Seems to be objective evidence that house prices in Canada, UK and Australia are overvalued, while house prices in US, Germany and Netherlands are not.
Ahh, I see, we were talking about different concepts of the multivese then. I'd consider your definition of multiverses still as part of our own universe, just not our observable universe. But I think this is more a question of definition...
Philosophy of science is very relevant and more difficult than ever. But you couldn't do philosophy of quantum mechanics before the science of quantum mechanics. When I say philosophy I mean metaphysics or in general attempts to explain the natural world. A lot of that has been made redundant by science. Not ethics.

Modern scientists don't usually like philosophy and don't write about this stuff from a philosophical point of view. It's more necessary than ever that philosophers get with the program. Pretending that science hasn't taken the lead in explaining the natural world won't help. People like Nick Bostrom who think about what science reveals do, even though he's probably hated in philosophy circles, like Daniel Dennett or Lawrence Krauss are.

I used to live in Adelaide. There's no way I could afford to buy a house anywhere I actually wanted to live.

Some out of the ordinary life circumstances arose, and I ended up moving to Launceston in Tasmania. I was able to buy a house in an area I wanted to live in here for $215,000. I can't fathom taking on twice that on, even on dual incomes, that sort of loan would make me feel ill.

My job is in metal fabrication, the past 12 months have been much slower than the previous 10 years, things have slowed down a great deal.

The best example is the Sandy Hook conspiracy. I have no stake in this game, but I'm as interested as anybody to hear both sides and it turns out that CNN will not ever provide the other side of the story while infowars will. It's that easy: Infowars does its actual journalistic job and questions everything.

Some stories just don't have two sides.

Infowars doesn't do a "journalistic job". What they do is take a story, work out what their world view says ("Guns make people safer and the government is bad" in this case I think?) and then finds some theory - any theory - to back their view and calls it the other side of the story.
What am I accusing the author of? An attention-grabbing headline, a long-winded unreadable article that refuses to get to the point, and an opening example that is implicitly interpreted as showing bias when it could show any number of things.

I just took the male/female vs. family/career IAT. It starts out with a couple dumb questions where the correct answer "Wat?!" isn't even available. Then I get "weak association between male and career". But the funny thing is that this is based on how fast I answer, not on correctness. The test where male/career and female/family each share a key is last. By that time I've seen the same words so often that I simply respond faster because I read faster. What a surprise.

And finally...

> she believes that the bias exists and is merely looking for evidence

She'll find it if only she keeps looking for it long enough. Am I the only one who thinks that's not exactly scientific?
Founding all knowledge on the scientific method is just vulgar empiricism, and it's known to have it's limits, and philosophy isn't just "emotions", since science is part of philosophy itself (asking and answering questions about the world, Truth, etc.)

> the myth that "mainstream media is lying" is both low-quality and dangerous

"low-quality" is a pejorative cop-out. What's dangerous is the mainstream media taking sides politically to such an extreme that the public can no longer gain a balanced perspective.

Then you should equally downvote the respective left-wing talking points--except that doesn't happen here.

When it comes to journalism, honesty is about much more than merely not making factually false claims. The media is expert at painting a tinted picture by selectively reporting what's convenient to their worldview. What's really interesting is that you seem to imply that they don't do that.
> In my view, the whole concept of scientism is the last attempt of philosophy to stay relevant

I'm not the smartest guy around, but I see myself still reading philosophy while still very close to laying on my death-bed, while I know I wouldn't care that much then about whether worm-holes exist or if the physical Universe is finite or infinite. In that respect philosophy will still be relevant, at least for me. I find the human species one of the most interesting things that I've read or heard about, and I think philosophy does a good job of talking about us.
I could be wrong but if you wanted to test the hypothesis: given the rules of addition show that 1 + 1 = 2 can be deduced.

- To get a decent starting salary.

I really don't get this vendetta some small number of people seem to have against jQuery. It seems like it gets looked down upon in the same way that PHP gets looked down upon. But while PHP has legitimate problems most arguments against jQuery seem to boil down to "You can save a 100k download!".

