc": 1440079753}}

Think of the warm stones around a fireplace even after the fire has been put out.\n\n>That means that the surface (and air near the surface) cools faster than air a bit higher up. But this air doesn't mix like daytime air does, because cool air sinks rather than rises. This creates a nighttime inversion layer[1] , where there's a relatively sharp distinction between cooler air at the surface and warmer air higher up.\n\n>That sharp boundary acts to trap sound waves near the surface, since they're bent downwards by the transition.

{"question_title": "/u/PandabearShenyu explains the ramifications of the US bombing of a Chinese embassy in Kosovo", "body": "Oh wow, this guy. I remember that username from back on Digg - he's always been a dyed-in-the-wool Chinese nationalist, even going all the way back to about 2008 when the Olymipics were going on. Seeing him go on another \"US bad, China strong\" rant almost makes me nostalgic.  I ought to dig up my Nokia phone and play Snake for a few rounds.\n\nHis military analysis, while full of specifics, sounds like absolute nonsense and a number of comments are calling him out for it. I wouldn't pay this a great deal of thought (the embassy bombing is something I know a bit more about, and I can at least say that it too is simplified to fit a pro-China narrative).\n\nHis usage of \"we Americans\" is a nice rhetorical trick though.\n\nEdit: Just to expand a bit - he's right to point out that the blowback from the bombing was more than the US anticipated, but he paints it as if the Chinese were until then ready to pursue a nice, peaceful path of development before the bombing pushed them into developing their military capability. This is not just nonsense because, as other commenters have pointed out, China's military spending didnt increase in any meaningful way, but also because any sensible military would attempt to research ways to neutralize the capacities of its potential enemies, regardless of incidents like this.\n\nWhat he's glossing over - and what the US also failed to anticipate - is that pushing a sense of aggrieved nationalism has been a central part of the ruling party's core strategy for years now. The upshot of the incident was less that it pushed a group of peaceniks reluctantly into pursuing war, but rather that it gave the government a fantastic chance to whip up an ongoing narrative of \"everyone is out to get us\" which the government uses to sustain control. Chinese official media laps up stories about wounded pride and nasty foreigners, because it suits an ongoing narrative which afflicts the mentality of a large and increasingly powerful population in a very unsettling way.\n\nIt strikes me as therefore ironic that a person who is clearly a product of this narrative of aggrieved victimization would entirely sweep the role of this narrative under the rug. It's the same irony I feel when people use their iPhones to protest capitalism - you've somehow managed to ignore the role of forces which are causing you to comment in the first place.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3nclgs", "post_id": "3nclgs", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/3nb9z0/united_states_may_have_bombed_a_doctors_without/cvmkkqz?context=1", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3nclgs/upandabearshenyu_explains_the_ramifications_of/", "post_created_utc": 1443885321, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cvmut2d", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 135, "answer_created_utc": 1443890434}}

There was a graphic about the 1-10 scale (which i personally think is incorrectly weighted since the bell curve feels a little wonky there) where it says that there is no such thing as a woman who is a universal 10. There are 9's who push a certain button (redheads, asians, etc) and become 10's to individuals. \n\nThere are effective villains, there are scary villains, there are magnificent bastard villains, but just because Umbridge exists and we have all met one doesn't make her the perfect villain. She was a roadblock, she was a defeatable lackey, and she was nothing more than an irritation in the grand scheme of things. If she had been victorious in her first book, what would have happened? The kids would have failed their exams, or dropped out of school, or (even beyond her wildest dreams) destroyed hogwarts as a teaching institution. \n\nHer endgame was nothing to write home about. She wanted to lock down the populace so they would submit to a more evil power. She doesn't represent the evil in all of us (which is why the nazis are so scary, since the nazis were what happened when a country fell in love with a mad man's vision), but instead is the infuriating ref who calls a delay of game because he can. She is the little nothing who abuses what little power she has been given because she can. There is nothing interesting about her, there is nothing in her that we jump to relate to. She is not sympathetic, she is not charismatic, she is someone to be reviled and moved past.\n\nThat is not the height of ultimate villainy. Not in a literary world with Norman Bates, Darth Vader, Nurse Ratched, and Annie Wilkes. \n\nShe is only the 'perfect villain' if you have spent your day dealing with bureaucrats who don't want to actually do work today and will find any excuse to deny your request.

{"question_title": "/u/aesu explains how Neural Networks development could progress to replicate human intelligence", "body": "> we will see huge leaps in the next 20 years, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see human level intelligence in 30-40 years\n\nThere's a longstanding joke that AI stands for \"Almost Implemented.\" This isn't the first time we made rapid advances in AI and managed to solve seemingly insurmountable problems such as beating a human at chess. But all have hit walls during which progress stalled for years (see the AI winter).\n\nNeural nets are exciting because they mimic biological brains. Since we know brains produce intelligence, it follows that a sufficiently accurate simulation of a brain would too. There are only two problems:\n\n1) Neural nets used in AI research don't simulate biological neurons. Instead they use a very simple (see below) model called a [perceptron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptron) developed in the 50s, when we had only the foggiest idea how the brain works. What AI researchers are discovering now is how to effectively train networks of those simple models, but we don't know if they will produce the emergent intelligence found in networks of real neurons.\n\n2) Biologists are trying to actually simulate neurons and complete brains, but don't fully understand how neurons work and develop (really, they're developing simulations to try to figure it out). Even if they did, we don't know how accurate a simulation we'll need, but it will be much more computationally intensive than perceptron models (imagine tracking every neurotransmitter molecule). Simulating even a small brain takes a huge amount of computational power; simulating a human brain is currently unimaginable.\n\nNeither problem is inherently insurmountable. The connectionist school of AI (intelligence comes from the connections between simple elements, aka neural nets) is already solving practical challenges like speech recognition. But general purpose AI is a very durable problem.\n\n\n*Perceptrons in 5 minutes:*\n\nConsider a neuron. It's receiving electrical signals from input neurons. Based on those pulses, it either sends a pulse or doesn't.\n\nSo how to we decide if our perceptron fires or not, based on a set of inputs? We give each input a weight, which determines how much our neuron is affected by the other neuron. Some inputs will make our model more likely to fire, others less likely (inhibitory input), and some have no effect. Sum the weights for the inputs that are on, and you get a number: the weighted average. Compare that number to a threshold indicating how likely we are to fire, and if it's greater then we send a 1. If not, we send a 0.\n\nSince I explained a perceptron without words like \"neurotransmitter\" or \"brain wave,\" you can see it's a far cry from the biological reality.\n\nIn the 50's, people tried to use individual perceptrons. They're not very useful, and their limits caused the first AI winter. But if you make a network of these, math showed it compute any possible function (and having a conversation is just computing a complex function of past experiences and what the other person said). The challenge is how to train the network. If I give the input \"What's the closest movie theater showing the Martian\" and the network output is \"fefa 342 ejkla;j tge,\" how do I know which weights of which neurons to change? That's essentially what the deep learning breakthrough is.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3obdop", "post_id": "3obdop", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/3o94lj/ai_neural_network_trained_on_10_million_images_is/cvvlqye?context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3obdop/uaesu_explains_how_neural_networks_development/", "post_created_utc": 1444556479, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cvw3zlm", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 30, "answer_created_utc": 1444592419}}

{"question_title": "/u/gundog48 describes the technological context, tactical advantages, and limitations of the lever action rifle.", "body": "A subtext that can be seen but not said explicitly is that we remember the weapons used in the great conflicts. Yes there were skirmishes and actual wars between the civil war and ww1, but nobody got time for that. We forget about weapons that weren't used for the majority of a conflict.\n\nWe remember the muskets of the revolutionary war and war of 1812, the rifled muskets of the civil war, the bolt action springfield of ww1, the m1 garand of ww2 and korea, and the m16. This is true for planes, military vehicles, and other weapons as well.\n\nOutside of history buffs and hunters, who remembers the springfield conversion breech loader (mentioned by OP), or the m14 (most famous picture of them [here](http://www.worcesterart.org/exhibitions/kennedy-to-kent-state/2011-135.html)) which started vietnam but was replaced by the m16? If a gun didn't see widespread adoption in a major conflict, it doesn't live on in the public consciousness. \n\nedit: As an extension, any item that we remember as dominating a major conflict we also remember as being the opposite of obsolete at that time. Think about the katana vs western swords. Because there are so many western sword styles and uses, it is hard to focus on any one as being \"the best\", but people fixate on the katana as it was around for centuries and therefore must be a \"the best\". I'm not going to throw my 2 cents in to that debate since there are many more experts who care and know more about that debate than I do, but there is a similarity between western sword styles and the lever action carbine. I know people who still hunt with a lever action 30-30, it's the best gun for hunting mid sized animals in the underbrush out to 150 yards. Those 30-30's are direct descendants of the old winchesters and haven't changed drastically in design since then. \n\nBut since we don't have any wars or major conflicts that were dominated by the lever action (it went musket -> rifled musket -> breech loader -> bolt action -> semi-auto -> battle rifle), we think it was just a blip on the radar.

The only necessary points are the points Lucas arbitrarily deemed necessary. The commenter gives Owen Lars and Tatooine as an example. We didn't need to see Lars. I'd be happy with Obi Wan saying, \"I know a good man on Tatooine,\" at some point, or even leaving it unexplained. Lucas seems to have had a poor grasp upon what was important to the Skywalker origin story.\n\nI'm imagining a world in which Episode 1 has an opening like Fellowship of the Ring - a gorgeous stylized sequence detailing dramatic *a priori* events, or starts *in medias res* during the Clone Wars and tells a simplified \"story up til now\" through flashbacks or references. Instead of trying to cover (how many?) years in three movies, it could have only dealt with only the immediate months before Anakin's turn to the dark side. Or to compromise, each of the three movies could have started with a flashback to young(er) Anakin having a traumatic event to set the tone of the episode.\n\nLook at how the current Daredevil series handled the origin story. How clumsy would it have been if they spent the first third of the season having the child actor overcoming a big bad before jumping forward to adulthood? Instead they showed adulthood with flashbacks to formative moments.\n\nEdit: I don't mean to sound critical of the commenter. The rest of what he said is spot on; I just don't like the idea that Lucas failed because the task was too big without saying also, \"And it's completely his own damned fault.\" The commenter says further down that he set himself up to fail.

That said, this is all going to be radically simplified. \n\nThe central problem with his statement is a misunderstanding about what clay is and how it fires. \nFirst, clay is both a mineral (technically kaolin) and it is also the name we use for the the material we shape  (What we call \"bodies\"). In clays, there are multiple types of clay minerals, Terra Cotta is what everyone knows as the red firing clay. Then there is Stoneware and Porcelain. Porcelain is white and stoneware is gray.  \n\nHistorically Terra Cotta was composed of just raw clay dug from the earth, as was stoneware. Where as porcelain was a combination of kaolin, feldspar and quartz. Modern formulas are now much more refined and all are composed of a blend of minerals. Although you can still dig raw clay, as the guy in the video does (it is just not very good, and has firing issues) \n\nPorcelain and Stoneware are vitrified, meaning that when you fire them to a maturing temperature, 1305C, 2381F. At that temperature they become a combination of glass and a mineral called mulltie. Vitrified, means that they become non-porous. Meaning they are hard, dense and don't absorb water and thusly bacteria. This is why they are used for dinnerware and sanitary ware (after-dinner ware we call it). The mullite mineral allows the glass to keep its shape, unlike blowing glass which must be kept under centrifugal force to keep its shape. \n\nTerra Cotta is not vitrified. This is because it contains high level of Fe2O3 Red Iron Oxide (hence the red color). RIO melts at a temperature before the mullite forms roughly 1220C, So if you try to fire terra cotta to mullite formation temperature, it becomes a puddle of glass instead of keeping its shape. What does happen to terra cotta is that the material is sintered. This is a process where the individual grains of clay and other minerals are physically bonded together, without going through any major chemical changes. So to prevent this catastrophic melting, we only sinter to 1075C 1950F\n\nAs to the notion of ceramics breaking down. Even sintered ceramics will hold their basic shape for basically ever (at least geologic time) Vitrified ware is much more rugged though, because it cannot be permeated by water. Water is often called the great solvent as it will break down everything given enough time.  But sintered ware will break down much faster as the water passes right through it. When you combine this with freezing, it leads to cracking and failure as water expands when it freezes.  But even sintered ware will last thousands and thousands of years in the right conditions. \n\nLastly to glazes. What he said can't be more wrong. Glazes are special compositions of glasses that are mixed from raw minerals and applied to the surface of the ware and fired. The are (generally) combinations of feldspar, alkaline earths, clay (mineral), and quartz, and sometimes transition metal is added for color.\n\nI could go on and on, but I have to see to the kids, but if people have questions, feel free to ask.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3qpvod", "post_id": "3qpvod", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/3qkq03/one_man_makes_shelters_stoves_and_bowls_with/cwgtzbr?context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3qpvod/umike312_explains_the_durability_of_fired_clay/", "post_created_utc": 1446134689, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cwhskjr", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 81, "answer_created_utc": 1446162989}}
{"question_title": "/vaguerant110 describes American racism", "body": "SINCE IT WAS REMOVED I THINK THIS IS THE ORIGINAL COMMENT\n\n\n\n>In my experience the people who are vehemently insisting that they are colorblind and that racism isn't an issue are always racist as fuck. They just don't want to admit it.\nI'm going to clarify that I'm white here (You'll see why)\nWhite Americans live in a constructed fantasy land. That might sound condescending, but it is absolutly the truth. Sure, everybody thinks racism is wrong. But that doesn't stop us from engaging in it constantly, whether in ways that are destructive to other people or just personally ignorant. Growing up, racism for me was always coded as something else. Welfare queens, crack heads, \"thugs\", whatever. I grew up in the suburbs and in a high school with some 5,000 students there was maybe 10 black kids. There was an obvious lack of color, so to speak.\n\n>Now, that might not sound significant, but it's emblematic of the kind of racial environment that exists in America. White people stay in one place, black people in another. The result is that the realities of racial inequality are shielded from us. The simple fact is that there has never been a time when racism didn't exist in America, and it never went away so much as changed it's shape. The angry southern preacher declaring that the black man is a heathen was replaced by talk radio saying they are taking your tax dollars. The segregationist stopped saying the N word and instead subtly pointed a finger at them the next neighborhood over.\n\n>Black people are depicted one of two ways to white America in our culture: either as criminal, or as paranoid angry person divorced from reality, complaining about racism that no longer exists.\n\n>See, the rhetoric has shifted, the means have shifted, but the result has not.\nSeparate but equal became \"equal, but some are more equal then others\". Go to an inner city school and see it yourself, for just one example. There's a similarly unequal application of the law, with the assumption that everyone is treated equally even though some are clearly more equal then others, to use that phrase again.\nBehind all of this of course is a history of very much intentional racial marginalization and exploitation. It made itself more palatable to the post-60's racial environment, but it operates in much the same way.\n\n>As white people our biases are internalized and often encouraged. But when challenged on them the usual response is irrational anger, accusations of \"race carding\", saying black people are the real racists, and if all that fails trotting out some biased and out of context crime statistic and ironically falling right back into the kind of \"yeah, well black people are savages\" rhetoric slave owners used, though weirdly as a way of proving racism isn't an issue. \"It's not racial, black people are just murderous barbarians who need to be brutally suppressed before they rape our churches and burn our women and eat watermelon in our preschools and smoke beer and play hippity hop in the park!\"\nI still don't know why this reaction happens exactly. \"Racism\" is easy but it goes deeper then that. For all of white conservatives' complaining about political correctness, they are some of the most easily offended and agitated people in existence. Mentioning the word \"racism\" to them will get you such a torrent of paranoid and insecure nonsense that it's hard to know how to respond. Some of the things I've heard from my friends when racism is brought up would make even the most in your face tumblrina seem downright reasonable.\n\n>My guess is there's a massive difference between what we've been told this country is like and what it is actually like (which is far less pretty). And of course if we're at the top of a social hierarchy, one that engenders extreme amounts of injustice, then naturally it follows we're sort of complicit in it. People don't like turning criticism towards themselves. Especially when an entire culture continually says they are right and that everybody else is just stupid and un-American.\n\n>Nobody wants to be the bad guy. Nobody wants to think that a lot of the things they say, or do, or believe are actually physically harmful to people, that they bolster not just a culture that offends people but that naturally leads to actual violence and repression, as you saw with Eric Garner or the Charleston massacre.\n\n>So of course, the natural response, the comfortable one, the easy to understand and non-confrontational option, is to pretend there isn't a problem, that you're not the slightest bit racist, and that Eric Garner was resisting arrest and therefore deserved it and that Dylan Roof was a psychotic outlier and not representative of anything.\n\n>The more you have this attitude thrown at you, the more it is reinforced. The more controlling over you it gets. People do indeed silence dissenting parts of their brains in favor of things that don't challenge them. And one thing about reddit that I've noticed, as the admins have increasingly turned a blind eye to hate speech and the kind of attitude I'm talking about, it's only gotten more prevalent. Not because more racists keep coming here, but because white kids reading this shit start to see it as the norm. Just like they see softer versions of it in real life and unconsciously accept that as the norm.\n\n>There is no post-racial society. I've seen that first hand. After Eric Garner's death I attended a few rallies and protests. Would it be shocking to the people reading this for me to say that some of the people there were legitimately crying at the news that this officer wasn't being charged? They felt betrayed by their country, and they had felt that way since the moment they were born. They wanted the smallest indication that their voices, that their problems and struggles, have meaning. They got told to fuck off. Again, for the millionth time in our history, we told the black population to go fuck itself and drag themselves back to the slums so we can pretend that nothing is wrong. It wasn't a fantasy that made these people feel that way, they told me flat out: they lived it every day\n\n>And then we repeat. Again and again.\n\n>Not because we don't know there is a problem, we do. We just don't want to care about it.\nSo into the fantasy land we go, where the system works, people only get what they deserve, and the police are the good guys.\nAnd if a couple more bodies pile up then hey, they were probably selling crack or something.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3qt918", "post_id": "3qt918", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/3e2nbl/new_texas_textbooks_downplay_the_role_of_slavery/ctbmjl2", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3qt918/vaguerant110_describes_american_racism/", "post_created_utc": 1446189004, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cwigdkg", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 154, "answer_created_utc": 1446219975}}

The 1960s wasn't some Leave It to Beaver monolith of simple views and simple ideas.

A modern Star Trek would have to be different, of course, but I fail to see how the march of history automatically makes its premise irrelevant.\n\n>Star Trek as we know it does not have an answer for that.

Which is premised on a clash of empires, black and white morality, and optimism (albeit supernatural optimism rather than sociological optimism), and is hugely popular because of it.\n\n>We are moving to a multipolar world where in the old ideas of Good and Bad are fading, and instead we are presented with a palette of various hues of grays that represent our moral options in which we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.\n\nTOS actually has a *lot* of morally grey moments.  There's an episode where Kirk infects an overpopulated planet with a plague to bring the population down.  There's another one where they intentionally escalate a war by arming a tribe with flintlocks.  City on the Edge of Forever, probably the most famous episode of the series, is premised on it being necessary for a saint-like peace activist to die so she doesn't keep the US out of WWII.  Yes, there are lots of episodes that showcase a black-and-white morality as well, but it's unfair to say that TOS completely lacks moral grayness.  Moral grayness was a big contributor to its critical success.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3sb4md", "post_id": "3sb4md", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/3sa7xa/the_national_post_asks_is_a_new_star_trek_show/cwvkcv9?context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3sb4md/mistervanilla_explains_why_star_treks_ideal/", "post_created_utc": 1447182817, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cwvpg6d", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 348, "answer_created_utc": 1447187466}}

You know who has this? Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the Caliph leader of ISIS. \n\nThe only source we have of this PhD is a jihadist website itself, after that it has been spread by numerous media but in the end we are believing some Jihadist followers that his credentials are correct. And even then the PhD would be from the Islamic University of Baghdad, hardly a religious establishment like the al-Alzhar in Cairo or the Islamic university in Cairo, like people that spoke against him did have.\n\n>Qutbist followers include Al-Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden, Ayman Al-Zawahiri (OLB's mentor), and Anwar al-Awlaki. Qutb also influenced the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Palestinian Liberation Front (responsible for the Munich Olympics massacre). Hardly one group, and hardly located in one small region. Jihad, in the proper sense, is no longer about a personal struggle (for the individual interpretation), but is now about global offensives. It has now returned to its roots - spreading the religion by the sword. \n\nFor Qutbist, an extremely small part of Islam which has been criticized by major scholars from all different types of Islam (even including Wahhabism). The rest of the story might indeed be true for Qutbists but as he said, this is nothing more than a ideology within Islam, but being Muslim and being Qutbist are hardly the same thing.\n\n>Critical thinking about Allah's commands is not allowed, and the penalty for apostasy is death. It is a political and religious ideology fuelled by oppression, and by oppressing others.\n\nExcept that the Quran explicitly tells you to think critically and with reason about the words of Allah:\n\n>And when they meet those who believe, they say, “We have believed”; but when they are alone with one another, they say, “Do you talk to them about what Allah has revealed to you so they can argue with you about it before your Lord?” Then will you not reason\n\nQuran 2:76\n\n>Because of the Quran, extremist muslims want to kill you. Because of the Quran, moderate muslims want extremist muslims to kill you.\n\nThere are so many lines in the Quran that forbid transgression that have been repeated time and time again that I'm not going to repeat them here. [This](http://themuslimtimes.info/2013/10/29/three-hundred-verses-about-compassionate-living-in-the-quran/) is a nice overview. In short, if moderate Muslims would be allowing these kinds of actions, none of the Muslims would be following the Quran and thus there wouldn't be a single true Muslim in the world. \n\n>It never underwent hostile takeovers between Muslim kings\n\nNot sure what he means by \"It\" here, since Islam doesn't really have a central institute like the pope in the Catholic church to take over, but if he claims that there have never been fights between different beliefs in Islam he really needs to open a history book.\n\n>It may be hard to believe, but if you are not a bonafide muslim (even a convert), you will always be the heretic, the infidel, and less than human to them. \n\nAlso not true, as real world examples, other religions often had much more freedom under Muslim leaders than under others (see for example Saladin or the Ottomans in Jerusalem vs the Crusader kings). And for another quote that discredits this:\n\n>This is a message from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them.  Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them, because Christians are my citizens; and by God!  I hold out against anything that displeases them.  No compulsion is to be on them.  Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries.  No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims’ houses.  Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God’s covenant and disobey His Prophet.  Verily, they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate.  No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight.  The Muslims are to fight for them.  If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval.  She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray.  Their churches are declared to be protected.  They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants.  No one of the nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the Last Day (end of the world).\n\nAnd finally\n\n>It's almost like people are forgetting the 750 year reign of the Ottoman Empire.\n\nNot sure what he means here, it's like the English Empire would prove that the Anglican Church wants everyone to follow the Anglican Commune...\n\nIn short nothing more than a long list of one-liners, often not even self-consistent nor factually correct.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3tmph0", "post_id": "3tmph0", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/3tjrpi/gunmen_take_170_hostage_at_radisson_hotel_in_mali/cx6sy3i", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3tmph0/ucrapfestlicker_shares_why_he_thinks_islam_is_a/", "post_created_utc": 1448062843, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cx7j56o", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 4, "answer_created_utc": 1448067794}}
{"question_title": "/u/UlyssesSKrunk explains how cryptography works in simple terms", "body": "Neat analogies, but it's more of \"/u/UlyssesSKrunk explains how asymmetric, commutative three-phase key exchanges work\" than \"explains how cryptography works.\" Though full-fledged encryption schemes like that do exist, it's much more common to use them to negotiate a shared secret that both parties then use to encrypt their communications (usually via a different encryption scheme).\n\nSome reasons why this is (in the same terms as the post):\n\n- (*Traffic Efficiency*) Each box Alice sends to Bob must go through the postage handler 4 times (Alice adds lock, Bob adds lock, Alice removes lock, Bob removes lock). The postage handler becomes overburdened because Alice, Bob, Carol, Dan, etc. are all bouncing packages through the office and all want to receive their mail as quickly as possible. To be more efficient, Alice and Bob each send each other locked boxes using the method described and inside, find new, special locks. Alice and Bob each modify their respective locks in different ways that, because of how the locks are designed, allow both to be opened using the same key. Now, Alice only needs to put the special lock on the box, send it to Bob, and Bob has the key to open it (all in one transmission, without the special lock's key being sent in the open).\n\n- (*Endpoint Differences*) Grandma Ethel is putting together a scrap book, and Alice is sending her pictures for it. Alice has deft hands, and has no problem locking her boxes or taking locks off. Ethel, being older and having arthritis, can get the locks off, but takes more time to add/remove locks than Alice. Ethel also gets overwhelmed when she receives too many boxes at once and can't get them open fast enough to handle them. Ethel and Alice use the three-phase \"locked box\" exchange to create a common, heart-shaped key for a special lock that's faster to lock/unlock and requires less fine motor skills. Alice places the fast lock corresponding to this key on each bundle, and Ethel can keep up with unlocking and opening them as they arrive.\n\n- (*System Resources*) Sarah is what some would call a \"social butterfly.\" She is sending and receiving packages to everyone she knows, all the time. She tries not to put the same locks on packages meant for two different people and, as a result, the walls of her house are covered with the thick chains and bulky padlocks she uses for all of the people she exchanges boxes with. When she meets someone new, she has to make space for more chains and locks. To save room, she starts only using the bulky chains and locks for the first time she sends a box to someone. In that box is a part of a key, and a note suggesting her and the recipient use sleeker chains and a lighter (but just as secure) lock. If the recipient agrees, Sarah can throw out the bulky chains/lock, and use the sleeker setup to lock packages (which store easily in a drawer and save her a lot of space).\n\nI'm not a cryptography engineer, and these are wildly simplified, but you get the picture. There's a lot more to cryptography than just key exchanges.\n\nEDIT: [Here's](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Diffie-Hellman_Key_Exchange.svg/427px-Diffie-Hellman_Key_Exchange.svg.png) an even more simplified diagram of how a key exchange (\"modifiying the special locks,\" in my example) might work.\n\nEDIT 2: I also take issue with the overarching statement that [you *can* safely transmit secrets without an eavesdropper deciphering them](https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/3tn1xq/what_intuitively_obvious_mathematical_statements/cx7lt1o) because it implies the channel is provably secure.

