Eh, you can't reconcile 'nobody reads all that text on dialog boxes' with 'using names like "Developer Tools" just drives people away who are not interested in being labeled "developers"'. I seri

The only reason for that is difficulty of getting prescription for human version and then difficulty filling it (because of blue pilled pharmacists). Remove those impediments and you'll reduce incidence of poisonings in half (from 4 ca

Remember the swiss cheese model? Or lockdowns to manage the curve? Those 30% could be reduced. Also whatever percentage had bad cases because of vitamin D deficiency. Yet no messaging on staying healthy at all... Because since not everyone

lol, elephants would be wiped out in a few years if they start doing something like that. First rule of dealing with humans is not to be too effective at it.

I don't think there is anything implicit in this phrase anymore -- it quite explicitly accuses someone of posturing instead of paying the honest price for signaling. For example, a peacock's tail is a honest fitness signal -- it d

People are not usually saying getting covid is better (not without many qualifiers anyway), they are saying that if you already had covid, getting shots might have bad risk/benefit ratio. (you get all the risk for small additional prot

I think fiberoptics is one thing that benefits from microgravity.

Might be related to the way modern art is ugly by design. Since it became easy to create beautiful things at scale, the "art" appreciation scene moved into ugly stuff, because only sophisticated art experts can appreciate the stuf

I recently visited downtown there, after spending a year in suburbs due to obvious reasons. Even magpies in downtown are disheveled and downtrodden. I'm not making that up... If you avoid downtown and like suburbs it's a nice city

Instead coal plants working normally slowly pump more radiation into atmosphere than occasionally exploding nuclear plants...

To be fair, with policies like mandating masking outside, or banning outdoor activities long after it was known there virtually no outdoor transmission, or forcing vaccinations on people who had covid already, or deafening silence on any he

You have the same chance of hitting right combination if you enter 12345 or a random number chosen by a wall of lava lamps. But you have lower expected return since more people will use 12345 than your particular random number. Expected ret

Interesting, I haven't noticed writing style being especially challenging. Mostly because I'm not a native english speaker and read a lot of fantasy/sci-fi/etc books in english. They _all_ start off like "and then g

Check if this has anything to do with memory compression. I think at some point windows 10 decided to compress memory (even if it has lots on hand) and it can lead to such delays. It shouldn't happen all the time though, just first tim

Do you expect significant drop in oil price if plastic was getting burned? I'd think it would displace things like coal first...

What do you think about off-planet solutions (like space mirrors, etc)? Dealing with temperature regulation would mitigate a lot of negative effects of hight CO2.

I think if you rotate the disk at maximum speed ignoring all material material properties, all points on disk will approach speed of light and you will end up with "spin through" because layers won't be able to maintain same

It is possible that anti-parasitic action is what causes those disparities -- if parasites are widespread and cause complications with covid, then treating whole population with an anti-parasitic drug would improve outcomes. So India and Af

To support your point: there are cells that get direct fitness feedback. They call them cancer.

Yeah, most expensive choice, unless you count externalities of coal.

Haven't read his books, I must have gotten his ideas by osmosis. Now reading criticism of the books on his wiki page, I think his critics are not concerned with environment any further than it aids their real case if the quote below is

What ruined nuclear reputation is environmentalists who don't actually care for environment.

There is a species of environmentalism that would consider successful fusion or similar high tech mega scale energy source actually detrimental because you can't build one in your hippy community using old tractor parts and alternative

Actually paying income taxes where you live kinda makes sense, since those taxes are used mostly for local services and such. Alternative is to merge provinces and just have one national level system.

Just wait for full vaccine passport rollout and use that... All the same problems and effects as with mandatory IDs (plus more), but people usually worrying about that don't care. A perfect tool for a policy change.

While legally we are probably far away from this being a fraud, nothing stops google from adding something to their TOS and banning your account on that basis... This is the only reason I'm not using those noise generators even though
