The most galaxy brain moment is when you realize that the repitition is not only purposeful but thematically crucial.

Gundam is its own brand of weird, and while each series falls prey to toy commercial necessities (nary a protag old enough to drink), there is plenty of substance and a whole lot of flash to be found, and the focus on (critiquing) militaris

It's amazing to see mainstream America discover, with our television Renaissance, what most otaku knew and took for granted since the 90s. I hear family talk about the latest It Show, and it's almost word for word what you would h

"Like his friend and like his son, Mike strongly believes in caring for what and who are already here. In every one of the many conversations we have from May 2020 to February 2021, he shares with me, in his quiet, passionate voice, hi

I don't think that suffices, because I have never heard European countries described as "undeveloped" (perhaps "underdeveloped"), if that. The benefit of the doubt usually orbits a common sentiment, and in this case

That's a fair assessment. I have to imagine that the design distinction of "complexes" (with, as you said, limited direct access to streets) rather than "neighborhoods" contributes. Such layouts make it more difficu

I'm not sure what else, "It's still a long way to go, especially for undeveloped countries," is meant to imply, but feel free to posit alternatives.

Those look not unlike American social housing on the East Coast (not NYC). I suspect structural concerns outside the building's design (primarily support for the people living in and maintaining them) are an important input. Edit: Here

The interesting thing about this dynamic is that you'll often have people who can formulate cutting arguments on the spot, used against someone who is slower but who tends to think more deeply, given enough time. So, with some thought,

The one I hate, but that seems to be taking over anyway: the use of "up" rather than "raise."

You would be surprised. At a previous job, we would receive guests from all around the world, and particularly from African, Asian, South American, and 2nd-tier European countries. The Africans and SEAs were by far the most consistently, fl

The Two Minute Papers YouTube channel covers new research related to (visual) simulation and AI. It's like a weekly mini-Siggraph. https://youtube.com/c/K%C3%A1rolyZsolnai

There are apparently multiple speech pathologists that have trained their pets to communicate with buttons that speak a given word when pressed. I can't tell if they're grifts or not, but I want to believe.

I think the general understanding is that the visceral animosity has to do with the nature of the betrayal. His fund was shopped around largely to other wealthy people in his community; they thought they were making money hand-over-fist (pa

This is true of much of the justice system. Penalties aren't meant to curb certain specific behaviors, they're meant to be used as general control mechanisms for people who can't wiggle out of punshiment by one means or anoth

Too-high GDP seems to result in a de facto aristocracy which claws as much of the wealth as possible to themselves, an issue which becomes more intractable over time re: Piketty. At both the macro and micro scale, quality of life seems to p

Of tangential note, you may be able to better make your point by assuming that User 2 doesn't use Apple products rather than Netflix.

It's a way to engage in activity that is superficially distinct enough that the law has not yet caught up with it, like driving for Uber or owning an AirBNB. It remains to be seen if the "innovation" in question is tangential

Putting the contract on the blockchain allows it to be traded like, but not as, a security while the SEC et al. drag their feet on classifying crypto-tokens as securities. Something like that.

Of course not. Canada's healthcare system is not, at the point-of-care, a business. Whatever business arrangement that exists is between the government and providers, not me and my doctor, so the latter relationship is not directly con

So, yes, this is the problem. Healthcare should not be a business. It should be obvious that people who have been denied access before will come in to their first visit with multiple concerns, and the system should be accommodating to that

So about those. I started with a new doctor after finally getting insurance a few years back. I told them I needed to come in for my annual check-up, and came in with a list of the things that had been bothering me and that I hadn't be

No national program to build where people are, either. Which is a shame, because we're the country that built the Interstate Highway System, and a national rail system before it. The truth is that the hyper-local nature of our politics

Many European tech markets are supported by robust social welfare systems and a culture of unionization within other industries that creates a sort of economic herd resistance to employer abuse.

The clerks at the warehouse I worked at spent 30 min-1 hour every day hand-collating order manifests because whatever system that spit them out (from some contractor or corporate?) did so as PDFs that couldn't be easily modified. Liter
