"Correlation does not imply causation, but a lack of correlation does suggest (not prove, but suggest) a lack of causation."

I don't think it's any stronger one way or the other. Correlation does not imply causation; it may suggest it, but there may be confounders. And lack of correlation does not imply lack of causation, because there may be confounders that mask results that would suggest causation.

Showing causation is hard and usually takes careful design of experiment with very good controls to eliminate any potential confounders, something that is not present in retrospective studies.

I've never been able to correctly spell every word in an essay I've ever handed in. It's not impossible to correct this but when I correct this the rest of my writing style will not change. One of the assignments in the CS track at my college is text analysis. From extremely basic identifies you can tell approximately who wrote some text. Even just by counting "a" and "an" you can discern the author.

Unfortunately some people don't seem to understand that there is a correlation between vocabulary, work flow, word choice, and the writer.

If they only were as much available to buy as much people talk about them. I never used it before, I tried, I loved it, I researched a lot, I've finally chosen one ... and only got disappointed by availability. They're nowhere to be in stock.

Of course we were puzzled by CloudFlare's pricing structure. However, all of their advertising material kept reiterating that they were making money off low-tier customers by collecting lots of data required to properly serve their business and enterprise customers. So our sense of alarm and disbelief was somewhat suspended until CF contacted us about our bandwidth consumption, but even then we didn't realize how much trouble we were facing, as they first told us that a $1k subscription would do the trick.

Watching competing projects also added some degree of assurance. Without giving out any specific names, we are aware of a number of competing projects that even now keep heavily relying on CloudFlare (although I am obviously unaware of how much they pay), so we didn't consider it an abusive behavior. In contrast, we were also aware of at least one competitor that kept pushing a considerable portion of their uploads to imgur and basically parasitizing on them for a long time until imgur's abuse team finally took notice and brought down the hammer.

I believe GP is referring to Islam, not Arabs. Islam is responsible for none of the things you mentioned.
For rebase I can never figure out what should go in all its parameters. It has defaults sure, that are impossible to figure out either.

With cherry-pick you have no parameters and no defaults, it's basically cp <commit> . for SCM.
It cuts both ways, though. Do religious people get to keep Reverend George Lemaître and friar Gregor Mendel's [2] contributions, namely, the theory of the Big Bang and early genetics?

Religion and science are not opposed. Claiming otherwise comes, at the very least, as not well informed.

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre

[2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregor_Mendel
Note that GP asked about Islam and you're answering about the Islamic world. One can wonder if those things you mentioned are really rooted in religion, or were just invented in territories were there happened to be a prevailing religion.

As an analogy, I wonder if it would be accurate to say that electricity was brought by a given religion even though some of its most major developments happened in territories where that religion prevails.
Germany has a weird way of integrating its religious institutions: The state collects taxes for the churches.

With muslim guestworkers arriving in the 50's it was clear that theses guests weren't staying for long and subsequently a) muslim religious institutions weren't (for a long time) included in this "state-collects-the-moneys"-Scheme and b) thus it was welcomed that they'd be financed and run by foreign institutions.

In the result you typically have mosques that are either exclusive on grounds of ethnicity (eg the mosques run by the turkish state)* or inclusive on grounds of the interpretation of islam (sadly the Saudi funded radicalist ones are very inclusive).

* since interpretation often is a cause of dispute within regions you can have more inclusive interpretations like the Alavites that are usually ethnically homogenic.

Charging a fee for appropriating natural resources can be fully justified, but whether a fee is charged comes down to practicality.

Example: it's not practical to charge every individual camper a fee for every piece of obsidian they find. While scarce, the amount of obsidian they stand to find and take is so small, that the cost of enforcing the tax would far exceed the cost to society of them depriving us of the natural resource. Moreover, the amount they're taking is so small that the actual fee they would have to pay society to compensate it for the appropriation of this natural resource would be close to zero.

>What resources are not scarce in your view? If a forest is unclaimed and then I should be allowed to claim and cut it to produce valuable furniture and keep all the profit to me. Noting available on this earth is unlimited or free.

You should have to pay society for the value of the trees you're cutting down, and the cost you're incurring upon society through the harm the tree-cutting does to the rest of the forest. Society is also fully within its rights to reserve some areas of the forest to maintain the ecosystem.

>Universal Principal is progressive taxation, and tax rate is determined by scale of operation.

There is no universal principle behind an income tax. You yourself said it doesn't apply to petty transactions involving me trading a clay figurine for sea shells. It's not universal. It's arbitrary gouging of those with the most to tax.

>An individual making furniture out of unclaimed wood cannot be compared to an industrial scale operation resulting in deforestation and they cannot be taxed on the same rate.

Morally there's no qualitative difference. 1 billion individual furniture makers cutting down 1 tree each does exactly the same amount of damage as one company cutting down 1 billion trees. It's the natural resources that should be taxed, not the people.

>Ok what this hypothetical machine is going to produce?

This hypothetical machine produces information. It's a computer. It sells computations. It is powered by solar panels that are on land that I'm renting from the government.

I've paid for the cost of the natural resources I'm using (iron ore and sunlight I'm using up). The iron ore and energy is legitimately mine. You have no right to the value I generate using these inputs.
Didn't anyone review this prior to publication? There are so many typing errors that I can't take the text seriously.
A small tip which can help when typing with mechanical key switches: you don't need to bottom them out. Most barely have to travel 1/3 the total distance they are capable of traveling.

