I think you can grasp at the extant evidence of a lot of forager societies and see all sorts of social arrangements. Some of them may appear to be pre-MArxist communism if that's what you're looking for but the idea that it was ub

Yeah, using a small number of geographically locked groups of modern foragers to project backwards in time to before agriculture is a fools errand. As interesting in as the Hadza are, it's impossible to really know what their lives loo

Confirming the date doesn’t mean that it was in doubt, it’s just new evidence that strengthens his account.

I’m not sure what you’re after here. The phrase “good manufacturing practice” is somewhat ambiguous, unless it’s defined elsewhere in the law.
970.
by ch4s3 2y ago
This is only in cases where there is ambiguous language or the law doesn’t specify something. Plain readings of laws aren’t suddenly up for debate.

> That has _always_ been the case Not before chevron. Judicial deference on ambiguous language was invented in the chevron decision.
972.
by ch4s3 2y ago
Chevron was always ridiculous. There’s no constitutional basis for executive agencies filling in accidentally ambiguous laws with their own sometimes expansive interpretations. Interpretation of the law has always been the domain of courts
973.
by ch4s3 2y ago
That’s not how the legal decision works. Overturning Chevron just means that courts are no longer required to automatically defer to the executive branches interpretation of law where there is statutory ambiguity or silence. Courts must sti

Machine sewing isn't superior in all cases, for example hand sewn button holes can look a lot better. The hand sewn holes are cut first and then sewn which doesn't leave frayed edges and has thread all around the hole. These butto

Let's not jump to conclusions. That guardian article is about a pre-print study that used frozen brain samples from a single tissue bank, and RNA sequencing was done on a single machine. There's a lot of controversy around this[1]

I really question the commercial value of that kind of data. Credit card data has a lot more to do with intent to make future purchases than any keyword you might spit out verbally or in a search engine.

That’s precisely what I mean. Each tool here reflects the will of the person wielding the tool while providing a pretense that some other force is at play.

That’s pretty much it. You see an obscure ad without realizing it and have a related conversation later. Then when you see the ad again and make note of it, it feels strange.

I’m not sure that’s a good definition of a city, and not one I’ve seen elsewhere. I’ve read quite a lot about urban planning and Tenochtitlan would fit right in with English garden cities of the early 20th century. It also had a larger pop

Neither ancient Rome nor Sparta had walls for centuries after their rise to prominence. A number of per-Colombian Andean cities didn't have walls. Tenochtitlan didn't have walls and it doesn't look like Cholula did either. An

> The 45,000 years ago number I referred to earlier comes from sources that are not online. Are you referring to a book, or unpublished academic work? Is there a particular scholar you have in mind?

This has always felt incredibly thin to me and shouldn’t in my opinion constitute probable cause. It’s essentially a dousing rod with four legs.

A functioning justice system in a free country has no legitimate reason to seize property without any prior suspicion of wrongdoing and an order from a court.

Interesting, was there a business reason to not do that in the background somewhere?

Yeah I got 3 months free to stay in my tiny Gowanus apartment. It ended up saving us enough to get us over the line on a down payment on a house later. It was a really fortunate turn in an otherwise miserable year.
