And vice versa: saying it isn't doesn't mean it actually isn't. Opinions are unproductive to discuss without reasoning attached.

Isn't a cooler planet in 50 years worth some amount of money? Nobody _wants_ to pay for trash removal or a sewage system either, because they don't get anything back immediately—maybe a slightly less smelly neighbourhood in a few

I watched it 5 times and can't figure it out. Explain to me this sorcery.

Fun etymology fact: Both Frankfurts get their name from a simple description of the same thing, which they both are instances of: settlements adjacent to a Frankish river ford (place where the river is shallow enough to cross without a bri

Attempting to turn this more constructive: How would you define "actual" progress? None of the results linked above are immediate disease cures, but that's normal. Most research is an unsexy sequence of small increments of pr

Quick review: Very neat presentation. I often work out this sort of thing in my head or on paper. I was confused by the wording initially. "Enter a list of what you want to decide" sounded to me like I should enter separate decis

It sounds like the problem was really about failing to document technical debt. > Doing it properly doesn't take that much more time If you don't have a cutting board for a small thing, surely you wouldn't put your cooking

Anyone else reminded of the shadow games in the original Yu-Gi-Oh manga/anime? There's even a card which art depicts a Senet board! https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Senet_Switch As a kid, I remember getting

I checked the video ( https://youtu.be/tiq0OL8rzso?t=925 at 15:25): She says "日本語を話しますか？", pronounced "Nihongo wo hanashimasuka?" meaning "Do you speak Japanese?", which she also translates for

I'm sure it would be possible to transport animals more gently. Banning live animal transport altogether sounds like an overreaction.

The controllers are in your hands, and they can be tracked as precisely and reliably as your head position. The position of your arms could be concluded from full-body tracking data, but that is imprecise, only supported by some devices, j

Why do you think this is the fault of cryptocurrency?

Yeah, but humans are easy to recycle, and made of renewable resources.

I think it's really fucked up that people have to study law . I'm expected to live by a complex set of rules that only a few understand well enough to reliably navigate, where any transgression might ruin the rest of my life? Al

I'd like to see a version of this that optimises for this problem more globally. Other people exist! e.g. Park further away if you can handle it (arrived on time, and are in good health, and have little luggage). Then people who are

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are usually by design not controlled by anyone but the users participating in mining and trading it. Banning that is like banning people from trading in carrots; you can't. It's very different when th

It's expect many people to have these questions: Why did you start? Why have you continued? What's your current setup? Are you happy with it? What's your routine? Where do you shower, use the toilet, and do laundry? What part

I would guess that the evolutionary advantage of black skin was not primarily camouflage. Tool-using humans of any colour can do that with mud and grass. My bet is on UV tolerance. Black people have lower rates of skin cancer in the US comp

Which part of this story is about that? I'm not seeing the connection. Are you worried that the inmates might be manipulating data?

Yes! Also, YouTube shows you the URIs of deleted videos on playlists, so it's pretty trivial to copypaste them into IA and youtube-dl a copy. I have snatched many things I loved from the jaws of YouTube's copyright enforcement alg
