May I recommend Wales as a lovely vacation spot for you?

Just don’t make the mistake of confusing humility and self-deprecation. That can easily become career limiting.

We are talking about a US navy that’s got a solid reputation for unnecessarily ramming ships into each other. It doesn’t beggar belief that the ball could get dropped.

I can fairly easily picture “something,” but it’s always extremely protean. During meditation for example I sometimes picture Calvary, but the forms are just constantly shifting around that theme. I certainly can’t just picture an apple and

Unless you're running for office. In that case you can lie to your heart's content about what you're offering.

No, libel in the US is very hard to fight because Sullivan is terrible jurisprudence.

The reality of course is there is no public domain to speak of in the USA, except for abandoned works, unless you have vast financial resources. Suppose the early Disney stuff somehow actually enters the public domain. Anyone that tries to

Maybe pick an analogy that isn’t picture perfect for starting a flame war? I don’t think it edifies anyone to bring that debate into a discussion about intellectual property rights.

You'd be wrong. Medicaid is fantastic. No copays (nominally there are, but you can just not pay, which obviously street junkies opt for), no premiums, full service. The only drawback is it represents a kind of prisoner's dilemma d

But it doesn't. The troublemakers are a tiny percentage of the population. I guarantee the local cops know every single one of them. But there's no mechanism for diverting them from making trouble so here we are.

It’s going to be hilarious when Elon starts deplatforming executives that boycott X ads from Tesla.

When I was focused on growing muscle mass I ate around 200-250 grams of dietary protein a day. It was a chore. I had to eat well past satiety every meal. And this was on an 1800 calorie diet, so it was basically just lean protein and low gl

This doesn’t say if it was done in a metabolic ward so I assume it wasn’t. Self reporting is so notoriously unreliable that any results outside of a metabolic ward are best ignored. Also weight isn’t even the right metric. Body composition

Of course it does if they have willingly chosen to participate in its ledger game and use its services.

Nuclear power is used to provide baseline grid capacity. You can't just burn more or less uranium/plutonium as demand changes with the reactors that are in service. On the margins the surge demand largely comes from hydrocarbons,

Since you appear to be asking in good faith, despite this being a frankly irrationally hostile environment whenever the subject comes up, I’ll answer. The raw data shows no warming trend. NOAA and NASA admit this, it’s not a conspiracy theo

Some of it, but not all of it or even the majority[1]. For reference some breads bake in as little as 20 minutes so a fair bit of alcohol remains. [1] https://www.isu.edu/news/2019-fall/no-worries-the-alcohol-bu...

Many people don’t realize that yeast leavened bread is about 1% alcohol and as high as 2%. Obviously we let children eat it. Why would small beer at the same percentage be a problem?

Those costs will also be incomes from good high paying healthcare jobs for younger Japanese. A wealth transfer from the old to the young is eusocial. Remember that every expenditure is somebody else’s income! Japan has its own central bank

Why? Shrinking population reliably leads to greater quality of life for the masses. The mass deaths of the plague catapulted the surviving Europeans into an affluent middle class. Japan has the benefit of a much more controlled population d

I would state that as an iterative procedure can be recursive or not. There are no recursive processes executed by any extant silicon that aren't iteration with a, potentially optional, stack. And once you look at procedures that u

It’s a bit of a tangent, but this reminds me of the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist[1] which is a good example of food commodity wealth in modern times. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Canadian_Maple_Syrup_H.

I find the denialism around the great man theory somewhat baffling. Does anyone really believe, just for one example, that Apple computer would be what it is today without Steve Jobs?

Just for reference a talent was worth about 20 years wages. So while comparing currency values across vast stretches of time is inaccurate, it wouldn’t be totally wrong to consider a talent about $1 million in today’s US dollars.

Recursion is just a species of iteration for a computing scientist. It's the kind of iteration with an implicit stack (that may be elided for tail calls). There is nothing special about "the stack" other than that pretty much
