Do you have kids? They cause about a 5-10 year period where getting into or out of a car is a 10 minute project.

Much more niche than the hairy ball theorem is the Cox-Zucker Machine, supposedly they decided during the first year of undergrad that they eventually had to work together.

But this is not meaningful. If I buy 10 dollars of stock, at 10% return I am earning 1 dollar per year. This amount is not relevant to my life in any way and is probably dwarfed by variation in the amount of cash I find lying on the ground

Careful with "can". It is possible for the homeless guy on the corner to buy stock in the sense that he is not prohibited from doing so. But on the other hand, the actual fact is that he can not purchase stock.

This happened in the occupied West Bank. What would you like Hamas to do differently there?

When we start saying "no content restrictions besides illegal stuff", your hyperbolic question becomes legitimate in a way that it's not when we're talking about Doom.

For the people who disagree: would you really be interested in seeing Child Grooming Simulator 25 on steam? I think we can almost all reasonably agree that at least this sort of content should not be sold on there.

You're repeating yourself. You are arguing that Harris and Biden performed better than Trump would have (and is, now). I agree. I am arguing that Biden was not, and Harris would not have been, acting in my best interests.

by cool_dude85 1y ago
Again, I ask whether you think Harris or Biden produced objectively good results, or fixed any of the problems identified in the article. I agree that both are better choices than Trump, but my exact point is that I can't cast a vote t

You've given the game away. How was Harris a terrible option compared to Trump? She was not. But critically, she was only not a terrible option when compared to Trump! Maybe you might feel that Harris was herself an objectively good op

My political power would most certainly be more diluted - down to nothing - if we moved to a "state's rights" type system. As it happens, I live in Florida, so my choices for state and local office have been much worse than t

Not an unreasonable choice if externalities such as carbon (and mining, etc. in the case of nuclear) are taken into account. And suppose you price carbon in, how do you actually produce a real carbon sink at the assumed cost and scale if na

And, funny enough, often the utility company can raise rates to cover these losses! Easy money and you don't have to build a thing.

I think tax credits in other countries have a lot to do with the consideration here, so it's not like a free market paradise situation as-is.

It's something that I think has been bubbling up for a while. I've heard a lot of complaints from people in and around the industry, and the complaints are a lot less about Ne Zha 2 and more about stuff that used to be filmed in H

Click downvote, or don't read them, or since this is FB put the little angry face emoji on it. Just don't have a state apparatus dedicated to whining to the mods to please delete this post!

One additional wrinkle to the tush push is that it WAS illegal until the mid-2000s. Sort of like the 3 point line in basketball, it has taken many years for a team to take advantage of the new rule to its fullest extent. I think people gene

It seems hard to be bullish on LLMs as a generally useful tool if the solution to problems people have is "use trial and error to improve how you write your prompts, no, it's not obvious how to do so, yes, it depends heavily on th

No, only one part is subject to competitive forces (generation). The other two, transmission and distribution, are agreed by any rational party to be a textbook case of a natural monopoly and are subject to strict regulation for that reason

Sorry, Enron was rigging brownouts to seek profit. How many people do you think these brownouts killed? That goes well beyond "pretty slimy."

How do US state GDP per-capitas compare to the GDP per-capita of Ireland? And if this comparison is not meaningful or relevant, what does that say about the choice of metric you made?
