It depends on which shelf in the store you look for them. In the snacks section, they will be roasted and salted or sweetened or both. But you can find pure nuts in other sections, often among baking goods or close to the fresh vegetables s

The Streetlight effect [0]. Just because you think that it is the only place that you can see anything doesn’t mean that it is meaningful to look there. A number with high precision doesn’t mean it will tell you anything meaningful. Some pr

Both phenomena are a consequence of the equivalence between mass and energy. So since a spinning top has a higher energy than one at rest, it will also have a higher mass. Another example is that an excited atom has a higher mass than the s

What I find weird is that this whole discussion presupposes that a woman gives away sex in some kind of transaction, not that she has sex because she desires it. In the first case we could talk about some kind of fraud. Maybe she expected a

And for some women breastfeeding is a pain (often literally) and pumping at least works.

Also important to remember is that breast milk isn’t essential. There are of course many studies that show that breast milk is great in so many ways, but on the other hand, a lot of perfectly healthy adults were fed formula, so maybe it’s n

The situation where the sexes are reversed is the norm. That is what almost all successful career men do: they let the wife take care of the kids.

Or get a husband that takes care of the kids. The woman will of course have carry the children in her womb, which will be some tough months. But after that the husband can do almost everything. If she feels that it is important to feed the

But that is only for convenience. You can do everything with real trigonometry, just that it’s a bit more cumbersome. The imaginary numbers don’t correspond to anything in physical reality in electrical engineering.

Few people read more than generals. Few leads more than a handful of battles in their lifetime, and they better not repeat anyone else’s mistakes. And most people, not only 4 of the 5 last US presidents, who decides important things about w

No, sports are not pretty close to battles. People killing and getting killed makes a difference. My emotional state would be very different if I would meet a rival at dawn for a fight on life and death than if I'm fencing for points i

I read your comment as the only reason to have a modular design was because of Conway's law. And my point was that there are very many reason to embrace modular design that has nothing to do with the organisation of the teams.

I certainly hope you have more modules than teams in your organisation.

But I can’t lead armies in battles or travel under the sea or challenge a rival to a swords duel. In such cases I’m accepting the reading as substitute.

It’s certainly true. Our oldest kid had a quite flat head when he was an infant, so we had to get him a special pillow and was advised to try to let him sleep on the side. But it’s nothing that you think about except when you put your hand

No, of course you have to take into account known factors, like sometimes it rains. And if it is difficult to add a new type of release schedule, it is not poor planning, it is a poorly designed system. When we don't know how requireme

Since the nineties they started advise parents that all infants should sleep on the back, which reduced SIDS a lot [0]. But it means that it is is very hard to draw any conclusions at all about other factors. [0] https://safetosl

YAGNI just means that you don’t know how the laws are going to change. All the configurability you add is just going to make the system more expensive and even harder to change the day when the laws are changed, and it wasn’t anything you t

It’s how capitalism works nowadays: I win or you lose. As long as everything is going well, like normal weather or excessive growth of house prices, the capital owners make a lot of money. But when something predictable goes wrong, the bill

Why do you think that less than half the panels will receive sunlight? Also, panels are very cheap today, so their placement doesn’t mean to be optimal. I believe the cost per kWh will be cheaper with panels mounted vertically off the groun

One suggestion I like a lot is making walls with solar panels along highways. They'd reduce sound pollution, hinders wild animals to run into the road while at the same time producing electricity in a space not used for anything else.

In Sweden we used to have a conscription army. It was said that they got really good at leadership and training since they could afford to experiment. If they screwed up one year they could just scrap the whole batch since they anyway got a

We take metric shit tons for granted in our everyday lives. The risk that we will be out of power for more than a few hours where I live is very small, so I chose to save the about $10000 that it cost to install a fireplace and a chimney, s

Audio has the advantage that you can listen while walking, working out, or cleaning up the kitchen. Since I got kids it’s the only way I manage to consume any literature.
