From my wandering around the ruins, the plant life looked the same as the rest of the area. My hunch is that the difference from the CO2 is smaller than if the plants were being actively fertilized, for example.

Agreed all around, especially about due diligence. My wife found a house that had been on the market for months in a market where most houses were going under contract before we could get a tour. Description said it was "cozy and histo

I absolutely love my ninety year old house. It's remarkably solid and there's no sound of settling or anything like that. Although apparently it was in vogue to put broken glass along fence lines during the eighties for security,

That's a neat idea! Although the last three places I've lived have been over eighty years old. I guess when you get that far back in time, you can usually assume that the building is pretty darn solid.

Haven't thought of that book in years but it's the perfect thing to cite here. Bravo.

I second this suggestion. Although I got strange looks on the bus when I was reading it...

My baby just started eating solid food. It's really easy to make that kind of baby food at home. Baby formula, on the other hand, is designed for younger babies and is much harder.

My baby is similarly large for her age. Eventually she'll probably hit a growth plateau and approach the mean. But for now it means a lot less worrying about her nutrition than if she were bouncing around the fiftieth percentile.

In fact, depreciation is a great thing for used car buyers. It means they pay less to buy a car.

Well said! I tend to drive cars until they stop working. My first car was almost twenty years old and I loved it. Even if I'm not planning to drive a car that long, I still want the option when I buy it and would have a hard time buyin

All aspects of driving should be made as intuitive as possible, from the operator controls to the fonts on road signs. Adding more mental work makes a dangerous task even more so.

"54–300 deaths (exact number not known)" Wow, I can't imagine a disaster happening in the United States where we barely even knew the order of magnitude of fatalities.

I agree that Apollo set the stage for a lot of things in aerospace. It's worth noting that the death of the entire Apollo 1 crew actually led to less iteration in the late stages of the program.

Wow, that could be a really big deal in terms of maximum payload.

I totally agree with you. I run the data science department at a corporation and we do most things on our laptops (I have a mobile workstation) or on our in-house server. Most data science teams seem to be moving to cloud. We've saved

The reason it takes so long to become a physician is because they have to tailor treatments to specific patients. Guidelines are there to help them make decisions.

That's a really good theory.

That's really interesting. Another reason for greater use of user-level encryption.

Every bad leader had good policies. I was surprised to hear a member of a tribe in New Mexico telling me great things about Nixon.

The book Windfall details all sorts of ways that people are trying to make a buck off of climate change. Good book if you want to see a different side of the issue. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18079772-wind

You Look Like a Thing and I Love You. I'm a data scientist and this is a brilliant overview of the promise and peril of real world AI. Doesn't hurt that it's hilarious too.

Do you mean regular purchasers or regular clickers? There's definitely a subset of users who'll click much more frequently than the average user.

This was my experience as an RA in grad school. I could churn out paper summaries until I hit one that really challenged what I thought I knew about the topic and then I'd spend forever on it.

Oh I haven't thought about that site in a long time. I used to be obsessed with it back in the day.

Wow, what a read! I hadn't heard of this paper before and it's a treat. https://susam.github.io/tucl/the-unix-command-language.html

I appreciate the footnote that basically says "Whoa, this is more practically useful than we realized!"

Imagine that many people thinking of the cloud first when imagining any project. I'm a data scientist and I run most of my projects on my workstation laptop. There are plenty of data scientists who immediately go to a cloud provider fo
