To catch some BS, sure. I wouldn't expect them to fall for obvious lies. I doubt a mechanic would be significantly educated metallurgy or production techniques to spot BS in part lifespans. Or to spot pseudoscience in air filters. I

It's only a joke because doctors will prescribe placebos. He's unable to distinguish between testing medicine and treating diseases.

It seems a lot of these issues could be solved by just running the dishwasher after every meal.

What makes you sure doctors are "so easy to manipulate"? Is the general public more immune? Are there many professions that are more immune?

No. Until the recent convictions in relation to January 6th, the most recent US conviction for sedition was against an Egyptian for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He died in federal prison.

It's not a 10% lower turnout. The average was 67%, but that average includes the lower turnout for younger people. For citizens ages 18-34, 57% voted in 2020 In the 35-64 age group, turnout was 69% In the 65 and older gro

Younger people don't vote. I'm not surprised no one competes for their votes.

I believe there is either only one solution or multiple equivalent solutions (e.g. in board where all squares are an equal probability, it doesn't matter which corner you start with.) You should assume an optimal counter-strategy when

I believe it's good for people who use starlink. It's just not useful for me.

Makes sense. I too had trouble with iCal. I don't see why I did - the format is simple enough. But making and sending iCal files to people with iPhones and having them parse it is harder than it should have been.

Indeed, what software would you want to update?

I don't believe in either of your listed secondary effects. How does starlink existing make it more likely for other companies to build expensive infrastructure while having to price compete with it?

Yes. I would like to be able to disable other smartphone features I don't use. But that's already the case. Like the GPS, for instance, is disabled unless I'm using the map. And even that can be set to "never" if I

I'm not sure of many, if any, monopolies where regulatory constraints are the cause. Especially compared to causes like network effects. Do you have a modern example? I can think of a couple of examples where regulations exist to manag

Very interesting, thanks. I'm not sure how valuable most of these are. But this seems to bring back the settings explorer panel, which I personally prefer.

The Settings folder is back! I guess it had a hardcoded GUID?
