... honestly yeah, at this point I think we need to drop antisemitism as a term. It's Judenhass, plain and simple.

That problematic person who keeps popping up in your feeds. Blogs (or, according to HackerNews "seed[s] extreme left wing ideas into the minds of vulnerable HN members with my demented, violent writing") at https://deadsimpletech.com/blog/posts
I can't help but feel that finding set theory genuinely interesting is probably a sign of some kind of mental damage

I will note that this basically reduces to "humans are flawed creatures that often make decisions and build structures that hurt themselves and others". Which uh... is kind of a core religious teaching.
Religion is built upon a foundation of human suffering and violence because *everything* is built on a foundation of human suffering and violence.
Look, if the moral standards you're setting mean that 95% of the global population are active participants in genocide, the issue is with your moral standards and you should maybe get off the internet for a good long while.
People really do just *say shit*, don't they?
(The more of this I see, the more I think that we really need to improve the calibre of statistical education in our society. Not knowing stats is almost as crippling as being illiterate these days)
If the sample space for a probability distribution is countably infinite (say, a distribution with the integers as a sample space), is a distribution over that space discrete or continuous? I'm fairly sure that it'd be discrete, but I'm a little uncertain.

@phated has once again pointed out to me that one of my followers and a person whom I was chatting with is in fact an august figure in the tech industry, worthy of considerable respect. Why does this keep happening?
We're not even selecting for money-grubbing executives: we're selecting for people who are too stupid or too fucked up to become money-grubbing executives. That's uh... a problem.
Like, if you're smart, hard-working and connected enough to run for congress, you could just as easily land a tech role or something in finance or management that pays way better and is way less stressful. This means that the only people who would run for congress in such conditions are honestly fucked up even beyond like, what your average executive is.
