How about moving one eyeball? https://youtu.be/FaC2RXBss2c These sorts of quirks indicate to me that we may have much more conscious control than we assume.

This might be a bad example, since crocs and crocodiles are different words. But in some regions, 'croc' is used much more often than 'crocodile' in the same way that Americans say 'sitcom' much more often than

Then it seems like all punishment is unethical.

If putting every rapist in solitary confinement prevented a single rape, it would be unethical to not do so. These sorts of articles come out a lot. I think they gain traction because people conflate the wrong ng conviction with the harsh

I don't think there's anything wrong with starting a debate. Rehabilitation is one of those code words that polls well, but I am skeptical it exists. In reality it usually just means 'addiction treatment' (which seldom w

I was writing something else, but I think you nailed it. If you give a quiz where the cynical answers are correct, then (gasp!) cynical people do well. Of course I understand their point that social psychology is cynical, but I hope it isn&

Here's a thought experiment: suppose service animals did not exist. In this hypothetical world, do you suppose that users of ESAs would be able to successfully campaign for exemptions and rules for their animals that parallel the exemp

Ostensibly about trains, but I think the author's thesis may be a broader point about oversimplification and underestimation. I call it design arrogance. It's when you think 'this is so poorly done, whoever made this was an i

My guess is it was not enforced because it's a politicaloy savvy community and there wasn't sufficient outrage to justify enforcement.

I don't think this is player stupidity at all. Actually, I suspect it's perfectly rational. The game is so noisy that no one can really predict what will happen. If I hit the grue with my sword--it could reasonably do 10% of damag

Who were based out of Afghanistan? Yes. Clearly their national origin is not relevant. I was born in Moldova, but if I committed terrorism, no one would think blame a nation I have not lived in since I was 2.

This is a tactical failure, not a moral one. One's ability to win a war is entirely separate from the justification of that war. My concern is that the American public seem to conflate the two. I don't know what the correct respon

You're thinking it's ridiculous, but this is exactly what happened to Weev. He found URLs that were not 'supposed' to be exposed, which apparently constitutes unauthorized access... You know like typing in a URL to the b

Knowing how to put a footer on a Word document does not make you a digital native, and not knowing does not make one a digital immigrant. Knowing to look it up though, does.

I know I am supposed to by sympathetic, but if youve left the bay area and been out in the rral world, you would know that most people do not save at all. I used to sell RVs. I would say less than 20% of our clients could actually afford

Heya, I just want to congratulate you on launching a product. I checked my family's cars, and everything seems accurate.

There was a feeling that without deliberate effort, the university would be dominated by a minority who were simply good at tests/human calculators but lacking in the customs, morals, and values that contribute to society. This really

There is a misconception that expanding space prevents us from ever reaching a destination. It's counter-intuitive ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_on_a_rubber_rope ) but falls out of the math. If space expands a

I am a bit surprised to hear this, as I've always had section 8 applicants offer less than market rate. Owners only accept it because tenants often stay longer, and the rent is guaranteed (you're paid by the government directly, a

I think the top comment on the article nails it perfectly. There is a bit of a bait-and-switch happening when we talk about homelessness. The first thing one has to do is define homeless, which actually has many definitions. By number, most

It's completely corrupt. I don't know why we cannot change it. Remember that you need not ever even have been to America to be a citizen. Second, America can decide who is a citizen according to their own laws, which is a bit of a

Y.T.'s mom pulls up the new memo, checks the time, and starts reading it. The estimated reading time is 15.62 minutes. Later, when Marietta does her end-of-day statistical roundup, sitting in her private office at 9:00 P.M., she will

Wow. Where's the outrage. We should be filling the streets. It's a hole in the constitution that lets us confine people for years without seeing a jury. --Oh well you aren't being convicted of a crime --No, you cant leave --W

If you doubt or question that sexism exists, that will be used as an example of sexism and hostility . Ive seen it a lot on HN--when sexism is mentioned, any comments that doubt it are themselves hostile. I am not trying to chase anyone aw

So when given the chance to show the sexism she experiences, one would expect she would publish the most egregious and overt incidents. Instead she chooses two examples that are not even sexist? How can I conclude anything other than this

The thing about technology is that even if you don't change everyone else will. Sure, it might still be technically legal to ride a horse down the street. But soon enough, people started putting in multi-lane highways. Also, stores too

Sounds like this would only work for blood cells--and only by doing a procedure similar to a bone marrow transplant.

Looks like there is an error in the table at page 7. The power generalisation should be raised to the power of 1/α, right?

I think it's just the type of consumer. People purchasing non-sporty sedans are just plain, practical, price-conscious consumers. Perhaps a second factor is that Japanese cars dominate the market, and American manufacturers can only co
