Richard Carrier vs David Marshall - “Is the Christian Faith Reasonable?”

I like to watch these long form debates to see how each side handles the challenges made by the other. David Marshall is unfortunately the weakest I’ve seen so far. I plan to watch more from Richard Carrier, however.

Haha. I thought David Marshall's, "All Japanese people look the same" anecdote was funny and ridiculous.

Nynderi: I can fit 3 people in my trunk.

Typhoid: You can fit at least 6 full grown men in the trunk of an average car, if you cut them up.

Firefox is not competition, it’s an advertising channel. Searches from Firefox users account for probably $5-10 billion a year in ad revenue based on Firefox’s market share. Chrome only exists to keep people using the web and keep them searching on Google; it’s insurance against Microsoft and Apple. The long-term threats to Google are app ecosystems like iOS and Windows 8 Metro where people consume all their content through native apps obtained through stores controlled by Google’s competitors. All their non-search products (browsers, phones, chromebooks, gmail, their office apps) exist to maintain demand for access to the open web over these curated native experiences… because Google needs people to use the web or they won’t be searching (and viewing Google ads) as much.

Reddit user odd84 gives an excellent explanation of why Google does the things they do, including paying $300 million annually to Mozilla to keep Google as the default search provider in Firefox. (via world-shaker)

If you’re a “nice guy” to a girl up until you realize she doesn’t want to date you, then go on about how she’s a cold shrew that friendzoned you and how no...