There is very much an opposing order coalescing across the pacific.  \n\nAnd to that end, the US is nowhere near as dominant economically as OP seems to think, both in terms of raw GDP as well as in the momentum of US built international institutions.  The AAIB and NDB are growing quickly, and are seen as a less 'meddlesome' alternative by many developing countries, especially in SE and Central Asia.  \n\nThe US is very much declining, in *relative* power.  This though is not because we have done anything wrong, or because anyone is out to get us; its simply the inevitable consequence of the rest of the world pulling it self out of poverty, instability, and illiteracy.  Its patently absurd to think the US will occupy a position of power as it does now, when at some point countries like China and India will become as developed as the west is, but with  its combined population roughly 3.5 times larger than ours.  Nor should this be a cause for concern, its a bit arrogant to think that without the US at the helm the world is going to shit.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3tygha", "post_id": "3tygha", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/geopolitics/comments/3tw0nw/can_the_pax_americana_hold/cx9uun6", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3tygha/iamthegodemperor_discusses_decline_in_american/", "post_created_utc": 1448296018, "question_selftext": "[deleted]", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cxab431", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 3, "answer_created_utc": 1448299345}}

Science, engineering and math do not answer \"ought\" questions.**\n\nTake space exploration. A theory exists that observations of net movement downward of hydrogen within Titan's atmosphere, taken together with an unexpectedly low level of acetylene near the surface, may indicate the presence of methanogenic life on Titan - life that takes in hydrogen instead of oxygen (explaining the net downward movement of hydrogen and its apparent disappearance near the surface), reacts it with acetylene instead of glucose (explaining the relative lack of acetylene at the surface), and expels methane instead of carbon dioxide (explaining the existence of Titan's thick methane atmosphere, which would long since have been destroyed by solar radiation without continual replenishment).\n\nOkay. Cool theory, right? Alien life in the Solar System, in our backyard, on a moon that we've already successfully landed a probe on.

The technocrats cannot answer those questions in their capacity as scientists and engineers - they are outside the realm of science and engineering. \n\nIf you figure that the technocrats are smart people and can make those decisions themselves based on their smarts, you've designed an oligarchic dictatorship.\n\nIf you figure that hey, maybe we could keep the technocrats and let them do technical things, but we could democratically elect some policymakers to answer those questions for them - congratulations, you've discovered modern democratic government, such as in the United States and Europe!", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3u9ak1", "post_id": "3u9ak1", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalScience/comments/3u6c91/could_a_technocracy_ever_exist_andor_work/cxcg2oz", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3u9ak1/uregularity_gives_an_in_depth_response_to_the/", "post_created_utc": 1448482050, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cxdaly1", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 62, "answer_created_utc": 1448504093}}

A huge majority.\n\nThen you get a bunch of shit from world leaders about how it's contained to the middle east and everyone is safe. Suddenly 100 people are brutally murdered by Islamist extremists in Paris, one of the most developed countries in the world. A few weeks later, in Cali-fucking-fornia USA.\n\nThe response from leadership? \"We should take away guns from all our citizens and at the same time let millions of these people from countries with high amounts of extremism and terrorist attacks to immigrate to our countries.\" \"By the way, if you disagree with letting these people into our countries, that means you're actually supporting the terrorists.\"\n\n????????? What? Regardless of your opinions, how can you honestly be surprised that this seems completely ass-backwards to a huge amount of people?\n\nSimilarly, there is a huge amount of nonsensical crap coming from leaders about illegal immigration, arguing somehow that illegal immigrants are good for our society. The problem is that we have a program, called the H1-B (and others), that we issue to people that are provably/objectively beneficial to our society (high skilled educated people). The fact that people are immigrating illegally means that they are not able to get Visas designed specifically for allowing people who are beneficial to our society to immigrate legally. That fact itself proves to you that these people are not beneficial to our society, and if they are, you should be arguing for policy reform in the application processes for these visas. No, all you get is \"illegals want better lives hurr\". I want free healthcare! I want less taxes! I want better education for my kids! \n\nMost people don't have masters in economics or various social sciences. They can't dive into each subject in depth. They have their own lives and kids to worry about. They look at the big picture in front of them and see \"holy shit none of this makes sense, this is pants-on-head retarded\". And they vote for the guy who at least seems like he has the balls to speak up and say the things that almost everyone is thinking but is to afraid to say.

{"question_title": "/u/mumbalakumbala expands on the question \"How can fair and equal rights in Palestine be achieved?\"", "body": "I find myself very close with the first half of their argument, about two states versus one state.  In a world of ethnic states, where we're willing to create Kosovos, it doesn't quite make sense to push for the creation of a weird binational state.  Binational states where the groups have lived side by side for centuries, Canada (which technically also recognizes indigenous people as \"first nations\" so is multi-national rather than binational) and Belgium, often have problems with the breakdown of politics along national lines.  Quebec has repeatedly tried to secede (with a majority of ethnic Canadiens in Quebec supporting that decision in the last election).  Belgium recently had a political crisis where there was no government for 589 days!  What if Israel or Palestine tried to secede?  What if Israelopalestine went 589 without a government because of the breakdown of ethnic politics?  Because of a much higher background level of instability and political violence, I doubt it would work out quite as easily (if those solutions were \"easy\"). \n\nHowever, I disagree with the second part. Is Israel an \"ethnocracy\"? Israel's continued occupation of the West Bank, sure, could be counted as an ethnocracy.  It's a rule constituted characterized not just by ethnic supremacy, but arbitrariness and capriciousness.  \n\nBut does that make Israel inherently an ethnocracy? On the other side of the Green Line, Arab/Palestine citizens of Israel have equal rights, and I'd go as far as to say strong minority rights.  They have long had rights to their own schools, rights to their own religious organizations.  Arabic is a national language and it's on all the road signs.  I've spent a lot of times in other countries that have much weaker rights regimes for minorities.  They have more rights than most other minority groups in the Middle East: though the Berbers in Morocco did recently get a lot of cultural rights as did the Kurds in Iraq slightly earlier, and the Kurds in Syria have recently take a lot of cultural rights, compare that situation to the Kurds in Iran and Turkey, compare that situation to the Berbers in Libya and Algeria.  They also generally have better or similar minority rights to the large minorities in Europe--the Tyrolleans in Italy; the Basques and Catalonians in Spain; the Turks in Bulgaria; the Turks and Albanians in Macedonia; the Turks in Greece; the Hungarians in Romania, Serbia, and Slovakia, Rromanis all over Eastern Europe; the Russians in Ukraine; etc. etc., I think you'd be hard pressed to argue that any have distinctly more rights than the Arab/Palestinian citizens of Israel.  That's not to excuse everything or anything about the Occupation, but rather to put it in context.  \n\nFurther, many states so called [rights of return](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_return) for co-ethnics.  In some countries this is based on fairly recent descent (Japan, Italy), but in other countries it's for co-ethnics when they have no direct familial ties to the modern state.  Finland, China, Armenia, Germany, Lithuania and several other states have laws not too different in intent from Israel's. Here, I don't think that's particularly strange for a nation-state.\n\nA few fucked up things remain unambiguous: the treatment of the Bedouins in Israel and also elsewhere often mirrors that of other unsettled peoples (in Europe, this is mainly this is Rromanis, but other unsettled people elsewhere can get similar treatment), including a willingness to provide services only on the states terms (i.e. you build a village here, we'll give you water, but if you don't, you get nothing).  Non-Jews still can't lease land from the semi-private/semi-public [Jewish National Fund](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_National_Fund#Leasing_policy_controversy).  There has been increasing racism, and in the last few years, right wing parties have tried to pass several laws with the express purpose of symbolically denigrating non-Jewish citizens, but I can't remember which ones have survived Supreme Court scrutiny. I hope none of them, but I can't be sure of that.\n\nThere's also larger problems of societal racism that form the basis for these laws.  There's job discrimination.  There's unequal schooling for Muslims (though it's worth noting Christian Arabs score similarly to Secular and Modern Orthodox Jews, and far better than Haredi Jews).  The funding of schools in East (mostly Arab) and West (mostly Jewish) Jerusalem is one of the most obvious and egregious examples.  There's unequal policing, with unequal rates of violence.  But these (discrimination in schools, jobs, and policing) are all prominent features of the U.S. system.  Is the U.S. also an ethnocracy?  Further, while Arabs are still underrepresented in important institutions, there have been Arab Supreme Court Justices, Arabs with successful army careers, and the Joint List has more than 10% of seats in Knesset.\n\nPersonally, I think it's important to separate the social and legal positions of the Palestinian citizens of the West Bank under Israeli occupation and the Palestinian/Arab citizens of Israel under a liberal democracy with minority rights.  In the West Bank, the current regime is immoral and unattainable.  But in Israel proper, there are inequalities but they're more similar to the ethnic inequalities in North America and Western Europe than the inequalities of the West Bank.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3wflf8", "post_id": "3wflf8", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/Palestine/comments/3wbm59/why_is_israels_ethnocracy_and_ethnic_cleansing/cxvimpk", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3wflf8/umumbalakumbala_expands_on_the_question_how_can/", "post_created_utc": 1449870507, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cxw0zst", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 27, "answer_created_utc": 1449884299}}

{"question_title": "/u/acleverpseudonym explains where common fragrance notes on cologne and perfume come from, and the synthetic nature of the fragrance industry", "body": "This is a topic I can riff off of just a touch.  Related concepts, different subject.  \n\nI \"do\" coffee.  I'm a regular in /r/coffee, I've the hilariously pretentious job title of \"director of coffee\" in the company I work for, I do QA & product management as my core focus, and also do a bunch of our roasting, web content, etc.  \n\nBut coffee.  Those florid ridiculous \"tasting notes\" that come on the front of the bag, or maybe on the website... y'know what I mean, yeah? \"black currant zest across toasted caramel and peruvian cocoa notes with an elegant red wine and mango-salad finish\" or similar.  \n\nSame bag as perfume.  Nobody into coffee expects those things to be literal descriptions of what the coffee will actually taste like.  If you blended all those things with an average cup of coffee, it will not taste like the coffee we're trying to describe.  There is no way in hell your coffee will taste like anything mistakable for black currant, or even more like black currant than coffee.\n\nIt's still a cup of coffee.  It's going to taste like coffee first, foremost, and always.  \n\nBut not all cups of coffee taste the same, for all that they do indeed all taste like coffee.  Just the same as all wine tastes like fermented grapes, but no one ever mentions that.  Saying \"it tastes like coffee\" is kinda pointless when you're trying to differentiate your coffee from the competitors' - which will definitely also taste like coffee.  \n\nSo to us, those tasting notes come with an unspoken preface - \"the way that this coffee tastes different from our baseline 'average' coffee reminds us of\" ...black currant notes, lemon zest, toasted caramel, etc.  And part of the reason that the chosen descriptors are so ridiculous at times is that it *doesn't* actually taste like any of those things and we're all trying to find words to describe some nuanced difference in taste that we simply do not have specific words for - so we steal the most appropriate word from somewhere else.  Seared sugar and toffee and caramel all taste slightly different from one another in the real world, so if a coffee reminds more of one of those than the others, we'll pick the one that seems best.  \n\nThe most under-appreciated part of developing \"a palate\" is amassing an adequate vocabulary to take advantage of it.  Being able to taste every nuance of the coffee perfectly is ... nice, but completely pointless if I can't take that and turn it into useful information for in-house production, if I can't translate it into something a consumer, a customer, a fellow coffee-fanatic can *use*.\n\nBut unfortunately (from my perspective, at least), that \"this is not goddamned literal\" coda doesn't always make it to the marketplace very well.  And too often, we have people who're approaching specialty coffee, stoked to join in and learn and try and figure out why we're so obsessive about something so ... normal, and these folks pick up something that sounds crazy special and brew it up following the coffee nerds' comedically specific directions and ... *it tastes like coffee*.  \n\n\"But ... blueberry?  Summer peach??  Toasted nuts?!?  WTF.  This is literally just coffee.  These people are full of shit.\" \n\nLike any acquired taste, any \"depthy\" consumer good ... You have to experience a lot of bad, a lot of average, before \"good\" stands out or makes sense.  I get folks ask \"how do you know if a coffee is good - how would *I* know if a coffee is good?\" ... and the answer is simple, easy, expensive, and time consuming.  Drink a thousand different cups of coffee, and when you go back and try that one you're curious about *you'll just know*.

My perspective is slightly different, working in tech in the Bay Area and seeing plenty of my peers reach $1M - $10M levels of wealth and dealing with the same issues you're dealing with. Most smart people I know have eschewed traditional wealth management in favor of an increasingly a new breed of services like Wealthfront and Betterment called robo-advisors that are trying to disrupt the traditional wealth management industry. \n\nAt it's core, at the level of wealth OP is talking about, financial advisors serve three main functions:\n\n1. They try to understand what your financial goals are and translate those into a specific implementation of financial behavior. ie: what age you plan to retire and how risk averse are you etc.\n2. Given these goals, how best to structure a portfolio to maximize ROI\n3. Providing the infrastructure to enact such plans including dealing with paperwork, taxes etc.\n\nNow, the traditional financial advisor from Morgan Stanley et al. will try to convince you that for a measly 0.75%, they can handle all of these things for you so you can go live your life and they will hammer each point home in turn as a no-brainer why you should trust your money to them. It sounds like an entirely different proposition when recast as \"let me take 10% of your future returns for performing things that are, at the end of the day, not super hard\".\n\nLet's look at all of these points in turn:\n\n1. While human advisors will give you the spiel about tailoring a financial strategy to your exact circumstances, it turns out most people's financial desires are pretty similar to each other's and it's just a matter of tweaking a few variables in a giant model. Unless your financial needs are truly exceptional, it probably can be captured into the model directly rather than have some meat puppet essentially translate for you.\n2. The biggest lie that financial advisors try to tell which has been repeatedly and solidly debunked over and over is they have some way to beat the average return. That people still fall for this is astounding and depressing. Maybe, *maybe*, when you reach the level of sovereign wealth funds, there are exceptional people who can provide substantial above average returns but even there, the evidence is weak. At the level that you're dealing with, you're the chum, not the sharks. Do not even go into this thinking about beating average. Your goal is to stay solidly neutral with regard to investment philosophy.\n3. While financial advisors are technically under giant brands like Morgan Stanley, in reality, they're run like a bunch of small businesses with an emphasis on sales over operations. If you do decide to go with a traditional financial advisor, be aware that some non-significant portion of your money will be going towards inefficiently run systems, pointless busywork and a whole bunch of staff. Robo advisors have no such legacy because they're ruthless about using software to automate and cut operational costs to the bone. \n\nAt the end of the day, each strategy has it's pros and cons and there absolutely is a place for traditional financial advisors. But /u/ackbz makes it seem like they're the only mainstream option which isn't the case at all.\n\nUltimately, it comes down to exactly how financially sophisticated you're willing to get in order to manage your money. Yes, finance is hard but 99% of the hard stuff in finance is in trying to achieve point #2. If you eliminate that, the rest is actually just a bunch of common sense.\n\nThere's also somewhat of a catch 22 involved in that you should learn enough finance to be able to intelligently pick a financial advisor you know enough not to need one anymore.\n\nHere's my rough rule of thumb, assuming you're a reasonably intelligent, reasonable person:\n\n* If you value the opportunity cost of learning and practicing finance at somewhere around the $100/hr mark, then you should directly balance your portfolio by buying bonds and Vanguard ETFs directly.\n* If you value the opportunity cost at somewhere between the $100 - $1000/hr mark, you should use something like Wealthfront and take the small hit they charge to deal with a bunch of stuff automatically for you.\n* If you value your time at around the $10,000/hr mark, then a full service financial advisor is probably the best option for you.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_3zc6ph", "post_id": "3zc6ph", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/3za06e/just_received_over_4_million_how_can_i_make_this/cyko6mm", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/3zc6ph/uackbz_sanely_comments_on_how_to_manage_a_sudden/", "post_created_utc": 1451865271, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cyle1u6", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 70, "answer_created_utc": 1451902125}}

{"question_title": "/u/BiPoLaRadiation explains the effects of recreational MDMA on the brain.", "body": "I'd be interested in some data supporting his claim that serotonin takes over three months to replenish, and he should have mentioned [MDMA supplementation](https://quip.com/XpwxAzisPV5k), something that any MDMA user ought to be aware of. This part was particularly misleading:\n\n>However MDMA also bonds to **all of the enzymes** that produce serotonin in your brain **completely eliminating** your ability to replenish your now **completely spent serotonin levels**.\n\nEmphasis is mine. This depends on the dose taken. A standard dose of MDMA - 100-160mg - doesn't come close to emptying your serotonin 'reservoir'. If your body's entire serotonin supply was dumped over the course of a few hours you would have a serious (possibly fatal) case of [serotonin syndrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_syndrome). This is much different than a couple days' hangover, or feeling depressed once the high winds down.\n\nHis tips for mitigating the danger need more clarification. The discomfort of dehydration or high body temperature are easier to ignore when you're rolling, but the MDMA itself doesn't raise your temperature or dehydrate you to a significant degree. Dancing in a hot festival tent for 4 straight hours will give you heat stroke if you're completely sober. MDMA just makes it seem like a better idea, and disables some of the warning signs.\n\nHere are my key pieces of advice for taking MDMA:   \n**1. Know the product** - buy from a reputable dealer and use a test kit  \n**2. Take a responsible dose** - anything over 200mg is way too much  \n**3. Wait 6+ weeks between doses**  - but more time is always better, even if just to make it a less regular activity  \n**4. Take care of your body beforehand** - be generally healthy, eat a balanced diet, get plenty of sleep in the preceding days  \n**5. Take care of your body during the roll** - take supplements, have a sober sitter, don't mix with other drugs (especially SSRIs), don't overexert yourself, chew gum  \n**6. Take care of your body after the roll** - eat a full meal, take post-dose supplements like 5-HTP (serotonin precursor), get more nights of good sleep (melatonin helps)  \n\nMore resources:\n[test kit info](https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/mdma/mdma_faq_testing_kits.shtml), [RollSafe](http://www.rollsafe.org/)", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_403etu", "post_id": "403etu", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3zwy6o/what_is_your_dont_knock_it_until_you_try_it_thing/cyq3fah", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/403etu/ubipolaradiation_explains_the_effects_of/", "post_created_utc": 1452291524, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cyr9ung", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 16, "answer_created_utc": 1452298879}}

Along the same lines, we hope to be inclusive of Muslim opinions and scholarly works and avoid the Islamaphobia that often comes along with this topic.\n\nThis is a message from the mod team of /r/JihadInFocus, introducing our subreddit and inviting you to check us out. We're a highly specific subreddit with a highly specific mission: to aggregate, analyze, read, write, and share information, analyses, propaganda, and academic work centered around the topic of modern* (still working on defining that, but for the moment, the last 50 years) jihadism and Islamic extremism.\n\nFor the sake of clarity, we are not the place to post videos and articles about conflicts occurring in the Muslim world, unless it is specifically related to how jihadism affects that conflict. For instance, an article about the war between Syrian opposition and the Syrian government is not an appropriate article for our subreddit, nor one on Syrian or Russian (or American or UK, etc etc) airstrikes in Syria. However an article on the recruitment methods of specific jihadist groups (a working definition will be spelled out as the community comes to a consensus on what exactly that entails, but for the moment- an armed Islamic group that believes in advancing the Islamic cause through militant and violent jihad) or a video/audio propaganda piece from one of those groups would absolutely be appropriate. We aim to aggregate information and collaborate in translating/analyzing that information, or sharing the noteworthy analyses of that information by notable individuals.\n\nJihad and Islamic extremism are incredibly important topics in the 21st century and they are also often incredibly misunderstood. If you're interested in learning more about the ideologies, operational techniques, recruitment, propaganda, or other facets of these groups, or if you're a knowledgeable voice interested in sharing what you know, we welcome you to /r/JihadInFocus to discuss and share information about an increasingly relevant aspect of the modern world.\n\n/r/Depthhub is a good example of the kind of attitude we want to perpetuate on our sub.

{"question_title": "/u/nmitchell076 explains the history of music specifically it's relationship to language-based arts i.e writing.", "body": "Interestingly, if you go farther back in music history into 16th Century and before, you see less emphasis on text or representation and more emphasis on cerebral, purely musical ideas.  This was the great polyphonic tradition, emphasizing strict rules, theory, and compositional ingenuity in the music itself.  But, it should be noted, most compositions were written for voice, which was considered the supreme instrument, and most music was written to serve in worship, or for private singing.  Word painting was also common, in secular music, especially.  But polyphonic music was often criticized for obscuring text because of its complexity, most famously during the Council of Trent, when some church leaders preferred a return to using only chant.\n\nThe emphasis on text described in the link began in the latter part of the 16th Century, especially in ideas of the Florentine Camerata.  They sought to revive what they thought was authentically ancient Greek drama, which they believed was sung, putting an emphasis on monody: one voice declaiming text.  This is how opera was born, and consequently, Baroque music, by freely writing a solo line above chords.  Ironically, Baroque music more properly represents a \"Renaissance\" of Greek aesthetics more so than music if the Renaissance period.  Music between 1200-1600 enjoyed an unbroken tradition of polyphony.  The centuries to follow would see music that employed both monody and polyphony beautifully.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_4195z2", "post_id": "4195z2", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsTalkMusic/comments/405idr/is_music_just_as_noble_of_an_art_as_writing_or/cyrsinz", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/4195z2/unmitchell076_explains_the_history_of_music/", "post_created_utc": 1452963311, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "cz0tbir", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 13, "answer_created_utc": 1452982471}}

{"question_title": "/u/UrbanSpartan85 gives an insight into how the secrecy of documents is classified.", "body": "> As far as who gets access, everything is needs to know. So even if you have a Top Secret clearance you are only given access to information that is necessary for you to do your job regardless of the classification of the material that you want. \n\nNot *strictly* true these days.\n\nThe intelligence community was roundly criticized for its failure to catch the 9/11 attacks. According to the criticism, the intelligence community had enough information to uncover the attack plan well before the attacks happened, but because of overly restrictive information protection and bureaucratic parochialism - agencies making it difficult to share information with other agencies - nobody had access to every piece of information that would have been necessary to stop the attacks.\n\nThe 9/11 Commission was particularly strong in its criticism of the intelligence community's dysfunction.\n\nTwo major changes were made:\n\n* To stop (or at least reduce) the petty bureaucratic stuff and get all of the intelligence agencies and departments working at the same goal, the US intelligence community was placed under a dedicated Director of National Intelligence. The DNI, at least officially, oversees the work of the civilian intelligence agencies and has authority to issue directives (the Department of Defense successfully lobbied to keep its intelligence activities separate; most notably, this includes the NSA). \n* A philosophy known as \"need to share\" was advanced, in contrast to \"need to know\". The theory is that \"need to know\", which requires each person given access to a particular bit of information to, individually and personally, have a reason to have access to that information, prevented any one person from having enough information about the 9/11 plot to even have a solid reason to get additional information, much less put the pieces together. Therefore, restrictive regulations were significantly relaxed; instead of the default being to hold information close, the default became to make that information accessible to the intelligence community unless you had a specific reason to restrict access. (*Plenty* of stuff was still restricted, but it was a vast improvement over the pre-9/11 state of affairs.)\n\nSo from about 2004 to 2010, the intelligence community operated much more loosely; someone with a TOP SECRET/SCI clearance with access to certain networks could access a whole wealth of information, the vast majority of which was likely not relevant to their job.\n\nThen, in 2010, the Chelsea Manning leaks rocked the intelligence community. A lowly Army Specialist intelligence analyst was able to leak everything from combat aircraft nose cam footage to State Department diplomatic cables - why did she have access to all of that?\n\nThat spurred some of the restrictions and firewalls to come back and dialed back access for ordinary intelligence workers, though information still flows much more freely than before 9/11. The intelligence community doesn't want to go back to the overly restrictive old way of doing things, but muddled through trying to figure out a happy medium.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_42itr8", "post_id": "42itr8", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/42hy8n/eli5_how_does_information_become_classified/czah1sl", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/42itr8/uurbanspartan85_gives_an_insight_into_how_the/", "post_created_utc": 1453684153, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "czb2pr3", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 12, "answer_created_utc": 1453714626}}

A $1500 diamond for $2500. Who's getting scammed? This is just basic economics.\n\nWhere are these numbers coming from? Trying to research this for gold and diamond is hard enough (I've seen everything from 9% to 300% for either just from searching around), but the numbers for sapphire and CZ just aren't there.\n\n> A $25 CZ ring also won't last more than 3-5 years before it looks like crap - the CZ just can't take the wear and tear of most people's daily lives, and it's not like the ring is made particularly well or from particularly durable material.\n\nI was under the impression that it's more about how CZ tends to absorb oils that makes it cloudy over time, not its comparative hardness. If someone who knows more about CZ could inform on this topic that'd be great.\n\n> Add to that the fact that good lab-made diamonds are usually at least 70% the cost of mined diamonds (and I've seen many that are even more expensive), and they simply aren't competitive for jewellery yet.

Now SOF are the go to solution for decision makers in a growing number of scenarios.[^1](http://www.businessinsider.com/the-rise-of-jsoc-in-dirty-wars-2013-4?IR=T&r=US&IR=T)", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_45x17z", "post_id": "45x17z", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/WarCollege/comments/45uj3n/commandos_in_wwii/d00d97h", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/45x17z/usuave404_describes_the_historical_and_modern/", "post_created_utc": 1455551126, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d00sbha", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 44, "answer_created_utc": 1455555147}}

Its the under-current of what is going on, it isn't the reasoning, the jusitifcation, etc. for what is going on. Its merely the sociological process that drives people to both preach violence and do violence. Their justifications or reasoning are seperate issues. The Palestinian people are absolutely frustrated with their plight which in turn makes them far more tractable towards appeals to emotion, religion, outrage, and violence than they would otherwise be. Its not an excuse, its just a fact about the situation. Well-fed and content populaces don't revolt, and they rarely spawn terrorists. \n\n/u/TheMossad is a moderator of /r/zionism.

People whom are content politically, physically, emotionally, no matter the religion, don't generally become terrorists and definitely don't revolt.

