Super tweeters are very likely narcissist, possibly psychopaths, if they are not actually a front/shill/bot. Think about the people in real life who always have to be the center of attention. Rarely you will find someone with a vi

This just moves the goalposts. Should they be determining what is racist and what is “acceptable” speech?

I have noticed the same. The tyranny of commuting is that you must do it. There is no choice. But exercise is optional and requires additional will power. You won’t be physically stuck at work if you don’t work out. The tyranny can be surre

I think this is a wonderfully empathic view of hoarding. It’s a scale like everything, and the view of the scale is subjective. However it’s very difficult to live with one.

The author admits to feeling shame for his father as a child and pride as an adult. The only true difference is that he no longer lives with his father.

They won't ever. Some part of the population will always fall for it. Hope is a powerful emotional that overrides all logic.

I don't think consoles like allowing interrupted code from end users. They just end up being a huge attack surface area, either for DRM exploits or attacks on other users. Nintendo pull a game for having a hidden Ruby interpreter a few

I don't know what your definition of solvable is for Factorio, but for mine, there are already a few calculators out there that can solve the infinite resource/constant thruput scenario just using linear algebra. The base game has

Within the game, Factorio has basic logic circuits that have ladder logic qualities. The circuits only have a few primitives: constants, comparators, and basic math. You don't ever have to use circuits to complete the base game, and mo

Not all timber is created equal. Dedicated logging tracts are a monocrop and are often yellow pine. Forested areas can also be counted as timber, but in a given tract only a certain percentage of trees are worth logging. These are generally

Thinning out weak to let the strong grow is standard forestry practice. No one expects 100% of saplings planted to mature into fully grown trees. I am just saying, don't believe timber industry numbers on face value. The 2 or 3 trees p

Don't plant eucalyptus trees. California is full of eucalyptus imported from Australia. They are oil soaked trees that drop a large amount of debris, both in the form of twiggy branches and the bark the peals off. This is great fire fu

I lump those into good samaritan planting. Also I am dubious on how many of those promotions just end up subsidizing replanting lumber tracts. I am trying to find numbers but anything by the timber industry just seems to tout "we are r

Trees are overhyped when it comes to CO2 capture/recycling. Algae already outproduces trees globally by 2x. It is also much easier to industrialize. For example, algae ponds could be built alongside fossil fuel plants to capture carbon

I wonder what the ratio of this is good samaritan tree planting versus timber industry. Timber plantings account for a large portion of US land. Timber is a very popular investment among long term land owners. Not all land is suitable for f

The microwaves used probably wouldn't be too dangerous. The main issue would be the size of the receivers. https://www.energy.gov/maps/space-based-solar-power

The microwave transmitters are still a big What-If? You can pretty easily argue for space based solar power, but getting it back down is still a huge question. A big pushback against wind is "what about the birds?" which is a dubi

FAA tightened rules in regards to commercial use of drones. Except for the most extreme cases, it's still cheaper to send someone with a vehicle than the infrastructure/approval/operating costs of sending a drone.
