Jewish democratically elected president and yet you repeat the lie that this war is about nazis. Jewish people are persecuted by nazis, not elected to the presidency by nazis. Russian land invasion fears as speculation for why Russia invade

This is likely not going to be popular, because your small errors won't seem worthy of the level of harm I'm going to attribute to them, but I hope you'll take the critique according to the good intent that motivates it and u

I asked the rhetorical question because the claim that they don't make rockets is obviously false and the evidence that they do is easily found. I think it is worthwhile when people make false claims to counter those claims with the tr

If Blue Origin isn't building rockets why is there a video of a reusable rocket being launched which has Blue Origin branding on it on the Blue Origin YouTube channel? [1] [1]: https://youtu.be/ZUZZ0EDzII0?t=4913

I don't think it is true that the best outcome individually is if you're the only one to read the comments. In the wisdom of the crowds formulation the average is closest, but on Hacker News and similar websites there is a popular

It seems tautological to me because they are asking the question are two different things different. So the definition of the question gives the questions answer. So the question is answered by its logical form alone. I was trying to get ac

It feels like a motte and balley because you're getting confused about what his question was. You seem to think his question was whether a malicious actor can pretend to be incompetent. That wasn't his original question. That was

I can tell you what we have done historically when governments were malicious by consulting a history book, but I can't tell you what we will do in the future. The halting problem makes it formerly provable that it is impossible for me

I don't need to prove a stronger claim. Equality requires showing that all cases are the same. He is the one who asked if they were always the same. In other words, if they were equal. Inequality doesn't require that all cases are

You're scoping it to Russia, but I feel the conversation expanded in scope to cover additional instances because the conversation now includes 'never attribute' in the parent chain. In the expanded scope the answer is yes the

The matrix is a right example on some levels, but thematically it is very far off. Existing underground infrastructure like subways, sewers, tunnels for cars, conference centers and bunkers so on are all more indicative of what it would fee

Underground cities. Nests of tunnels filled with decentralized infrastructure. I know it is counterintuitive because of costs. However, it is a relatively proven development path. Here are seven reasons I think humanity should invest in thi

If a pattern of incompetence is malice then it follows we should be treating people who are physically or mentally disabled, in a hostile manner as if they are malicious adversaries. Depending on the length of time you use you might also ne

Tautologically, yes, they are different. Also, in terms of game theory, yes. The expected outcomes of cooperative games versus competitive games are very different.

We have a need for ceilings. When you account for that the amount of space needed provide ceilings, powering our civilization with solar is a negative number rather than a positive number. Negative, because we can more then power our civili

A crafty person here will draw on ideas like kalman filters and sensor fusion to notice that as the number of measurements increase you can gain precision even in the presence of an unreliable sensor. This is very true and it might be where

Lets say P(h) is the price that a home fetches after being listed, O(h) is the price that an owner expects to get from selling the home, and Z(h) is the price that Zillow expects to get if they sell the home. An owner will sell to Zillow wh

TL; DR: I take your general point to be that people are stupid for having a diverse set of activist activities. I think this idea is very wrong. I've addressed a few lines in your comment trying to show the following: 1. That you'

by JoshCole 5y ago
Just to show you mathematically that they're right consider that if you have two sensors that are both measuring the same thing. One is Norm(mean=0, std=0.00001) and the other is Norm(mean=0, std=10). The true quantity is always zero i

Calling the problems faced by social media simple is the sort of hubris that only comes about because of the Dunning–Kruger effect. You're underestimating the complexity of the problem because you're under-informed. Some aspects o

The expected value of an ad conversion for a user is going to be positive or they wouldn’t have converted. Therefore the cost is not high, it is negative. So you don’t know the cost when you claim to know it. Being the product doesn’t mean