Big deal.

I wouldn't mind a smaller version of jQuery, I've heard of some, I've also tried min/slim versions.

Still including a 200+kb file for jQuery... to just use well these are the most common ones I use:

var targ = $("#targ");
targ.show,.hide,.val(),.text(),.css,.post(),.done,.promise(),.each(),.remove(),.on('blur" or .on({ blur: mouseup, .height(), .width(), .scrollTop(), etc...

Probably much more, yeah certainly shorter code, gotten used to using it.

edit: At this time I always build with jQuery, always include it in the <head> section. Could wait if it's a potential thing to slow down loading of site but I usually just have a copy on my server.
Reactide the first dedicated IDE for React web application development
Hell yeah, you do. I just recently had to create a tiny script (one of those notorious cookie warnings) without any dependencies. It's like pulling teeth. The DOM API is an ugly, verbose mess and its pretty unbareble to use without JQuery, zepto, etc.. Including the code for parsing cookies (yeah, you still have to do that, too) the script clocked in at 318 lines of code (without comments).

With JQuery and the cookies plugin its would probably have been something like 30 lines. Thats 10 times the code you have to write, debug and maintain.

So, of course, you don't NEED JQuery just like you don't NEED any means of transportation, you can walk everywhere after all. The question is, if you want to spend you whole life walking/writing verbose ugly JS code.
Just to clarify. the two incidents I was referring to were Chernobyl and Fukushima (as they are INES 7). The Three Mile you mention was "only" INES 5. I'd argue it's still pretty bad but INES 7 is what I'd consider the black swan events.
Alex Jones is often the person to trot out when you want to discredit the alternative news media. What you then get is exactly the reaction you just got, which is aggressive push-back and a desire to never research the topic yourself.

Because what just happened in your head? You generalized and lumped all alternative news media into a group that is exactly like Alex Jones; far out and kooky.

This is the desired effect.

The fact is there are many good alternative news sources, that go out of their way to try and find out the truth behind the corporate bought out main stream media.

Just because there is one bad apple, does not mean all other news sources are exactly the same.

Science regularly demolishes science too, of course. Scientists don't have a problem with thatm they just move on. But in my opinion philosophers do.

I know philosophy is extremely rigorous. Science is fiddly, it works in approximations. Philosophers hate ad hocs postulates like dark matter or cosmological constants. They hate not knowing how certain things work. That's part of the problem. They need to apply their rigor to theories that have the chance of being false.

JQuery is massive and has a lot of functionality. Sometimes this is nice, but sometimes all you need from it is a small part of that whole. I think the point of that link is that if you are looking to build in some simple functionality like hide and show an element when someone clicks a button, then you do not really need to include the whole JQuery library just to do that because then the massive library is not being used and you would be better served to write your own vanilla function.

I don't see anything wrong with that. No one is saying that JQuery sucks or that it should die, I think the point is more "use the best tool for the job".

You can buy a massive wrench with all kinds of adjustable settings and addons and stuff but if all you ever need is an Alan key, then maybe the little one that comes with your IKEA furniture is actually better and easier to use than that massive wrench.

> The choice is not to get the same information but from known sources. In most cases, you won't get the information at all.

Since the "information" is claimed to be from anonymous sources, there is no way to determine whether the information is accurate or wholly fabricated. Given the media's extreme bias now, it is not a given that it is not the latter.

BTW, seems like few people have seen this article: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/14/world/middlee...
> Can I use it, for example, to take an informed choice about the real world?

I might remembering it wrong, but I think one of the main questions asked by Socrates was "how can we be good persons?". And "what does 'good' mean?". That question absolutely does inform my every-day choices about the real world, because me not being a religious person and not believing in the after-life and such I base most of my every-day thingies on thinking if what I'm actually doing is "good" or not. Asking yourself that is a philosophical question. That and a little bit of Kant, and his "people should never be means to an end".

