The poster above is trying to say that luxury branding has to have at least a veneer of justification for its pricing. The $1000 painted tree stump supposes its own value as a piece of art. A $1000 watch might cost $200 to produce, but it&#

This is splitting hairs. 40% of Americans can't come up with $400 but luckily a majority of those know a financial institution that can come up with $400 for them. Anyone who does not have an emergency $400 is not going to have a gre

That makes sense but maybe we don't need that explanation. It could really be possible that the best-designed decision making robot would use confidence as a heuristic. It would fail in the same ways we fail, but it would probably perf

I mean, you would also have millions of people spending 5 hours riding between bus stops every day. Cars are a bare necessity due to how badly we fucked up urban planning. And we fucked it up because we planned around cars.

This is an astonishingly bad title by the publisher, tortured out by multiple nonsequitors.

This comment furthered my confusion that the title was referring to some kind of astrophysical phenomenon.

The lack of empathy around this issue is baffling. If you don't want women to be cold, kill the stupid dress code for men. Otherwise, women just have to wear borderline cold-weather clothing at the office because the men are already we

I'm not saying it's a panacea. But we can't begin to see a better YouTube, or a better internet without fixing copyright laws. The instant we start fining companies or possibly arresting individuals for filing false copyright

Pretty much. The current legal definition seems to make the assumption that when the founders sat around writing the constitution, one of them looked up and asked for a nice punchy way to say "the complete domain of reality from the gr

Sometimes you feel like you aren't ready because you aren't ready. This seems like advice for people who have enough money to fail repeatedly, or post-hoc advice from people who spun the chamber and survived. There's this ide

That's pretty irrelevant. It's a good heuristic for finding an idiot right now, not in the Bronze Age.

People like creationists, conspiracy nuts, or racists consistently know nothing about their pet topics, or if they know a lot, they suffer from incredible flaws in reasoning. It's always surprising to me how consistent this is, but the

I think you can still understand that in the framework of a social contract. Sure you can go break the social contract, but if you choose to do so, we happen to have manhunters that attack and capture you (police). If you don't want to

A knife can easily lethally wound someone before they can react, and before people nearby can help. Are you trying to argue with the idea that forks are safer than knives? Like yeah you can kill someone with a push-pin or a howitzer, but wh

There are people who consider Mauna Kea to be sacred and there's not really anything that could argue against a specific person's particular belief. However I will say that there is no widespread religious activity involving the t