{"question_title": "/u/anothercellardoor explains how to identify an amateur synthetic chemist", "body": "All I see is a bullshit comment in response to a possibly bullshit submission. Is it the kid's lab? Maybe. His chem inventory from what I see is comprised of simple molecules and solvents probably used to shit-mix and make \"pretty colorful solutions\" as you can see lined up in pic 5. It's a good place for an amateur to start out I suppose. But that's **a lot** of money that a kid wouldn't have, and a lot of expensive hood-accommodating construction that a kid wouldn't be able to do. I think it's his dad's lab to be honest. His dad works in chem lab and has access to all of this stuff and know-how. And you can see some thick books in the pics, probably his dad's too. Or his parents are super rich and built him a lab. But where do they go from there? That's a massive investment in equipment only to abandon it after a few giggles. The inevitable direction of what they want to do next is where I start to have problems with this setup. \n\nBack to the comment though, I (and probably (hopefully) a majority of chemists) don't \"really fucking hate\" amateur chemists. In fact I respect them for liking chemistry and wanting to explore the topic for themselves hands-on and in-depth *as long as they do it safely where they're not a threat to themselves, others, or the environment.* \n\n>To give a little perspective, 3 years full time at University level will make you just about able to suck at doing Synthesis, and when I say suck at Synthesis, I mean barely competent. \n\nIf after 3 years of chem you're \"barely competent\" in the lab then it's past time to change your major. I don't know what kinds of people OP has run into but by my 3rd year the only incompetent chemists in the lab were bio majors. I mean my god, they were just terrible. Words can't even begin to desc... ahem, anyway. \n\n>Plus, the rotary is rigged up incorrectly as it has no cooling source for the condenser and it's out in the open rather than in a fumehood.\n\nEh, you don't *need* a water source hooked up if you're not trying to drive off solvents. The cold glass alone inside the condenser is enough to condense solvents if you know what you're doing, such as heating a reaction mix. The rotary is the only source of heat that I spotted in the pics unless I missed something. But look at the other pic, it looks like he knows about the concept of condensation and can hook up the water hoses if he wants. \n\n>There's also a random overhead stirrer in the fumehood (box contraption on the right of the sticker in the fumehood). Random because it's used to stir large volumes of reactions that are too big to be sufficiently agitated using a magnetic stirrer bar, yet the owner of this lab is not kitted out for large scale. It's just sat in the hood rather than being put away. Shows they probably don't know what it is and it's there because it \"looks cool\". Again, highly suspicious. Even more scary is they'll attempt to perform large scale chemistry. Some more perspective, remember how 3 years full time makes you barely competent? I've met a lot of people who hold a PhD and several years experience in industry who are great Chemists, but can't work on large scale safely which goes to show how dangerous it can be.\n\nThis whole paragraph is garbage. You can use an over-head stirrer in place of a stir bar to mix small volumes, you just need the shaft and some fittings. Some of the PhDs in my lab prefer them over stir bars because they're more flexible in their usage (can run viscous solutions, can control speed easier, can run larger volumes). And we don't put them away. They're hanging there out of the way and they're set up for immediate use. Putting overhead stirrers away is stupid. They take up space and some leak oil when flipped. \n\n>Speaking of which, fumehoods are a lot like kitchen extractor fans - they can be installed in a really shitty fashion. Just because it's installed, doesn't mean it's actually working. That fumehood, if used to extract toxic fumes, doesn't come readily attached with a filter, it needs to be attached to a system which filters out the fumes. So, he'd just be pumping air out murdering birds and wildlife. On the topic of disposal, he's got nowhere to get rid of any solvents and byproducts he makes. This is also a massive environmental hazard.\n\nThe only good bit about this comment. Those fumes are (presumably) being directly ejected into the atmosphere, which is bad. I didn't see any dedicated hazardous waste cans, which is bad. I didn't see a separate wash sink, which is bad. No spark-free environment? Bad. No fire-suppression system? Bad. No shower nearby? Bad. This kiddie stuff is fine but once you get more serious then I have to be very, very concerned. All of that shit should absolutely not be in the air, in the ocean, or in landfills. Or your skin, or your eyes, or your lungs. All of the haz waste from my lab is picked up by a haz waste processing company. It's expensive but it must be done. What does this kid do with haz waste? Nothing. His dad probably takes it to his real lab for disposal.  \n\nAlso another reason why I think it's his dad's lab who works in a chem lab: absolutely no analytical equipment. You need at least a meltemp or something to figure out what the fuck you made. And don't get me started on how expensive analytical equipment can get. His dad probably shit-mixes at home and brings in a sample for analytical work. The son makes colorful solutions and puts pics of \"his\" lab on reddit. \n\nCould be a number of reasons for why his dad built the lab at home, I'm sure other chemists can speculate on that.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_47fflg", "post_id": "47fflg", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/4765yk/rchemistry_reacts_explosively_to_a_high_school/d0aivjd", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/47fflg/uanothercellardoor_explains_how_to_identify_an/", "post_created_utc": 1456352443, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d0cxfv3", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 76, "answer_created_utc": 1456376072}}

With the Great Depression, much of the private and personal funding of Eugenic societies and organizations dried up. The Eugenic Records Office, which relied mostly on funds from the Rockefeller, then Carnegie foundations, was shut down in 1935, Laughlin was forced to retire in 1939 and the ERO was closed in 1939. Without the primary Eugenic Office and funding Eugenic thought was on its way out, the Depression, swiftly followed by World War II signed the death warrant for Eugenic thought in the United States. \n\nIf the NRA had lost its funding in 2008, would that be the death of gun rights thought in the US? Not unless gun rights had already lost so much support in the population that there was no point keeping it going and nothing would replace it.

That's a **big deal**. Assuming that Donald Trump doesn't usher in the Fourth Reich and overthrow the government, I predict that the ideas that this campaign has been fighting for are going to end up transforming our country. \n\nThis is the beginning of the end of the right-wing hegemony in America since Reagan - look at the Republicans right now. They are tearing themselves apart, and I think that this time the party may not make it out of this election in one piece. People are looking for new ideas, new ways of governance, they're tired of the status quo, and they're righteously angry. It's the perfect time for a political realignment - but it will only happen if the people who have been roused to action by Bernie keep fighting and keep staying involved. You have to keep ideas alive with your voice, or else they will be forgotten. \n\nChange doesn't happen by itself. Elect new congresspeople, elect new state representatives, start a political action committee, run for office yourself! But do something. This is just one battle. The fight will continue.

It's essentially impossible to seriously decouple economic growth from emissions growth until about 2100 (best case scenario)  in the game, and emissions levels don't stabilize until ~2060 (best case scenario). Meanwhile in reality emission levels are no longer growing globally and economic growth is now rapidly decoupling from emissions. \n\nEDIT: Another thing that really frustrates me about FotW's simulation is that it operates on completely false assumptions about how markets work and refuses to offer any market oriented policy solutions to problems. Technology only proliferates by government mandate. Rich nations with agricultural shortages are seemingly incapable of importing food.  Economies with advanced competitive renewable energy alternatives do not transition from scarce fossil fuels unless by government mandate. Factories don't transition to oil and coal feedstock alternatives unless the government tells them to, even in the face of crippling shortages.\n\nIt's a totally broken and flawed model designed to sensationalize the challenge ahead of us with climate change.

{"question_title": "/u/hdah24 Explains the connection between Islam and extremism as a reaction to westernization of religion.", "body": "While I agree that you have to understand Islam to understand ISIS, I think that both hdah24's admitted Atheism, and his narrow focus of study, makes his point a bit muddled. When you have a hammer, and you're biased against nails, everything looks like a nail. He also just sort insults the intelligence of the people he sees that don't understand, but that isn't very helpful to us in understanding whats going on.\n\nI've taken classes on both Islam and Terrorism. The issue with terrorism is that every major religion in the world has had terrorists come from its ranks (including Buddhism). It isn't the specific religion that causes terrorism, its actually always politics underlyingly. By definition terrorism is about asymmetric warfare, about a power relationship between two or more sides, and therefore is political in nature. \n\nLet me differentiate though:\n\n***Act of Terror:***\n\nAn act of terror can be committed by one or more individuals for the purpose causing terror in a general or target populace. These sorts of attacks are usually fundamentally about untreated mental illness playing out. Think of the Colombine Shooters. They were in it for the effect, but had no really over-arching motive beyond that. They just wanted to do harm to people, some they didn't like and some just because they could. This is an act of terror.\n\n***State-Terror:***\n\nState-sponsored terror, should also be differentiated as states have been know to enact terror as a tool against enemies. War has often involved actions whose primary focus was terroristic. If the state commits the act themselves, we call it State terror, and if they simply sponsor it, as you might surmise, we call it state-sponsored terrorism. The difference here is that when states do it, its not about a smaller power trying to equalize power relationship, its just another tactic of war.  \n\n***Terrorism:***\n \nTerrorism is not merely an act of terror and ISIS is not a group that commits mere acts of terror. They are terrorists. They  ***do*** terrorism. This is to say they, as the weaker power in a relationship between powers, are using terror to cause psychological damage to an enemy population because more conventional warfare is not an option to them realistically (they don't have the man power, weapons, vehicles, expertise). \n\n***The Politics of Terror:***\n\nNow politics can be religiously focused. Churches, sects, creeds, etc. can and are political entities. The radical clerics that organize, radicalize, etc. for ISIS and other groups are religious figures and they use religious arguments to persuade their adherents. The fighters themselves view things through a religious lens and justify their actions religiously. However, the reason we know what their doing is primarily political is because A) the methods they use are political (terror as I mentioned is political), and B) the historical reason fundamentalism grew to be what it is today in the Islamic world, is because of political power. It was a push back, not only against the westernization that hadah24 talks about, but against western/soviet incursion/control. It would be like some other super power putting up a puppet government in the US, and then the more die-hard Christian Fundamentalists ousting them and taking over. That is a matter of politics, not religion. It just so happens a highly religious group took control. hdah24 is getting into the minds of the fighters themselves when he talks about how important Islam is to understanding ISIS, but fundamentally ISIS is more a response to a lawless, power vacuum left by Saddam, the US, and the Syrian government. It was an opportunity for a group to take over politically, and they took it. The average fighter's perspective, though important for dealing with issues like radicalization, tells us nothing about the real underlying reason any of this taking place. \n\nMy argument is that, while you should not disassociate ISIS with Islam, you also shouldn't assume that Islam is the primary focus either. It isn't. Its about power and control, which is politics. \n\nHe says here:\n\n>Some of those things have elements of truth - marginalization, poverty and retribution certainly are causes as well. Yet the biggest cause, above anything else, is their religious belief.\n\nThese things don't just have elements of truth, they core to why Terrorism happens everywhere it happens. What we would call ISIS is a 'weak-actor', that is a weaker power, whom is striking against a larger power. The reason they are weaker, is historical, economic, and sociological. Historically they dealt with western incursion (the CIA specifically), economically they are often deeply reliant on oil or other captured commodities, and sociologically they are living in incredibly unequal societies. These are the biggest reasons that fundamentalism took over, as each issue feeds into the other issues and lowers standard of living, education, etc. Happy populaces don't resort to guns, fundamentalism, revolt, and terrorism in a large way (there are always some kooks, as you might find in the US). You can say this sort of view is liberal and paternalistic, but I am not arguing they are not responsible for their actions, or that west should feel particularly responsible (except maybe the CIA, ha), or they know not what they do, or that pure ignorance is the biggest issue here. Factually, most terrorists tend to be educated, the same way most revolutionary organizers come from educated middle classes. Islam, specifically fundamentalist Islam, is their outlook and their personal justification, but nothing more than that. Beyond that lies the politics of power, history, and society in the Islamic world. The human mind can find justification for any action in any religion.  \n\n***TL;DR:*** ISIS is very much an Islamic group, but terrorism isn't a religious thing, its a political thing, and so to say that that the root cause of ISIS is religion, is absolutely not true. Its politics, always politics. The whole reason ISIS exists, was able to take power, and is as fundamentalist as it is, is because of politics.

As a Tunisian, I noticed that quite a few in the thread question whether or not ousting Ben Ali, the dictator, was a good idea. They argue that things were better before, therefore it was a bad idea.\n\nYes, the economy was stable before, *if* you regard widespread corruption and ownership of most large corporations in the hands of the ruling family stability. Many foreign companies didn't operate in Tunisia due to corruption. The Trabelsi family, which the wife of Ben Ali belongs to, required companies to give them a cut of their profits before they could set up shop in Tunisia.\n\nFreedom of speech was non-existent.\n\nThere were three Tunisian television channels... that's right, three! One was the state's news channel and mouthpiece. Every single news broadcast started with a some news about the president Ben Ali, whether it was important or not. It was fucking hilarious. The other two channels mainly had soap operas and reality shows.\n\nIf you talked about the government in the wrong way, you went to prison. If you were a member of any party the government disliked, you were harassed or ended up in prison. If you were a devout Muslim and practiced regularly, you went to prison. A popular saying back then was \"the walls have ears\". If you visit the mosque regularly and are young, you'll be monitored. Mosques are constantly monitored. Have a beard? You'll be monitored. And so on. It was a mess for practicing Muslims, even though 99% of the country follows Islam. It was considerably worse than even post-9/11 USA! You might argue these measures were effective given that there were fewer terrorist attacks back in those days, but the two time periods cannot be compared. Libya was not in turmoil back then. And more crucially, ISIS did not exist.\n\nMany of the current members of various parties were either living in exile or spent years in prison. There were entire secret prisons dedicated solely to political dissidents. Torture in these prisons was the norm. One of the more famous of these was revealed after the revolution. You know where it was? Under the Ministry of Interior on one of the most famous streets in the country!\n\nBut why haven't things improved? It's only been 5 years. We lived under a dictator for 20 years, and we became a democracy essentially overnight. Even after 5 years, people are still not acquainted with how a democracy works.

We have ISIS performing maneuvers at the Tunisia-Libya border.

{"question_title": "/u/SrGatonegro critiques a computer-generated painting in the style of Rembrandt", "body": "Too often, images like these are presented as \"computers can create art!\" Like the absurd claim two decades ago that CGI would obviate the acting profession entirely (proven quite wrong by not only the continued existence of actors, even in CGI-heavy films but also by the best CG performances being given by *actors in motion capture suits*) I think some folks just desperately want to stick it to artists. Computers can write articles and paint pictures!! -or so they love to boast. But they don't really...\n\n>Looking at a painting and imitating the way things look on it is one thing, but understanding why they look the way they do is an entirely different matter. That understanding of the \"why\" is what makes Rembrandt who he is.\n\nTo me, this is the very crux of the problem. Computers are never going to *create art.* Now, that doesn't mean a *true AI* might not create art some day far in the future but we have no true AI -computers at best *can* have limited AI but not nearly with the depth and complexity to spontaneously decide to express itself artistically.\n\nFor all practical intents and purposes, all that is happening now is a computer is executing a list of commands in software designed by a human. If I create a Rube Goldberg machine that takes 25 steps (the candle burns the cord that drops the weight that lands on the teeter-totter etc) to deposit oil on canvas, does it mean the machine is creating art? I say it is no more creating art than my paint brush is creating art in one step.\n\nArt is a human experience, the pathos of an actor with whom you can identify, an image on canvas that stirs your emotions or thoughts, a series of symbol crashes and violin strings that takes you on an aural journey -ALL art speaks to some part of you and it does so by deliberate choices on the part of the artist, choices that elicit the reactions you experience.\n\nSo too is the programmer making deliberate choices that he subjectively believes constitutes art. Even if it's a programmatic Rube Goldberg machine, it cannot think up experiences to convey or evoke all by itself -it merely executes the artistic vision of the programmer. You can even create a program that randomly selects a theme and represents it with abstractions that convey the meaning of that theme but it will be your list of abstractions, your list of themes and your directives as to what you think abstractly represents things. Thus, the programmer used software like a paintbrush to create what *he* thought a Rembrandt was, and not what the computer thought it was.\n\nUntil a sufficiently sapient artificial intelligence can experience and interpret its experiences, reflect on them, and choose to convey a thought, a feeling, a notion through representative means we cannot claim a computer created any art at all.

{"question_title": "/u/explicit_snark describes the depiction of female beauty in ancient and Renaissance art", "body": "I think by starting with the Paleolithic \"Venuses\", the author is giving too strong a sense of change.  There's not really any evidence that the sculptures were supposed to represent ideals for human beauty--rather, it seems likely that they could have been meant to represent something else entirely (say, fertility).  I have a bit of a longer discussion [here making that argument](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/4fhtij/did_most_women_as_depicted_in_many_renaissance/d29gzoc?context=2).\n\nBut without that paragraph about the paleolithic Venuses, the comment basically explains Greek beauty standards (well) and then goes on to say that the Romans more or less adopted them, and then a sentence or two about how these standards were emulated by renaissance painters.  That's all true, but we're left with a much less sweeping answer.  And doesn't, I don't think, get directly the much more interesting question that was asked--how much these representations fit with the actual bodies of women at the time.  It's hinted at (these represent *ideals*, not *realities*), but that's never explicitly addressed.   However, I think /u/printculture's post [showing a wider range of bodies](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/4fhtij/did_most_women_as_depicted_in_many_renaissance/), combined with the prose of the linked post by /u/explicit_snark, helps bring an actual answer to the question: yes, these were ideals, and women do seem have had a range of bust sizes, then as now.  It's also notable that many Renaissance artists who portray large breasts in /u/postculture's list are from Northern Europe, who were less consciously and fastidiously imitating classical models.  This actually ads to /u/explicit_snark's main point, rather than detracts from it--when we think \"Renaissance\", we think of artists with names like \"Perugino\" and \"Giotto\", not names like \"Pieter Breugel\" and \"Jan van Eyck\"; that is, we think of the Italian Renaissance (steeped in classical ideals), not the Northern European Renaissance (which played more with realism and delt less with realism).  \n\nSpeaking of beauty standards, there's a great /r/badhistory post by /u/chocolatepot (a regular at /r/askhistorians and founder of /r/askfashionhistory) about how Downton Abby gets the costumes *mostly* right but they miss one key thing about the beauty standards of the era: our contemporary standards expect breasts to be high up and pushed together, while in the period in which Downton takes place the standard much more expected breasts to be low and separated.  This means that, while a lot of period movies spend a lot of time and effort getting accurate costumes, because they get the corsets, brassieres, etc. wrong, they actually end up looking rather anachronistic.  Fascinating--something I'd literally never thought about before in my life.

{"question_title": "/u/lared930 on Poland's political-constitutional crisis.", "body": "(this is long, but I hope worth reading)\n\nIn 1997, Fareed Zakaria (when he was managing of editor of Foreign Affairs and far more academic than later, when he edited Newsweek or now when he has that show on CNN) wrote a fantastic article called \"The Rise of Illiberal Democracy\"  (you can read it [here](https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/1997-11-01/rise-illiberal-democracy)).  It's proved far more prescient that more lauded post-Cold War predictions like Fukuyama's \"[End of History](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_History_and_the_Last_Man)\" or Huntington's \"[Clash of Civilizations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_Civilizations)\"\\*.  I should say that I think \"properly understood\", Fukuyama's argument is still counter-intuitively true: liberal democracy doesn't have any real *ideological* challenge, so when it's under attack, the states in question almost invariably drape themselves in the aura of liberal regimes.\n\nThere are elections, but elections with rigged results and real opposition parties hobbled.  There is private property, but at the top the economy is run by a corrupt \"crony capitalists\" system where where regime allies get rewarded with contracts and more and companies have to hire overpaid government lacks.  There are claims of free speech, but there's at most token opposition newspaper for the intellectuals to write in but for no one to read, and a very tight control over television news and all other newspapers.  There are claims of an independent judiciary, but the regime uses its resources to influence judicial rules and ruling as it sees fit.    Unlike fascism, unlike communism, unlike even the old monarchists, there is no real ideological basis for their differences between these states and Western liberal democracies..  They simply have \"strong leaders\", but that's no ideology. They tend to simply paper over their other differences claiming that yes, we have market economies, and yes we have elections, and yes we have freedom of the press.\n\nIn Zakaria's view, an illiberal democracy ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illiberal_democracy)) is a state where elections take place, but the elections are not truly competitive and there is not an \"open society\" in any sense and most of the standard liberal rights (freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, inalienable right to property, right to due process, etc.) don't exist and, at a very basic level, there is not the rule of law.  Of these, the rule of law might be the most crucial and the most underrated.  The rule of law is the very simple idea that everyone is equal before the law--there are no special provisions for political allies, there are no targeted prosecutions of political opponents, there is no pressure on judges to rule one way or the other.  There is a truly independent judiciary.  While the media and the Western governments so often focus on voting in assessing fledgling democracies, when in reality the rule of law is just as important, if not more important.\n\nAnd that's what's being undermined in Poland's increasingly illiberal democracy.  There's still voting, there's a freely elected political assembly, but the rule of law is under attack, as /u/lared930 describes.  And Poland's new regime is just the latest in long, sad line of these.  \n\nI should pause here to say that the liberal democracy doesn't mean \"liberal as opposed to conservative\", as it does in the U.S., or \"liberal as opposed to social democratic\", as it does in much of the rest of the world.  Liberal here is opposed to despotic.  There are plenty of both conservative democracies and social democratic democracies.   Liberal, here, is in the much more basic sense of a government based on inalienable rights.\n\nSome of the cases of illiberal democracy are obvious.  Iran holds regular elections but was never a liberal democracy.  Russia was never a sterling democracy, but all through the 90's it was increasingly liberal, until Putin came to power.  Singapore is a classic case of a highly functional illiberal democracy (they do have strong rights in many areas and even the rule of law, though no real political opposition).  Elections under Mugabe has been such a sham that it's hard to even call it an illiberal democracy, but it's hard to remember that in the 1980's Zimbabwe was seen as promising country.  Hungary is increasingly illiberal under Fidesz.  Turkey is increasingly illiberal under the AKP.  The regimes the U.S. set up in Iraq and Afghanistan are both definitely illiberal democracies.  It's not just from the right/conservative side--Venezuela under Chaves was an obviously illiberal democracy.\n\nIt's scary, and I worry that more and more this is what we're going to see.  While the West will not be able to force a world powers like Russia or China to treat their citizens with justice, it's tremendously sad that that the West (understandably especially since the Financial Crisis) has been hesitant to use it's soft power to keep its allied democracies, well, democratic.  Because of trade relations, because of the need for allies in the Global War on Terror, because of many other reasons, the U.S. and E.U. have been reluctant to condemn \"backsliding\" by emerging democracies.  Egypt had a coup in 2013, and it's illegal for the U.S. to give certain kinds of aid to coup governments.  Everyone knows it was a coup in Egypt, but no one in the U.S. government can call it that because to acknowledge it as a coup would mean we, legally, have to cut our military aid to them.  So we just call it a military intervention, bada bing, bada boom (see [here](http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/latest-news/us-ducks-decision-on-egypt-coup/story-fn3dxix6-1226686668544) for more context).  John Kerry even Orwellianly said that the military \"restored democracy\" by removing Morsi from power (Morsi's regime was quickly illiberal, granted).  But there's almost never any consequence for allies whose regimes no longer are based all the rights we take for granted.\n\nJohn McCain, who I often disagree with on foreign policy, was the first American politician to call the \"military intervention\" in Egypt a coup.  It made me think back to something he suggested in the '08 campaign.  Based on an earlier proposal by some think tank wonks, McCain proposed a \"League of Democracies\" ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_of_Democracies)).  At the time, I thought, \"What a dumb idea, we already have a United Nations,\" but, now in retrospect, maybe he was right.\n\nWhen a country like Saudi Arabia is elected to the UN's Human Rights Council, the United Nations is a joke not even worth laughing at anymore.  It's hard for me to imagine a way that it could help shore up democracy when only a minority of its members are democracies.  The thing is, there needs to be *some* organization of states to ensure democracy. There's a massive collective action problem with condemning illiberal changes--the U.S. doesn't want cut ties with Egypt because that means it will do trade with other countries, would mean other countries would have more influence in its affairs (usually, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, either super powers or petro-states).  However, a well organized League of Democracies would have tremendous soft power.  While China might not care, a country like Poland or Turkey would be tremendously embarrassed to be suspended, and presumably this would collectively put pressure on those governments to reform without any one country having to \"lose out\" on trade and influence.  While the leaders would nationalistically say that the U.S. and E.U. are trying to sap its strength, I hope that such a clear condemnation from all other democracies would have an effect on its citizenry.\n\nBut until there's a some sort of coordinated collective action agreement by the E.U., Japan, South Korea, the U.S., and the rest of the democratic Anglo-sphere, I'm really worried that we're only going to see more cases of countries become hollowed out, illiberal Potemkin democracies.  \n\n\\* *Just a small side note on Huntington, who often comes up in these discussions of the post-Cold War order*: I just want say that many people give Huntington far more credit than he deserves.  Almost every conflict that he predicted hasn't happened.  Most conflicts still take place *within* his civilizational lines, rather than across them.  The closest conflict to the type of conflict he predicted, the one between Sunni and Shi'a militants (usually backed by the Gulf States and Iran respectively), he didn't predict at all since he saw a unitary \"Islamic Civilization\".  What he didn't understand was that it's not civilizations, but good old nationalism (both ethno-religious and ethnolinguistic) that is driving much of the post-Cold War conflict, just as it ran most of the pre-Cold War, pre-Fascist conflict.  There's really no evidence of the kind of \"civilizational\" conflicts that he talks about--and I can say this with confidence because political scientists have repeatedly tested his predictions.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_4gk6in", "post_id": "4gk6in", "post_url": "https://np.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/4giydj/polish_supreme_court_has_decided_to_respect_the/d2i83wb?context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/4gk6in/ulared930_on_polands_politicalconstitutional/", "post_created_utc": 1461694870, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d2iny00", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 45, "answer_created_utc": 1461715535}}

The [prison-industrial-complex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison%E2%80%93industrial_complex) is a huge factor too, since removing that many breadwinners from a family drastically reduces their ability to climb out of poverty. Plus all the court fees, bullshit, and time away from work. \n\nThe [school-to-prison pipeline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_school-to-prison_link) is another. Instead of having local schools that allow students to have pride in their community, young kids are often put into large, bland, monolithic government schools that institute archaic \"Three strike policies\" in order to get kids involved with corrupt police from an early age instead of trying to teach them how to fix their behavior in a more positive way. Why the *fuck* would you *suspend* a student who's already behind in their studies from attending class? How does *expulsion* help anyone besides teachers from lawsuits (maybe)? All it does is make them a prime target for a life of crime/low-wage work, all because they weren't model students at the age of 12.\n\nAnother factor is that once you have so many black guys in prison, [the ones that are left don't have to try as hard to find black women.](http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/04/why_is_it_so_hard_to_find_a_go.html)\n\nThe issue is far more complex than housing, ~~and I think that black pop culture *does* have an effect on black people being poor and involved in crime.~~\n\nEdit: I realize there is scant/conclusive evidence on that last piece of information, none that I have seen yet that I would consider convincing.

