This is certainly a factor with any investment, because they may only be able to effectively utilize a certain amount of assets. With that being said, I think that it is a reasonable expectation that investing into the area would inflate t

That is pretty awesome. I've only worked remotely from a place where everybody is based in the same office, but I think your place addresses the big lack of social interactions that usually accompanies remote work. On a side note, I&#

I don't mean to disagree with the entirety of your point, only that distribution is itself a problem to be solved. And even the organizations that you list are only designed to take it from willing donations to the desired causes. Eac

The problem isn't total resources, it's effective resource allocation. Even if Americans spent $0 on bottled water next year, it still takes organization and effort to somehow divert all of those small bottled water purchases to

Even if we accept the premise that he doesn't deserve any credit for his donations because it is his duty to society, I still find that it is more useful to admire and encourage this behavior from a practical standpoint. At the end of

I'd be interested to know if it was the same people speaking on both occasions though, because it is entirely possible that different sentiments being expressed was a result of different people expressing sentiment, rather than the sam

Wow, I really like this idea. It could open up entire new segments of products that improve with some occasional needs for cellular network capabilities. I've never been taken by the idea of getting a gadget that can use a cellular d

I see the distinction you're making (I think), but I still don't see how that invalidates GP's analogy. Surely "running" a wavefunction is computationally cheaper than re-evaluating the particle's characterist

I imagine that it is in part because it's easier to fret over the polling numbers than it is to convince someone supporting the opponent that they're wrong.

that's the thing, at the point that the computer is already that good, missing that one accident isn't optimal sure, but it's definitely better than the current state of vehicle operation.

Isn't this the case of any business? Strictly speaking, they're profit generating machines. That's the purpose of regulation is to offset this equation by some amount that makes the equation balanced where society collectiv

But you can't have a doughnut in two dimensions either, the two sides would have to be separated by the hole or else it's not really a doughnut, it's just a circle without a digestive system.

An important point to be sure, although you don't exactly keep the max. It's more of a press-your-luck type of operation where you can't necessarily revert back to the max if you've already left it. Still a very valid

I agree with you in theory about the utility of higher education, but it falls apart when you start to consider (at least in the US) the practical system in which it exists. People are taking on debt in order to go to college and the fact

While I agree that I see no reason to forgive these loans as opposed to any other education loans, I just wanted to point out that the taxpayers would not be suffering twice in this case because the only "suffering" that the taxpa

Hmm. Yeah, it does read from this analysis that it seems to be more of a fear rather than a confirmed fact. At this point they may be just being overly cautious I suppose. From the abstract they seem to rule out a lot of the posed threats

That's true I suppose, laws are a lot harder to redact than to enact, so we should take care not to over-legislate. That being said, I think it's still an applicable scenario in this case due to the potentially society scale threa

It's not necessarily unhealthy to an individual person, it's the effect that it has on the surviving bacteria. These soaps are dangerous to society as a whole because they become less effective the more widespread their usage is

It's already proven that it's harmful. In the same that that overprescribing antibiotics is harmful. It artificially selects for bacteria resistant to these chemicals, which makes them less effective. So the ball was back in th

Well, the big one is that it's a joint effort as a society to not continually strengthen bacteria by selecting for strains that are resistant to these antimicrobials.

I presume email, and that GP misspoke when they said "model" and meant a file that the key could be modeled and printed from. That being said, that solution definitely skirts the intention of the puzzle, but would certainly work

Interestingly enough, I think you missed one of the more important points by focusing only on the stop signs. Red lights can't be red lights to everyone in a lot of places simply by the nature of their construction. It's why t

I'm not so sure I agree. If you crank up the prices, a lot of users who are users because of those prices will just stop being users. You don't exactly have a good way to lock users into it, so this strategy doesn't seem

In a way, those can both be true simultaneously. Just from the assumptions that the "established powers" make more money by modifying the kid implies that even if modifying the kid's environment cost $0, it would "cost&

We obviously need some sort of line drawn. Expressing your view should definitely be okay, whether others agree with it or not. Mass harassment is entirely different. It's like how speech isn't protected when you're orderi

The thing is, none of this is pioneered by the federal government because "it isn't their job/place" because we have the state governments that are supposed to pioneer these things. I don't think that is an argumen

I am not entirely sure how the calculations are done in order to determine the information contained in the genome of HIV, but my suspicion is that the reason this is more dense is due to the genome containing more than binary bits. I&#x27
