The author above, Noahpinion, supports nuclear power. He isn't avoiding discussing nuclear power because he is opposed to it, but rather to highlight the pertinent issue in the article: that these sorts of organizations block all sorts

I guess the real question is whether those offices were proportionate to the amount of patricians. If there were only 100 patrician families, and by the Middle Republic many of those families had died out, then perhaps the patricians remain

A couple interesting things here: first, what was that loop circa 1890-1940? I can't think of any major trends that would cause a westward and northward shift of the population except for the industrialization and de-industrialization

I wonder if there's anything ending August 2023 that causes many groups to publish right around this time, maybe a lot of PhDs are trying to graduate and are pumping out papers, or maybe a bunch of grants are ending?

I took the test three times and got wildly different results each time. First one said I'm from Florida, second one Kansas, third one Ohio. Weird.

> It wasn't unusual for a significant portion of your class to be different by the end of the year. Do you think that affected educational quality in any way? Like did kids fall behind in class because they moved around so often?

Can confirm. In Canada, at least for big highways, there's always a definite article ("take the 401 until Yonge") meanwhile for side roads you never use the definite article. In the states, I've noticed that named roads

So many interesting things here: first, only .5L of vodka per month? That surprises me, as I know people who would go through that in a single weekend, let alone an entire month... especially in Poland, known for their drinking culture, tha

What country? Perhaps the combined effect of deflationary pressure, Japanese-specific zoning laws, and shrinking population has created this lack of housing crisis.

This article makes no claim as to why CBT may work better for white people—except for a few one-off muses about authority or family structure—which I find to be more interesting than what they're actually talking about. Maybe CBT is

If you could reform the immigration system in one way, how would you do it? Would you say that US immigration is currently broken for tech workers? Also, how does US immigration compare to other countries, such as the UK, Canada, or Germany

What changes specifically? I'm lucky in that I am American, and honestly have never had to deal with immigration, so know nothing about it. Do immigration procedures become harder/easier to navigate? Are quotas (if there are quota

You're probably right, but one caveat: this graph shows average hourly earnings, which may not account for inequality. If some percentage of the population has had their wages rise much faster than everyone else, it could be that mos

Hmm, there should probably be some sort of guardrails in place: like these agencies can comment on the bill, but not actually influence it. Or, maybe this only applies to enforcement agencies, versus regulatory ones like the FTC.

Yeah, its much more likely that people will use deepfakes and AI-generated photos/video to reconfirm their pre-existing biases, just as how we use manipulative news articles to confirm our opinions on topics. All that this will do if c

Instead of using MLA, it might have been better to base the amount of text able to fit on the page off of 80-column punch cards or GNU Enscript [1]. I think you would probably get a vastly different number, as that seems more information de

For academic writing, it's going to be obvious in the next few years that the types of writing assignments that chatGPT could help with—like take home essays, for example—are going to be phased out in favour of in-person, proctored wri

Wow, that was absolutely harrowing. Easily the most emotionally powerful thing I've read in the NYTimes (or any other major newspaper) in a while. It really puts into perspective just how horrible the conditions are for these people; i

This question gets a lot more practical if we abstract math as being similar to language in this regard (namely, as a way to describe the world around us and communicate effectively). The question then becomes: is language real? Asking whet

One way to look at it is that with increasing life expectanties, 70 will be the new 60 (or even 50). The probability that you'll see your kids have kids is going to get higher and higher. Also, it may be better that you had kids later

It seems like there's a lot of libraries for plotting in Julia now. Does anyone know how good interoperability between Julia and R is? I have a lot of workflows in R and Python using some pretty niche bio informatics libraries, but Jul

One good idea I've had (that anyone here is welcome to take, I'm not going to attempt it) is a sort of micro-payments model for news. Like, for example, if I want to read an article from NYT, through some sort of browser extensio

Then again, the US having a much higher emissions per capita assumes that with comparatively much less effort, we can reduce our emission than India or China. For us, reducing our emissions by 10% would mean driving less, eat less beef, inv
