That is really a description of Zen and spontaneous learning. Personally I've never experienced this phenomena...

I don't think it's the quality of notes that makes the difference but the act of taking them in a physical sense.

So optimal system for a better grade may be writing it by hand.

Optimal performance for producing a good course reference could be a spread sheet with tags erc

Usually not well lit, and easy to hide/escape/etc

But the facts don't reflect what you are saying.

Removal of guns from a society lowers total murders, it doesn't just move those murders to some other weapon/cause.

Look at Australia's crime statistics, or Canada, or Britain before and after serious gun control. They all show this to be true.

Is there any real difference?

Like a trigger is a leading mechanism, but it's the combustion that fires the bullet?

But there are families who clearly want revenge as well.

Revenge or resiprocity seems a pretty core part of the human condition.

Denmark doesn't exactly have the cultural baggage the US has.

There isn't a gun culture* (just picking one aspect) at all in Denmark, there is a rich culture in the US to the point that people think you are changing the identity of the country if you reform gun law. Stating that a progressive state that never had such problems can solve them has no meaning.

* guns would be the leading cause of homicide in the US.

Are you describing your own comment?

That's very meta!

I didn't say it doesn't work. I said it isn't necessary.

We aren't arguing whether coke tastes nice, we are arguing whether you need to drink it...

I think you need to reread my comments.

Because advertising is hall mark of quality?

You have astatement A and conclusion C but no B step.

Do people spend money without advertising?

I would say, yes they do. People have intrinsic wants and needs. Why would I so fulfilling them, because of a lack of extrinsic wants and needs?

Edit: also aren't you just trying to optimise to what is measured. GDP goes up, and that's beneficial because? Greenspan says so?

Because it doesn't.

These people wouldn't just hoard their money because there is no ad telling them what to buy...

They'd just be exercising their own agency, rather then cokes, or nikes.

You know if you didn't want the 100k loan, you could have gone to another university...?

You make being a privileged middle class kid seem like such a chore.

There is always someone better then you, and there id always someone who got what you did for less. But on the flip side, you are also the someone to someone else.

I think China is a good reminder that the word "migrant" is just newspeak, most countries use it to refer to people fromother countries, China use it for people from another city...

Is this just a true Scotsman fallacy?

The Apollo program would be a good counter example.

It is, like google is free.

Why is it framed as totalitarian and unfair when China do what the US has been doing since 2001?

But what is your measure of evil?

US invaded Iraq twice for oil, and had deployed missiles to all sorts of non sovereign land, that had upset is neighbours.

Literally a 1-1 comparison for both your examples.

If that is your measure for "evil government" please point out a "good" government.

Haven't you got the causation wrong? Isn't it the more educated people become the more left leaning they are? It's not the left captured academia, it's academia created the left.

Which law are you referring to?

Their watch is best in class IMO.

Different perspective Did apple just rip off Nokia with its "phone"?

You are saying it isn't my right to consume what I choose? Like is lynx an ad blocker, because it's text based?

What is the difference between lynx and an ad blocker?

Japan? The country that has in its constitution that it cannot hold an offensive military, nor take part in researching/developing offensive military technology... Which expert believes that?

Or do you mean historically? (Pre WWII)

I would hazard a guess that China's korean war "Human wave" tactics would be sufficient against Japan (assuming US was not also involved).

But HTML/Javscript is a moving target in itself. HTTP moves slower. So an HTML library is by it's nature going to have to move faster than an HTTP library.

So the reason China is horrible in 2016 is because of something it did in 1976?

The US had slavery, And attempted a genocide in their own country, can we count those things?

The balance of power is unchanged. China can project their power around their borders much better than the US.

Right so the significant military assets the US have in Taiwan, Korea, and Japan go completely unreported.

I'm wondering if it has been reported everytime the US has deployed some defensive missile batteries around the world... Pretty much US aircraft carriers have more fire power then these batteries. Do we report their movement as hard as this?

Like is this just agg-prop to some anti China sentiment?

... Let me guess, you are not Chinese.

I'm sorry, but isn't this just bigotry?

Why is China a thug of a government?
