This comes up every time someone wants to give the death penalty for rape.

If the punishment for rape is harsher than the punishment for murder than anyone committing it may as well remove the evidence by using a blender.

We have human teachers for much the same reasons.

Are humans just other humans hiding in boxes pretending to play chess?

Other than sugar none of those are spices used for food.

And even sugar became much less commonly used to in Europe.

The wildest thing about European colonialism is that it was kicked off to get more spices for European food. Then in the worlds most bizarre twist European food gave up all spices a few centuries later and colonies had to invent something else to sell back to the colonial centre.

That's the third major use of the printing press.

The first was for catholic indulgences.

The second was for religious propaganda during the European wars of religion.

Ironically Linux with KDE is very good for being both pixel perfect, responsive and enjoyable to work with.

What a time to be alive.

It's not a product. It's business core competency in the ml space.

Data is king. Even when a new better model comes along a high quality dataset is still just as valuable.

Britain had two parliaments in the home island - Scotlands and Englands.

The only people who can possibly think the British empire was centralised are those who have never opened a history book about it.

I suggest you look up how much raising children costs today vs the 1980s in both money and time.

California has half the population of Germany and twice the GPD.

We can't pretend the US is some dinky country in Europe that can be ruled the same way.

What works for a country the size of a New York neighbourhood doesn't work for a country the size of a continent.

It's not terribly interesting. There have always been two strains of thought for the Democrats in the US. Once has been that we must move the whole country in the right direction kicking and screaming - this has been the ideology that has been in ascendency since Kennedy. The other that we must be allowed to be as progressive as possible without interference from the Federal government. That's not been in vouge since the end of the new deal.

I'm completely in the second camp and would move back to the US if it were possible to get it adopted at the national level.
