  • “Ignorance is bliss” People, not all but many, want religion because it teaches them all they have to do is believe and pray to a God and everything will be well. That even when things are bad, that they just need to roll with it because there is a plan that they are part of and they should not lose faith. That is all and it is simple. It also gives certain groups, genders, ethnicities power over others, which makes them feel special and entitled.

    When you start to give a person with this kind of faith facts and logic that is contrary to what they have been told it angers them because it scares them. It angers them because it tells them they aren’t entitled and they cant keep on with their actions because there will be consequences. They like propaganda that says “all is well, dont listen to those scary fake facts.” This comforts them.

    Those people want to stay feeling entitled, believing they are special, that their actions cause no harm, and stay in blissfull ignorance.

    Science is not faith based. It is empirical and truths can be observed and proven. Yes there are hypothesis yet to be proven, but they are based on facts that suggest they may be true. Religions simply require faith with no proof what you are believing in is true.

    Science will not dispell any spirtuality there is in the universe but it will eventually tear down most religions. We are very likely not the only living organisms in the universe, yet most religions depict Gods that resemble us. This is as bad as thinking the Earth is the center of the solar system, which is why it was considered blasphemous when the idea was first introduced that it was not.




  • Exactly. Since n is represented by the collection of clothes, it is O(1) if you are only going through a finite subset of the clothes. If everything is in the closet, and in no particular order, you would then do O(n) because you potentially have to go through the entire collection to find one article of clothing.

    It gets even worse if your idea of organization is placing the clothes neatly yet with no real order in a closet with multiple drawers and containers inside. In this last scenario you get O(n²) because you now have to repeatedly search through n numbers of clothing containers.





  • Clients will have intellectual rights on anything produced for them. Removal of that data from their systems and storing it elsewhere will be a violation.

    Using your own equipment other than maybe your monitor, mouse, or keyboard will be a no go. I don’t know of any serious workplace that would let you do otherwise.

    Even if you are a self employed contractor you will need to remote in to their virtual environment and work in that.



  • Yeah, the “opinion” section is a mixed bag of opinion and factual pieces the NYT decided was something this Administration wouldn’t approve of. I stopped subscribing after they did it one too many times, not to mention the headliner clearly giving the news articles poor headlines that either poorly conveyed the article or completely hid what it was really about.
