I'm so sad to see Nowak involved given that his lab's research on evolutionary dynamics is outstanding. It's depressing too to see how many people Epstein influenced and was associated with. It's impossible that none of

Mercurial works correctly but is unbelievably slow compared to git. If you don't think about performance ahead of time (preferably at the algorithm level) then you will build something correct but slow and it'll be very hard to ma

Git won because it's superior in a way that many programmers think doesn't matter: performance. Git is incredibly fast. Many operations happen almost instantaneously even on large repositories. It's really nice. I've hea

"Premature optimization is the root of all evil" is one of those programming sayings that's very often misunderstood. It does not mean that performance doesn't matter or that you shouldn't think about performance.

It's a pure creation of the media, which has spent the better part of 50 years terrifying parents with panic after panic. The reality is that crime is much lower today and yet we are more afraid of crime than ever.

The NIMBYs in California are mostly older and middle class. The oligarchs happen to mostly be on the right side at least on this particular issue. I really think a big elephant in the room on this issue is racism. Restricting housing supply

My cynical take is that we just have to wait out the boomers. We changed and grew in every way until they took over and everything stopped. I think it will restart when they retire.

That's a failure of urban planning too. Either better infrastructure is needed or density needs to be located closer to good infrastructure. NIMBY planners in California are opposed to both. They block construction near high capacity t

What logic could that person possibly be following? It's just mind boggling. In any case, that's why I want to see local planning just abolished. These people are so clueless or self-serving (not sure which, don't care) that

Build more period. I will rejoice the day the state just revokes planning from local communities. I hate to say that because it feels horrible, but local communities in California run zoning in the most incompetent and self serving way.

Washing all that stuff in usual ways would use tons of water and soap and energy. It's possible that the cost of washing reusable containers would exceed the cost (in energy/resources as well as money) of making disposable plastic

That's what gets me about it. They don't seem to be lying. I've always thought WeWork was more some kind of odd way for VCs to get exposure to Real Estate and have it look like a tech investment.

Cars are around half of oil consumption. They are a huge part of the transportation industry in terms of CO2 emitted. They are also the most rapidly growing part.

Russia seems to be trying to build crazy dead hand nuclear cruise missiles and America is talking openly about militarizing space. I would say we are back on the entrance ramp to that route. Maybe we both figure it's a way to get GDP u

What would be the strategic advantage of a nuclear cruise missile? Couldn't a cruise missile of any kind be shot down by a fighter plane? Seems easier to deflect than an ICBM, which they already have in abundance.

Honestly I think the low hanging fruit would be to put 115V outlets in at apartment complexes that have designating parking spaces. Just normal 115V, which is usually already wired at or near the spot.
