I scanned the thread a bit and can second this. I am originally from Ohio the type and extremity of right wing ideas present there seemed far to the right of anything typical in the midwest. There are KKK types and similar in Ohio of course

I recall reading a while back that there is in fact a "too much emotion" school of thought on autism. The idea is that the autistic learn to totally deaden their emotions as a defense mechanism because the alternative is too inten

Exactly. "I believe in science" is nonsensical and should be "I practice science."

Oh yeah, it's a well known personality tic of Wolfram to the point that it's a joke. He'd be full blown "iamverysmart" if he were not actually smart. If he had a sense of humor about it and started knowingly self-pa

Podcasting is probably the closest thing right now to the authenticity, diversity, and creativity of the early web. There's a massive diversity of podcasts out there on every subject and even many of the purely amateur ones are of very

Would any be theoretically viable? I imagine a cyst gets blown into space from time to time but wouldn't last long in a radiation filled vacuum. Solar UV radiation is intense without the atmosphere. It's why space suit visors look

Grow some grapes exclusively with heavy water and then try it. See if you can make some grape neutrons.

So can we make fusion with high powered microwaves and grapes? Heh.

Does this just reduce join bandwidth? If so it's a minor improvement since the real problems with scalability are transaction size and proof of work cost per TX.

You got downvoted for snark but it is quite important to draw attention to the fact that mouse results seldom map straight onto humans. This is particularly true for aging drugs since mice are shorter lived anyway and their aging is faster

The housing glut simply means housing is overpriced, which is something that's true to varying degrees in most cities globally. The fact that this is happening even when there are so many empty units shows that this isn't a simple

That's a bit better but only tends to apply within limited domains. I've met a chemistry Ph.D that would be quite knowledgeable and likely correct when it comes to inorganic chemistry but who believes that the Earth is 6000 years

If that's the case then the downvoters dreadfully misread my post. That's not what I was saying at all. I was pointing out that bad ideas can be held by people regardless of their raw intelligence.

"From what I’ve observed, really smart people tend to be right, and you can safely accept their viewpoints." What? I couldn't believe this statement. It completely neglects the massive differences that exist between people of

They are cheaper in general though, so it's probably still cheaper than most alternatives with similar services.

TL;DR: we don't understand genetics well enough to make definite statements about the degree to which genes determine phenotypes, how this happens, how malleable or environmentally influence-able it is, etc. As a result we should not d

SQL is so long lasting because its math, sort of. It's a language for expressing data relationships in a very systematic logical and set theoretic way, not a random ad hoc hack. Its syntax is a bit old fashioned and I do think efforts

We've been trying to do that. The problem is that macroeconomic inflation is a big sausage number that doesn't really say much about the reality on the street. Take a look at this: http://thesoundingline.com/why-in

I think "everything" is an exaggeration, but it's not entirely wrong. The main sectors to experience runaway inflation have been health care, college tuition, and real estate in major cities. Housing is a necessity while the

The housing number is a national average. If you look at major cities housing has done what health care and college tuition has done. The general phenomenon described by this article is something I've heard referred to as "in-defl

I consider this debate an unresolved issue in economics. We don't know how to create a genuinely balanced and productive economy. Option #1: deflationary economy where monetary velocity collapses and with it employment, investment, and

For the past 10-15 years there has been a broad based trend toward authoritarianism. I see it on both the left and the right. Most libertarians seem to have become either fascists or authoritarian socialists. What you see in forums reflects

Maybe they are bag holders. I am still long term somewhat bullish on the tech but I can't see any of the current generation working beyond niche use. Its not just efficiency but also economics. They are significantly more deflationary

Does LN still have that crazy design where if you lose connectivity your deposit could be lost? Also doesn't it make Bitcoin even more hyper-deflationary by forcing money to be locked up in LN nodes?
