Comment not what *I* was taught (Score 3, Insightful) 72
One of the things my father (grade 6 education) beat into my head non-stop when I was growing up: "The only person you can't learn from is the one you don't talk to".
As Frame.io (video!) and OnShape (3D CAD!) show, there's almost no native PC application that can't be rebuilt as a web app.
I remember back in the day some guy writing a backward-chaining inference engine in a series of Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets. It took a few hours to come to the conclusion that 1 == 1, but what the hell.
Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you should.
Why do you feel a need to correct them?
Because they have an ASD disorder.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order, the way they should be.
Two Statements:
Ship owners are realizing bigger ships aren't better than smaller ships
Ship owners continue to prefer to buy bigger ships rather than smaller ships.
Consumers are realizing that energy drinks are bad for your health.
Consumers continue to prefer to buy more and more energy drinks rather than getting a good night's sleep.
Assuming we are talking about the same "ship owners", one of these two statements isn't true.
Even given your assumption, that's not true. It's called "cognitive dissonance"
One of them is an empirical statement which demonstrates ship owner revealed actual preferences and the other one is a quote from the piece's author which seems inline with their own expressed opinion about bigger ship=bad. Which one do you think is more likely to be accurate?
Again - not an issue. They can both be true.
The more you personally know about the details of a media story, usually the less accurate you'll think the story is.
And that statement is ABSOLUTELY true. You just chose a bad example.
This also applies to media stories you don't know as much about, just many people don't realize it when it's not slapping them in the face.
If possible, this is even more true than your last statement.
Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I know, ISIS didn't really exist before 2003 - so how would the Pentagon have been worried about them pre-2011?
Apologies to all. I misread the dates - this is why I shouldn't post before morning coffee.
Specifically, Assange revealed the leaked emails show that she overrode the Pentagon's reluctance to overthrow sovereign Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, and that "they predicted the post-war outcome would be what it is, which is ISIS taking over the country."
