Presumably the person with latent schizophrenia would see it emerge at later date even if they didn't take psychedelics. If the drug is only making symptoms emerge earlier, the cost of the trip is only however many years of sanity you

That's not what is meant. Twitter was originally an SMS service, which would text you whenever someone you followed posted a tweet. In order for you to be able to tell who had posted each tweet, the message had to contain the poster&#

Yes, agreed, indoor smoking is annoying. It also may have health consequences for people who are constantly excited to it, like restaurant staff. It's reasonable and in my opinion desirable for indoor venues to prohibit smoking. I like

It is simply not true that the smell is disgusting for nonsmokers in general. I know too many nonsmokers who like the smell of a cigarette outdoors, and will try to get closer if they see someone smoking as they walk by to enjoy the smell

I tried Debian about a year ago hoping to share your insight, but I discovered that if I wanted to understand how to configure some piece of software, I had to look at both the Debian documentation and the upstream documentation for it, and

Can you explain why hiring women who are just as good as, if not better than, men at the job, but who would prefer (on average) to work elsewhere, perhaps somewhere with more women employees, would make the business do worse? In the secti

It's an unreasonable reading. If you read past the tl;dr you see that none of the differences in traits he talks about are about ability, just interest, so interpreting it as "women aren't as good" is wrong.

Just composing proper XHTML was never enough to be very useful. The way that XHTML was promoted to web developers (my impression, I was only around for the tail end), was as merely a stricter version of HTML, and that's how IE implemen

Not sure if this exists on modern MacOS, but you used to be able to move three fingers along the glass without clicking to drag. I think you had to enable the gesture.

I check the front page multiple times a day and I have no idea what you're talking about. If you just mean that it shows up on /new then shouldn't it be expected?

It would be irresponsible to operate entirely off of crowdfunded cash because that money could go a lot farther if properly invested. If you invest, then sometimes you need more cash that you have on hand. You could sell some of your assets

That's not a reasonable definition of meritocracy. "I guess thats how meritocracy works" sounds like you're saying "meritocracy is a good thing, but look at how bad the outcomes are, or at least how bad the outcomes

We're not talking about the same "pattern matching" because even those examples are pattern matching. You have breeds of dogs and a dog is either one breed or another or it's a hybrid/mutt. But at what point in the

As the volume of the battery grows larger, the battery's mass grows cubically while the mass of the armor shielding it grows quadratically. It's nothing like the rocket equation problem.

I hadn't realized that the incentive structures could make it possible for an organization apart from the energy producer to run such a facility. An elegant application of market economics.

Also, we only consider the extinction to be "over" (the point at which we can declare who is and is not a survivor) when the only theropods left were birds, so this definition is circular. This is the problem with trying to derive

There are many ways to compose promises, no point in elevating some of them to keyword status. If you need to do anything interesting with promises, just use a promises library. The point of async/await is to free you from having to us

First of all, it's a strawman - just because you're focusing on the present in general doesn't mean you're unable to look at the past or future, and just because you're focusing on the past/future in general d
