I read it regularly and listen to their podcasts. You clearly didn't read any of these. As pointed out elsewhere the "Great Fall of China" is about a giant stock market crash. The title is the Economist's puny house styl

This person you're responding to is tedious and dishonest, it kills me.

That was a cover article with the sub heading "Fear about China’s economy can be overdone. But investors are right to be nervous" and it was about China's biggest one-day stockmarket fall since 2007 that caused broader market

You're arguing that you shouldn't need a source to say that the Economist has an anti-China bias. But that's not common knowledge, and the link you provided elsewhere didn't point to an Economist article demonstrating th

In ruby it used to be common to ssh into a box, attach to the console and edit files from the REPL and rerun the code to see if your patch worked. I haven’t touched it in years and I doubt many people do that anymore.

It not that hot swapping isn’t useful, it’s just difficult to do well and you need to write your code in a way that supports it. If you need 0 downtime on a device that can do a blue green deployment then the BEAM has you covered. Most peop

That user always does this. They make bold claims then frantically google and fail to read their own links, and it’s always in favor of China or some communist dictatorship.

What a weird argument to make.

Those aren't from The Economist, the articles mentioned there are from Vox, the Guardian, and Al Jazeera.

I think the initial crack was ousting Maduro in Venezuela. Since OPEC exempts Venezuela from production caps, it gives the US government a lever on non US production.

> but Cuba is obviously one of the most commonly talked about medical tourist destinations. No it isn't, and not by a long shot. The vast majority of medical tourists to Cuba are from the Caribbean, virtually no one else goes there

You can easily see a totally different perspective on all of these if you try a little. > You can't repair your device. Everything is increasingly integrated for dust/water proofing, components are integrated to reduce the powe

No it isn't. There's little evidence this drug works beyond some small studies done in Cuba by the people who developed the drug. The sum total of medical tourism to Cuba is quite small, no more than about 10k people per year. Thi

This is a large reason I see erosion as a non issue long term.

Your source says: > It is clear that the yield per crop varies depending on the species and variety sown. However, in the case of the chinampas, yields are between 10 to 15 tonnes/hectare. An average of 12.5 tons/ha That's

Right, but tillage is not a set in stone practice. The Nebraska Corn Board is now advocating no-til corn planting[1]. Apparently it's already dominant in Western Canada and more than half of Montana cropland is managed without tilling.

Right, but it's possible with existing tech and there's no scenario where oil disappears all at once. Its a highly geographically distributed resource.

There's a pretty good finding here[1] about elimination diets being inappropriate for most patients. Basically without any diagnosis of something like celiac, allergy, etc you have a high risk of misidentifying foods as causes because

Thats 1mm in the upper Midwest around the Great Lakes, wind is doubtless a factor. You can’t generalize to all industrial ag from a dozen sites in 3 geographically similar states.

Elevated brain glutamate levels are associated with migraines, but there’s no solid evidence that dietary glutamate is a trigger for migraines. The number of people avoiding it is not evidence of anything other than public perception. Eli

I initially copied the wrong number, the correct number is 1mm per year, coming from a Unas Amherst study not Smil’s book. It’s high vs pre industrial rates, but not catastrophic and as Smil points out there are plenty of places where land

Ammonia can be generated through electrolysis as feed-stock for Haber-Bosch to get nitrogen, so literally forever. The reason we use petroleum is because it's currently cheaper than solar PV electrolysis.

Extremely wrong how? There's a great an well sourced section in Vaclav Smil's How to Feed the World about this very topic. I also cited a specific erosion figure. But I guess that doesn't matter.

Lake Texcoco was only partially drained by the Spanish. The big project to drain the lake was undertaken by President Porfirio Díaz in the early 1900s. > Which is why Mexico City is now facing a severe water crisis No it isn't. Mexi
