I admit I just don't understand how unions are formed or how they work. Once I saw picketing (not sure if I'm using the term properly) outside of a grocery store. When I asked what their complaint was, I found out they didn't

As long as we're arguing about words, let's discuss the word "should". "Should" is often used as a way to express advice, as in: "if you are a programmer and want to make more money, you should call your

We've really become accustomed to the centralized internet. If you aren't on it most of the apps people are used to using don't work. Using a LAN effectively probably takes more effort than radios.

Is there some general consensus that wood-framed houses are bad overall? I can see some disadvantages, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are bad. The fact that a lot of people do it makes me think there's some benefit.

This is the first I've heard that houses here are made of wood due to some kind of conspiracy.

Then the headline should be changed. There's plenty of concern around global warming without exaggerating climate and/or weather events. Straying from the facts helps nobody except the news outlets. Edit: technically, WaPo didn&#x

I treat "how are you" as an opening for a quick update if there's something to say (e.g. "it was Billie's first day of school today"), or a chance to set up a deeper discussion later (e.g. "oh man, long st

Not an answer to your question really, but it's just going to get easier and easier for people to make stuff. Laws are not a great tool for stopping or even slowing that.

No, it applies more to some laws than others. A law against carrying a broadsword is enforceable before the broadsword is actually used in a crime, because it's highly visible. A law against a dagger isn't easily enforceable until

If the video showed ferromagnetism, which parts of the material and/or impurities are ferromagnetic enough for that to happen? If none, does that mean scientific fraud (e.g. adding an impurity intentionally), or is there another credib

Thank you for the informative reply. Given that it's so easy for the experimenter to verify, you are saying that the most credible explanation is scientific fraud?

None of the earlier articles mentioned ferromagnetic levitation vs superconducting levitation and how to tell them apart.

Of course that's not real innovation. It's just profit extraction from a dwindling business. The simple business that makes a good product for a fair price and pays fair wages and keeps going forever is a romantic myth for the mos

Maybe printers are kind of a dead end business? We want to be able to print things once in a while, but that's not enough to sustain a manufacturing business and certainly not much innovation. Either someone comes up with a reason for

For rights discussions you have to consider the exceptional cases, too. If we don't insist on rights for people we think are wrong, then the rights are hollow.

This story omits the most crucial information: why was the warrant issued? Judges issuing warrants is one of the least accountable aspects of our legal system. Warrants can cause major damage, disruption, or even death. There are never cons

There's some nuance here. Research dollars get allocated in interesting ways that often reinforce the most mainstream approaches. And once some start down an approach (and become invested in it) there can be various kinds of resistanc

Elon has been important in at least 3 major companies that have real products that are delivering real value today. I can't speak to his mental health, but SBF is simply not comparable.

"That opinions pdf on supremecourt.gov is 237 pages long." That's not comparable to a book. The organization of an opinion is quite good and you can get a quick sense of what the arguments are even if you skip a bunch of stuf

Conservative news sources insult your intellect. Liberal news sources flatter your intellect. Both have a payload they are trying to deliver.

I think you are missing the point: a typical ohmmeter would have metal probes, so with a superconductor you would just be measuring the resistance of those probes. Any attempt to overcome that problem probably introduces a lot of chances fo

Where does creative destruction fit in here? We are used to discussing things in terms of "good" and "bad", but what are the consequences of a boom that doesn't seem to be busting?

A good first approximation, surely. Money is a good proxy for consumption. Not true for leasing a fancy apartment, though, so you'll want to adjust it. The idea that money you spend then gets spent by someone else on consumption and th

"Later, we discovered that the bomb was dropped a few meters away from my sister’s school." I suppose modern precision-guided bombs are an improvement for humanity. Wars are mostly between military targets these days.
