I've used newsgroups, mailing lists, forums for 30 years. This has never been a problem on any of them.

No mention of ergodicity economics, which resolves a lot of this. Reinforcement learning was mentioned, which resolves all or nearly all of it.

Not sure how to interpret your comment. There's probably a real bias behind the 'kids these days' phenomenon, but we can get around it just by quantitatively measuring things over time.

There's no question that we've seen some sort of Great Awakening, with politics becoming a de novo religion, and that this activity is almost entirely concentrated on the left (perhaps because of greater competition from establish

I don't know about dead, but they've been in decline since 2013. The U.S. Presidential election in 2016 accelerated it. Most news outlets killed their comments sections around this time.[1] It's certainly less fun to discuss

Not sure how you're using the term "teardown" here. Earlier, you mentioned the cost of the tearing down being a factor. And as I said, I already factored it out entirely. I mentioned the custom home premium upthread. It'

It's routinely done in appraisals where I live too. Doesn't mean it's in any way accurate, as required to make the mechanism in the grandparent comment work.

Almost all property people buy and sell is productively used, and separating the value of land and improvements is practically impossible. Edit: As a weird example, subtracting what it would cost to build my California house from its curren

I didn't make any claims about the state of the world. I asked how energy systems, at issue here, and possible futures, raised in the grandparent comment, should be evaluated. I do think it's a good idea to be a bit explicit when

How do you know it would be a better world? How should we evaluate energy systems? How should we evaluate possible futures?

Don't know why you were downvoted. Induced seismicity is indeed a real issue with this form of geothermal energy, with prominent events in South Korea and Switzerland.

Ah yes, the really really hard-to-get-to nuclear power. Always good to make things sporting.

Santa Clara county has a population density of about 600/km^2, or 0.4 acres per person. If we populate half the Earth's land at this density and make the rest wilderness, world population would be about 50 billion. The Earth has u
