I think the steelman for this would be something like: people hear factually incorrect assertions with enough frequency from enough different sources and become convinced that these assertions are true. This is basically of the idea of sock

Whether people are more easily fooled by dell.shop dell.computershop.com is a non sequitur from the rather wordy disquisition about why people fall for the scams in general. The eye sees dell first in clear letters for both urls. Their sick

In the interest of this being a place for discussions: I have frequently heard the slogan that the republican efforts to cut federal programs is a major cause of why these programs failure. As I mentioned above, I am sure that such policy i

Which party is that? The one that constantly tries to cut the funding or the one that constantly tries to reward and excuse failure? The republicans in congress threatening to cut programs they don’t like is probably not helping things. But

This is great advice. I deleted everything that has an infinite scroll of new stuff and set my phone on airplane mode where possible. Life is better. I frequently go about with no phone and I have better focus. Paradoxically I now enjoy my

What’s the down side for them? People are paying less than $500 a month in rent for a 2 bedroom. Gives their whole economy a competitive edge.

Thanks for responding. Pining in space requires some tricky 3D math so I get that it is a pain. The multi view thing is also kind of cool since it shows how space distorts. I think I really just wanted to share the warped image so a capture

This is awesome. I see that this is GPL and open on GitHub. Thank you for sharing. If you are open to feature requests that I am too lazy and stupid to accomplish on my own, I would appreciate the option to drop the multi camera view and th

This cool. I grew up about a mile from one of these plants and it is wild to see the old photos. A story from my grandfather (probably not true) is that the week after Pearl Harbor Jack Warner had someone paint on the roof of the Warner Bro

What you are describing sounds an awful lot like Snapchat. I would honestly just download Snap and tour their App since they have already come up with solutions to all of these problems. They aren’t always great solutions, and snap is still

Not sure how risky this really is for the Union. Their software engineers are taking a pay cut for the prestige of working for the most influential newspaper on earth. When your BATNA is getting a 50% pay bump somewhere else then strike awa

This is an old scam, but I would strongly reemphasize that you should not just blindly trust your dentist. Vet them, push back on any operations and get a second opinion.

I think that a tally of endorsements or partisan affiliation is counter productive. That is just a bias toward whichever side had the most interest groups pushing an agenda. Democracy works best when people think for themselves. We defer t

This is really cool and I appreciate the concept. I was pleased to see a friend’s voter guide listed however I was sad to see that the opinions that he had thoughtfully articulated in the email version of his guide are not present here. Thi

An apartment in a major us city costs >4x per more per square foot than the adjacent suburban sprawl. Clearly a lot of people realize the value and are willing to take the financial hit to have it.

Physicists have learned quite a bit about the fundamental structure of the cosmos in the last 500 years. We can get into philosophical quibbles over what is knowledge and the relationship between approximations to reality, but we have clear

Physics is pretty old and it has always been about understanding the fundamental structure of reality. If it doesn’t tell you how it all goes round then it is not physics: plain and simple.

You look back at old movies, and on a technical level they really aren’t as good as contemporary trash productions. But they knew how to weave the camera and a script into something amazing back then even if they didn’t have resolve and aft

This is perfectly legal and the government of Thailand is well aware of this practice (I believe it is only allowed for air entries). The US and the Schengen zone both have limits on stays within a six month period which effectively elimin

The Duckering Hyperbolic Geometry library is also worth digging into: https://github.com/cduck/hyperbolic/ This is organized into a pip module and has a few example ipynb files to get started.

The reason someone is paying you cash for your time and expertise is because they cannot do it. If you can’t do it either then why are they paying you? In these situations you need to be very delicate about explaining the nature of the chal

Paid services for all of these things existed before some global monopoly with insane profits launched competing versions for free.

It’s kinda of arbitrary. For ink:graphite writing top to bottom and right to left has the advantage of not smudging for right handers. For more durable media (carving/etching/chiseling) I think it is more arbitrary.

As an open question when are CD’s the best way to store data? X-ray scans with high resolution and high bit depth take up a lot of space though they are accessed infrequently and always in the full. For a 12x18 600 dpi scan with 64 bit dep

That’s part of it, but America is also a country that routinely achieves economies of scale and loves to build stuff so there is clearly more going on here. Look back at what was commercially and technically available 15 years ago and it is

Why not both? California is actually pretty good about this. We have early voting at select stations, and legal time off on Election Day. A full day off is unnecessary IMO, but a federal legal mandate for 2 hours PTO on Election Day would b

Most services in the US require some proof of identification. It requires 2 forms of government ID to fill out a W2 and we are all more or less fine with this. I really don't see why voting should require less proof of citizenship than