{"question_title": "Why are the people of the Old Testament so long living?", "body": "A lot can be said about this.\n\nA brief primer that folks are increasingly familiar with: Note that The Bible is a library of ancient scrolls written over an enormous time frame, some fragmented, and translated not just between languages, but between vast time frames and very different cultures. On technicals, The Bible can be extremely interesting. The way people put faith in it is by believing it carries a very accurate image of God, and thus they read it trustingly (projective identification) or by impressing personal and cultural assumptions onto the work. Over eons, this practice creates traditions that actually shape culture and language itself, and thus causes us not to understand what The Bible is saying. \n\nThis isn't an issue of literalism verses symbolism, but of where euphemism is being used and where information has been fudged.\n \nFor example, when Lot's wife turns to \"a pillar of salt\", this could easily be understood (from the context of the story, language, and so on) not as a miraculous curse, but a euphemism saying that she \"turned white as a ghost\" and died where she stood from terror. This would explain why God said not to look back. Readers who desired to learn about God inferred it was a moral lesson to listen to God when they ran into what they didn't understand, rather than a simple ancient euphemism meant to more vividly describe a climactic scene in the story.\n\nThe same with God saying \"I will harden Pharaoh's heart\" in Exodus, which spawned entire theologies and theories on divine morality and predestination, when the meaning is also euphemistic liken to \"I will piss Pharaoh off\". Written today and read thousands of years from now, people might believe God deactivated Pharaoh's ability to pee for some reason. I'm not being facetious, this is a huge hurdle to understanding The Bible and it pertains to this problem.\n\nReading The Bible as literature is therefore very taboo and difficult, and understanding it as history (or having been taken as history) requires an understanding of each book's timeframe, culture, language, even attitudes.\n\nSo you might think that the Golden Calf was worshipped instead of God. Knowing that the Israelites were said to have left Egypt, and knowing ancient Egypt, you'd understand that the Golden Calf was meant to be a new Apis; a bull that would ferry praises to heaven for God. A divine bull is needed to carry the weight of so many praises, and the new Yahweh would need a new calf. Why would Yahweh be mad at this? Possibly because Moses found him in an abandoned Midianite shrine, and to be taken as \"new\" when you're the ancient Creator who was forgotten by his people and relegated to a Midianite shrine is pretty bad. They were to understand that Yahweh had come back from them, and was near to them.\n\nYet modern believers don't even know the significance of the shrine's location, or even note it, or even note that it's an abandoned shrine (Moses doesn't even notice it, is told by the lonely god to remove his sandals, \"holy ground\", there is a shrub, etc.).\n\nSo to that end, Exodus 2:10 says something like this:\n\n>*The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, \"Because I drew him out of the water.\"*\n\nWhich is another example of hidden information. For one, the Pharaoh's daughter wouldn't be speaking Hebrew or naming the child she saved and planned to raise as an Egyptian a Hebrew name. Second, \"Moses\" is Egyptian for \"son of\". Ramses is literally Ra-moses, or \"son of Ra\", Thutmose or Thutmosis is \"Son of Thut\". So \"Moses\" would have been son of the river goddess, because he was drawn out of the water, and he would have later became \"Moses\" when disavowing his Egyptian identity. Obvious to ancient readers, and lost on readers for literally thousands of years--his actual name perhaps edited out.\n\nI told you all this to put a taste in your mouth concerning your question.\n\nThese could be longevity myths. They could also be an ancient translation issue. Some folks have proposed, since academic efforts to revive the ancient Hebrew lunar calendar, that these were monthly cycles and not years--later understood as years. At the moment, these theories aren't as well supported as the context of Moses' name, because these stories are extremely ancient.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_4l3kvu", "post_id": "4l3kvu", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/412z1w/biblical_historians_why_are_the_lifespans_of/cyz9uj4", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/4l3kvu/why_are_the_people_of_the_old_testament_so_long/", "post_created_utc": 1464235447, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d3k4gz3", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 415, "answer_created_utc": 1464242866}}

{"question_title": "/u/zap283 neatly explains, with examples, how sounds used in digital music (techno, house, etc.) are made.", "body": "This is actually more of a description of how some sounds are made in analog electronic music and how they are emulated in digital electronic music. \n\nEDIT: I wanted to actually qualify this statement now that I have a little more time.\n\nWhen talking about synthesis it's useful to go back to the pre-electronic roots. IMHO, The first instrument that could be considered a synthesizer, albeit a mechanical one, is the common church organ. This uses a method of producing sound that we now call \"additive synthesis\". Additive synthesis works by using a fixed number of sound generators that each produce a relatively simple waveform (sine or triangle-like waves). Each generator is tuned to a specific harmonic, the relative volumes (amplitude) of which is adjusted to create a specific sound. The stacking of all of these simple tones is what gives additive synthesis its name. For church organs, these tone generators are the massive arrays of tubes that surround the controls. Emulating this approach electronically was one of the first types of analog synthesis. Unsurprisingly, additive synthesis is really good at produce rich organ like sounds.\n\nSubtractive synthesis (which is mostly what is being described in the linked post) takes another approach: A wave is generated that is already rich in harmonics (usually a variety of saw tooth or pulse wave, the square wave mentioned is just a specific type of pulse wave, occasionally a noise generator might be used as well) and using filters to remove some frequencies. There are a variety of filters that can be used (highpass, lowpass, bandpass, notch, etc.) to remove frequencies although low pass filters are by far the most common. Many analog synthesizers also included the ability to boost the frequencies around the point where the filter was set, this is called resonance (in analog synth terms, the word has other meaning elsewhere.) As analog synths improved, functionality was added to dynamically change properties on the fly, either by using an ADSR envelope (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) as mentioned in the linked post, or by linking certain parameters (frequency, amplitude, pulse width or the characteristics of the filter(s)) to an additional wave/oscillator. Depending on what that additional oscillator is modifying this functionality can be called LFO (low frequency oscillator), VCF (voltage controlled filter), PWM (pulse width modulation), Vibrato or Gating, etc. The classic analog synthesizers Roland TB-303 and the Moog as well as the Roland TR-808 drum machine are pretty much the definitive examples of subtractive synthesis. \n\nThe concept of using one oscillator to modify the properties of another oscillator gave birth to another type of analog synthesis: FM synthesis. The simplest form of this is using one oscillator to modify the frequency of the other oscillator. The modulating oscillator is often of a high enough frequency to produce an tone that humans can hear (as opposed to VFC or PWM where the modulator is usually well below the 20hz human detectable threshold.) The actual wave forms used are usually quite simple as FM synthesis will produce a number of very interesting harmonics. This method of synthesis falls in and out of favor, of the analog synthesis techniques it's the least intuitive but can generate fascinating sounds. It can produce everything from weird noisy alien sounding squelches to the cool harmonic rich sounds of electric pianos and organs like the Rhodes or Hammond B3. The Yamaha DX-7 is the most famous of the classic FM synths. \n\nInstead of using an oscillator to modulate the frequency of another oscillator, it could be applied to the amplitude. This is called AM synthesis or ring modulation. It tends to be a bit atonal and is more often used for sound effects.\n\nAll of the above are strictly analog, but now emulated digitally and combined in very rich and fascinating ways. Outside of emulation, there are not that many types of digital synthesis. PCM or Wavetable synthesis uses a wavetable, which is essentially a long high fidelity sample. The entire sample isn't used for a given note, only a subset after which it may loop an even smaller portion (or perform other tricks like reversing direction) to extend the length of the sound. On top of this filters and ADSR envelopes are applied. In a high end digital piano, for example, there are usually multiple wavetables mapped across the keyboard that overlap to some extent. This allows the device to reproduce the nuanced sounds of a piano with pretty good accuracy.\n\nAnother interesting form of digital synthesis is granular synthesis, although it sometimes goes by other names. The concept here is to take a given sample, chop it into arbitrarily small chunks and then play them back. The can be played out of order, or repeated a number of times and usually have parameters defining both an ADSR envelope for the individual chunks and for the \"note\" as a whole. Although granular synthesis tends to introduce artifacts into the sound (which may or may not be desirable), it's extremely fascinating as it can be used to manipulate either the frequency or the time domain of a sound source independently or in combination. Examples of this are known as timestretching or pitchshifting (time and frequency domains respectively). It's part of how devices like Auto Tune works.\n\n\nI could write a novel about this, there are a lot of things I didn't cover (polyphony, arpeggiators, bit depth and bit crushing, vocoders, sequencers, side-chaining and modular synthesis &c.) but I should really get _some_ work done today :) Feel free to respond with questions though and I'll reply to the best of my ability.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_4m7agn", "post_id": "4m7agn", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/4havxk/eli5_how_is_digital_music_such_as_techno_electro/d2ot29c", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/4m7agn/uzap283_neatly_explains_with_examples_how_sounds/", "post_created_utc": 1464876176, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d3t63z7", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 37, "answer_created_utc": 1464880623}}

{"question_title": "/u/Medveded explains Putin's appeal to modern Russians", "body": "Reposting my own comment from r/bestof.\n\n---\n\nRussian here. I wouldn't go so far as to say that is full of shit, but some of the things he says make me suspect that he's the most sinister kind of pro-Putin shill - the kind that's just smart and well-spoken enough to spew Putin propaganda without resorting to outright lies. Even though, here are my problems with what he says:\n\n    I'm inclined to believe that most rigging was in favor of the two most popular candidates after Putin: Zyuganov and Prokhorov\n\nHe states this twice, yet doesn't provide a rationale. WHY does he believe that the minority candidates engaged in rigging? What evidence is there of rigging in favor of Zyuganov or Prokhorov?\n\nI myself was an observer for Prokhorov in 2012. At my voting station there was definite voting fraud and attempted voting fraud in favor of Putin.\n\n1) Committee members obstructing observers from actually observing while registering suspicious voters. Suspicious as in several dozen people arriving all together in a bus with no markings, while the voting station is within three minutes walking distance from all the buildings it serves.\n\n2) A supposed observer for Putin later turned out to be an employee of the city district administration's \"Public safety office\". Incidentally, it is illegal for any state bureaucrat to serve as an observer in a presidential election.\n\n3) By law, ballots must be counted out loud. The same committee members who protected the suspicious voters also tried to subvert that process by saying that counting votes out loud is too much of a hassle. Now, I don't know, maybe there are some huge voting stations where that is impractical, but ours literally served just three apartment blocks with a total of ~500 voters. There's absolutely no excuse for the committee members to insist on quick flip count, especially since they're not even the ones doing the counting - there's a special person for that.\n\n4) When the ballots were counted and the results showed a victory for Putin, but with a vote less than 50%, the illegal \"observer\" for Putin grabbed the committee chairman (well, chairgrandma, really) and the unsigned vote result report (i.e. the Big Important Document that is signed to actually finalize the voting process and results) and took off in an unmarked car. When they returned hours later both the illegal Putin observer AND the chairman insisted first on recount, then on an annulment of the whole vote. Similar events were reported from other voting station where Putin got a <50% vote.\n\nAnd that's just my voting station - a tiny and unimportant one in a very liberal part of a very liberal city. A friend got actually assaulted when trying to stop vote stuffing in favor of Putin. So there's the rationale behind beliving that Putin's side engaged in vote rigging. What's the evidence on Prokhorov or Zyuganov?\n\n    the news sources in question are mostly Gawker level tabloids, along with their TV partners\n\nThis is the most sinister part of his comment because while not being totally true, it's not exactly untrue either. He does say \"mostly\" and the next part\n\n    These news agencies, if you can call them that, tend to nit pick at mild and moderate annoyances that exist, deconstruct and over-analyze them to death, and blame everything on the status quo\n\nThis - is kinda sorta true. Criticism of the regime does indeed sometimes blow things out of proportion. Like, you know, a law that bans adoption of children by foreigners may be spinned into \"condemning children to death\"\n\nBut get this - just because criticism is sometimes blown out of proportion, it doesn't become invalid. Now, if those news sources engaged in outright lying about the status quo, that would probably at least somewhat justify the censorship. But they don't. They're censored because they criticize the regime and while both tabloid-level rags and actual news sources are targeted, in the current wasteland that used to be Russian media, only the tabloids are left standing.\n\n    effectively they act as agitators and provide no suggestions for how to solve problems\n\nAgain, not true, but not technically untrue. It's a favorite tactic of Putin supporters to accuse the opposition of not having \"solutions\", except they keep moving the goalposts on that. If someone says generalized things like \"fight corruption\" and \"make courts actually work\" they will ask for something more detailed. Various thinkers, activists and politicians did come out with all kinds of proposals as to how to implement their proposed solutions - at which point the Putinists demand to know the actual people who are supposed to implement them. And so on.\n\nAnd besides, it's not the job of a news source to suggest ways to deal with a corrupt bureaucrat, or money laundering, or misuse of local budgets. Their job is to report on those things.\n\n    Regarding politicians, it's not that the United Russia party actively seeks them out and destroys them\n\nAt least not without plausible deniability. And yet, anyone who isn't 100% aligned with Putin and who manages to amass any sort of influence suddenly gets accused of something and put on trial. Except that one presidential candidate in 2012 who got outright kidnapped, but that guy just had shit luck, I suppose. Anyway, all those trials wouldn't be a problem if we knew that the judiciary is functioning, fair and trustworthy, right? But do we trust the judiciary to be that way? Well, I guess we do, since any news source that reports on fishy trials gets censored, and so no judiciary corruption is reported. And no reports of corruption means no corruption, right?\n\nThe guy in the link gives an accurate description of the general populace's attitude towards politics, but his attempts to whitewash the regime and downplay the kind of rampant corruption and censorship going on in the country is just intolerable.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_4pwhat", "post_id": "4pwhat", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/4ptfqn/vladimir_putin_says_brexit_caused_by_british/d4o3i9o", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/4pwhat/umedveded_explains_putins_appeal_to_modern/", "post_created_utc": 1466920832, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d4oph11", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 122, "answer_created_utc": 1466956833}}

Fat animals are easy to kill and adapt to change slowly\n* Incidence of Diabetes historically was lower than at present, despite people eating more fat (and sat fat) in composition of their diets\n* Lipolysis is not controlled by the immune system\n* Glucose as a primary fuel source induces a reduction in cellular mitochondria (where fasting and keto increase it)\n* Interference in insulin signalling happens as result of problems with GLUT4 transport, and more so of poor insulin clearance\n* Skeletal muscle IR is not necessarily pathological\n* No differentiation between glucose sparing IR and pathological IR is made\n* It's not genetics that create Beta cell dysfunction. Beta cell dysfunction arises from essentially burning them out, via a cycle of reactive hypoglycaemia and chronic hyperinsulinaemia\n* Hyperglycaemia happens before beta-cell dysfunction, not after, as shown by increasing fasting serum glucose as TD2m develops\n* The fact that 65% of people are either diabetic or pre-diabetic disagrees with 80% not having obesity associated pathology, like diabetes.\n* As does the rapid and growing number of diabetic patients\n\nIn general, it was a nice attempt to explain the system, but it's causal elements are wrong. Over-nutrition is not the root cause of all metabolic evil, nor saturated fat. It matters what a person eats.\n\nIt was highly disappointing how little diabetes researchers understand the system. T2DM can be easily and safely treated by a low-carbohydrate diet.

{"question_title": "/u/fzammetti describes the differences between the way younger and older programmers think", "body": "A personal rule of thumb is never to trust those who wave around credentials. Those with real perspective -- or, put differently, those whose experience is a product not just of \"time served\", but of a consistent and continual reevaluation of their world and their place in it -- simply don't use their laurels in place of saying something of substance. To use the old adage, \"confidence is quiet, and insecurities loud\", and when someone is loud about \"how qualified they are\", it is a very clear signal to me that they are, in all likelihood, standing on a very insecure foundation.\n\nNow to be clear here, I have an intense distaste for broad generalizations, and this is exactly that. But, this is one generalization that has served me very well, and so when OP spends 576 of their 4619 characters talking about themself, and not the topic at hand, it sends up red flags. In the same way that this minor diatribe might be bothering you, for the exact same reasons. So I'll get to the point: in my professional opinion, OP is incorrect. Their post can be condensed to the following:\n\n> Modern programmers tend to not have the same level of understanding of the machines they work on... [I view] the problem through the entire technology stack, all the way down to the bear *(sic)* electronics... [which] provides me a holistic view of what I'm working on that few others can match. [But on] the flip side of that... people like me don't handle abstractions as well... [I struggle to] focus just on the high-level!\n\nFirst of all, this is extremely dependent upon discipline. Frankly, with the rise of PaaS and IaaS (platforms as a service and infrastructure as a service; basically, \"the cloud\"), it's entirely possible it may be **impossible** to know more than some extremely rudimentary details about your physical runtime environment. But in a different environment (for example, infosec, or deeply embedded systems), having a thorough understanding of the entire process by which an algorithm is converted to a particular arrangement of bits can be absolutely, 100% mission critical. And in these fields it doesn't matter how \"old\" or \"experienced\" you are; across the board, you are absolutely expected to have broad domain knowledge (both in depth and scope) to be considered a competent and competitive software engineer.\n\nBut more importantly, OP's assertion that their \"holistic view\" is superior, whilst they simultaneously \"struggle\" to understand high-level systems, is entirely self contradictory. Make no mistake here: high-level understanding and fluency in abstraction are absolute requirements to holistic understanding of complex systems. Full stop.\n\nTo explain why, it's important to understand why we use abstractions in the first place. Now, for those unfamiliar with the term \"abstraction\" used in this context, it's a way of carving up complex problems into small, coherent \"divisions of concern\". As a direct, physical example: when I got back from my lunch-break run today, I knew I needed to ```eat lunch``` and ```take a shower```. Now, instead of thinking of all of the minutiae involved in actually completing those tasks, I think of them as two aggregate units. I have *abstracted away* the \"process\" of getting bread and cheese, heating up the Panini maker, warming up stuffing, start doing dishes while waiting for them, plate, put food in mouth, finish dishes, turn on water, take off clothes, get in, scrub up, dry off, shave, put back on clothes, etc. I abstract this as ```eat lunch``` and ```take shower``` because, quite simply, it's too much cognitive overhead to keep all of the details in my head at once.\n\nWe use abstractions because brains can only manipulate a finite amount of information at once; even given an infinitely long work-week, you are still limited by your [working memory capacity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_memory). What OP describes as \"viewing the entire technology stack\" (but **without effective use of abstraction**) is, roughly speaking, a contextually connected form of [cognitive multitasking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_multitasking). You just don't get any other options: either you use the abstractions, and focus individually on one digestible chunk at a time, or you're having to continually change your focus (often called \"context switching\") as you go. So, given OP's admission of their inability to use abstractions appropriately, they are, cognitively speaking, forced to result to multitasking.\n\nThere's a lot of research surrounding multitasking, and some of it is contradictory or controversial. But to quote the linked wikipedia article: \"Many studies, literature, articles, and worldwide consulting firms... **[stress] that multitasking of any kind reduces the productivity and/or increases rate of errors**... It has been estimated that $650 billion a year is wasted in US businesses due to multitasking.\" (emphasis mine). As a potential employer, I want to stress in no uncertain terms that OP's difficulty with abstraction directly hurts my bottom line, and if OP's post were a job interview, I would decline to issue an offer.\n\nFurthermore, remember the fields I mentioned, like infosec or embedded (or heaven forbid, the intersection of both, which is [where I work](https://www.hypergolix.com)), where it's important to have thorough domain understanding? These fields aren't exactly forgiving of mistakes. OP would likely argue that their approach (eschew abstractions for \"focus on everything\") is more effective in these fields, but nothing could be further from the truth. Once again, multitasking in all its forms is prone to error; here it is *all the more critical* to eliminate it, and to concentrate on one divided concern at a time. And to do that requires real fluency in abstractions.\n\nI want to make one last clarification here: \"fluency in abstraction\" is much more complicated than just knowing when to lump things together as ```eat lunch``` and ```take a shower```. Every abstraction is, to some degree, \"leaky\" -- that is to say, it doesn't always work. Taking my metaphor a step further, what if my apartment were powered by solar panel, and I didn't have enough battery capacity to run both my Panani press and hot water heater within an hour of each other? In that case, the act of ```eat lunch``` has a direct consequence on ```take a shower```, and if I do both naively, without an understanding of the higher-up system (the apartment as a whole), I'm going to be showering in the cold. To understand an abstraction doesn't just mean understanding its component parts. You also have to understand its limitations; to know when things break down, and how they positively and negatively interact with other kinds of abstractions. For those who are truly fluent in abstractions, that all becomes an inherent part of the abstraction itself.\n\nThe point, at the end of the day, is that OP's difficulty with abstraction conveys a high risk of reduced productivity, error, and rework. And, in my experience, that difficulty is all that matters; there is no dichotomy between \"holistic understanding\" vs \"abstraction fluency\".

{"question_title": "/u/vacationawayfromwork makes good post on how Trump's actual economic policies would hurt the average minority and our economy as a whole.", "body": "Not that I think trumps policies are even remotely good but there are some bad ideas floating around this criticism.\n\n>[...] spend your tax cuts and put that money directly back into the economy instead of plugging it into the stock market.\n\nThis is wrong. The stock market is part of the economy. The stock market isn't some magic rich person's casino where they're betting on the success of mega corporations. \n\nInvesting in a company gives that company capital to operate. If you buy shares in a company, they have more money to purchase things, like hiring new staff, leasing a new office, whatever. Yes the stock market abstracts that in a complicated way, but it's not some magic distinct entity.\n\nThat doesn't mean that there aren't good reasons to lower wealth descrepancy, but 'the rich aren't part of the economy' isn't one of them.\n\n>There are no spending offsets to cover the revenue lost in the tax cuts - so he wants to massively increase the deficit.\n\nIt's completely possible to lower taxes and increase tax revenue. \n\nIt's kinda important to remember that tax revenue isn't this lump sum thing that is directly proportional to tax rates. Ignoring tax brackets for a second, if we taxed everyone's income at 100% then it's likely that pretty much no one would work - because they'd have to pay all their income as tax. We would receive 0 tax revenue then.\n\nSimilarly, if we taxed 0% we would still receive 0 revenue even if everyone collected income. And you can imagine that if we taxed people 95% maybe only a few people would work, but we'd get a lot of tax off of them, so we wouldn't have very much revenue. And if we taxed 5%, we would get not very much revenue, off of lots of people.\n\nSo there must be a maximum amount of revenue that we can get somewhere between 0 and 100% rates. It could be that the graph is a bell curve, or that it has multiple peaks, but there is a maximum somewhere.\n\nSo it's completely possible that our tax rate is too high in terms of maximizing our revenue. Of course, the US has a very low effective income tax rate for the upper bracket, so I'm not saying that in practice lowering the rate is a good thing, but it's important to understand the concept. It's also important to understand that the vast majority of tax revenue comes from the highest brackets, so getting that amount optimal is very important.\n\nIt could be that the effective tax rate in the US is too low, but it's really important not to think of it in terms of increasing the rate means increasing the revenue.\n\n>Trade / Deportation / Immigration\n\nI think the criticisms here are correct, but I think if it was phrased more plainly reddit wouldn't like it. Reddit lately seems to be largely anti-trade, and anti-immigration.\n\nImmigration is good for the economy. More hands working is a good thing. Deportation is not the opposite of this, but you can see how it's connected. \n\nFree trade is also really good for the economy. If your friend is better at making bread, and you're better at making egg salad, it's really good for both of you to trade egg salad for bread so you can both have more egg salad sandwiches. By trading, you're working together and you both win. Your friend isn't stealing your egg salad jobs, and you're not stealing his bread job. It's not zero sum. This is a simplistic example, but in principle, there is a lot of truth to the analogy. Of course there are other effects like personal freedoms etc. but economically free trade is really a good thing. This is why tariffs are bad.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_4y5jv2", "post_id": "4y5jv2", "post_url": "https://np.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/4y3h1o/trump_we_reject_the_bigotry_of_clinton/d6kqae8?context=1", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/4y5jv2/uvacationawayfromwork_makes_good_post_on_how/", "post_created_utc": 1471440381, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d6lhcjy", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 20, "answer_created_utc": 1471458252}}
{"question_title": "/u/woxihuan explains why using complicated language can be important or pedantic and why it's important for academics to express themselves with clarity", "body": "I think /u/woxihuan did a pretty good job at explaining the issue however I don't think s/he went far enough in explaining the necessity of specialized terminology and carrying the \"translation\" issue to its natural conclusion. \n\nA physicist can explain a concept using an analogy and I will understand the mechanics of it on a rudimentary level.  But no matter how sincere or well-conceived that analogy is, it isn't a substitute for an actual understanding of the concept.  Science routinely runs into this problem and it is one of the reasons why the \"its snowing outside, so it global warming can't be real\" mentality continues to be so prevalent.  In many cases rudimentary understanding of something isn't enough - you need to have a large body of knowledge and a greater understanding of a concept's context to avoid severely misunderstanding said concept.  Translation can only carry you so far - some languages don't have equivalents of certain phrases, some languages have nuances which can't be captured in a dictionary definition.\n\nI think /u/woxihuan is trying to kill two birds with one stone here.  In some sense they aren't just responding to the question of why academics write the way they do, they're also addressing the stigmas that surround academia in popular culture, the social sciences/humanities in particular.    While the masses will begrudgingly admit that the hard sciences involve having a specialized knowledge which simply need to be trusted in many cases, they are less willing to accept that from the social sciences.  The social sciences are seen as frivolous, elitist, politicized, and overstated in their complexity.  Woxihuan does a good job of meeting people with that perspective half way, in that they confess the actual shortcomings that most people in that field know exist.  But I think they give a bit too much room for one to say \"oh, so it is all just a facade\".  \n\nThe other day I was on thread about *Guns, Germs, and Steel*.  Its one of those texts that really exposes the academic v. layperson divide.  The book is insanely popular because it both challenges older, more racialized views of the past and because it reinterprets it in terms that are intuitively understandable and non-offensive to most audiences.  A lot of the questions most people have will be resolved by the text and at the same time it will make them think it new ways.  They enjoy that disambiguation and relish the widening of their worldview.  I can appreciate that, its that feeling which pushed me along in my career too.  But no matter how neatly it cleans things up for the average reader or how good it makes them feel, its still wrong.   I frequently get into debates with passionate defenders of the book and invariably face the conundrum of how to explain why it is wrong.\n\nOn the one hand, you can give them a technical explanation which won't challenge their belief system.  I can talk about historiography, epistemology, and the nature of objectivity in the social sciences at length but at the end of the day, that won't resonate with most people.  They will see it as obfuscation, sophistry.  Another long-winded and flowery diatribe by an academic who in their mind is properly just jealous of Jared Diamond and who can't provide a straightforward explanation like he does.  Metathinking as /u/woxihuan describes it is a frivolous activity that \"real hard working people\" don't have time for.  \n\nOn the other hand, I can give them a straightforward explanation that will challenge their belief system.  Such explanations are immediately politicized in their minds and proof of the other half of the academic caricature: that all academics are commie-pinko-Western-haters.  People don't want to hear historical facts like \"yes, race as we understand it today is an invention of the West\".  It really doesn't matter to most people that we as academics can textually trace race's origins, demonstrate its evolution from specific historic and colonial circumstances.  That is a foreign process, distant from their real world experience and thus highly suspect.  Many of the basic and fundamental concepts of the social sciences, like cultural relativism or the inaccuracy of Grand Narratives, remain highly politicalized in the popular sphere and thus can't be presented to audiences without someone concluding that a political agenda is at work. \"Reality has a liberal bias\", \"Cultural Marxism is destroying our education system\", that kind of bullshit.  \n\nThe overarching point here is that in the case of technical explanations, some things can't be \"translated\" into something meaningful and sensible to every audience. On the flip side, its not that most people can't be taught how to \"understand the foreign language\" of the social sciences, its that they don't trust the speaker of that tongue.   I just read another thread about [the Scientific American publicly criticizing Donald Trump](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/4y58fn/donald_trumps_lack_of_respect_for_science_is/).  In the comments there is a lot of talk about buzzwords and America's anti-intellectualism.  There is a good Asimov quote in there that really applies to this discussion:\n\n*\"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.\"*\n\nWhen an issue is viewed as political, all responses to it are essentially viewed as opinions.  This in turn means that when we social scientists discuss things which the masses view as political, the idea that \"we have specialized knowledge/training that makes our positions' more valid\" is thrown out the window because according to the logic of the American discourse, such ideas are wrong.  The sheer suggestion that we are experts fundamentally makes us \"anti-democratic elitists\".  I don't think analogy or simple language can get us across that hurdle.  No matter how you spin it, you're going to be seen as one of those dicks who think they are better than everyone.  I've written posts where I have been vehemently put into that category, I have written posts where I am praised for not being in that category.  My style never changes, the subjects of my posts do.  \n\nOkay, one final point and then I'll put my soapbox away.  I agree that more work needs to be done to engage the public and I applaud those who try.  But at some point, we need to be met halfway.  There comes a point in every social scientist's career where they become exhausted by the constant stream of people berating their profession as pointless and insinuating they are terrible people.  You can't really blame them for retreating into an environment where they won't be treated like horrible human beings.  Average Americans from across the political spectrum feel like the system is broken, that the media is stupid and that their politicians don't know what they're doing.  They despise one another, viewing them as uneducated and devoid of critical thinking skills.  At the risk of being called an out of touch, ivory tower intellectual, I would like to meekly suggest that my field does have a value even if it doesn't produce iPods or skyscrapers.  \n\nA person who is formally trained in the social sciences is better equipped to deal with social issues.... like international relations, economics, politics, and issues of identity.  If people stopped devaluing these fields, maybe people would be more inclined to study them.  Maybe the next generation of voters would be more informed.  Maybe the experts in these fields, who do exist, might have some influence in our political discourse and in turn could keep us from preventing the same mistakes.  If the only voices who are going to be valued are businessmen, lawyers, and sort of but not really hard scientists then you can't really be surprised that the conversation is sorely lacking an understanding of topics which fall under the social sciences.  Its not about \"we're academics, we're smart and everyone else is stupid\".  Its about who knows what.  I am not going to tell a doctor how to do their job, because they are more knowledgeable in the field of medicine.  That doesn't mean I am stupid, that doesn't mean they're arrogant.  I am not going to pretend that my degrees in History and Anthropology mean I know dick about running a business.  By the same token, I am not sure why I need to self-flagellate or explain that I know more about those fields than someone who thinks they are both a waste of time and never bothered to take a course in either them.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_4y5u65", "post_id": "4y5u65", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/4y4tx6/cmv_philosophy_is_plagued_with_linguistic/d6l3x9l", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/4y5u65/uwoxihuan_explains_why_using_complicated_language/", "post_created_utc": 1471443680, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d6lpou9", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 56, "answer_created_utc": 1471467964}}

But it's not 1982. And the U.S has evolved well beyond the petrodollar. Another commenter somewhere in that mess nailed it, they said: \"Take oil out of the equation, and countries would *still* peg their currency to the U.S dollar.\" To add my own wit: Not only would they still do it, they would do it now with less hesitation than 70 years ago. Why? Because the U.S dollar now has 70+ years of fortitude (proof/history) behind it -- proof positive that it's currency can weather even the strongest storms. And its military is stronger than it has ever been (and by default, the U.S is stronger than it has ever been). It doesn't need oil backing up its dollar, it has a $14 trillion dollar GDP and the world's strongest military with almost no-one capable of challenging it. \n\nHe goes on to say that there would be a treasury dump by the Saudi's and that would threaten the U.S?

