"especially that until after the bomb blast was examined" The first bomb had already been detonated in Hiroshima a few days prior. They had radio. Are you saying they still felt the threat was not credible?

"‘What did I do to the Americans?’ she would often say, ‘Why did they do this to me?’" I could imagine a German thinking the same thing during conventional bombings.

Also, that was the second bomb, so it was a very credible threat.

There's a lot of space between a ban and "just don't use it everywhere".

"Forever" is understood to be an exaggeration. And even if we are finding new artificial ways to break it down, the fact remains that there's a lot of it out in nature now and natural processes take a long time to break them

For someone so delusional, it's interesting that he was effective enough to do anything. How far detached from reality can you be and still create something that objectively works? Could someone delusional also create a rocket ship? Or

Maybe the control group was fasting. That would explain a lot.

The biggest likely consequence I see there is inability to fly, which is not good but there are many unfair things about flying. Also, how does that apply to an organization?

I'm obviously missing something. What happens to people on that list?

But why does that matter? Maybe they have a reason or maybe not. It's just some list, right? Do people on the list lose rights or something?

Why is this important? There's irony in watching an organization with "not bombs" in the title. But that would also be the perfect cover, so who knows?

There aren't many cultural guardrails on consumption. We're not supposed to practice gluttony, but what does that mean in the modern world? We can all agree that we shouldn't buy a private jet to fly between our yachts. But w

"It should not be up to the pilot to ground the plane; shouldn't that be up to the airline or chief engineer?" It's not up to the pilot; it's up to gravity. No fuel left means the plane is going down somewhere soon.

Examples? What problems will be caused if we allow existing callers to keep working as before?

The racism of apartheid is a moral abomination while a failed state is not. Kind of strange to think about. Not saying that's wrong; just observing. A failed state is treated more like bad weather something that just happens.

The people could have a new government without buying into promises about "an efficient state-led economy".

What does "should" mean? If I say "you should really get that cut checked out, it looks infected", then I'm making a recommendation to you or giving you advice (solicited or not). But here you seem to be giving advi

"The future is now and the future is hybrid or fully-remote for 99% of jobs." I assume you mean for 99% of office jobs.

Move into useful and growing areas, and when they become useless and stagnant, then move somewhere else. Change is the only constant; be on the right side of it. Leaving a toxic environment makes it less toxic for everyone else. Even the wo

Sometimes it's hard to calibrate and compare expectations about something far in the future. There's kind of a "haha, we're screwed" undertone to a lot of things. How is a young person really supposed to know which

In healthier environments results are better. For instance, if a qualified person applies to a useful and growing company, they are going to be treated with respect and offered good pay.

“capturing and burying 100% of the carbon” What about 50%? Does the cost go up as you try to capture a larger percentage?

A law about staying back when a police officer asks doesn’t seem like the most terrible rights violation. It’s like virtual yellow police tape. One way to look at this is that it clarifies how far you need to stand back. 25 feet is slightly

The news likes to stoke outrage and context (especially numerical context) helps moderate it. Also, small problems often have different solutions than large problems. Solutions that don’t scale are fine if the numbers are small.

Why should a Political Science major take a spot at a college instead of joining a political group discussion on reddit? It’s not like it’s a real science and I don’t see any merit in it, nor what it contributes to college. I’d much rather

I’d like to see more numbers for context. How many students were favored by legacy status, and approximately how much favoritism? They often mix legacy numbers with athletes for some reason… I guess to make the numbers more dramatic? Or may

“for recruited athletes, and for children of Harvard graduates, financial donors and members of faculty and staff“ Athletes have merit. Arguably more than some academic departments.
