If a war against communications facilities were to break out, the scope of disruption would be such as to put us not far out of the Stone Age. The fragile glass network must seem very exposed to military planners; one imagines that contingency plans are always being drawn up and gamed out - likely at this very moment.

Good teachers try to teach their students to think. Every teacher understands that for teaching to succeed 2 conditions must be met: 1) the pupil must come to the teacher with a desire to learn, and 2) There must be an exchange of value; the teacher must receive some kind of compensation. If that helps.

Ohh... won't that just make America's enemies dig their toes in? does the human race think it's going to battle with itself for eternity?

We expect software to be updated with improvements to its functionality, whereas a novel is non-functional. (I'm not quite sure what non-functional means...)

My other reply is that A/B testing might be said to be accomplished in consultation with an editor.

Thank you for suggesting that literature could be updated with improvements. <3 :) <3

I've seen an adolescent bush stone curlew with no prospects of a mate going absolutely crazy, all by himself, running and swerving and generally behaving like a sexually frustrated teenager

So much is in the domain of Captain Obvious. It's also true that both sides must want war for war to occur at all.

Your remark is so bleak, my brother, how can I help you?

Don't worry, manufacture tinfoil hats okay?

Yes and there are plenty of reasons for people to criticise me, too, but I'll nevertheless throw my infinitesimal weight behind Joni Mitchell and Neil Young to agree that covid19 misinformation must be discredited.

You've never seen a giant Tesla coil in operation have you? Believe me when you do you'll understand that you can absolutely not put such things into a public space like a science fair. They are very scary and definitely lethal.

In satori I have been conscious of a usually unnoticed "time" which is certainly orthogonal to the "time" of daily reality. In such moments I see that the creation of the observable cosmos (the Firmament) is continuous in what I shall now call imaginary time; the whole course and history of our cosmos is created at once. I have also seen that the Firmament arises from the Void (which is formless; which seethes with potential) through the desire of the Void to be like the beautiful Light, which is the light in the eyes of the Creator, whose nature is Love.

But why publish this in HN, unless it's meant as an object lesson in poor experimental design.

Once, I tried teaching math to homeschoolers after a smoke. Nope, and never again. Doesn't exactly help programming either.

This is a weird article? First the headline - what does it mean? Then the illogical notion that antibiotic resistance causes death. What kind of thinking is this? Bacteria cause illness and death - you can't blame it on ineffective antibiotics. The article is piffle.
