I understand that one can argue semantically whether advisors are "setting policy", but that's not a productive thread to follow, because it isn't relevant to my point. We are all aware that macroeconomists aren't

I thought it would be clear that I was talking about macroeconomists in general, just like GP.

>You cannot simplify anything at the macroeconomic-level to an equation or theorem with a handful of variables or concepts, which macroeconomists want to do. They do this in a 101 class. They absolutely do not use "a handful of var

I think it's a bit disingenuous to pretend the goal of many of these critics is to improve Elm. They are clearly through with the language--as shown in their comments--and that is fine. But they're acting like they got dumped

+1. I almost mentioned Scotch bonnets, too. They're another excellent chili.

In my opinion, habaneros have the best flavor out of any chili. Once you get hotter than that, they don't really get more flavorful. I've tasted Carolina Reapers a few times, and they just had this grassy vibe that wasn't v

Agreed, but whether or not someone is capable of accurately self-assessing how well they've learned a topic depends on how well they've actually learned the topic. This means someone can do a bad job of learning a topic on their o

I'd personally add "autodidact" to that list as well.

If there is only one solution, no progression, and each of the three words is meant to be commonly known, then what is the point in adding an input field to check whether I have the correct answer? If I have my three letters, then I can eas

And if it makes more space for the brain, that should also reduce the risk of concussion. Sounds great to me.

I think the idea is that any set of rules or principles for filtering applications can and will be gamed.

Thanks, this gives me a starting point to find out more about it. Very interesting!

None of this has anything to do with the Tesla Cybertruck.

"Times are tough" is a refrain I've been hearing from employers since the 2009 recession. Somehow the economy is never good from an employer's point of view--just varying degrees of bad--so they can never afford those r

They're not calling 911 over VOIP, they're calling the listed local police lines[0]. >The belief that these are false 911 calls or the narratives that these are 911 calls needs to change, because they’re not calling the 911 sys

It's also tinged with a "People can't handle the based truth I'm laying down" attitude, which is annoying to read.

There seems to be a common assumption that if workers don't like something, they have a moral obligation to keep their mouths shut and "just leave". This assumption is, of course, wrong.

The original commenter was explicit that they liked the theory, not that they were willing to make things up to support it. Those are two completely different things.

I didn't say they are merely speculating; that's a pretty normal thing to do. I said they are "latching on to this theory and making speculations to support it." In other words, they are starting with the conclusion, a

It's the archaeologists saying, “Nobody knows for certain how the Romans used them,” and offering a variety of competing theories, while people on this thread are trying to finesse the facts to support the theory they like. So saying,

A lot of folks in this thread are latching on to this theory and making speculations to support it.

>Compensation is a vector. This misses the point. To go along with your terminology, the problem is that the norm of the vector isn't large enough. But calling it a vector in the first place is pretentious and unnecessary.

It's generally more expensive to buy/rent a smaller place in a metro area near the office and commute there than it is to buy/rent a place with a home office in a more reasonably priced area. When all expenses are considered,

The simplest explanation is that they were just as intelligent and capable as other people of their time, and figured out a way to improve their soil.

One issue is that "Someone else was going to do it" is not a statement of fact, it is a counterfactual. At best, it is a guess, and at worst, it is a lie. But either way, it can't be proven.

Your original statement, that "Each capable adult must be held accountable and responsible for themselves in this world," is a subjective opinion--unless you meant it merely in the sense of a truism--and you did not give me any cr