While I don't agree that eliminating JQuery is necessarily something to strive for, I do like to see these sorts of projects because they help me learn how to reduce my dependency on jQuery when it makes sense to

What's really interesting is that OP spoke specifically of lying, and there doesn't appear to be anybody able to back up that statement.

I'm using that statement because I've seen it repeated so many times, and it's the one that – unlike your equally common accusation of bias – has somewhat-accepted definition and could be proven.
> changed the word "surgeon" to "nurse"

But that's not surprising at all, is it? The verb "to nurse" means "to breastfeed", and it's damn near impossible to associate a man with that word. It may be a bad word to describe a profession, but this particular association is really explained by the other meanings of the word.

My native tongue is German. We call a nurse "Krankenschwester", literally sick-people-sister. The male equivalent "Krankenbruder" doesn't exist. This badly chosen name makes it even harder to think of a nurse as male.

No jQuery actually means:

1. Less dependencies for your JavaScripts

2. Less "magic" behind the scenes

3. Native JS-engine optimisation

4. Switch of though-process ( jQuery, although quite flexible ), makes you think that everything is "string", "array", "object" and sometimes you need the bare Node-element e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element
I would have thought that this could be challenged under the 14th Amendment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Due_Process_Clause). "Due process" must surely include being able to find out what laws might apply to you, and a paywall would seem to breach that.

> "Scientific knowledge is better than non-scientific knowledge."

Isn't this a falsifiable hypothesis?

If you analyzed various predictions made by scientific and non scientific knowledge then you could compare them and determine if one was "better".

That historical performance might not hold but the sun may not rise in the east.

That the scientific method has not be employed because our heuristics say the answer is obvious does not mean it cannot be employed.

I do agree that the scientific method is too high a bar for something to be considered knowledge.

You put it like finding out people's needs is complete voodoo... but in fact there are well established disciplines in the social sciences that do nothing but that, and quality of life can be put into indices and even ranked. And, yes, at this point European cities with good public transport, like Copenhagen, Zürich, Vienna or Munich come out on top in many cases in these surveys.
I don't think you would need an actual criminal case. "Chilling effects" (i.e. people can't find out the law, and hence might refrain from lawful behavior) would seem to be sufficient.
For the existence and coexistence they amount to the same. There are galaxies now that will leave our co-existance in the future and still exist. Disproves that existence implies co-existence.
There has never been good reason to believe them. Sometimes you can see that clearly. Consider how Germany, Japan and Russia were portrayed in movie newsreels during 1900-1970, and in TV news. It's all propaganda.

Edit: For example, why did the US leave so many troops in Germany after WWII? Standard dogma is the Cold War. But, perhaps not surprisingly, some German veterans weren't all that happy about the outcome. About occupation. That came out in disputes about pacification after the US invaded Iraq.

I am sorry, this just does not make sense.

It claims that because there is direct access to all the DOM API, you really don't need jQuery, but then it gives examples on how simple jQuery calls maps to different, multimethod calls to the DOM API. Those examples show how jQuery provide a nice abstraction on top of the DOM.

It's not immediately possible, but of course, as more information comes to light, you can verify of falsify it. So please show an example, from the last year, from the New York Times, where they published something from an anonymous source that was later disproven[1].

Here, I'll start with something that was proven to be right: Flynn's phone call with the ambassador was reported (with anonymous sources, on Jan 12th, and confirmed by the president's spokesman the next day: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/02/14/us/politics/f...

When I was a kid and played Sim City for the first time it was also the first time I was confronted with zoning. The whole concept of having a square grid and strictly separate residential/commercial/industrial zones seemed foreign to me. I understood slowly that there was plenty of cultural bias in the game. For me the most natural form of a city was that of a circle surrounding some central area. That would be the european bias I guess... We do have zoning as well of course, but in fact new laws are coming in place that aim for more of a mixture of spaces within a city. I think this is a great development.
