Conclusion
The word “fact” is meant to refer to something that exists. Moreover, it is not only reasonable to believe that facts exist, but arguments that facts exist seem much more reasonable than arguments that conclude that no facts exist. Finally, there might be an alternative view to the view that at least some facts exist, but it’s not clear what that view is. Until then we can’t consistently argue that no facts exist, and it seems like we have to believe that facts exist to consistently believe that it’s possible to give good arguments (for any belief whatsoever).

From the site: “But whilst [Englihs is] the most widely spoken language, there’s still a few areas it falls down on (strange and bizarre punctuation rules aside). We look at 25 words that simply don’t exist in the English langauge (and yet after reading this list, you’ll wish they did!)”

The meaning of life

Hazen has speculated that the definition of life may need to be expanded — that perhaps there are growing films of molecules deep below the surface that have characteristics similar to those of traditional organisms.

The basic definition of life has long been a matter of debate, though life as we know it has a couple of key features.

First, living things have a metabolism, meaning they use chemical reactions to convert energy to useful purposes.

Second, they have a genetic code that prescribes their structure and enables them to reproduce. The inexact nature of reproduction, due to mutations, allows life to undergo Darwinian evolution.

There are other features of living things: They have an inside and an outside. They use liquid water as the medium for their chemistry. And they’re built on a foundation of carbon, which is useful for forming long, complex molecules (such as DNA) that are stable at a variety of temperatures.

The weird microbes in the red clay below the deep Pacific abide by these basic rules of life. They just take their sweet time about it.

From the site: “I had never heard the term ‘advance measure’, and a bit of Googling for font "advance measure" only led me to copies of the CSS Values and Units module and some configuration files for the Panda 3D game engine. So I asked the editor and it turns out that ‘advance measure’ a CSS-ism that corresponds to the term ‘advance width’, which I had also never heard before.”

Nerds. Fixing things that ain't broken.