If you can learn to type on one without bottoming out, you will notice the same speed increases, as well as greater comfort while typing. Be forewarned: bottoming out is a hard habit to break.

Forming a government is going to be especially tricky. The government collapsed due to corruption revealed by the Panama Papers.

The previously governing parties are the Independence Party & Progressive Party, both of whom had ministers exposed by the papers.

They don't have enough of a following to form a government on their own.

The Left-Green Movement & Pirate Party say it's out of the question to be in government with those two.

The new Regeneration party, which is a new party which split off from the Independence Party. They don't want a coalition with the governing parties.

Negotiations are actively under way, the Regeneration party is in a key negotiating position.
As you said, It might be racism, however I think people use the "racism" card too quickly to explain what might actually be a dumb/lazy/antisocial teacher.

My related experience anecdote was as a 2nd or 3rd grader. I made some poem as a class project and had the line "in some foggy old latrine" and my teacher accused me of making up the word "latrine" and refused to believe me when I said it was a military toilet. (I wasn't some super literary, I just heard the word used enough on the tv show MASH)

So frustrating and hurtful to be accused like that, but I am pretty sure it wasn't racism. Just a clueless teacher who reacted the wrong way.

Oh please, Apple has never gone after a user for making a Hackintosh for themselves.

Contract law, due to the user not abiding by the license agreement, is more relevant than copyright infringement. Apple gives the OS away freely and there's no copying act that you do for yourself that would be infringing (e.g. copy the OS to a Mackintosh's drive and you're still okay), it's only the use of the OS which is a problem and that's not a copyright problem, it's a license problem.

Unreadable due to the moronic 140 character muzzle the ignoramuses at twitter devised. Such cutting edge technology must have gone into limiting that text field. God I hate that company and that website. Twitter is the worst idea of this decade and future mankind will laugh at it the same way we now laugh at the "pet rock" toy of the 1970s.

Twitter could have EASILY made it a "click to see full text" thing and then it would show only 140ch still (to keep everyone enamored with it) and yet allow full discussions to happen in over 140ch for all who chose to use it in that "more advanced" way. It's such an obvious evolution of the technology to allow more text, but they just don't have the courage to change something that's so popular. They are simply stuck and unable to innovate. No wonder no one wanted to buy them. I hope they go under soon. A better commodity technology like my own meta64.com will eventually provide this kind of 'service' for mankind.
I actually switched to Hackintoshes from Linux PCs because the upgrade/install process is less painful. Used Ubuntu and Arch in the past, tinkering with the system was almost a daily thing.

Agreed.

And another good example are the horrible 'mobile' styles for forum scripts and wikis.

Look at the SMF one for example. Or the similar one used on Proboards. On mobile devices, you literally can't tell simple stats like what topics have been recently posted in, which members are online or what the last post was in a section. In other words, all the basic things that make a community usable.

But hey, it looks clean, right?

Media Wiki is even worse. On mobile, you can't see any talk page links, any edit histories or any category lists/infoboxes for articles. So if you don't want to search everything or follow random links in articles, then you have no simple way to browse the site or keep up with what's going on in the community.

Taking away useful information and features like this doesn't make the site easier to use, it makes it more annoying. It makes it simpler for random 'guests' while making it more difficult for anyone who actually uses a site or service on a regular basis.
If you must turn "The Pirate Party" into an acronym just use "PP", this use of "TPP" is highly confusing, since nobody uses it for the Pirate Party, and it's easily confused with the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

In case others are inspired by the Seattle example: you should know that their $15 minimum wage experiment was not a result of technocratic liberalism.

It was a political fight by self-conscious socialists working in conjunction with SEIU fast food workers.

Winning that fight required a combination of "outside" activism, and "inside" political campaigning. The organization involved (Socialist Alternative) actually was able to get a member named Kshama Sawant onto city council. Like many cities, Seattle is Democrat dominated, who totally opposed $15 until they were forced to vote on it in public.

Like so many critical political issues, the institutional technocrats will not initiate working class reforms. They must be imposed from below, with working class people organizing themselves.

What they're saying is that this is probably not a societal trend, as you put it. In my anecdotal experience people are doing less and less pre-programmed tours and a lot more of exploration and going off-trail because of all the information we have at our disposal.
In practice SIM cards don't give you much physical security anyway.

I transferred my mobile phone number etc over to a new SIM card the other week and all I needed was name, address, DOB and proof of ID... of course my network didnt have any of these on file yet, so I had to first tell them these details, and then show ID to verify that I was who I had just told them that I should be. Yeah... this is the state of consumer mobile security.

None of this required physical access to the phone, I just had to login to their website, with a username and password, and change my details.

On most networks you can steal someones mobile number with just a few minutes of physical access and a bit of planning.
That's simply it. Mercator won mindshare because it was most useful for people who needed maps to do their jobs. If I'm setting a course for some destination I don't really care what the land area of Greenland is, I want to know the correct heading.

These are physical distinctions which matter.

Modern science came out from the desire to understand and explain the world around us.
Science as we know it is the structured pursuit of knowledge, mostly through organized institutions. In the western tradition, those institutions grew out of the Catholic Church. It was a logical outgrowth--the Church provided a ready-made organizational framework and a profession (the priesthood) whose job it was to sit around and think about things. If you had to point at a profession that comes closest to being what "scientist" grew out of--it'd be the clergy.

Galileo studied at the University of Pisa, which was created by Papal edict. He wanted to enter the priesthood when he was young.
