No it's not. It's the other way around. People are looking at something and not realizing how trivial it is. It's a sham. It's like the mother who secretly had her kid paint random shit then she started secretly selling

Why would you measure per country? Countries don't actually exist. You think measuring it by artificial borders drawn by the imagination makes sense? No it doesn't. It makes less sense then per Capita. Following your line of logic

You have to measure per capita. That means greenhouse gases per person. China has a huge population. So it's more reasonable for them to emit more gas given population size. If we want to be pedantic, the tiny middle eastern oil rich c

Yea. The guy is an amateur. Too heavy reliance on testing because he uses error prone design patterns instead of more reliable stateless fp patterns. You need to test but if you're testing on the scale this guy is it's a sign of b

Westwood is the way it is because of students. That's one of the largest concentration of apartments due to the proximity to the school. Not "everyone" lives in a parcel of suburban land. Of course not, home ownership even in

Having lived in LA all my life including westwood and outside of westwood I know it's true. LA is a huge suburbia. You are biased if all you've lived in is westwood. If you lived in westwood that means you likely went to UCLA and

That's different. Shanghai and Beijing are still cities that are built really densely. LA is suburban sprawl which means everybody lives on a parcel of land and has a backyard. That same parcel of land in shanghai probably has 30 peopl

The reason why the US is the number 1 producer of greenhouse gases is because of decentralization. Our cities are built unlike any other city in the world. We live in vast swaths of suburban sprawl that is so decentralized you get cities li

Bubbles can pop but actual scarcity doesn't cause the music to stop.

The US moved up the stack. We are a nation of software engineers who are losing the knowhow and knowledge on how to build the things that actually enable software.

China won't invade the US for the same reason the US won't invade China. It's just another cold war.

>I'm not exaggerating when I say that designing a new technology node for mass production is like a moon program. It's insane. I had a friend tell me about what goes on in these asml machines. Essentially the targeting system t

I don't know about the friction part. Seems like friction is modeled as a force that is dependent on mass but I don't think that's what's actually occurring.

As a coder with zero design training I can design the SpaceX site and hit every point you mentioned. Every point you mentioned is trivial to meet imo.

Oh that's just part of it. The other part of design is the look and feel, or how attractive something is. It's a big part of it. Nowadays people find minimalist designs more attractive so it's not just UX, but even the aesthe

I have a personal opinion about modern "design" that isn't shared by most designers or coders. You're welcome to disagree and vote me down but I just want to say this is just my opinion and I prefer to hear your disagree

People always say correlation does not equal causation but they never mention how does one determine causation definitively? Unlike typical observational science, causation must be established by having the experimenter intervene with the e

It's important to not only look at what the technology can currently do, but also at the future technological trajectory of the technology. Based off of past data points it is realistic to logically project that the human oversight wil

Agreed. But there is a cost to having lots of friends in the sense that those friendships tend to be superficial.... Very superficial. But that's the point. Having Superficial relationships with a larger group is just as important as h

Throughout my life this has mostly been my friend groups. It's really only sustainable with at most 6 people max or something like that. I think this is more inline with the way humans have evolved as we evolved in small local tribes (

This is ultimately what I discovered. Friends with groups are superficial, you really only have one or two real friends but the superficial friendships formed with large groups is actually more important for your mental health simply becau
