It definitely does, but even a decade of high stress vs not having to worry about money for the rest of your life could be a very fair stress trade.

The phone usage thing also affects European countries though. Large cars becoming more common is an issue more unique to the US.

Dogs also have unusually high endurance actually, some breeds extremely so like sled dogs (up there in the top three with humans and horses). In general wolves are already pretty high up there endurance wise, and dogs probably had an evolut

It probably will yes. But it’s also measured against the heavily increased suicide risk of trans people who aren’t able to transition.

Agreed on this, by far the largest benefit from a utility standpoint from my programming language design course was increased understanding of errors.

The annoying truth is that what the correct fingering is changes depending on your hand size. So the real thing to learn is “what’s the right way to hold your hand and body at a keyboard to not cause long term damage” and then see what fing

Neither of those are a pure Computer Science course, they are “and engineering” or “and informatics”. There are similar courses in the US that teach computer science alongside more practical skills. It’s ultimately a matter of the focus of

It’s a convenient way to store and sort lots of curl requests for later use, its best cases are when you’ve got libraries of APIs you interact with semi-regularly (but not in such a consistent way that you’d be better off just writing a scr

SIDS is very poorly understood, but highest probability seems to be that it’s not germ related but related to breathing (more like complex sleep apnea for infants, where sometimes a baby has a messed up breath response. This tracks with SID

Metaphorically you should aim to be the second out the door really. It’s the first person out the door who starts the run, and starting the run is rarely rational. Once the run has begun, yeah you should aim to be out the door fast. Unfortu

Samsung is a South Korean company so...of course they'll build it in South Korea? Not really any reasonable places to build such a project in SK without being close to their local crazy communist dictatorship.

It’s a long standing hate for me that isn’t limited to just Docker, companies that used “we’re free” to obtain massive growth only to turn around and switch monetization models completely once they’ve become the dominant player in the marke

There have been complaints about the SAT for how easy a test it is to game (get an SAT specific tutor who teaches you how to ace the test while not needing you to learn anything of actual value) for ages. No idea about the LSAT or the GRE t

Are’t they? They’re very bad at it due to awful memory, minimal ability to parse things, and generally limited cognition. But they are capable of coming up with bespoke solutions to problems that they haven’t encountered before, such as “ho

Would that example even require deliberate programming though? If you took a bunch of random data from the web, “Dislikes smoking but likes skydiving and driving” is very much what I would expect the most common text to be.

It’s about to revolutionize the world, yes. What you described is what this sort if approach is good at: acting as a repository and reformatter for already existing human knowledge. But that doesn’t mean it’s an AGI, because as the person y

Well even if one belives there is such a thing as a good litrpg, anyone who likes the genre is going to have read those already. So yeah any litrpg connoisseur is going to be looking for recommended bad ones.

It's for this reason that Google's ad business isn't really in danger at the moment, yes. People are going to continue to use google search and gmail and chrome. But having this reputation in the tech bubble negatively effect

Yeah I think a lot of people confuse the overweight category with the obese category in these discussions.

Main problem with your logic is that it assumes a situation where most people are having kids. Given the situation in Scandinavia is that many people aren’t having children, you end up in a situation where everyone is being taxed to fund ch

That’s sort of an orthogonal idea in my mind. Yes, the Federal Government has a list of the types of things it is allowed to pursue. This is a separate idea from the bill of rights, which essentially says “while the federal government is do

First thought is that bank’s make their money from loans. As such the primary way they attract their actual customers is to keep interest rates as low as possible. Second thought is that the reason they want people to store their money with

I don’t know why “isn’t for everyone” is shorthand for “is something only a small subset of the population will enjoy”, in American English, but for some reason it is. And no, I’d rather people make extremely interesting games that will be

It’s not the right to due process that stops the FBI from gathering whatever data they want on you (all the right to due process says is that your life, liberty, and property can’t be abridged without due process of law) The right to privac

It’s essentially one of those “Alice, Mary, And Bob could be at one of three locations” puzzles, just with more than 70 people, a much more complex set of things for the locations, and instead of simple sentences as clues you have last word

You’re talking about games that have extremely limited axis of movement, while yes anyone can eventually go extremely fast with them, initially your options are so limited that learning is trivial. Outer Wilds is one of the few games with t

I don’t think you need to love video games to love Obra Dinn, a lot of what makes it weird and hard to play are the things that make it unlike any other video game. It’s definitely a game for people who love complex puzzles and have a lot o

For me while State Income tax was an interesting part of the decision, ultimately it was easily consumed by the massive difference in house prices (and as such rent) between different locations. Which is probably part of the retiree questio

It’s not a new technology, but it’s a technology built so infrequently that none of the benefits of being an old technology have been able to develop. We don’t have people experienced in creating the plants, we don't have standard temp

Sure, but the point of the rest of those words was to show that to get a 20 million surplus over 5 decades requires, at absolute maximum, .3% of the US to move to California per year in that time frame. (Or more accurately .3% more of the p
