Your "explanation space" is almost certainly infinite and mostly empty. The closer any model approaches reality, the more it is indistinguishable from the object being described. Like any map, it becomes unwieldy with increased ac

Your impression is pretty much spot on. We have "military-time" and "24-hour time" available to us in all of our application configurations, but no-one seems to use it. I do because it helps me do time-zone translating t

The decision about whether one can discharge or not discharge in bankruptcy is determined by the court. The decision about whether one can defer or not defer is determined by the loan administrator. I'm guessing that upon release, your

Yes. But longer. Because it starts even before the kids get back to school...

Please, don't mistake me - I'm still opinionated. I just got tired of yelling on the Internet. :-) On this topic, though, in this context: no need to yell. You make a good point. I will say that it is devilishly hard. Liquid fuels

80/20 rule and all that, I agree. I'm originally from a ranch in Wyoming 65m+ from the nearest grocery store, and those use-cases (ag, distance) are burned into my gut. It makes for some bad intuitive generalized conclusions on th

Maybe a journalist is an expert on whatever it is that they are covering, and maybe they are not. Regardless, they are over-worked, spread-thin and the most erudite probably not universally syndicated. I've certainly experienced the Ge

Yeah - we used to have a few of those unfortunate events reported every year when I was growing up in Wyoming. Sometimes even when it wasn't cold (dehydration is a thing, apparently). As young kids, we didn't know anything about a

Maybe if you go in circles. If you cover 20 miles/day, even in places like Alberta or Wyoming, it's hard to go much more than two days without bumping into another one in one form or fashion.

One idea goes like this: We use nuclear or renewables to power a process to capture extant CO2 to be used as fuel, which turns it back to CO2, which will be recaptures, so run-away processes are reigned in. (I can tell by your comment that

How should you measure your value to the world if not by what you produce? By being very very good looking and your mother thinks you're smart? By being a nice person? Being nice should be table stakes, but ultimately, on average, peop

I'm lead to believe that either jquery isn't useful for dealing with virtual DOMs, or that it does screwy things when working together with a virtual DOM system (like react) or both. I've also heard claims that React's t

It's interesting that you jump directly to that interpretation. I would have interpreted it to mean that GP believes that the state should not restrict the right of an adult of sound-mind to self-terminate. Given the nature of the stat