{"question_title": "/u/LuckyBallAndChain lays out all the evidence supporting the idea that the West Memphis Three really are guilty", "body": "I've come to think that the general public's fascination with murder cases stems from a profound desire to achieve personal, moral certainty about *something*. Anything. The world as it is is cold and gray, dark and unknown. Murder cases reduce the complexity of the moral problem, i.e., the question of what do we mean when we say justice or truth? When a spectator decides that Echols is innocent or guilty, a martyr or a murderer, it is merely the expression of a grander logic that says there is a truth out in the world to be deduced.\n\n\nBut whenever I follow these stories-- and, let's not kid ourselves: such activity is always recreational, just as following sports or going to church can be --the deeper I delve, the less certain I become. More and more, I'm resolved that the only truth is that there is none. We will never know for certain who killed the boys in West Memphis or the Ramsey girl or Hai Lee Min. To express that there is a truth but it is unknow is just to sketch the letter X in an incomplete equation. We would like to believe our world corresponds to law and reason and rationality, and so we wade through the muck of these homicides looking for fact, praying that insight and grit will carry us to a fated truth. But they don't; we doubt. We doubt ourselves and the data and the evidence and the witnesses and, more and more commonly today it seems, the entire system of law itself. A \"systematically opressive\" institution, a con, a bad joke. The drama of John Anderton in *Minority Report*, the cop stopping future homicides whose own methods predict he himself will soon commit a homicide, is the perfect inversion of this dilemma: equally well do we know Anderton's future guilt as we do Adnan Syed's or Damien Echol's past guilt-- which is to say, we don't. \n\n\nIn the last episode of *Serial*'s first season, host Sarah Koenig admits:\n\n>If you ask me to swear that Adnan Syed is innocent, I couldn’t do it. I nurse doubt. I don’t like that I do, but I do. I mean most of the time I think he didn’t do it. For big reasons, like the utter lack of evidence but also small reasons, things he said to me just off the cuff or moments when he’s cried on the phone and tried to stifle it so I wouldn’t hear. Just the bare fact of why on earth would a guilty man agree to let me do this story, unless he was cocky to the point of delusion. I used to think that when Adnan’s friends told me “I can’t say for sure if he’s innocent, but the guy I knew, there’s no way he could have done this.” I used to think that was a cop out, a way to avoid asking yourself uncomfortable, disloyal, disheartening questions. But I think I’m there now too. Not for lack of asking myself those hard questions, but because **as much as I want to be sure, I am not.**\n\n\nThese spectacles resolve like a Seurat. From the brink, everything is clear and the picture makes sense. But in the fall, the closer we come to the image itself, the floor in the valley of meaning, the more we begin to realize the artifice and contrivance in the narrative an image wishes to convey. Like a magician's trick, like pornography, the effect is only achieved when what is hidden becomes more significant than what is seen. You either are a \"believer\" or a \"non,\" and then every word that follows is ushered through a predetermined script. It is a jigsaw with twice the necessary pieces, or maybe half. And because these instances, these cases, these ambiguities are reflective and symptomatic of reality as a whole, we cling to them, hoping that if we can grasp just the instance, then it means we have a chance at conquering the mirage we're seeped in daily. I don't know if we do or can.\n\n\nLike Adnan says, \"I don’t think you’ll ever have one hundred percent or any type of certainty about it. The only person in the whole world who can have that is me. [Or] for what it’s worth, whoever did it. You know you’ll never have that, I don’t think you will.\"", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_5033se", "post_id": "5033se", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/4mw5nl/what_case_has_kept_you_up_at_nightdoesnt_sit_well/d41kjxq", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/5033se/uluckyballandchain_lays_out_all_the_evidence/", "post_created_utc": 1472442035, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d71dww3", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 35, "answer_created_utc": 1472489063}}

{"question_title": "/u/thisnakedlunch on the brilliant mind of Vincent Van Gogh", "body": "The first time I saw a Van Gogh I was 5. I remember seeing exactly what he's talking about: that amazing command of color, an unrivaled ability to experience the beauty of nature, and that day, I could see it. I could see the subtle colors in the wall, and the blues and purples and reds of the sky, and the way light reflected off of flowers. My father told me I was mesmerized. \n\nYet, even a year later, when we traveled abroad to another museum, and I saw many more Van Goghs, I could not reproduce the effect. Indeed, throughout my adolescence, though I visited the museums of Europe and the US, and even the museum devoted to Van Gogh in Amsterdam, I found myself less and less able to tap into that view of nature that makes him so unique. \n\nUntil, however, the latter half of my first year at university. I managed to procure some real, strong LSD, and one afternoon, in the dark of my girlfriend's blacked-out room, my girlfriend and I each placed a tab under our tongues. The change that followed one hour later grew from a subtle appreciation of the texture of the wall to full-blown pseduo-hallucinations and euphoria, persisting for hours. It was magical, though the real magic did not begin till later, as we began to come down and decided, perhaps unwisely, to step outside and enjoy the night air. \n\nIt was an unbelievable experience. Every stone, every tree's bark, every light, and, most beautifully, the night sky, all came alive like I had never seen before. Everything felt so real and connected. I could see the various colors in what was once just brown bark, appreciate its unique, changing textures, feel with my hands the life in this tree, its benevolence and role, alive longer than I had been.  The stones I walked upon gleamed with beautiful, starry, spritely streetlight, reflected up onto me, to my clothes, the trees, the poles, light and shadow more clearly than ever before. And as walls and grass began to swirl ever so slightly, my girlfriend directed me towards the sky, and I stopped in my tracks. \n\nEven through the extensive light pollution ravaging the Chicago sky, I could finally see it again, the ecstasy of the sky that Van Gogh showed me those 13 years prior. \"Holy shit\" doesn't even begin to cover it. I could see so many colors in what was previously a subtle burnt orange light reflected against a deep black background. Now, it teemed with yellows and reds and blues and violets of many shades, each intertwining and interacting in ways I never noticed before. \n\nEver since then, I've found that I can tap into that capacity, concentrate and see more beauty in the world. I wonder if that's how Van Gogh always saw the world. Considering his probable schizophrenia, it's entirely possible his sensory filters were less powerful than a neurotypical person's, leading to that experience that I could only achieve on a drug that lowered my own sensory filters.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_51eyv8", "post_id": "51eyv8", "post_url": "http://np.reddit.com/r/television/comments/51cfkz/van_goghs_scene_on_doctor_who_is_the_most/d7b4p3n", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/51eyv8/uthisnakedlunch_on_the_brilliant_mind_of_vincent/", "post_created_utc": 1473165258, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d7bqf2o", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 8, "answer_created_utc": 1473184800}}

{"question_title": "/u/CmdrSquirrel explains the origins of werewolf-slaying silver bullets and what Mythbusters got wrong", "body": "I'd say that they're drastically underestimating and misunderstanding the folklore history of specie as ward against mystical threats, and assigning far more weight to this one incident than it merits.\n\nAround the world, all cultures have folklore of mystical dangers, and they usually share fundamental structural aspects for fairly obvious reasons. Most magical beasties are creatures of the night, simply because real threats to people (from predators to exposure to the elements to simply getting lost) are magnified at night, and the stories were backfilled to match that. They often involve dead people, because dead people and their remains are scary/distasteful for obvious evolutionary reasons. And they often involve combining predatory animals and humans, simply because those two things were already two of the most perceptible threats to people.\n\nAnd one other big thing that they tend to have in common is that the things with magical efficacy against them are difficult or expensive to obtain. Originally it was sacrifice of valuable livestock or people, and then iron. It usually evolved into silver, gold, gems, or other objects of pure value without function.\n\nThis itself is rooted in at least three things: if the protections were common things, their effectiveness would be constantly disproven; the human tendency to turn backward the logic that since difficult things are sometimes worthwhile, worthwhile things must be difficult; and the desire of a lot of charlatans to coincidentally require valuable (and portable) materials with which to work their magics.\n\nWhile gold and gems also feature in this, silver is probably the most common throughout most of history because it was just barely at the edge of accessibility for peasants. If giant rubies drive away the demons, there's not much you could do about that, but the family could sometimes scrape together the funds for silver nails for the windowsills.\n\nAnd going back before all this to why silver and gold were considered valuable in the first place, I'd say that the commenter glosses over quite a lot. Yes, their notable traits are of not oxidizing, which makes them, at the least, noteworthy. But back at the point at which these became specie, the \"divine\" and \"valuable\" were not really discrete concepts, or indeed clearly formed at all.\n\nThere is an ocean of scholarship on humans' first development of the concept of \"value\" as an abstract thing, divorced from direct utility. One commonly cited interesting early example of this are the [Rai stones of Micronesia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones), objects of currency so immovable that one never actually physically took possession of them, it was simply agreed upon that ownership of them changed hands.\n\nTeal deer: suggesting that the origin of silver as weapon against mystical threats comes solely from one incident in 18th-centry France disregards a vastly longer and broader history of the belief.\n\nTo the ballistic properties of Ag, I can't speak.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_52a9z0", "post_id": "52a9z0", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/guns/comments/5272iw/cmdrsquirrel_opines_about_silver_bullets/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/52a9z0/ucmdrsquirrel_explains_the_origins_of/", "post_created_utc": 1473623048, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d7j1wfy", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 38, "answer_created_utc": 1473646556}}

They cost \"a few dollars\" per hour, and you don't even have to go to the darknet to find them.\n\n- All a host really needs to be part of a DDoS attack is a network stack.

{"question_title": "/u/servetusm explains why \"brainwashing\" is an inadequate and simplistic descriptor of the reason many Saudi women don't want true equality in their society", "body": "Ehhh. The evidence that the women are happy is that they say they're happy, but adaptive preference formation is a real thing. It's best illustrated by the fable of the fox and the grapes. One day a fox wanted to eat some tasty grapes, but they were too high on the tree and he couldn't get them. \"They're probably sour anyways - I don't want them,\" he told himself as he walked off.\n\nThe idea is that the fox is deceiving himself: if he were to take an honest look at things, he'd realize he *does* want the grapes. If you ask him whether he wants the grapes, he'll say \"no, they're probably sour,\" but that's just an explanation he came up with to tell himself he's happy with the outcome that he can't control. If he *could* control the outcome, he'd immediately get the grapes and be much happier. So although you'll hear him say \"I'm happy to leave the grapes be\" when you take a poll, in reality he'd be much happier if he could make it to the grapes.\n\nSimilar things happen, we might think, for women who are oppressed. They tell themselves they're happy staying at home, doing what men tell them, not having opportunities, and so on, so when you ask them if they'd prefer to have more freedom, they'll say no, but that's only because their entire life, their preferences have been shaped by the limited opportunities available to them. If we look at people who actually have lots of opportunities, like women in other countries, they often take advantage of these opportunities. It seems odd that they would do this if it just leaves them less happy, but then why do they report lower levels of happiness? The answer is that they don't have to deceive themselves and convince themselves they're happy with their limited lot. They can be exactly as happy as men are, and if you think that men would be happier if they were forced into a subordinated position, just give it a try on the men. Because the men haven't grown up with no freedom, they don't have warped preferences, and they don't tell themselves they'd be happier stuck at home with no rights, so when you try to take their rights away, they go batshit, just like the women would go batshit if they realized they're just lying to themselves.\n\nI don't want to claim that this is what's going on in Saudi Arabia - I have no particular expertise with respect to that situation. But I'm not sure /u/servetusm is any better - certainly just linking things like a poll that says people are happy hardly constitutes any sort of evidence one way or another.\n\nNow, maybe \"brainwashing\" is more radical than \"adaptive preference formation,\" and /u/servetusm would agree with me that the women are happy because they're lying to themselves but that this doesn't constitute brainwashing. If that's the case, that's fine. I just think there's more nuance here than \"oh well these systems serve a purpose and women have good reasons for wanting them to stick around.\" Women often *think* they have good reasons for wanting their oppression to continue, just like the fox *thinks* he has a good reason for leaving the grapes alone, but in reality this can turn out to just be a case of adaptive preference formation.\n\nAnyone interested in this topic should check out Jan Elster's book *Sour Grapes*.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_54nny9", "post_id": "54nny9", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/54khw0/saudi_women_file_petition_to_end_male/d82ygzg", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/54nny9/uservetusm_explains_why_brainwashing_is_an/", "post_created_utc": 1474933118, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d83hcpx", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 203, "answer_created_utc": 1474939370}}

{"question_title": "/u/sylban explains the strangeness of the 'Sovereign Citizen Movement(s)'", "body": "This is a classic example of what I like to call  'book report' authority on Reddit. Just because one has sources doesn't make it a quality post or right.\n\nThe author wrote many paragraphs appealing essentially to his or her own opinion. Specifically this author thinks the people whom are the subject matter are idiots, and states this repeatedly. But never anywhere in the text is explained *why*. We are simply to accept it prima facie.\n\nUsually this approach is written to appeal to people who already have an opinion on the subject, and it targets people who agree with the author. In that sense the citations are window dressing used to reinforce the point by lending it credibility--because on the internet citations = credibility whether they are accurate or not.\n\nJust so it's clear, I'm not saying the author has reached a wrong conclusion, merely that he or she has done absolutely nothing to defend why he or she holds that opinion. He/she also passed off examples of acts as support, rather than justifications (or lack of them) for acts--which sidesteps the need to defend an argument's integrity. \n\nSeemingly these 'sov citizen' types have some ideological justification even at a root level for their conclusions, and it would have been nice to hear them and why they are bullshit.\n\nFor example, one of the key issues I know of with regard to these types is consent. They believe that the govt's authority is based on the consent of the governed--but that the govt imposes its laws and authority on them whether or not they consent to it.\n\nIn grade school they taught a very problematic doctrine called 'implied consent'--that is by choosing to stick around in the country one consents to govt authority.\n\nHowever such a view effectively inverts the order of causality: rights give rise to govt, not govt gives rise to rights. In other words, the idea is that you only have rights if the govt agrees to respect them, and otherwise will use force (coercion) if it chooses not to. That's where sov citizens object to the current order of things.\n\nTo that end, it's an old debate between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists, and central govt versus states rights advocates, which has lingered. Secession is another example actually of that--it's hard to have consent if it's not possible to secede. \n\nIronically most states (countries) in this era are based on self-determination and declarations of rights to voluntary association, but also deny that right to others if they seek to leave. \n\nSo, because the author posted a book report answer rather than an argument, we can't have a real discussion on what is driving the ideology. It thus shouldn't be in depthhub.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_57xg1u", "post_id": "57xg1u", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/DebunkThis/comments/57v22d/debunk_this_the_united_states_is_a_corporation/d8vloa0", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/57xg1u/usylban_explains_the_strangeness_of_the_sovereign/", "post_created_utc": 1476712724, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "d8vqszn", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 13, "answer_created_utc": 1476715139}}

Also Senate holds have been used constantly, since all it really requires is threatening to object to unanimous consent requests that speed up the passage of a bill. This slows the Senate floor process down to a crawl, and forces the Majority Leader to either work with a Senator on their concerns with the bill, or waste valuable time on consideration.\n\nAlso I think it's important to point out that, while the GOP does not have 60 votes for the 115th Congress, they can very easily change the rules of the Senate to eliminate the filibuster. The Democrats did this in the 113th Congress to eliminate the 3/5th cloture requirements for consideration of all appointees except Supreme Court. Even if they don't do that, the GOP could very easily gain 60 seats in the next election.

It's certainly possible for all of that evidence to have been manufactured, but there are only a handful of organizations, all of them governments, that would be capable of doing such a thorough job of framing the Russians. In fact, it would likely have required a collaborative effort, say, with France and the United States, or either of those countries and Germany.

You also can't claim that intelligence is an example of a sexually dimorphic trait, acknowledge that it is pretty similar between sexes and then wave you hands to make that make sense. If the two sexes are close in a trait, it is not all that dimorphic and hardly an example of runaway sexual selection. \n\nTake the size of elephants as an example. Would you look at the fact that male elephants are slightly larger and think \"the reason male elephants are so large is because females found it sexy and the reason female elephants are nearly as large is because they needed to still be able to have sex with the males,\" or would you think \"some selective pressure on the species as a whole lead elephants to get much larger?\"\n\nIf anything, art and creativity are a genetic spandrel, not a runaway.

His role though is in his absolute refusal of food aid, be it from within India (other provinces were exporting food) or Australia and his insistence that the Med theatre get all these grains as a strategic stockpile.\n\n[This is not true in the slightest](https://winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/did-churchill-cause-the-bengal-famine/). Churchill appealed to both Australia and the U.S. for food aid. Canada and Australia's offers of aid were gratefully received, but Churchill worried that Canadian shipments would take over two months to arrive and would constitute an unacceptable diversion of shipping from the war effort. Churchill even appealed to America for aid even after statistics began to show that the famine had turned a corner. When aid was scaled back it was because the Imperial government in London had access to the consumption statistics which in 1944 indicated that there was more than enough grain in India. The fault lies with the colonial government and those parts of India that had a degree of self-governance in not properly pursuing hoarders and price speculators.\n\n>the starvation of anyhow underfed Bengalis is less serious than that of sturdy Greeks.\n\nHe also said to Archibald Wavell, the new Viceroy of India:\n\n>Peace, order and a high condition of war-time well-being among the masses of the people constitute the essential foundation of the forward thrust against the enemy….The hard pressures of world-war have for the first time for many years brought conditions of scarcity, verging in some localities into actual famine, upon India. Every effort must be made, even by the diversion of shipping urgently needed for war purposes, to deal with local shortages….Every effort should be made by you to assuage the strife between the Hindus and Moslems and to induce them to work together for the common good.\n\nAnd in April 1944 he wrote to Roosevelt:\n\n>I am seriously concerned about the food situation in India….Last year we had a grievous famine in Bengal through which at least 700,000 people died. This year there is a good crop of rice, but we are faced with an acute shortage of wheat, aggravated by unprecedented storms….By cutting down military shipments and other means, I have been able to arrange for 350,000 tons of wheat to be shipped to India from Australia during the first nine months of 1944. This is the shortest haul. I cannot see how to do more.\n>\n>I have had much hesitation in asking you to add to the great assistance you are giving us with shipping but a satisfactory situation in India is of such vital importance to the success of our joint plans against the Japanese that I am impelled to ask you to consider a special allocation of ships to carry wheat to India from Australia….We have the wheat (in Australia) but we lack the ships.

For example, one of the most famous is *'Adam* (man) being created out of *'adamah* (the earth).  (Genesis 2:7). \n\nSecond, Robert Alter, in his (poetic and literary) translation and commentary on Genesis, notes that while in Genesis 1:1-2:4a (the whole \"Let their be light\" section), God is described as a creator making something out of nothing, in this section God is portrayed as a craftsman. There is a lot going on literarily in this passage:\n\n>As many modern commentators have noted, the first Creation account concludes with the summarizing phrase in the first half of this verse: “This is the tale [literally, these are the begettings] of the heavens and the earth when they were created,\" these two paired terms, \"heavens\" and \"earth,\" taking us back in an envelope structure to the paired terms of the very first verse of the Creation story. Now, after the grand choreography of resonant parallel utterances of the cosmogony, the style changes sharply. Instead of the symmetry of parataxis, hypotaxis is initially prominent [parataxis is a rhetorical and syntactic arrangement in which clauses are strung together in series, without subordination: We ran, we sang, and we told jokes; hypotaxis is the syntactic subordination of one clause to another: As we ran, we sang and told jokes]: the second account begins with elaborate syntactical subordination in a long complex sentence that uncoils all the way from the second part of verse 4 to the end of verse 7. In this more vividly anthropomorphic account, God, now called YHWH 'Elohim instead of 'Elohim, as in the first version, does not summon things into being from a lofty distance through the mere agency of divine speech, but works as a craftsman, fashioning (*yatsar* instead of *bara'*, \"create\"), blowing life-breath into nostrils, **building a woman from a rib**. Whatever the disparate historical origins of the two accounts, the redaction gives us first a harmonious cosmic overview of creation and then a plunge into the technological nitty-gritty and moral ambiguities of human origins.\n\nJust one note, when Alter says, \"Whatever the disparate historical origins of the two accounts\", this is a pretty clear reference to the Documentary Hypothesis, which argues that the first creation story of Genesis 1:1-2.4a and the that begins in 2.4b are by different authors. But the point is the rib in this section isn't just an out of place remnant of another story, but fits very well into the themes (God as craftsman) emphasized in this section. Alter also specifically goes into the ribs:\n\n>v. 22 **built**. Though this may seem an odd term for the creation of woman, it complements the potter's term, \"fashion,\" used for the creation of first human, and is more appropriate because the Lord is now working with hard material, not soft clay. As Nahum Sarna has observed, the Hebrew for \"rib,\" *tsela`*, is also used elsewhere to designate an architectural element.\n\nEverett Fox, in his (very literal) translation and commentary, on the other hand suggests:\n\n>v. 21 **ribs**: Or possibly \"sides,\" paralleling other ancient peoples' concept of an original being that was androgynous.\n\nFor example, this was the belief of mentioned in one of Plato's symposia. We'll talk more on that below, but in offering \"side\" as a translation, he's building on a longer tradition, as the word elsewhere in the Bible only means \"side\", particularly of a building. The traditional commentary of Solomon ben Isaac notes:\n\n>v. 22 **’The rib’** — ...the meaning is that of side [rather than the anatomical definition of rib], as in ‘the second side of the Tabernacle (Exodus 26)....He divided him [the adam] into two, for he was male on one side and female on the other.\n\nAnd the 19th century Jewish commentary Samson Raphael Hirsch notes:\n\n>V. 21. ...*Tsela* does not occur elsewhere in Tanakh as a \"rib\", but always as a \"side,\" which is also why *tsalu’a* means to be inclined towards one side, to limp.\n\nGoing back to creation and androgyny, Nahum Sarna (the guy that Robert Alter mentions), in his modern commentary for the JPS Study Bible (Jewish Publication Society, i.e. Conservative Judaism's publication house), says:\n\n>**one of his ribs** The mystery of the intimacy between husband and wife and the indispensable role that the woman ideally plays in the life of man are symbolically described in terms of her creation out of his body. The rib taken from man’s side thus connotes physical union and signifies that she is his companion and partner, ever at his side.\n\n>This correspondence between the part of the body and the role of the one identified with it is found in both Mesopotamian and Greek literatures. In the former, Ea, the god of wisdom, is described as “the ear of [the god] Ninurta” because the ear was regarded as the seat of intelligence. In Greek mythology, Athena, goddess of wisdom, sprang from the forehead of Zeus, the seat of the brain; and Aphrodite, goddess of love, generation, and fertility, is said to have sprung from the foam in the sea that collected about the severed male organ of the god Uranus.\n\nAll in all, I think it's probably safer to say this was a common trope in the Ancient World, and not draw as direct line between two geographically distant examples of this trope. It fits into a pattern of Near Eastern creation stories (here I agree with /u/w_v), but there are a lot of other things going on this passage, and the mention of a rib, to me at least, isn't an actually out of place \"head scratcher\" (here I disagree).\n\n(I knew a few of these off hand, but this [collection of commentaries](http://www.shammai.org/genesis_2_commentaries.pdf) was useful in gathering up many commentaries on this part of the Torah in one place).", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_8d0bnc", "post_id": "8d0bnc", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicBiblical/comments/8ct4jo/did_the_authors_of_genesis_intend_adam_and_eve_to/dxhwnr0/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/8d0bnc/uw_v_discusses_genesis_as_allegorical_pretty_deep/", "post_created_utc": 1524001270, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "dxk7asq", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 56, "answer_created_utc": 1524047795}}

{"question_title": "/u/Hypothesis_Null explains how inconsequential of a problem nuclear waste is", "body": "This only mentions what to do with plutonium sitting in dry cask barrels, suggesting we “burn it up”. The author suggests \n\n>This 'waste' is not green liquid sludge waiting to leak out, but solid ceramic and metal that is moderately radioactive, and will be more or less inert (apart from the Plutonium) in about 300 years. Those dry casks are designed to last for 100 years (~70 in salty-air, after which the spent fuel is just put in a new cask) and survive any feasible transportation accident should it need to be moved.\n\n>The Plutonium, and other transuranics, which constitutes about 2% of the mass in that spent fuel, will indeed last for 10,000 or 100,000 years, depending on your standards of safety. Much ado is made about 'having no place to safely store it for 10,000 years.'\n\nHowever, I was under the impression that plutonium wasn’t really what people worry about when they worry about long term storage of nuclear waste. Technetium-99 and Iodine-129, they’re the worrisome ones. They also kind of make clear how silly and arbitrary the “10,000 year” from is. Those two have half lives of 220,000 years and nearly 16 million years respectively. I don’t think this is esoteric knowledge, even Wikipedia’s webpage for Iodine-129 says:\n\n>Because ^129 I is long-lived and relatively mobile in the environment, it is of particular importance in long-term management of spent nuclear fuel. In a deep geological repository for unreprocessed used fuel, ^129 I is likely to be the radionuclide of most potential impact at long times.\n\nNo one at the Department of Energy that I’m aware of thinks that nuclear waste is a “small non-problem”. They’ve produced several very interesting reports over the last several decades (starting at least with the one by the wonderfully named “Human Interference Task Force” of 1981) about what to do with nuclear waste, with some interesting ideas. Many think it is a manageable problem worth the downsides, but certainly not a “non-problem”. \n\nThe difficult thing about burying it is not, of course, just the burying it, but how to bury it and prevent future humans from meddling with the burial. More in-depth discussion of that issue [here](https://jaredconradbradshaw.wordpress.com/2012/07/10/nuclear-waste-and-symbols/). \n\n>To design a marker system that, left alone, will survive for 10,000 years is not a difficult engineering task.  It is quite another matter to design a marker system that will for the next 400 generations resist attempts by individuals, organized groups, and societies to destroy or remove the markers. While this report discusses some strategies to discourage vandalism and recycling of materials, we cannot anticipate what people, groups, societies may do with the markers many millenia from now.\n\nFurthermore, as this [*New Yorker* article details](https://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/pilgrims-progress-inside-the-american-nuclear-waste-crisis), it’s hard to even get nuclear waste into dry cask storage (a lot of nuclear waste is in pools) because people don’t want it—they want it shipped off to a permanent deep geological repository, something that was supposed to start happening way back in 1998. I said that’s what people want, except not necessarily people in New Mexico and Nevada, where Americans have actually considered actually building these permanent deep geological respositories (Yucca Mountain and WIPP). I believe the Yucca Mountain site, first designated way back in 1987, hasn’t moved much closer in decades. \n\nI am not a nuclear physicist, but my impression here is that this response hand-waves over all the hard bits that people have actually been arguing about for the last several decades.\n\n*Edit*: This was not meant to be an assessment of nuclear power generally. I should have made this clearer but my comment was about the original post and whether or not I thought it was good for /r/depthhub. It’s one of the reasons I put my reply in this thread rather than that thread. Because it declared nuclear waste “a generally small non-problem“ but didn’t deal with what I have seen smart people, including people at the Deparmtent of Energy, actually concerned about (things like long term storage), I felt like it wasn’t good for depthhub and I downvoted it because of that.

