Axiology is intrinsic and therefore not relative. That means there are right answers and there are wrong answers to the question of which goods are greater and which goods are lesser.
It's really type resonant that you used COBOL (IN ALL CAPS) for your high school project. Makes for good high school memorabilia. I hope you used Greek gods for all of your variable names.
Estimate presupposes estimating something in objective reality. Because the verb "to estimate" takes a direct object. Therefore if there are two estimates, and they differ, one is closer to objective reality than the other.
Why does Frequentism and Bayesianism give slightly different answers? Could someone look through every logistics involving tanks in history and see whether the Bayesian or Frequentist approach is closer, thereby gaining evidence for which interpretation is the correct one?
It was neither ignorance nor dishonesty, my friend. It was measuring Tesla according to the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church at his time in history.
And I mentioned "atomism as a theory of science" under the instrumentalism part of my comment. In Catholic Theology, philosophy always means "ontological interpretation". That section you quoted is saying that Catholics are allowed to believe in atomism as an instrumental model, but not as the ultimate interpretation of how the Universe works.
Atomism is a philosophically offensive position to those of Tesla's personality type. Catholic Encyclopedia has an entry against it (while barely admitting an instrumental interpretation of atoms for chemistry). It's almost as bad as evolution!
I remember Bram Moolenar as the guy who had the "Help Children in Uganda!" button in the GUI version of Vim. Were it not for that, surely I would not have remembered the man: he would have just been an anonymous open source software developer.
Milton Friedman was correct: because the true minimum wage is $0.00 (unemployment), he was correct to compare wage increase to the null hypothesis. The potshot in the opening paragraph ("Milton feels bad about the unemployed but good about his theory.") is simultaneously an appeal to emotion and a presumptuous ad hominem.
"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet." - Terry Pratchett
The fact that being poor is expensive is, in fact, the root cause of why it is so difficult to escape poverty.
Not everything has to be bad, or a set up for something worse to happen. Sometimes, even when there is an overall line with negative m, good things can happen.
Rust works because the Rust type system and development environment are tutors. They train up the developer like magic nannies until they learn how to correctly manage memory.
So the power of Rust comes from the the cooperation of the developer with the compiler and development environment willing to work through their severe instruction.
Developers in general unwilling to learn how to manage memory walk away from Rust based devteams.
