As the Bataman said, "the world only makes sense when we force it to".
That's why we all morally obligated to track down evildoers and punch them in the balls. I'm pretty sure Thomas Jefferson wrote that, somewhere.

Yes, but you claiming that it must be cyclical to be truly organic... well, "No true Scotsman..." seems to apply.

You are co-opting the term organic to mean something extra.

Reddit was started as an experiment in free speech.

Wait, what?

I recall Alex coming on Slashdot a lot to promote Reddit when he first launched it. "An experiment in free speech" was not anything I recall being discussed. I also remember him posting on Slashdot while still developing reddit.

What I recall, is promotion of a general interest platform that was more open than Slashdot (unlimited moderations for all!) and less susceptible to vote brigading than Digg.

It was while ago, so I may be a bit foggy on the specifics.

I think what the Libertarians fail to realize is that farmers, as a general rule, are not smart enough to diversify or maintain course.

First, I think that's a ridiculous assertion. Smart farmers don't diversify because the taxpayers bear the risk of their crop failure, or of crashing prices; they have insufficient incentive to diversify.

Second, if we had a true free market, dumb farmers would go out of business and we would be left with smart farmers allocating resources efficiently. Isn't that the point of economic libertarianism?

Note: I am far from libertarian.

What do you mean by cyclical? Do you mean the livestock/fertilizer/crop/fodder cycle? Do you mean crop rotation? Or something else entirely?

Just curious, since I'm not aware of either cyclical production or crop rotation being a requirement for organic farming (although both are considered best practices).

ixnay on the pluterday talk, you'll get the 1%'s whining about class warfare again.

I live in an apartment building and there is no wiring in the parkade. Nor is there any requirement (or incentive) to retrofit the building.

Law in California says landlords can't refuse to allow you to install EV charging infrastructure. You'll have to foot the bill, but they can't say no:

Machine Learning System can detect X with such high accuracy and with so few false positives as to be actually useful.

Frankly detecting X is basically defined as getting better than random chance. If you decide that anybody who posts "I am so sad" is suicidal, you'll bound to get a few hits, so there. I developed an algorithm that can detect suicide and depression. The problem here is that it's useless unless it's really really accurate.

Long-distance electrodes shot into the pinion pituitary glands of recent dead.

He's been at it for years. Don't feed the troll.

wait, I thought that was one of the bells and whistles they were flogging with this.
So why does the pilot need to turn his head to see behind the plane? He shouldn't even need to set down his beer.

Although you can make a bong from an old toner cartridge, it's probably not a good idea.

A mutually beneficial exchange of electrons with a parallel universe with slightly different physical constants.

There was a time when people were very pronuclear, but the idiot motherfucking operators in Chernobyl and Fukishima fixed this problem.
TFTFY.

That's actually not the case with obese patients. It's only true for people who are, shall we say, chubby at most.
