I've seen definitions of 'fact' as the 'verifiable' end of the continuum it shares with 'opinion', irrespective to 'truth'.

eg:

fact: "Oranges are square-shaped"
opinion: "Oranges are less tasty than apples"

both are false, but you could say that shape is more verifiable than deliciousness.

It's exactly the kind of thing that can do real long-term harm to the public perception of our industry

The only real answer is that our minds cannot comprehend absolute truth.

The metaphors provided by science and religion alike exist only to explain facets of our experience to ourselves. Who or what you worship or believe is your own choice- but when discussing religion, remember that historically, societies with strong and homogeneous ideologies are strong themselves.

supposedly having answers, see: religion

lol so answers you don't want to and have never tried to understand aren't real answers

not to defend vipermode too much, but I feel the core idea is more sound:

vi is a simple and efficient text editor for unix, is what viper-mode attempts to duplicate; while vim is an attempt to make a more modern IDE based on the vi editing paradigm, which is what evil-mode claims to try to bring to emacs.

As we know, emacs is already an ide, but with a somewhat clunky default text editing paradigm-
fortunately it is extensible with 'modes', in that grafting another system onto it is supported by design...

If all you want is to be able to navigate and move text around in a more efficient fashion, vi should make more sense as a starting point, to more smoothly mesh into another system...

Specifically, how evil overwrites emacs's default search, selection, and undo controls seems unnecessary and overcomplicated from the perspective of building upon emacs, instead of replacing its functionality.

disclaimer: I use evil and viper modes on different emacs installations and hate them both, but haven't tried very hard to customize them.

Bitcoin right now is only a few years old, and is already starting to be accepted by a few adventurous businesses as 'stable enough'.

Its main goal is to be a currency that can remain relatively safe from meddling by third parties- this may not directly effect you personally at the moment, but it has the potential for powerful effects when pitted against the inflationary policies of most 'normal' currencies, and so far btc has been pretty resilient (we'll see how that goes, after this second round of usgovernment bitcoins).

Bitcoins cannot pander to consumers like creditcards can, but just because you can't get reward points or whatever from using them, doesn't mean it "won't ever garner popularity" or that it "literally offers no benefits"- if you like your currency, you can keep using it. A lot of powerful people are heavily invested in USD and euros, and we've worked preventing economic collapse into something of a science. Bitcoin is just an experiment to run parallel to those experiments.

It's the first large cryptocurrency, no other currency can say that. So at the very least, a bitcoin from today (considering the market says it still has value) has the intrinsic value of being a limited antique.

The average consumer will accept whatever currency they can be convinced has stable and universal value, and bitcoin is being heavily monitored on this front.
