Money is fungible. It doesn't make sense to say that these dollars that "disappear" are completely separate from these other dollars that magically "appear" out of nowhere. In real terms (we'll call it weal

In the example on the page, I think the Zerg spike-things (forgot what they're called) stand out. In the remastered version they are a bit too shiny, and look like they're just sitting on the creep, which makes them look more like

Is it even useful for gameplay to have a low-angle perspective as shown in the screenshot? It seems more useful to have the usual Civ perspective, mostly from the top, and isometric.

The double-space just says "I was raised in the jungle by wild typists, and did not lay my eyes upon a printed book until the age of 25".

I'm going to save you some time, having lost mine. The article consists of a sociologist listing the mentions of gravitational waves he has seen in the media. But it has no meat to it, and there is no payoff: it just lists them, and en

How do we know you're a Uber engineer and not some rented astroturfer? You better balance some binary trees for us right now, son.

I would say that ultimately the Segway was a failure, but that perception is partially affected by the hyperbolic hype that preceded it. I wonder what its own inventors think. How popular did they expect it to get? How did they expect peopl

If 1-4% of the Eurasian genome comes from Neanderthals, but sub-Saharan Africans have no Neanderthal genes, does that mean that the EA genome differs from the SSA one by 1-4%? And even more so the Melanesian genome, which has 4-6% Denisovan

That's not a new idea. It used to be common in America too, although usually in that case it was two floors, one finished and one unfinished for future expansion.

I get the impression that much of America has the opposite problem. "The bus" is seen as something for the poor, which no self-respecting middle-class person would ride. The result is more cars on the road, more pollution, and les

I tried downloading the app, but the app store was offline. Not sure if that's considered ironic.

The most insidious type of bias, and the least noticed, is researcher bias.

The people and culture that gave rise to it have already been replaced, actually. Did you know that the Mission used to be an Irish neighborhood, for instance?

To be fair, you also had countless celebrities broadcasting the message that drugs are cool and awesome.

"The solution" to what? The things you mentioned will not solve poverty or homelessness. They will not even make a dent in the problem. Do you think that talking to the homeless guy will warm his heart and brighten his whole day?

That may have changed with a recent update. I'm pretty sure I set it to "only when in use", but the app updated soon after. Now I went back to check, and it got set to "never". Why does Apple even allow apps to remo

No. The biggest issue is the enormous and growing transfer of wealth from people engaged in productive economic activity to a caste of rentiers who extract money while producing nothing. This is what is meant by feudalism, and it manages to