{"question_title": "u/IdrinkandIknwothings contrasts english-speaking secularism with francophone laïcite, using their respective histories to explain Canadian values towards religion.", "body": "Translation: (rough translation, neither English nor French is my first language)\n\n​\n\n**\"**[Laïcité](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secularism_in_France)**\" is a very Francophone feature.**\n\n​\n\nDuring the French Revolution, the First Republic had to make religion itself almost illegal. As religion supported the monarchy and the monarchy supported religion, the revolutionaries ended [ecclesiastical privileges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesiastical_privileges) and replaced it with freedom of conscience, equality and human rights.\n\n​\n\nEven though religion came back to France eventually, damage was already done, some people in the 19th and 20th century openly identified themselves as atheist, which was a surprising phenomenon at that time.\n\n​\n\nFrench colonies were also influenced by France's attitude in regards to religion.\n\n​\n\nIn Quebec, the clergy were afraid of the French secular \"laïcité\" culture taking root there... It kept the priests and bishops up at night... the [Quiet Revolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiet_Revolution) still got the job done but without guillotine or blood, hence the name \"Quiet\".\n\n​\n\n**The pathological relation between Anglophones and religion**\n\n​\n\nFirst, Anglicism in the United Kingdom is a part of government, in terms of the [26 clergymen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_Spiritual) serving the the House of Lords.\n\n​\n\nSecond, the notion of freedom of religion is a bit different in the English-speaking world. Although in Quebec and France, it is often interpreted more as \"the right to not subject to religious obligations of others\" in order to be free to believe in whatever you want, the English-speaking world understands it as the \"right to practice one's religion everywhere\".\n\n​\n\nIt is important to say again that in Quebec we think no one can impose their own religion on us, but in English-speaking Canada, they think no one can stop you from practicing your religion. The difference is that one emphasizes the right of an individual to not be influenced or oppressed by others, but the other emphasizes the individual's right to express their religious beliefs.\n\n​\n\nThe role of religion in public space in the English-speaking world is that of a \"religious war\". Guy Fawkes (the mask of \"V\" for Vendetta) was a Catholic revolutionary who tried to blow up the Protestant King and the Parliament in 1605 in order to restore a Catholic king. In Northern Ireland, it was the Catholic republicans fighting with the Protestant unionists.\n\n​\n\nThe reason behind this difference is that the English culture is dominant, and more often than not, it is the one that influences other cultures. In France during the Revolution, they had to defend themselves against the rest of Catholic monarchist Europe, who had already tried to wage a war to restore the King of France. In Quebec, the danger lies in being assimilated into the Anglophone culture, which can be seen as another kind of \"cold war\", less obvious but just as dangerous.\n\n​\n\nIt is why English speakers generally reflexively say \"why does it upset you so much that others practice their religion in public?\" but French speakers would say \"why are you trying to force your religion on others?\"\n\n​\n\nBecause Anglicism is an integral part of British culture, Anglo-Canadians associate religion as being a normal part of daily life.\n\n​\n\nTherefore, English-speaking Canadians think that based on their own experience, it is intolerant and xenophobic to reject religion, even if you reject all religions. They imagine it as a combat between fierce Catholics and other religions.\n\n​\n\nIt is why they always think of Quebecois as staunch Catholics fighting a \"religious war\" against other religions... The concept of secularism in British culture doesn't not go as far as \"laïcité\". English speakers have difficulties understanding the difference between the two concepts because \"laïcité\" is never a part of their history.\n\nEDIT: grammar", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_gi4uem", "post_id": "gi4uem", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/Quebec/comments/ghy1o2/rant_cest_moi_ou_rcanada_est_anti_s%C3%A9culaire/fqblv7y/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/gi4uem/uidrinkandiknwothings_contrasts_englishspeaking/", "post_created_utc": 1589261234, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "fqdaoox", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 77, "answer_created_utc": 1589285042}}

{"question_title": "u/polabud and others discuss the serious methodological errors in a viral pre-print research article showing low infection fatality rates for COVID-19", "body": "Maybe it would help simulate discussion if I added some background and a TL;DR.\n\nBackground: [Dr. John Ioannidis](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ioannidis) (link to Wikipedia) is a Stanford researcher primarily known for his contributions to metascience - the science of studying science - especially as it relates to bias in medical research.\n\nIn mid-March, he authored a widely-read article in Stat titled [A fiasco in the making? As the coronavirus pandemic takes hold, we are making decisions without reliable data](https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/a-fiasco-in-the-making-as-the-coronavirus-pandemic-takes-hold-we-are-making-decisions-without-reliable-data/), in which he argues that we were overreacting to COVID-19 because of unreliable data, and that the virus and disease were probably much less serious than was widely believed at the time.\n\nHe then went on to co-author [a study on the prevalence of antibodies, which would indicate exposure to the virus, in Santa Clara County, California](https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.14.20062463v2). The study seemed to show that there were 85 times more infections in the country at the time of the study than what was officially reported. The study was quickly picked up by popular media and used to argue that we should hold back on heavily disruptive efforts to control the pandemic. However, the study was widely criticized, see [here](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/23/coronavirus-antibody-studies-california-stanford) for a general public-oriented breakdown on the criticism and [here](https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/04/19/fatal-flaws-in-stanford-study-of-coronavirus-prevalence/) for a technical statistical breakdown of flaws in the study.\n\n\nSince the publication of the Santa Clara study, several other studies attempting to ascertain the true infection rate, and indirectly the infection fatality rate, have been published. The most methodologically sound of these was a large Spanish study, which found about 5% prevalence in one of the hardest-hit countries in Europe, which would indicate an infection fatality rate of just over 1%. I posted [a thread with discussion of this study two days ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/DepthHub/comments/gm7gpy/uggumdol_discusses_how_the_results_of_a_large/) here on r/DepthHub. Many other countries are doing similar studies, and yet other studies carried out by academics focus on specific areas and populations.\n\nIn the paper that is discussed in the linked thread, Dr. Ioannidis attempts to use these studies to estimate the infection fatality rate of COVID-19. The problem, as is discussed in the linked thread, is that the way Dr. Ioannidis does this is problematic, bordering on scientific misconduct. In relation to some of the studies, he mischaracterizes what the data shows. In relation to other studies, he apparently misquotes numbers entirely. He also excludes available studies with good methodology that counter his conclusion.\n\nThe paper will probably never be published in a reputable journal in anything resembling it's current form. The issue is that it doesn't have to in order to influence the public debate. Instead of publishing, he has uploaded the paper to a pre-print server, which normally serves to make medical research manuscripts available to other researchers, so they can take their content into consideration in relation to their own research. However, during the current crisis, both traditional and social media have taken to refer to papers in such preprints to get a jump on the newest information. As such, people have already taken to Twitter to use this paper to argue against the continuation of lockdown measures.\n\nTL;DR: Stanford scientist turned anti-lockdown activist goes from arguing that lockdowns could be a \"once-in-a-century evidence fiasco,\" to conducting a sketchy study purporting to show that COVID-19 is much more widespread and less deadly than believed, and on to write a pseudo-scientific review article in which he cherry-picks and misrepresents other studies to support his point (discussed in linked thread). This study is then picked up by others social media as an argument against current lockdown measures.\n\nEdit: Added the rest of the story.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_gnt59w", "post_id": "gnt59w", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/gmn7ju/the_infection_fatality_rate_of_covid19_inferred/fr4j77i?", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/gnt59w/upolabud_and_others_discuss_the_serious/", "post_created_utc": 1590050552, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "frcsi3m", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 49, "answer_created_utc": 1590077714}}

Basically, I would browse /r/mensrights daily, load up on a dose of \"look what all these evil women/feminists did\" and then just carry that with me, everywhere.\n\nI implore anyone to just look at that subreddit, and you will just see it is all ragebait. [This is a heartwarming story](https://i.imgur.com/3Fad8x2.jpg) that is posted on that subreddit. What is the title? \"Toxic masculinity, amirite?\", implying that toxic masculinity doesn't exist because a guy in India dug a well. This is such a bullshit argument but they don't care.\n\nOne super important detail is that the ragebait is almost always small scale things. You will have things like \"twitter personality X said Y\" or \"in one criminal case, Z happened\". Then you use that to relate it to whatever large scale belief you want. You just proudly exclaim \"see, women can do X, Y, or Z without repercussions\".\n\n[Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/gvw16m/brian_banks_reaction_for_his_false_rape_charge/) is a good example. A guy was falsely convicted for a rape that didn't happen. That is horrible. Then you have comments like these:\n\n>What makes this even more obnoxious is the feminist movement to hold men responsible for crimes they have not committed.  \n>  \n>\\[...\\]  \n>  \n>This movement is putting men in prisons, driving them to suicide, and criminalising masculinity.\n\nLets see, looking at the wikipedia page this is news from 2013, but hey, why waste some good ragebait? Just reuse it over and over again. Ok, now on to the details of the case.\n\n>Faced with a possible 41 years to life sentence, he accepted a plea bargain that included five years in prison, five years of probation, and registering as a sex offender.  \n>  \n>\\[...\\]  \n>  \n>Banks says that his lawyer said that by pleading guilty he would receive probation, but no jail time.\n\nOk, so it looks like he had a really shitty and unethical lawyer and he plead guilty. But what about the feminist movement? They want to hold men responsible for crimes they have not committed. Surely there must be some sort of source for that. Of course there isn't. Not a single feminist organization commented on this, or had anything to do with him going to prison. Actually looking at the organisation that got him exonerated, they are 76% female. But hey, that isn't important. What is important that feminism is responsible for this! After all, feminists created the plea bargaining system of the US court system, right? \n\nThere is a real problem here, but who actually cares what it really is? This isn't something that is meant to understand or look at closely. This is something meant to inspire hate and rage. It is a top up.

{"question_title": "Why does a modern web browser need 4gb of ram?", "body": "I think there's really two things happening that give us this idea that a web browser (especially Chrome, which is both the most common and most notorious for using lots of ram) \"needs\" lots of ram:\n\n* As the commenter described, there's a lot going on in modern webpages. And as other people pointed out as computers have been shipping with more and more ram, so developers are going to use it\n* Chrome doesn't *need* 4gb to run. There are chromebooks that sell with 2gb and that runs the kernel/os and chrome on top of it. Granted, if you have lots of big pages open, it'll slow down when switching tabs, but each page will run fine\n\nWhat modern browsers and especially chrome will do is *use ram if it's available*. We have this idea that a program will use a certain amount of RAM while running, and we want to avoid using up too much of our RAM at once because then things won't run well. So we add more RAM to our computer, and check to make sure our programs aren't using a lot of. Except what you'll see is that if you keep adding more RAM, chrome will keep using more of it (up to some limit). Why? Because if you store more information in easily accessible memory things run better and smoother. Chrome can keep lots of tabs active/rendering even when you're not using them, or it can pre-fetch pages that you're likely to click on, etc. \n\nMemory doesn't do any good just sitting there, as long as there's a little headspace so the OS has room to move things around, and open/close blocks as needed, having tons of empty RAM doesn't make my computer faster. In fact the opposite is true, as long as I'm not bumping up against 100% utilization, having most of my RAM doing something will make my programs faster.

{"question_title": "How Does WiFi Work?", "body": "Weirdly with a quick skin through it misses out on the main idea of a LAN, that many stations talk at the same time. Broadcast LANs where one node sends to many at the same time, actually started back with a project called Aloha for the University of Hawaii back in n the 70s with John Metcalf's (amongst others). Everyone can send a packet at once but they also listen and if the signal is distorted by another transmission, they back off and try again after a delay. This was taken to using a shared coax cable (so-called Ethernet)  as the connection medium as an open standard. LANs continued to evolve based on physical links and mostly wireless was point to point, not shared as well n the original Aloha net  worked but was fairly slow (9600Bps). \n\nIf you wanted to run it fast then interference would make it too difficult to run. That where an Australian astrophycist John O'Sullivan worked on an idea at CSIRO on using multiple carrier signals to send large amounts of data at short ranges avoiding distortion by reflections from objects (The Fidelity bit in Wireless Fidelity). Eventually when this went commercial with the earliest 802.11 standard pioneered by Vic Hays, they could manage 2Mbits per second.\n\nNote as more and more were sharing the same frequencies, then came the need for allow for more noise and still recover the signal. The principles were established back around WW2 by skipping from frequency to frequency, something co-invented by the film star Hedy Lamarr.

{"question_title": "u/McJunker describes the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg.", "body": ">Myself being secular humanist with a vaccination against Protestantism from my younger days, I don’t have much in the way of codified religion.\n\nSomeone should tell this person where Western humanism came from. Also, this part killed me:\n\n>Two lines, violently opposed but unmoving; courage and horror frozen into place forever. And the world there seemed very big, and very grand, and I felt very small and unworthy. The air was at once colder and hotter than any air I’d ever felt. The wind cut through my clothing and reminded me that flesh was mortal but spirit was eternal. This was holy ground, soil consecrated by blood. Shi’ite Muslims have Karbala. Catholics have the Road to Calvary. Australian aboriginals have Uluru. I have Gettysburg.\n\n\"I don't have a religion. I'm vaccinated against Protestantism. On a completely different note, this battlefield is my Mecca.\"\n\nDoes this American 'old school nationalist' really not understand how deeply ingrained religion is with American national identity? \n\n>And on the flip side, most Southerners who fought in the war perceived quite accurately that outsiders were coming into their world to demand submission, and had decided to give these invaders the William Wallace treatment. This is a normal and admirable response that every healthy society should have in its toolbox, and in my not-even-slightly humble opinion it is a damn shame that so many people endured so much agony in support of so un-American a cause.\n\nI get what they are trying to say, but I take issues with this on two grounds.\n\nFirst, I take issue with the way this separates the act of reacting to something from what is being reacted to. I don't care how noble the general concept of resistance is, the antebellum South's racialized slave society was neither admirable nor normal, and those who defended it should be humanized but not lauded like this. And if anyone takes issue with that, I'll save you the time and put my response here ahead of time. Yes, slavery has existed throughout human history. No, not all forms of slavery are the same. While many forms of unfree labor existed throughout history and are always bad, the race-based chattel slavery that the trans-Atlantic thalassocracies had was really bad. So bad, that we're still seeing evidence of it in the foundations of our societies today.\n\nSecond, below the surface-level condemnation of slavery, this part of the post reeks of War-of-Northern-Aggressionism. The South did not percieve \"quite accurately\" that the North was coming to change their way of life.The South wasn't just sitting at home minding its own business when Big Brother Industrialized North came down and smacked the slavery out of them. The South was *actively* attempting to expand slavery in the decades prior to the Civil War.  The North and South had both been maneuvering around eachother on the issue of slavery for decades prior to the war breaking out. The Ostend Manifesto, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Missouri Compromise, Fugitive Slave Act, and [\"fillibustering\"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibuster_(military) in Latin America are some good examples of how this political struggle was playing out. Part of the reason the war broke out when it did was that the South had been losing this competition and perceived Abraham Lincoln's victory in the Election of 1860 as an existential threat. Of course, this was not actually the case because Lincoln did not actively seek to end slavery in the South until the war was well underway. Lincoln is complicated because he was quite willing to make compromises with the South for a long time, but personally he was not in favor of slavery (to varying degrees throughout his life). What pushed the South over the edge was Lincoln's efforts to restrict the aforementioned *expansion* of slavery. So when this post frames it as the South giving \"giving the William Wallace treatment\" to outsiders \"coming into their world to demand submission\", they are incorrect.\n\n>The side wearing grey were staunch defenders of a country based on the Ideal of Ethnic Supremacy, and the side wearing blue were fighting for a country based on the Ideal of Equality. \n\nThis is also incorrect. The North was not attempting to be a country based on racial, economic, or social equality. Being against the institution of slavery is not the same thing as being pro racial equality. They say this earlier in their own post. On top of that, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and West Virginia were all slave states that remained in the Union.\n\nI'm surprised this is doing so well here. The part about the battle is interesting and well-written, but the author clearly has a very romanticized version of this history that prefaces a very romantic retelling of the battle itself. History is more than troop numbers, tactical operations, and weapons used. This post is a muddled mix of City-on-a-Hill American nationalism, Lost Cause inaccuracies, and human-interest story. This post clearly wants to just get past the history and wax poetic about the battle as a human tragedy, but the background section kills it for me.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_hkh3s8", "post_id": "hkh3s8", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMotte/comments/hk23w0/welcome_to_gettysburg_day_one/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/hkh3s8/umcjunker_describes_the_first_day_of_the_battle/", "post_created_utc": 1593774144, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "fwuhd2c", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 61, "answer_created_utc": 1593813627}}

More people need to understand that the narrative that the Treaty of Versailles was too harsh only exists because German conservatives and veterans almost immediately started bitching about it and looking for ways to get out from under it.\n\nThe German economy collapsed because the German government ran it incompetently, not because the allies were too harsh.  They decided not to raise taxes during the war and paid for it entirely with debt, because they thought the war would pay for itself with the spoils of victory.   They decided to print money after the war to buy the gold necessary to pay the reparations, which just led to hyperinflation.  \n\nAt any time they could have simply leveraged their strong and relatively undamaged industrial base to pay off their debts, but that would have mean that the elites would have had to take a haircut as a consequence for supporting ruinous foreign policies.  Can’t have that.  Better to foist the consequences on the people and blame foreigners and Jews.\n\nFrance, in comparison, took its licks for losing the war in 1870 and paid off its similarly sized reparations to Germany within the decade.

What about babies, or someone who's is born with severe mental handicaps or has significant brain damage at some point in their life? What if we invent a computer that can converse easily with \"true\" language?\n\nWhat I think is a much more interesting question though, is how well do homo sapiens function in modern society? The brain of someone from 200,000 years ago is basically the same as ours today, but the world we live in is dramatically different. Our brains evolved for a time when finding enough calories to not starve to death every day was a primary concern, and we might only ever meet a couple hundred people in our entire lives.\n\nWe're capable of rational thought, but there's [tons of evidence and research](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow) showing that we don't rely on it. In fact, most of our choices, almost all the time aren't slow, deliberate, rational thought (so called \"type 2\" thinking\"), instead we rely on \"type 1\" thinking which is fast and efficient. We make most of our choices based on instinct and emotion and habit and a crazy amount of shortcuts (also called [cognitive biases](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases).\n\nHaving brains that were fast and efficient, and occasionally made huge errors was fine as long as the errors didn't result in starving to death or getting eaten by a tiger (e.g. run away at the first sign of danger, or over eat when food is plentiful). But these errors that didn't matter at all 100,000 or 200,000 or even 20,000 years ago, start to be incredibly important in the world we've created for ourselves. Overeating is a serious health concern, we can't even consistently asses straightforward data on things like vaccines or whether the earth is flat. These aren't complicated questions, they're just things that we never evolved mental shortcuts to deal with, so we can only asses them rationally, and if we don't (which is the default state for everyone), we have a unnervingly high chance of getting the answer wrong.\n\nNow think about how many problems are like that in everyday life, basic medicine, finance, big and little societal and cultural frictions and problems, basic governance, etc. We're wired to \"naturally\" get a lot of these questions wrong, *and not noticed that we're wrong*, some decent percentage of the time.

{"question_title": "u/lookmeat explains the advantages of fiber-optic cables over copper", "body": "To be honest, this is not a great answer.\n\n* *Lower latency.* Not sure what OP is getting at there. Speed of signal in copper cable is typically between 0.6c and 0.8c. Speed of signal in optical fiber is typically between 0.6c and 0.7c.\n\n* *No electrical resistance.* OP notes that optical attenuation is also a thing: it is perfectly analogous to electrical resistance. Repeater spacing for both optical and coaxial cable systems varies widely as a function of bandwidth and other conditions; typical long-haul coax might have 20km spacing and typical fiber 100km.\n\n* *Noise/retransmission.* Optical fiber is much more resistant to environmental noise than copper. That said, low-level retransmission is not typically performed on long-haul cables: instead enough forward error correction is used to make lost or corrupted packets rare. Copper's lower reliability thus manifests mostly as reduced bandwidth due to increased forward error correction rates.\n\n* *Higher bandwidth.* This is indeed the major advantage of glass over copper: a single strand of glass can carry much more information per unit time than a thick copper cable bundle.\n\n  OP's explanation of the reasons for this are somewhat confusing in my opinion, but it's a confusing topic. Both copper and glass can carry different frequency bands simultaneously, with each band transferring some amount of information. However, the frequencies possible for glass are much, much higher, which works out to mean that a piece of glass can carry many more bands each signaling at higher rates.\n\n* *Fiber cable simplicity.* The cost and complexity of making bundles of copper and glass wires are comparable. Copper is a much more expensive material per unit volume. Copper is much more malleable and resilient against kinking and bending. However, big copper cables, like big fiber bundles, are going to be hard to bend anyhow. The cost and difficulty of connecting fibers to each other or to other things is significantly higher than the cost and difficulty of connecting up copper wires. Mutual isolation between fibers in a bundle is indeed much much better than wires in a cable, and this is indeed a factor in improving fiber bundle performance.\n\nAt the end of the day, it's the bandwidth of fiber that's the big deal. One can see this in the last-mile installations going in in major US cities: you might be able to get gigabit DSL over copper, but you can easily get 10-100Gb over glass. The only reason that gigabit DSL is a thing is that it is glass most of the way to the endpoint; the cost and difficulty of putting enough copper in to handle all that would be prohibitive.\n\n(*Edit:* Typo fix.)", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_jiwvv2", "post_id": "jiwvv2", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/jimyg1/why_are_optic_fiber_cables_or_the_technology_is/ga936mj/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/jiwvv2/ulookmeat_explains_the_advantages_of_fiberoptic/", "post_created_utc": 1603784723, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "ga991k7", "answer_comment_name": "", "answer_score": 38, "answer_created_utc": 1603790430}}

{"question_title": "u/snowycato explains the likelihood of a couple having two children who are exact replicas of each other", "body": "It's way more complicated than this. The OP mentions\n> it's not each gene that individually gets inherited or not, its each chunk of genes.\n\nWhich I think is a gesture in the direction of *linkage*, but the subsequent calculation shows no knowledge of it. There's some interesting history here, because this phenomenon was used to map human chromosomes very early on in the 20th century. A scientist named Sturtevant established that recombination frequency was directly related to chromosomal distance in a set of experiments before he was even 20 years old, back in the 1910s. Since the size of fragments can vary hugely during recombination, it is possible that genes located very far apart on the chromosome will be inherited together: it's just less likely.\n\nHave a look at some *linkage maps* : They illustrate how the amount of linkage varies with distance. The unit of measurement is the centimorgan (cM) or map unit. 1 cM corresponds to a recombination frequency of 1%, that is, you would expect the two points in question to be separated (on average) in one in a hundred gametes. These frequencies can get fairly high. On chromosome 11 of Tilapia, UNH891 is 77 cM from UNH226. To sum that all up, crossovers don't happen at a fixed rate and can span the entire chromosome.\n\nIt is also possible for a thing called non-homologous crossover to happen, where similar but not identical sequences from different parts of the chromosome bind to a dissimilar fragment. These can cause the *insertion* or *deletion* of fragments of the genetic code, or even lead to *reduplication*, where the embryonic chromosome has two copies of a gene both parents only have one of. \n\nMutation is also constantly happening in our cells. The question is about children, rather than gametes, so the mutations that take place in the embryo have to be taken into account.

{"question_title": "/u/tim36272 explains why safety-critical programs are often written in C, a programming language that has next to no safeguards", "body": "This isn't accurate -- a lot of critical software is written in C++. Check out the [F35 style guide](https://www.stroustrup.com/JSF-AV-rules.pdf) for one example; NASA has [another](https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20080039927). Both C and C++ rely on dynamic allocation when writing non safety critical code but can work without them and templates are allowed under the JSF standards. Meanwhile the type safety C++ provides can avoid issues like the Mars Climate Orbiter.\n\n​\n\nInstead it's a cultural difference. When C++ was invented, C was being used for two different things. The first was writing mainframe applications like calculating payroll. C++ added features that made writing complex programs easier and safer so largely captured this market. But C was also being used for writing embedded software that runs in everything from microwaves to toys. The C++ standard library couldn't run on these tiny devices and the logic was relatively simple so they stuck with C.\n\n​\n\nThat cultural difference has been entrenched by the subsequent development of mainframes and embedded systems. The myriad different mainframe architectures no longer exist -- now almost everyone is writing code that will be deployed to linux systems on x86 chips. That makes it really easy to develop new languages and so application engineers have migrated to increasingly safe languages like java. Meanwhile embedded engineers must write software for an ever increasing number of chips and architectures like RISC-V and want a single language that can work with all of them, so have stuck with C.\n\n​\n\nSo now while the chips inside life critical systems are usually quite powerful and the logic has  become increasingly complex, C remains the default choice. The advantages that C++ or Rust provide aren't worth the cost and risk of either training application engineers to write embedded systems or forcing existing embedded engineers to abandon years of experience and switch languages.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_lm152m", "post_id": "lm152m", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/C_Programming/comments/llwg2e/what_are_common_uses_of_c_in_the_real_world/gns54z3?context=2", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/lm152m/utim36272_explains_why_safetycritical_programs/", "post_created_utc": 1613586502, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "gnsxz2o", "answer_comment_name": "t1_gnsxz2o", "answer_score": 271, "answer_created_utc": 1613593187}}

You should read the US Supreme Court [ruling](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/18-956_d18f.pdf) to get a clearer idea of the basis, scope and effect of this decision.\n\nThe ability of copyright to protect an API was never at issue in this case ­— rather, it was the right to protect specific code defining an API under copyright. Linux, for example, which has its own separately-written version of the UNIX APIs, would not have had to give up those APIs if the decision had gone the other way. (See [*UNIX SYSTEM LABORATORIES, INC., Plaintiff, v. BERKELEY SOFTWARE DESIGN, INC., and certain named individuals in their collective capacity as The Regents of the University of California, Defendants*](http://cm.bell-labs.co/who/dmr/bsdi/930303.ruling.txt) for some case law on this issue. \"For example, the UNIX operating systems contain files\ncalled 'header' files.  Header files are repositories of common\ndefinitions and declarations.  If a programmer knows that an\noperating system contains a certain header file, then the\nprogrammer can simply refer to the header file and avoid\nreproducing all of the definitions and declarations.  Of course,\nsuch a program can only run with an operating system having the\nproper header files.  Therefore, Defendants have included 32V's\nheader files in Net2 as a matter of necessity, to insure that the\nmany programs written for UNIX-like systems will be compatible with\nNet2.\")\n\nIt will be interesting to see the effect of this ruling on Linux. Prior to today, the Linux developers had always argued that use of Linux header files in a kernel module required that the module be released under the GPL. The Linux developers' explicit reasoning was the \"copying\" of the header files constituted copyright infringement by production of a derivative work of the Linux kernel, unless done in a way that the GPL authorized. It looks to me like this ruling pretty much puts paid to that, at least in the US: USC has explicitly said that there's such a thing as fair use of those header files.\n\nDepending on your personal views, this might be considered a loss for open source software.\n\n(*Editorial:* I personally don't think US courts would ever have recognized including Linux header files as creating a derivative work of Linux, so I don't think this ruling changes the actual situation much.

