That said, we're supposedly overdue for a field reversal, which may make the whole field go out on its own: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal So satellites or no, something might happen to it anyw

It's hard to turn off your car in a traffic jam, efficiency is getting cars off the road. And those transit options are often horrible for the disabled. The fight against self-driving cars is especially shortsighted. But yeah, wantin

This is why I don't like the term "forever chemicals" because it's not clear what it covers and it feels like a marketing term.

Microsoft doesn't like taking "no" for an answer. No matter what setting or app you try to get out of your way, they default it back at some point to bother you. No, I'm not going to use Edge. No, I don't want to

It very much feels like a "no one ever got fired for buying IBM" type of scenario sometimes.

The site has lots of recommendations, but doesn't seem to give much engineering behind the recommendations or mention any testing, just a handful of random stats. They don't seem to acknowledge the tradeoffs in some goals, either

I didn't realize that many people died per day, but it makes sense given how many people are doing the all black at night thing and playing Frogger with traffic. I do think people underestimate how well the lights can blind you to pede

I understood that to be an unusual configuration that was unintentional, but the Swiss cheese model of failure says that accidents always happen when too many bad things align.

I've driven on Mill Rd. plenty of times, and it actually is hard to see pedestrians who have a bad habit of walking around wearing all black at night because they don't want to use the crosswalks that may be 1/2 mile away. T

Oil isn't easily replaced, though. It's not just energy, there are all the products derived from it. If you shut it off suddenly, things would collapse. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to replace it, but if we had easy r

You'll be a little less than half as old if you pretend to be a Martian with their 687 Earth days per Martian year. Just don't go with Neptune, it takes almost 165 years before you turn 1 there.

It's interesting that they don't share what the name in the software of this is, but GP's point appears to be that "Elon mode" is editorializing that and this seems supported by the fact that they're not giving

Economically it's doing much better than even most of the USA, though there's a question of how long that might last.

Better for whom is the key question, I think. They're quite eager to do something about Taiwan which showed how much better China could be doing.

Most contracts I've seen have a clause in them saying that the agreements are final and any modifications have to be in writing and signed by whomever to modify the agreement. I have no idea if there's one like that in play here,

I thought I remembered a method using radioactive mercury instead, but yeah, not really fun times.

Wow, that is some amazingly terrible legal reporting. A complaint surviving a motion to dismiss is a very low bar and does nothing to prove how the final ruling will go.

A friend of mine took a bus to visit me recently. He spent many extra hours because a bus driver saw someone in line smoking, then just abandoned everyone at the stop for that. Plenty of strange people demanded his seat & ticket and i

I'm thinking we should teach more people do-calculus, to make stats less confusing by breaking the symmetry between observations and interventions.

I meant it for the historical aspect thereof, but it's fair to want to keep that out of the discussion.

No, there were actual textbooks used in classes too.

That's fair, I will try to do better, but this is a hard one to discuss neutrally. There's a huge mess, it has long been a huge mess, and a lot of people want to focus on only half of the story.

It's weird to describe Israel as an "ethnostate" when it has a large population of Israeli Arabs who live there peacefully that nobody is trying to get rid of. If Palestine wants to live in peace, they can just stop attackin

Israel has allowed civilian aid in, does "knocking" to reduce deaths from their bombing, supplied the water Palestine was using to begin with, etc. so when Hamas fighters have literally been robbing the civilians of the food aid,

Only if you want to claim that words are more revealing of intentions than actions, which would discredit you. The hospital they bombed had the parking lot damaged by a failed Hamas rocket. The "refugee camp" has been there for m
