It would probably take quite some time to prove, but I suspect depression, alcoholism, etc would improve a bit with more “access” to daylight. No one enjoys seeing the sun set by 5, but it probably has a more profound impact on a further su

The amount of fraud in the statistics coming out of Silicon Valley companies is really shocking. Really? There’s an HBO show in its fourth season predicated largely on the premise of SV hypocrisy and bad behavior.

I’ve adapted my tone to the forum in question, but it’s true that I need to work on making my manner more robotic and increasing overall passive aggression, thanks!

You should read Liu Cixin’s The Three Body Problem I think you’d enjoy it.

“In other words” No, just what I said, although clearly it fell short of what you’d like to hear.

Does it matter? The answer is still, “at least an order of magnitude less than Bill...”

Actually vote, as a group, in your own best self interest... not for people like Trump. Hold representatives to account, and put money and votes where the mouths are.

I am sorry that so many women feel wronged by me... This whole thing opens with the classic of all scumbag apologies, “I’m sorry for how you feel.” I’m not sure that this is much of a jumping off point for good discussion, as much as it i

Evidence supporting the claims in terms of degree and scope. I find most telling of all the fact that I’ve gotten every kind of response except that. Twitter links, anecdote, and being told that I should just search for myself, in other wo

Asking for evidence commensurate to a claim is posturing? Edit: Claiming that you are right and someone else is wrong because they don't have evidence is posturing. Where did I claim to be right, rather than ask for evidence to suppo

A pattern within something as vast as our higher education system, and that’s it? Followed by the classic deflection of all those without a leg stand on, “find it yourself” to boot? This site has such incredible ups, but the downs are equ

How about some concrete examples of all of that? If it’s that common you should be able to reference them like crazy. Show me evidence of this growing pattern. Edit: downvote away, but show me the evidence.

A lot of big games are also turning out to be so compromised by microtransactions and related mechanics that the only sane response is apathy. Look at how a modern Ubisoft game is structured... it's really ugly. I have a friend who pla

85 + Skylab = Win? I think most of us can agree on that.

This is the core of my thinking on the matter. How big could life forms like these become? Interesting thoughts require not only a complex brain, but also sufficient time for formulation. The speed of neural transmissions is about 300 kilo

helicopter prototype was off (just needed different shape propeller, additional stabilizing propeller and proper weight distribution)... And an ENGINE!

Absolutely! Frankly I'd argue that feeding your students should be a universal no-brainer anyway, especially when they can't afford it themselves. We know too damned much about the link between ability to learn and retain informat

Education would make some of these people employable in the first place, and in jobs which a handful of robot arms can’t do better.

At the same time, self driving cars could use the roads more efficiently (once they make up most traffic). That last step is quite a doozy though.

A few generations of really focused, quality education would help a lot more. Until then, I'm afraid it's a bit of a mess.

when Leonardo da vinci sketched out a parachute or a helicopter-looking self propelling device prototypes that took 500 years to actually build - what did contemporaries think of him? A lot; he was widely recognized as a genius in his own

Outside of SV and offline, most people have never heard of Soyoent and find it freakish more often than not. Edit: I’m not judging myself, just reporting. I think it probably does the job for people who want it, and doesn’t harm the rest of