{"question_title": "Why are west and north surnames very common", "body": "And this comment too:\n\nSo I'll take a stab at this, but I'm afraid there isn't going to be a satisfying answer. And my academic English isn't well practiced right now. I'm a linguist and I specialize in historical linguistics and phonology, so the etymology of surnames is something I've studied.\n\nSurnames have developed in different ways at different times throughout the world, so I'm going to ignore a lot of information and just focus on England since we're dealing with English surnames. Normans brought the practice of surnames to England in 1066. There were several options for strategies to surnaming that are common to the western world that England also followed: 1) your surname was your occupation (Smith, Fletcher, Cook, Taylor, Turner, Knight, etc.). 2) your surname was the place where you lived. This could be a very specific place in the case of wealthy land owners, the name of a castle for example (this is/was a strong tradition among nobility), or it could be slightly more generic like the name of a town, lake, river, mountain etc. (Preston, Hilton, Stanley, Thames ). Or it was even more generic and was just the name of a \"nearby\" geographic feature without a proper name (Heath, Dale, Hill). Some in England used their father's given name as their surname (Johnson, Davidson, etc.). They could even be strictly descriptive (Redhead, Black, Little, Armstrong). This is not an exhaustive list of strategies, but these were the most common.\n\nHowever, for a long time, these names were not fixed. If you changed occupation, or moved, then you changed your surname. It wasn't until the 1400s that this system becomes mostly stable and strictly hereditary.\n\nNow, having the last name of a cardinal direction stems from the \"generic place name\" strategy. People would've chosen them because they lived or were from \"north\" or \"west\" of something, probably in or near a town, or a prominent geographic feature and more rarely for having immigrated from one of those directions. So it's impossible to say *specifically* what each instance of this surname referred to. The name \"West\" was for example most common in Essex, which is as far east as you can be in England! \"South\" and \"East\" aren't particularly common, but language has evolved dramatically since the Norman conquest and other forms do exist such as \"Eastes,\" \"Estes\", and \"Este.\" For \"South\" there exists a large number of variations ( Soth, Sother, Sotheron, Southers, Southern, Soutt, Soot, Soots, Sowte, and Zute, there also exists variations of a different sort in surnames like Sutherland, or Southard).\n\nIf you were to add up all the possible variations that exist for South and East, I bet the numbers get much closer. Any remaining difference is just pure chance. People weren't given cardinal direction surnames in equal numbers, and those families haven't passed down the names in equal numbers. Which names survive and which dwindle is largely just chance, and this is true for all surnames. Obviously, certain surnames, like common occupations such as \"Smith\" have an edge but otherwise there was no method to giving everyone surnames. It was a free and chaotic process. So I'm afraid, there isn't a specific reason.\n\nFiennes, J. (2015). The Origins of English Surnames: The Story of Who We Were. Robert Hale.\n\nHough, C. (2018).

{"question_title": "/u/Iphikrates discusses how studies of Sparta have evolved in recent years", "body": "I love the notion that Spartans were not professional soldiers so much as they were professional citizens. The idea of warfare was inexplicably tied to citizenship for most of the Greek city-states, and if you wanted to be a noted and voting citizen you were part of the military, either in their armies, as a hoplite, whatever. But not in the way that a modern soldier or, say, a Roman legionary would be - someone who signs decades away to serve as a fill time soldier. Instead you would serve for periods of time, or be called in response to a military threat, serve your time, then return to the citizenry.\n\nI think it's important to also note that the archeological record tends to back up the view that Sparta wasn't much different from their neighbours. If we didn't have the written records we do, likely we wouldn't think much of Sparta at all - I think even Thebes had a more impressive city, certainly Athens, Syracuse, Rhodes and Corinth. But those written records are there, and as noted here the authors were Greeks writing for Greeks, of course they're going to highlight differences, even exaggerate them.

Much of the post is tendentious; bald statements of fact with no support and charged rhetoric.\n\nGenuinely scratching my head on this one. Ostensibly, this is an in-depth treatment on whether \"heartbeat law\" is a good term to use for these laws. This is directly tied to whether what's going on is a heartbeat, and whether the organ in question is a heart.\n\nThe post uses four sentences to discuss these questions. There's an admission that doctors do in fact use the term \"heartbeat\" when explaining this stage of development to patients. They then claim that it's not actually a heart, but a \"rudimentary structure in an early phase of development.\" If we leave aside that there's 0 tension between being a heart and also a structure in development, Merari01 gives no reason to accept their reasoning. Just states it as true.\n\nIt then devolves into a rhetorically charged and substantively empty screed, attributing malicious intent and giving hopelessly flawed analysis of the motivations for millions of people who fall on the \"wrong side\" of the issue for Merari01.\n\nIs abortion murder? According to Merari01, no, but you won't find an in depth analysis as to why. The human fetus is a \"long way\" from having a heart or heartbeat, despite the fact that \"fetus\" covers the majority of prenatal development, from the embryonic stage all the way to the moment of birth. Does a fetus 1 minute before delivery not have a heart? In what sense is the \"rudimentary structure\" that pumps and circulates blood around the developing fetus *not* a heart? What then is this \"rudimentary structure?\" The use of that term is imprecise and appears to be an attempt to avoid the term \"heart,\" given that there's no attempt to persuade the reader.\n\nFurther confused, disjointed rambling about viability and miscarriages that are never tied into any kind of central point, and we end with a litany of accusations that anti-abortion advocates are manipulative, evil, cruel, misogynistic, etc. There's a confused attempt to diagnose the roots of \"anti-abortion sentiment,\" which in its brevity is matched only by the lack of context and depth of analysis it offers.\n\nNo idea why this would be linked or upvoted on DepthHub.\n\nEdited for grammar.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_ophtd6", "post_id": "ophtd6", "post_url": "https://reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/op4j5n/i_think_its_a_good_idea/h63j1zd", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/ophtd6/umerari01_gives_a_perspective_on_why_they/", "post_created_utc": 1626972513, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "h65stf9", "answer_comment_name": "t1_h65stf9", "answer_score": 162, "answer_created_utc": 1626980996}}

Nobody wins hearts and minds with \"or else\". \n\nThe real error, though, is the cost of time. Yes yes, it is very cheap to buy rice and beans. But holy shit are they a pain in the ass.

Choose 2, because the number of things that satisfy all 3 is a short list that gets old fast. \n\nFurthermore, there is the issue of \"quick bites\".

Example, they state that moral grayness for our heroes is only brought on by the ring, so it means less than the faults of the characters in Dune brought on by the system, or lifestyle. I don't agree with this.  Most people want to be good, they are tempted by various things, rationalize why they should do the bad thing to get what they want, then finally do it. It is a realistic portrayal of human nature regardless of the systems involved.\n\nBoromir wants the ring, his rationalization is to protect his people, but we know that will not be the end of it, because you can always take that rationalization further. \n Every character had something like that which would have caused their fall eventually. Even Frodo, who desires nothing but to return to the idealized rustic life, fails at the end.

The US military needed the manpower, and the theory was that if we lower some entrance standards, no biggie, right? As an added benefit, these dumber poorer people would receive essentially social welfare programs via the military - jobs, healthcare, stability, training, etc. Sounds great right?\n\nVery, very wrong.\n\nTurns out there is an intelligence floor you need to be at to be a functional soldier. There is a delicate balance the services have to strike between being selective in who they let in and meeting their recruitment needs. A modern military requires more intelligent service members - not every Joe Schmoe can troubleshoot the Avionics on an F-15, handle the logistics of a battalion, or even just be an IT person.\n\nBut this was back as late as the 60s, and these troops couldn't do basic math, remember their grandmother's name, would play practical jokes by tossing live grenades instead of inert ones, or forget their squad set up an ambush, leave, and walk right up to it and get shot.\n\nThey let in actually medically diagnosed mentally handicapped people.\n\nThey did far worse than their peers, they died at higher rates, and turns out they were outperformed by their civilian counterparts who never were enlisted in the first place.\n\nAnd then in the 80s the DoD just straight up botched the ASVAB grading (think the SAT to join the military) that let in more less than qualified applicants. So there was a second generation of lower intelligence enlistees the military had to deal with.\n\nSome links below:\n\n[Wiki: Project 100,000 aka McNamara's Folly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_100,000)\n\n[Book review/summary of McNamara's Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War by Geegory Hamilton](https://www.gwern.net/reviews/McNamara) (more IQ focused than I'd like, but probably the best summary out there)\n\n[Low-Aptitude Men In The Military: Who Profits, Who Pays?, Laurence and Ramberger 1991](https://www.gwern.net/docs/iq/ses/1991-laurence-lowaptitudemeninthemilitary.pdf)⁠.)

But more importantly, the \"propping up of markets\" doesn't come from the *lowering* it comes from rates being low. They don't have to lower rates below zero to prop up asset prices, that has already been happening and will continue to happen for as long as rates are this low. \n\nAnd...QE. The Fed's solution for not going negative is quantitative easing, which also definitionally props up asset prices. QE involves printing money to buy stuff, so it can increase indefinitely. \n\n>one might also argue they are also currently incentivized to increase rates to combat rising inflation.\n\nThe Fed wants rates higher, they have been begging for fiscal stimulus to cause inflation so they can normalize rates. This is standard economics. \n\n>This is why there is fear. The FED has been sticking its hands in for 40 years to prop up markets, and now it seems they are going to stop, at least for now.\n\nThink about why the Fed would have to increase rates to reduce inflation (aka asset prices). It's because asset prices are being pushed up by something else (fiscal stimulus or supply chain disruptions or both depending on your political lens).

{"question_title": "/u/TotalAnarchy_ gives in-depth historical account of the notion of 'Satan' and hell-with-pitchforks.", "body": "Ehhhhhh, it's well thought out but I disagree with him on the physical appearance of Satan and I think so would most scholars.\n\nSatan's physical attributes are never described in the bible, instead, these are depictions that have been formed since the publication of the bible and are communicated through artwork and writings to the point that the public at large has some agreement about his appearance.\n\nSatan's appearance was purposely described in order for Christianity to de-legitimize other competing religions of the time so that they could get a larger foothold in the spiritual world. Christianity wasn't always the monolithic religion we know it as now. For a long while it was an underdog and had to develop methods to combat other religions.\n\nWho was Christianity's main rival at the time? The Pagans.\n\nLiterally everything about Satan's appearance is a clever not to Paganism, specifically Pan, one of their major God figures. Satan is hooved, has horns and a spiked tail. That doesn't make ANY sense for a fallen angel! But it's almost a spot on depiction of Pan. Also, that pitchfork ain't a pitchfork, it's an analog for a Trident, throwing more shade at 2 more competing religions: the pitchfork is emblematic of the trident that Poseidon (Greek mythology) and Neptune (Roman mythology) carried with them.\n\nEarly Christians LITERALLY demonized other religions by designing Christianity's main antagonists to be directly related to the god figures of other religions.\n\nBut when Christianity couldn't demonize another religion, they simply just usurped them.\n\nWhen you really think about it, Christmas as a Christian tradition makes absolutely 0 sense in the context of other themes and rituals in the bible. It's one of the holiest days in all of Christianity but it just doesn't make sense. Why is this?\n\nBecause the Christians straight up stole it from the Pagans. The \"rituals\" of Christmas such as the lighting of candles, the giving of gifts and right down to the Fir Christmas Tree (which surprise, surprise, is totally NOT native to the Middle East) are all PAGAN! Most astute people debating Christian theology are quick to point out that being born in December doesn't make sense if you analyze how the star formations are depicted during the journey of the 3 kings to Nazareth and that by that depiction, Jesus was likely born in July.\n\nSo why December? Because that's when the Pagan's celebrated their holiday. Along with all the candles, and gift giving, and appreciation for trees and nature in general. The Christians literally stole the entire holiday, complete with it's traditions, symbolism and date. They knowingly and wrongfully connected the birth of Christ to it and just called it Christmas.\n\nIt's easier to think of early competing religions like a group of corporations competing with each other for market space. If they couldn't get enough people to buy their product based on it's own merits, they will denigrate the other products. If they can't get force a negative perception of the other product within the public, then they try to bully them out of the market and sometimes will literally buy another company in order to completely obscure and remove the product they couldn't compete with.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_tgagtm", "post_id": "tgagtm", "post_url": "https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/tg0a4p/why_would_satan_burn_people_who_disobeyed_the/i1015bz/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/tgagtm/utotalanarchy_gives_indepth_historical_account_of/", "post_created_utc": 1647524337, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "i124w2j", "answer_comment_name": "t1_i124w2j", "answer_score": 56, "answer_created_utc": 1647545844}}

Whenever he wasn't properly programmed, the things that would come out of his mouth were kind of like - they weren't lies really, they were kind of like the babbling of a child. If a child babbles, it's not lies, it's just sort of on some other plane. To be able to lie, you have to have a certain degree of competence, you have to know what truth is. And there didn't seem to be any indication that that was the case here. So in fact, all of the fuss in the Iran-contra hearings about \"did Reagan know or didn't he know\" [about the National Security Council's illegal dealings with Iran and the Nicaraguan contras], or \"did he remember or didn't he remember?\" I personally regarded as a cover-up. What's the difference? He didn't know if nobody told him, and he didn't remember if he forgot. And who cares? He wasn't supposed to know. Reagan's whole career was reading lines written for him by rich folk. First it was as a spokesman for General Electric, then it was for somebody else, and he just continued to the White House: he read the lines written for him by the rich folk, he did it for eight years, they paid him nicely, he apparently enjoyed it, he seems to have been quite cheerful there, had a good time.

Foreign Exchange (FOREX) is a real thing among the government-backed currencies of the world, and investment in an undervalued foreign currency is not an unheard-of way to make money in real life.\n\nThe question Bitcoin has to answer, in this view, is what underlying assets back the currency, and what is the future value of these assets? The answer in this case seems to be that the underlying asset is the money held by Bitcoin exchanges. If you believe that this money is large enough and will grow in value *intrinsically* (as opposed to just by people buying more Bitcoin) then you might invest in Bitcoin.\n\nThe possible intrinsic sources of value I can see here are prudent financial investment by the Bitcoin exchanges and the reduction of transaction friction (loss of money due to fees, taxes, and other transaction costs). Sadly for Bitcoin, the constant fraud and theft by the exchanges makes the financial future of their money way negative; the transaction friction is arguably very high due to high transaction fees due to funding mining and the tremendous hassle of dealing with Bitcoin.\n\nOther cryptocurrencies have chosen to go with proof-of-stake systems that dramatically lower transaction costs, and it is conceivable that somebody (most likely the big traditional banks) could build a cryptocurrency system that reliably and prudently invests the money they hold.\n\nI think there conceivably *could* be a cryptocurrency that would be a legitimate FOREX investment.

{"question_title": "u/Easywayscissors explains what chatGPT and AI models really are", "body": "This is a really good summary of the tech. A couple things that I’ve noticed about chatGPT - it’s very good at *pastiche*, which basically means it’s good at transforming something into the style of something else. So you can prompt it with “tell me about yesterdays Yankees game in the style of a Shakespearean sonnet” and it’ll give you a rundown of the game, iambic pentameter and all. In other words it’s pretty good at imitating things stylistically, similar to how generative AI art has popped up all over the web recently. Pretty cool tech with some nice (and lots of not-so-nice) implications.\n\nThe other thing is that the general public (and many within tech circles) make really bad assumptions about what’s going on under the hood. People are claiming that it’s very close to *human cognition*, based on the fact that its output will often appear human like. But you don’t have to do too many prompts to see that its base *understanding* is incredibly lacking. In other words, it’s good at mimicking human responses (based on learning from human responses, or at least human supervision of text), but it doesn’t display real human cognition. It’s basically imitation that sometimes works, and sometimes doesn’t work, but surely doesn’t rise to the level of what we would call cognition. You don’t have to work very hard to give it a prompt that yields a complete gibberish response.\n\nThe tech itself is very cool, and has applications all over the place. But I think of it more of a productivity tool for humans, rather than replacing humans, or actually generating novel (meaning unique) responses. The scariest application for me is the idea that bad actors (Russian troll bots etc) can weaponize it online to appear human and dominate conversations online. This is already happening to an extent, but this tech can really hypercharge it.

{"question_title": "u/The_Last_Minority on the threat of colonization and other Western influence on Japan’s modernization (3 total replies)", "body": "It is generally a good comment, but the idea that the LDP was somehow \"imposed\" on Japan after WW2 a stretch at best, and the idea that it has always been in power, is hilariously - pants on head - stupid. For the first accusation, the LDP didn't even come into existence until 1955, which was three years after the US ended its occupation in 1952. And while the CIA, rather predictably in the era, was both anti-Socialist and anti-Communist, giving under the table campaign contributions to their opponents, it was the Japanese voters who picked the party.\n\nThis hardly lasted though. By the time 1989 rolled around, the LDP was a minority in parliament. And in 1994, the Socialist Party and the LDP (formerly bitter rivals) formed a majority coalition to regain power. Since them, the LDP's political fortunes have gone up and down, winning and losing as public mood has shifted. In 2009 the LDP took a particularly stinging defeat, taking only 118 seats - the worst showing it ever had. \n\nNo, the reason why the LDP remains a dominant political player in Japan is because it appeals to many Japanese. It is a conservative nationalistic party, akin to old-school (non-Trumpian) Republicanism in the US. Although even there, the LDP's positions are considerably more socially democratic than Republicans have ever been (at least in the 20th century).

You can true up the precise time of return often to find the flight number and airline.

I fail to see how this time will be any different.\n> \n> Edit: I’d like to supplement my original comment because I’m being accused of being a Sony shill for my stance on the matter. I’ve owned every Xbox console and have an active sub to Game Pass. I currently have a PS5, Xbox One X; Series X and OG Nintendo Switch.\n> \n> I believe that any form of market consolidation is bad for the consumer, and I would readily make the same charge of Sony were they the ones involved in this M&A with ABK.\n> \n> If you would indulge me, wall of text incoming.\n> \n> I have a buddy who works in the retail industry for a company that specializes in its goods and wares. Pre-COVID—meaning, things in retail weren’t completely fucked—he came to me on an occasion and proudly proclaimed that his company’s competitors were doing poorly relative to his company and on the verge of either bankruptcy or going out of business altogether. I suggested that he shouldn’t be so quick to champion the downfall of his company’s competition; he personally possesses industry specific knowledge, business acumen and skills that are transferable to those companies and if they no longer exist, that’s one less job opportunity for him in the event that he wanted to take his talent somewhere else. He would no longer have a competitor willing to bid the price of his labor higher.\n> \n> While it’s important to acknowledge that truly perfect competition doesn’t exist, even though economic models are built on such foundation, we have all sorts of examples in the US of monopolistic and cartel-style behavior to keep prices fixed which harm consumers.\n> \n> During Google, Apple and Facebook’s meteoric ascent during the early oughts, how many companies were formed in Silicon Valley by founders who had no intention of making a viable product that could stand on its own, rather, they were hoping to be acquired and for the CEO and staff to get a payday and fade into obscurity? Many of them understood that they had absolutely no chance to compete with the giants who have unlimited access to cheap capital, lawyers and lobbying power. That’s why when you hear companies like Meta, Google and now OpenAI clamor for regulation, it’s a ploy to disarm potential competitors. As the incumbents, they know the drill; show up to a court hearing where they will be peppered by questioned from congress members who call them a “menace to our children” or accuse them of \"silencing conservative voices\" hoping to get their gotcha moment for their re-election campaign; the company will pay a fine, agree to some set of regular (self) audit and reporting and go back to business as usual. Meanwhile, the increased regulation will kill out new entrants before they can even get a chance to develop a customer base that could pose a threat.\n> \n> Similarly, how many of you have access to more than one ISP in your area? Is your internet service exceptional? If yes, please know that you are the exception not the rule. Have you ever found yourself with ultra shitty service/performance and high prices from the internet monopoly in your area only to have them suddenly offer you a cheaper rate out of the blue? It’s not because of their altruism, it's because another company has suddenly encroached on their turf, meaning, they could no longer get away with the bare minimum of service and have to invest.\n> \n> As another example; how are things going with T-Mobile US buying out Sprint consolidating the market from four major competitors to three? T-Mobile has suffered over five major data breaches in the past 24 months—one as recently as the last month. Despite the fact that they are more than double the size and are no longer the scrappy underdog that they pretended to be, their information security policies have been absolutely abhorrent for data privacy and security. Prices have not come down for consumers, nor is service demonstrably better than it was before, yet, we have fewer choices as consumers. (*among the big 3, I am aware of the MVNOs).\n> \n> Several years ago, Experian, one of the big 3 FICO Credit Reporting Agencies, suffered a massive data breach which leaked out Social Security Numbers of millions and millions of American citizens. Just like T-Mobile, their sheer size and access to cheap capital means that they can pay any fine with ease, all the while they receive hardly any punishment for below-standard data security policies. Fun fact, and additional evidence of their collusionary behavior, the big 3—Equifax, Experian and TransUnion—once filed a lawsuit to try to trademark credit ranges: https://www.reuters.com/article/fico-lawsuit/update-2-jury-rejects-fico-claims-in-credit-score-lawsuit-idUSN2023863020091120.\n> \n> I’ve said a lot here, and I have a ton more I could discuss about market consolidation in general. This is a nearly $2 trillion dollar company acquiring another company that is worth nearly $70 billion on its own. This is not some insignificant deal.\n> \n> I believe that much of the above is analogous to this deal and the gaming industry writ large: fewer publishers means fewer chances being taken and fewer ideas getting off the ground—what once was a viable gaming idea that ABK green-lit, now Microsoft has veto power. Fewer places of employment—if you work at ABK, now you work for Microsoft and are subject to their terms as an employer. Potentially higher prices, preferential treatment for one platform at the expense of another, and fewer choices overall.\n> \n-/u/jspeed04", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_13jq67p", "post_id": "13jq67p", "post_url": "https://np.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/13iab7n/breaking_the_eu_has_approved_microsofts/jk8sxqq/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/13jq67p/rjspeed04_gives_a_picture_of_the_competitiveness/", "post_created_utc": 1684294417, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "jkggldj", "answer_comment_name": "t1_jkggldj", "answer_score": 66, "answer_created_utc": 1684294489}}

If Reddit admins remove the very important privacy barriers that we have put in place there, not only will it cease to be usable for its intended purpose but some of us users may be put at risk of doxxing and given the nature of what we do, that can certainly lead to physical threats in edge cases. Now I have realized the importance of removing the entirety of my post and comment history from the site before there end of the month, and it turns out to be a non-trivial task as Reddit does not make it easy for a user to access their older and less prominent comments. I was only able to get my “top” comments down to around 35 karma points through the nuke tool. Through Google I found some others that were quoted on clickbait sites but not “top” enough relative to my profile page for Nuke Reddit to see and remove it. Perhaps the obscurity is enough but honestly, I don’t really know everything I’ve ever said here; my Reddit data is over 3.5 million words total. \n\nThe result of this for me personally is that it is a matter of personal safety for me to remove every word of content that I have contributed to this platform, which in my case is nearly five King James Bibles worth of contribution. That is why Reddit here is “cutting off their nose to spite their face.” The users that they are alienating are not, as they say, an insignificant and “entitled” tiny minority. We are indeed a “loud minority” but loud minorities are how sites like this succeed. We “loud minorities” produce the interesting and worthwhile comments and posts that people come here to read. The 99% of users who don’t use third party apps? Well, very few of them are moderators or high-karma contributors. The “only 1%” argument is just so utterly ignorant. Where else in reality is a group unimportant because of being a small percentage of the population? Only 1% of Americans work as lawyers, does that mean that our work is insignificant? Same with doctors, legislators, heck even cops and military. Imagine if someone said that as a society it would be fine for us to ostracize and exclude engineers and scientists because most people aren’t those things. It’s just beyond ignorant, and the most baffling part is that Spez absolutely should know better. I frankly don’t even see what Reddit sees as their end game here. They want a “community” purged of individualism and expertise, apparently. There are other comments from Spez suggesting he wants the site to be more like Twitter or TikTok, so more about volume, passive consumption, and of course ad delivery than about depth or expertise.

However, Stake understands that many viewers who are starting off disinterested in gambling will not decide to go out of their way to reach a platform primarily featuring gambling content - but viewers who are already watching a variety streamer will generally continue watching if content changes to gambling, or will swap to another stream on the same platform after \"their\" streamer goes offline.  If Kick can get those non-gambling viewers onto the platform, in the first place, eventually it will be able to serve them gambling content.  \n\nTwitch was highly appealing because content promoting Stake was interspersed among other innocuous and non-gambling content, and the draw of the platform and the streamers choosing to gamble was bringing in viewers that otherwise would not have chosen to watch gambling.  When they were banned from Twitch, they created their own platform - but while its content was confined to primarily streamers wanting to gamble, Kick was struggling to pull in the 'casual' viewers that Stake wants to expose to their content and recruit as gamblers.  \n\nKick is hurling money at the streaming marketplace because Stake understands that they need to clean up Kick's image and reputation or their investment in streaming will be a wash - if they can't lure in the same sort of non-gambling audience they had access to on Twitch, they will struggle to use streamed gambling to promote gambling on Stake.  The users already interested in going out of their way to watch someone stream slots already know about Stake and either already do, or never will, gamble there.

