Why can you not have both privacy and safety? The notion of privacy isn’t mutually exclusive with finding criminals. Generally, we accept that criminals don’t deserve privacy. Historically, that’s meant that investigators have needed to sho

Why is that ethical? It seems neutral.

Really? That seems insanely low to me. Where is the other $1.26 billion going?

Some also speculated that Ryan Cohen and Carl Ichan were going to save BBBY in a sweetheart deal that would make bagholders who got in at $30/share whole despite the pennies-per-share valuation. Bagholders never lose hope. Even if &quo

What makes it NP-hard? Naively, I would assume the number of simple paths between any two nodes in a graph to a polynomial function of the number of nodes plus the number of edges, so checking every path wouldn't be hard.

If oil were expensive, plastic would probably still be used in all the places it is used today because it is lighter and a large percentage of oil goes into the transportation of goods. I actually don't have a problem with plastic, at

Is not wanting to do extra work really that hard to understand?

No, the 80% figure only includes agriculture. Not grass fields on commercial lots. Consider this: produce is mostly water. Now consider the weight of all the produce in California (including waste like corn stalks or potato plants) to the w

And yet total residential usage of water is only 10% California’s residential / agricultural / industrial water usage. Agriculture is 80%.

No, they don’t. The vast majority of water is used for agricultural and industrial purposes. Even if you completely eliminated lawns, you wouldn’t make a meaningful dent in water consumption.

Land is taxed? It’s called: property taxes. Most of the value of property in NYC is the land itself. A land value tax isn’t going to magically change that.

Cheap Chinese cookware sold for many, many multiples the unit cost. It’s cool they gave you a new pan though.

Let’s say a human needs an average of 2000 calories a day. A calorie is roughly equivalent to 1 Watt hour, so over 20 years, it takes about 15 MWh to sustain a human. Let’s say a single A100 has a peak power draw of 250W, and you need 100 t

When you say “massive amount of energy” are you comparing the energy requirements to a single human or to the billions of years of solar and geothermal energy that went into producing the human species?

This is like the exact opposite of my experience. They’re paid well and have so little to do they invent meaningless problems to solve. Most big tech companies I’ve seen could easily operate with 50% of the engineers.

There are a lot of options in this space.

by 4death4 3y ago
Obviously there could be many factors. I want to point out, though, that a caloric deficit is a marginal difference. That means small changes in the base calorie intake can lead to a many-fold increase in your caloric deficit. As an example

Just speaking from personal experience, I’m fat because I eat cake and ice cream every day and walk 6,000 steps on a good day. I don’t really see a mystery here tbh.

I agree that collecting is weird, but I also agree with the GP’s general point that one should accept they have a collecting hobby and find contentment in that fact alone. There is a large amount of personal satisfaction to be found by ac

Whether or not large cars are a modern, mostly unnecessary, luxury is a separate question from the assertion made by OP, which is that large car usage is primarily driven by feelings of personal insecurity. My point is that you can never ho

As a general rule, one should question their beliefs if their beliefs require some type of derogatory state of mind about some other, disagreeable group. For instance, what is more likely: people drive large cars en masse because they have
