>It's amazing how easy it is to get the majority of people to completely shut down their critical thinking abilities. In this case, it only took 3 words.

One amusing thing I have noticed is that how fast all of the internet got converted into google catcha system which was originally supposed to convert books, but now a days just show traffic lights, cars, buses and fire hydrants. And no one, bats an eye. And even worse, still calls google the "good guy".

Do you know how many images it makes you click if you try to access it with a clean state?

over the air updates, like most things in marketing is a sign of incompetence, even they are marketed as a positive.

In reality it means that they the company is OK to ship broken/half baked stuff (owning to some kind of market pressure), because they can always fix it over the air.

When I see things like these, I always think. Oh look, another thing that will eventually get bought out.

I mean, I woulnd't want to depend on one of these things unless the people behind them has shown a enough defiance against the buying power of money.

>Parents can be rather selfish too, most can't wait until their kids turn 18 and leave the house. The want to live alone too.

This is the worst aspect of it. The hypocrisy! When I was young and naive, I believed parents loved to have the kids around. Oh boy. Don't they right? The only problem is that they want us still to be kids, and won't leave the household to you and let you live a full adult life there. If you are going to live with them, they want you to depend on them, and they want you to let them be the one who runs the house. All the sob stories you hear, when you are growing up, about kids leaving their parents won't tell you that side of the story.

So if you are a kid in the same situation, and have philosophical/ideological difference about how to life a human adult life, DO NOT PLAN ON living with your parents if objectively they don't need it. Don't do it becuase of some romantic notion of the "right thing" that the mainstream narrative has fed you. *ITS FUCKING BULLSHIT!"...

What a crappy article and an equally crappy title.

> Some days I would go to bed 3am, others I would sleep until 2pm.

There is your problem. Don't blame it on being remote. If you don't have the discipline, you will find that you ll hard time making a lot of things in life work..

>Can you suggest an environment conducive to life that isn't exposed to EM radiation? Life itself creates EM radiation.

There is nothing in the definition of "life" that warrants an ability to observe EM radiation or create it for that matter..By the way, what is the definition of "life" that you are using here?

>there are fundamental forces left to be discovered then they are not having any observable effect on the world..

So just because we haven't discovered something, does it mean that that thing is not observable at all? We are still discovering "things" in our own body, let alone in the entire world. The fallacy that human beings are capable of detecting every observable (by observable, I did not mean observable with our current tech) phenomena in this world is exactly what I was indicating before.

> nature of reality remains constant regardless of the data amassed.

It does not remain constant. But it remains indeterminable. Ie we can say we know something about the universe. But we cannot say we know x % of the universe simply because we have no way of knowing what 100% is...

> as long as we lived somewhere EM existed had a noticeable effect, which is just about everywhere.

You should have understood that I meant otherwise. Of course, if we could notice the effect of EM, that could trigger an investigation eventually leading to the discovery.

>we know our sensory understanding has sever limits...

Did you really think I implied that no one knows the limits of our built in senses? When I said sensory capabilities I meant the stuff we can sense, directly or indirectly (By indirectly, I mean by the help of another device, to make it very clear).

That is because we could "see" it. Imagine if we were not able to see. Could we have known the existence of EM?

Or think if we were not able to hear. Could we have imagined the sensation of sound, or the concept of music?

Human beings are so pathetically stupid that they think that their intelligence and sensory capability are at the limits of what is possible.

>. It's been done to death..

You are missing the point. I am not saying Php is crap for the people already who know it. I am saying Php is crap for people who are new to programming and don't know to stay away from Php yet...I thought I made it clear in the last comment.