{"question_title": "/u/mredding explains why programming languages that seem archaic or overcomplicated still exist", "body": "There are a few points in there which i would say are incorrect.\n\n> Welcome to the world of system programming, where nothing is done for you, where everything has a cost and you have to opt into each and every one, where every single step is itself a customization point - and someone somewhere is definitely exercising it\n\nSo, the OP's question was:\n\n\"Why do you need to declare a header file? Wouldn't it be better to put something like a #export rather than duplicate the signatures in the header file? Why doesn't the compiler handle the #include to know which file to include for compilation?\"\n\nThe thing is, there *are* systems languages which do exactly this. Everything more modern than C++ does this. It's really only C++ that has this business of #include and header files. So \"because it's a systems language\" can't be a correct answer. Moreover, [C++ itself is adding modules](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/modules-cpp?view=msvc-170)!\n\nThe real reason that C++ is like this is that C did it because it was simple to implement, and C++ was built on top of C.\n\n> You can link Smalltalk with Ada95 with C/C++\n\nSmalltalk implementations are all, as far as i know, just-in-time compiled. Smalltalk has a rather dynamic object model, which means ahead-of-time compilation is more difficult and not as useful as it is for other languages. As such, you actually can't link it with Ada or C or C++.\n\n> COBOL is still the language of choice for mainframes\n\nCOBOL is still used on mainframes, but i think it's a stretch to call it the language of choice. [Mainframes support a range of languages](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos-basic-skills?topic=zos-programming-languages), including Java and C++, and it would be odd to start a new project in COBOL if you had a free choice today. There could still be good reasons why you would, though - if you already have a hundred million lines of COBOL in your application, and you want to add a new feature, it probably makes sense to do it in COBOL.\n\n> The stock exchanges are built on mainframes - they're not just beefy servers, they're a transactional architecture, something you can only emulate on server hardware.\n\nNo, exchanges can use conventional servers, and have done for a long time.

As a Muslim, I feel we have enough misogyny within our socio-religious context, we certainly don't need to add in Western idiocy into the mix.\n\nBut there are also factual errors. For example:\n\n> *In short, the practice of polygamy is not in scripture, but was the practice of the society which spawned Islam.*\n\nThat is not true:\n\n> *If you fear you might fail to give orphan women their ˹due˺ rights ˹if you were to marry them˺, then* ***marry other women of your choice—two, three, or four. But if you are afraid you will fail to maintain justice, then ˹content yourselves with˺ one*** *or those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession.

What happened to the other one? (**edit**: after re-reading it several times, I assumed he meant \"the habits of the Prophet\" (one item), not \"the Prophet\" and \"his habits\" (two items). In which case please ignore this point)\n\nSecond, the listing is a bit whack. Shouldn't the Prophet be listed first?\n\nThird, where's the Qur'an? It's a valid source of Islamic jurisprudence.\n\nFourth, the \"first four leaders of Islam\" - I assume he meant the Rashidun Caliphs - do not necessarily have theological priority over other companions (*sahabah*) of the Prophet. \n\nFifth, rather than say \"his habits...\", the appropriate term is *sunnah*. This is contrasted with what the Prophet said (*hadith*).\n\nBut finally, and the most important bit of all - anything not covered by these is considered **permissible by default**. To forbid what is not forbidden is actually *bida'ah* and is heresy.\n\nThat said, I also don't know what is \"deep\" about this. It's just listing (broadly) where each *madhab* (that's the proper word - **how come it's not used in the post at all?**) holds sway, and where they derive their rulings (it didn't even mention the name of the founders - Hanbali, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanafi are **names of said founders**).\n\nHonestly I'd vote for the removal of this thread.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_14q7l6m", "post_id": "14q7l6m", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/RedPillWomen/comments/14nls1a/seeking_advice_on_multiple_wives/jql0jre/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/14q7l6m/in_a_rant_about_polygamy_in_islam/", "post_created_utc": 1688453897, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "jqlvszy", "answer_comment_name": "t1_jqlvszy", "answer_score": 59, "answer_created_utc": 1688456288}}

Taking a methodical eye towards our beliefs and evaluating them with evidence is responsible and good. Sussing out the claims in a TV diet advertisement, or whether that one weird trick is all that weird or all that effective, or whether the member of the Nigerian royal family who is eager to form a business partnership... it can be healthy to be skeptical.\n\nWe need electrolytes in our diet.

At some point we rely on someone else. We drive cars we didn't build on roads we didn't design over bridges we don't stop and test before relying on them.\n\nWe don't check our front yard for landmines every morning, or do DNA checks on our family members at each gathering to make sure we're related and haven't been replaced with imposters.\n\nAt a certain point, we have to trust.\n\nThere is a difference between questioning a statement from a random politician, and explaining at length why NASA is a massive multi-decade conspiracy and that a corps of \"citizen-scientists\" have proved that the earth is continuously flat and if you question that or disagree you're just blind and have been too indoctrinated need to take the red pill and understand how things truly are.\n\nBut if you ask how the GPS on the cell phone they use works, \"that's not important right now.\"\n\nOr if you mention the space program, it turns out we never landed on the moon (or all those other times), and the space shuttle, ISS, and beyond are just part of the same lies.\n\nSo yes, everything can be scrutinized, but there are limits to how far I want to go with that:\n- I enjoy discussing current events with my friends, I don't want to spend our time litigating the proofs of Sandy Hook.\n\n- I love history, I don't want to spend limited time revisiting whether Thomas Jefferson actually existed.\n\n- I enjoy biology and science, but sincerely debating the possible existence of secret lizard people is not fulfilling.\n\n- And oh do I love science - but taking hours to debate whether the earth actually revolves around the sun or if it's the other way around feels like a massive waste of time and energy.\n\nThere can be a fun conversation to be had - \"Okay, you get zapped back in time two thousand years ago and it's your job to convince civilization that the Earth is round. What do you do?\"\n\nBut this is different. With my loved one, everything becomes part of a greater manipulation, conspiracy. It continues to expand, for nefarious and nebulous purposes. They are so enthusiastic to share their knowledge, with delight in holding my attention as they lay out the many things they know.\n\nAnd I miss the person talking to me, when their zeal was focused on music or art, or relationships with friends, or even science and tech but in a healthier way.

I have bills and could not in any way save the amount needed to fly home.\nI was informed that I was going to get 3 weeks of baby leave starting on the day my baby is born, and get the rest of it on the back end after the deployment. A month prior to leaving I talked to SFC (we will call him chad) and what I had learned is I was okay to buy my plane ticket and I had asked him if it’s fine if I had bought a one way ticket and he said yes because the army was doing rotator flights. I said okay, now I could not afford this plane ticket so thankfully my wife’s grand parents said they would cover it and I paid for it. A week after I had purchased the plane ticket SFC (we will call him bill)  I talked to and he had informed me that the last rotator flight leaves august 3rd so I’m not expecting you to buy another plane ticket to come back and you will just report to rear d and we’ll deal with the higher ups when it comes to it. Now a week prior to flying out I get told by SFC (we’ll call him hawk) to see him after work. I’m in my room and his room mate sgt (call him cory) comes in and asks if I have a return flight I tell him no because I was told originally not to buy one. He leaves for a few minutes then comes back and says let’s go and So he pulls me into SFC Hawks room. SFC Hawk asks me do you have any way of paying for a flight back and I told him no I was told a rotator flight would take me back. So he said I had a few options he would try to work with a class a flight and get me a cheaper flight back or we would have to talk to AER (Army emergency relief) and have them grant me a loan to fly back. If we can’t figure it out you cannot go home to see the birth of your child. I was petrified when I had heard this, I felt like I was having an anxiety attack.

How far we’ve come in 200 years. Since the ‘Middle Ages’. \n\nScientists speak of a turning point, a climate impact shift, but the bulk of the population assumes that since our existence is still relatively young we must have more time. This turning point cannot be for 100, 200 years. \n\nThen we realize, humans have been living socially, and intelligently, for 500,000 years. Say what? Yes. Our study of human history, as diligent as it may be, only maps out the last 2,000 years intimately, or 5,000 years at best. \n\nThink about that. All that detail (I am a graduate history student, not that that means a lot, but just to demonstrate why my puny mind is blown) in the last 2,000 years. All the unrest, upheaval, strife. And yet, humans have been living socially in planned habitation for five hundred thousand years. 😳 \n\nAnd so yes, as “advanced” as we are now, within the last 70 years in particular, we still do not know our own history. Which frankly should matter more to us than conceptualizations of where we are going. And yet it does not. \n\nPopular culture today focuses on youth, upcoming trends, and where we are headed. \n\nVery little time is spent wondering at our beginnings. \n\nBut of course they were humble. If humanity was building structures half a million years ago, we have been living in relative peace and harmony with the natural environment (or at its mercy at least) for hundreds of thousands of years. \n\nIt is only recently, then, as has been only recently proven by science, that humanity has charted this modern course of the rise and fall of civilizations. The last 10,000 years of human history is but a fraction of the last 500,000 years. \n\nAnd so, as things heat up in this last 200 years post-industrialization, we have considered ourselves new and above a thorough browbeating my Mother Nature. That is centuries, if not millennia, off. \n\nNo. Social humans have been living in harmony with the earth for eons. And we have now entered an interesting period, where we can scout out potential threats and develop an encyclopedia of coping strategies and yet fail to do what is necessary to protect the earth from ourselves. \n\nThis is not a doomsday scenario. This is today. This is now. This is the predicament of modern society. \n\nWell educated peaceful scientists measure the ice each year in Antarctica. And this Fall, 2023, the levels were found to be shockingly low, breaking any boundary previously set in the past. \n\nWithout an ice field reflecting the sun’s heat back into the atmosphere, the earth and ocean absorb more heat. Does a turning point sound familiar? \n\nWe arrogantly assume we have decades, centuries, to turn things around. Little do we understand the fragility of nature hanging in the balance of our wars, our technological advancements, our progress, our debt. \n\nMark my words: focusing on social issues will be our death. Do you think that trans rights, border crossings, illegitimate workers, matter? \n\nSure they do, but fighting about it when we should be putting energy into what really matters, namely providing a world which is liveable for our children’s children’s children, is unfortunate. \n\nThe only thing that matters is our children. No matter who you are, black, white, purple, green, left, right-leaning, all of these people (namely humanity) would prioritize the health and well-being of their children over any social disturbances. \n\nPlaying up divides in our global society is breaking us. Funding military efforts is bankrupting us. The US debt is in excess of $33 trillion this year. Who even knows how much money that is? How will it be paid back? What are people in 50 years supposed to do about that? \n\nThe world looks a lot different now than it did in 1970. \n\nThe death of humanity continues to be advanced by militarism, division, and social debate. \n\nThe at this point shred of hope in our longevity will be propelled by cooperative living, pooling resources, and anti-luxury/re-use and recycle lifestyles. \n\nThe sad thing is that many already and always have been living like this. It is this hard crust which lies on top, dominating the media and spreading this popularity and expectation for “luxury” goods/travel/lifestyle/clothing which is dragging us under. \n\nThrow out the newspapers. Reuse every damn thing you can. Fuck luxury and “exclusive” clothing. He like the depression-era grandparents you still know about and secretly idolize in your heart of hearts, passed down from your own parents. \n\nEschew this culture of wealth and idolization of “the haves”.

How far we’ve come in since the renaissance, industrialization. Since the ‘Middle Ages’. \n\nScientists speak of a turning point, a climate impact shift, but the bulk of the population assumes that since our existence is still relatively young we must have more time. This turning point cannot be for a century or two at least.\n\nThen we realize, humans have been living socially, and intelligently, for 500,000 years. Say what? Yes. Our study of human history, as diligent as it may be, only maps out the last 2,000 years intimately, or 5,000 years at best. \n\nThink about that. All that detail (I am a graduate history student, not that that means a lot, but just to demonstrate why my puny mind is blown) in the last 2,000 years. All the unrest, upheaval, strife. And yet, humans have been living socially in planned habitation for five hundred thousand years. 😳 \n\nAnd so yes, as “advanced” as we are now, within the last 70 years in particular, we still do not know our own history. Which frankly should matter more to us than conceptualizations of where we are going. And yet it does not. \n\nPopular culture today focuses on youth, upcoming trends, and where we are headed. \n\nVery little time is spent wondering at our beginnings. \n\nBut of course they were humble. If humanity was building structures half a million years ago, we have been living in relative peace and harmony with the natural environment (or at its mercy at least) for hundreds of thousands of years. \n\nIt is only recently, then, as has been only recently proven by science, that humanity has charted this modern course of the rise and fall of civilizations. The last 10,000 years of human history is but a fraction of the last 500,000 years. \n\nAnd so, as things heat up in this last 200 years post-industrialization, we have considered ourselves new and above a thorough browbeating my Mother Nature. That is centuries, if not millennia, off. \n\nNo. Social humans have been living in harmony with the earth for eons. And we have now entered an interesting period, where we can scout out potential threats and develop an encyclopedia of coping strategies and yet fail to do what is necessary to protect the earth from ourselves. \n\nThis is not a doomsday scenario. This is today. This is now. This is the predicament of modern society. \n\nWell educated peaceful scientists measure the ice flows each year in Antarctica. And this Fall, 2023, the levels were found to be shockingly low, breaking any boundary previously set in recorded history. \n\nWithout an ice field reflecting the sun’s heat back into the atmosphere, the earth and ocean absorb more heat. Does a turning point sound familiar? \n\nWe arrogantly assume we have decades, centuries, to turn things around. Little do we understand the fragility of nature hanging in the balance of our wars, our technological advancements, our progress, our debt. \n\nMark my words: focusing on social issues will be our death. Do you think that trans rights, border crossings, illegitimate workers, matter? \n\nSure they do, but fighting about it when we should be putting energy into what really matters, namely providing a world which is liveable for our children’s children’s children, is unfortunate. \n\nThe only thing that matters is our children. No matter who you are, black, white, purple, green, left, right-leaning, all of these people (namely humanity) would prioritize the health and well-being of their children over any social disturbances. \n\nPlaying up divides in our global society is breaking us. Funding military efforts is bankrupting us. The US debt is in excess of $33 trillion this year. Who even knows how much money that is? How will it be paid back? What are people in 50 years supposed to do about that? \n\nThe world looks a lot different now than it did in 1970. \n\nThe death of humanity continues to be advanced by militarism, division, and social division. \n\nThe at this point shred of hope in our longevity will be propelled by cooperative living, pooling resources, and anti-luxury/re-use and recycle lifestyles. \n\nThe sad thing is that many already and always have been living like this. It is this hardened crust which lies on top, dominating the media and spreading this popularity and expectation for “luxury” goods/travel/lifestyle/clothing which is dragging us under. \n\nThrow out the newspapers. Reuse every damn thing you can. Fuck luxury and “exclusive” clothing. Be like the depression-era grandparents you still know and secretly idolize in your heart of hearts, passed down from your own parents. \n\nEschew this culture of wealth and idolization of “the haves”. They might be beautiful on the outside, but beneath their silicone veneer they are hollow and plastic. They have nothing to offer other than product placement.\n\nAnd we’re going to need a lot more than that to get us through the next 200 years.", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "k1oxyar", "answer_comment_name": "t1_k1oxyar", "answer_score": 1, "answer_created_utc": 1695377633}}

{"question_title": "/u/PM_YOUR_ISSUES explains how everything in US politics today is mirroring the build up of the Nazis in 1930 Germany", "body": "There are some worrying parallels, but this post ignores a lot of major differences. The biggest was the very real possibility of Germany becoming communist. Germany was long regarded as the center of international communism and the KPD launched a failed uprising following defeat in WWI.\n\n​\n\nAlthough the Spartacist uprising was put down, the KPD remained massively popular at the ballot box and German elites were terrified at the prospect of a bolshevik revolution. Meanwhile Hitler and his beer hall putsch didn't seem like a real threat to the established order. As political violence broke out the decision to support the right was a foregone conclusion.\n\n​\n\nThe KPD didn't take the Nazis seriously either. As orthodox Marxists, they believed that agrarian societies inevitably evolved into capitalism and then into communism. The biggest threat was the SPD, whose social democrat policies kept the proletariat compliant and forestalled true revolution. The KPD rejected a united front with the SPD after the massive Nazi gains in the 1930 elections and KPD president Ernst Thälmann adopted the slogan \"After Hitler, our turn!\". He would instead be shot at Buchenwald.\n\n​\n\nThe United States simply doesn't have a meaningful communist movement. Our industrialists don't fear the excesses of the Russian Civil War or even peaceful nationalization of their businesses. They want to keep things basically how they are and see Trump as a dangerous destabilizer. Biden and Hillary both got more superPAC money than Trump did. The small leftist movement that we do have has also wised up to the dangers of fascism.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_17q11jz", "post_id": "17q11jz", "post_url": "https://old.reddit.com/r/news/comments/17ptynf/moms_for_liberty_member_demands_florida/k884aue/", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/17q11jz/upm_your_issues_explains_how_everything_in_us/", "post_created_utc": 1699382198, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "k8aqdbu", "answer_comment_name": "t1_k8aqdbu", "answer_score": 89, "answer_created_utc": 1699406765}}
{"question_title": "u/just_a_person_maybe explains the difference between different kids of buttercream frosting", "body": "Buttercream frosting is a type of frosting made with butter as the main ingredient. There are several different types of buttercream frosting, each with its own distinct characteristics.\n\n1. American Buttercream: This type of buttercream is the simplest and most common. It is made by beating together butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a small amount of milk or cream. American buttercream is sweet, rich, and has a thick consistency. It is great for spreading and piping decorations.\n\n2. Swiss Meringue Buttercream: Swiss meringue buttercream is made by whisking together egg whites and sugar over a double boiler until it reaches a certain temperature. Then, the mixture is whipped until fluffy and butter is gradually added. Swiss meringue buttercream is smoother and less sweet than American buttercream. It has a silky texture and is often used for filling cakes and cupcakes.\n\n3. Italian Meringue Buttercream: Similar to Swiss meringue buttercream, Italian meringue buttercream is made by heating egg whites and sugar syrup. However, in this case, the sugar syrup is cooked separately and then gradually added to the egg whites while beating. Italian meringue buttercream is light, fluffy, and less sweet than American buttercream. It is commonly used for layering and frosting cakes.\n\n4. French Buttercream: French buttercream is made by whisking together egg yolks and sugar syrup until thick and creamy. Then, softened butter is gradually incorporated into the mixture. French buttercream is velvety smooth, creamy, and has a rich flavor. It is great for filling and frosting cakes.\n\nEach type of buttercream frosting has its own unique qualities, so the choice depends on personal preference and the desired result.

Yes, they are testing foods with differing levels of ingredient qualities, but they are specifically looking at how consumers react to those ingredients. Quality testing would be performing chemical tests to measure how oxidized each oil sample is. \n\nThat said, consumer testing is extremely important in the food industry. A few years ago, Panda Express was considering changing their chicken supplier for the US. They performed sensory testing to determine whether or not consumers would be able to detect a difference between the two suppliers. This was important because they didn't want there to be a detectable difference. The food has to reliably taste the same every time you eat it.\n\nNotably too, consumer taste testing usually are difference tests or preference tests. Difference tests can be along the lines of presenting three samples and asking the taster to choose which one is different than the other two. Preference tests can be choosing your favorite, ranking samples, or scoring them on a 9-point scale. There is a different set of sensory tests that you can do with a trained panel. These tests are usually about scoring a food on different attributes, after the panelists have been trained to detect and rate those attributes similarly and consistently.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_1amsbdt", "post_id": "1amsbdt", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1amhqvu/what_industry_secret_do_you_know_that_most_people/kpnk5m0/?context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/1amsbdt/udubious_titan_explains_food_ingredient_quality/", "post_created_utc": 1707496691, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "kpqfxvt", "answer_comment_name": "t1_kpqfxvt", "answer_score": 15, "answer_created_utc": 1707535111}}

When I put the anesthesia into their little bath so I could euthanize them, the lampreys wriggled and fought *like hell*. They thrashed around and often would try to propel themselves out of the water to escape. Sort of like how a human who is on fire would dunk themselves into water to douse the flames. An action which is normally illogical, but in this case necessary to protect one's self from harm.\n\n\nTo me, that makes their ability (or lack thereof) to feel pain immaterial.

{"question_title": "Silversmith describes how rings are resized", "body": "There are a lot of things wrong here! [This reply](https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/1bqmeda/request_my_gf_ring_size/kx4rhm3/) goes over some of it, but I'm gonna be more thorough.\n\n> The question of if the resizing will be free is not as important as if you can even resize the type of ring you pick out. Some cannot be.\n> \n> Firstly a ring can only go up two sizes or down two sizes as a general rule of thumb. And also depends on how complicated the band is. If there’s a pattern on it you cannot. I have a gorgeous art deco ring with roses in on it and if I heated that up the sharpness of the design could be dulled or outright disappear. If it’s just plain rounded or squared off slick metal you’re good.\n\nThe two size limit part is just plain wrong. I have no idea where that came from.\n\nThe vast, VAST majority of rings with patterns can be sized just fine. Many will have a little blank spot on the underside specifically for sizing, but even if they don't, its usually possible to or recreate the pattern or break it in a way that seems natural.\n\nAlso, heating a ring to soldering temperatures will not significantly degrade any details. It can affect the finish/polish, which can mean a little extra work, but its not exactly insurmountable. Welders also exist, which barely heat up the bulk of the material at all.\n\n> In order to have a ring sized all of the stones have to be removed from it. You are heating up the metal and either melting in a new piece or removing a piece and melting it closed again. This often risks damaging the stone so it is just procedure that they are taken out.\n\nJust not true. Many stones can be left in with absolutely no danger, others can be soldered with the stones submerged in water to protect them, and in the worst case you can just weld it. There have been a couple niche circumstances where I've removed a stone for sizing, but its very rare.\n\n> Rings that have a single stone (or just a few but are all still in prongs) are easy enough to resize though sometimes the prongs have to get redone because they’re so tiny and thin they can melt while you’ve got the heat up so high to get the thicker band heated. Not usually but it happens. Also prongs are the little tiny metal pieces/fingers that grip in the diamond.\n\nIf you have the heat directly on any prongs while sizing a ring then something has gone very wrong! This can be a concern if you're assembling a new piece or adding a head to an existing piece, but there are ways around it. Sounds like a skill issue.\n\n> There are some bands that have a lot of really tiny stones inlaid in them and aren’t to get held together by the little prongs-I personally don’t mess with those because the chances of you getting all of those out unscratched and back in that setting without it melting it are slim.\n\nJust the implication that anyone would even consider removing pavé set stones to do a routine sizing is wild. There are some rings like this that I've turned away, but only when the stones are set poorly enough that a bunch would fall out.\n\n> So yes depending on the ring size it can be done and most jewelers will offer this when you are paying the crazy premium for an engagement ring. I also know some jewelers will just switch it out to other size after holding onto it for a week. The rings in jewelry shops that are made today are extremely overpriced molded pieces. It’s way quicker to make those rings in a jewelry shop than what I make by hand in my shop. But I charge like like 10% of what a jewelry store does.\n\nHonestly yeah. Find a small local shop that does work in house if you're looking to buy jewelry. Chain stores, online stores and department stores carry a lot of absolute bullshit.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_1bqtrvs", "post_id": "1bqtrvs", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/1bqmeda/comment/kx47fh6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/1bqtrvs/silversmith_describes_how_rings_are_resized/", "post_created_utc": 1711730386, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "kx649bl", "answer_comment_name": "t1_kx649bl", "answer_score": 27, "answer_created_utc": 1711749527}}

{"question_title": "/u/CaptainPants27 shares some little-known facts about everyone’s first MySpace friend, Tom", "body": "In case the comments ever get deleted:\n\n>Some fun facts, take them or leave them about Tom:\n>\n>Tom was not the sole owner or creator of MySpace, he did not receive $580 million himself. He was chosen as the face of MySpace because everyone else behind the scenes in the owner group looked too executive douchey and not ‘friendly’ enough for the public (their collective decision, pretty self aware). \n>\n>When Fox bought MySpace, Tom had a lump sum of $50 million just sitting in a checking account because he couldn’t be bothered to do anything about it and didn’t really care. He had to be badgered by friends and colleagues to do something with it (he bought properties in Hawaii eventually). \n>\n>He drove two cars during his time at MySpace…both of them Jaguar XJ8’s, neither of which were bought new (upgraded to a Vandenplas edition for his second one though).\n>\n>He lived in a 2-bed apt in Studio City for most of his time there, even after he was making $7.5m/year after the buyout + the $50 mil lump. \n>\n>He almost never used his actual office, instead working off a computer in a small desk space near all the NOC crew. He worked all the time, almost always wearing a Von Dutch hat and a MySpace hoodie. He’s not flashy at all, he was at home with the engineers and QA folks, not with the executive leadership group. \n>\n>At industry parties, Tom would hang out with all the tech nerds shooting the shit, instead of rubbing elbows with celebs, who were constantly trying to get near him. I still remember Ashley Tisdale barging into our conference room to ask for a pic of him when we were having a meeting at MySpace music one day. \n>\n>Literally the only semi-dumb thing he really did was to crush on Tila Tequila so hard that MySpace as a company basically helped her to become a thing, despite her being a terrible artist and very questionable human being. \n>\n>Tom was and is legitimately a nice guy, more shy than outgoing, and really humble overall. It always was such a shocking comparison to see the personality difference between him and Mark Zuckerberg, effectively pretty similar in background, but Zuckerberg was just a smarmy, cringey sociopath while Tom was just a dude who wanted to make a place for people to express themselves and meet others with similar interests. \n>\n>The best part about MySpace is that it didn’t know what it was doing, other than to try and have fun and create cool shit people enjoyed. It was a tastemaker and the first real home on the internet for creatives. No nefarious data consolidation, creepy ad algorithms…it just floated on dumb Google search money until they pulled it. \n>\n>MySpace was a perfectly imperfect shitshow sandbox, an example of what the internet should have stayed as, and Tom was a perfect example of the types of people that were simply too nice to stick around the hellhole, cynical cesspools that became of social media. \n>\n>I don’t miss the stress of working there, but I have almost nothing but fond memories of my 5 years I put in during the golden age. Tons of amazing people, still surreal to look back on. I still rock my old MySpace hoodies too.", "metadata": {"source": "reddit", "subreddit": "DepthHub", "post_name": "t3_1e1cfc9", "post_id": "1e1cfc9", "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s/etpiygkIaQ", "post_permalink": "/r/DepthHub/comments/1e1cfc9/ucaptainpants27_shares_some_littleknown_facts/", "post_created_utc": 1720772519, "question_selftext": "", "is_self": false, "answer_comment_id": "lcyeb8d", "answer_comment_name": "t1_lcyeb8d", "answer_score": 6, "answer_created_utc": 1720851667}}

While efficient, the automation of job applications raises questions about the very nature of professional relationships. We face a paradox: as we seek to optimize the selection process, we risk losing the human element that often makes a difference in a work environment. The challenge ahead is not just technological, but also ethical and social. We'll need to find a delicate balance between the efficiency of artificial intelligence and the richness of human interactions. Only then can we build a future of work that is not just productive, but also fulfilling and meaningful for everyone.\n\n# Want to Try This Magic?\n\nHere's what it does:\n\n* Enter your professional background\n* It generates tailored CVs, cover letters, and responses\n* Sends hundreds of applications while you enjoy a coffee\n\nCurious?
