Ehh, I would say it's useful to see the reference even if you don't follow the link, but I'm sure it also depends on the nature of the topic. Seems easy to just preserve that section, but, hey, it's your site. Maybe ther

Oh, ha, I didn't even notice that. Ok, I like that! I was actually looking at the footnote links, and those do indeed seem to be missing entirely -- as well as the whole references section. Arguably that's more important than link

Is there some significance to the number five? I assume that's just a rule of thumb of where the true root arises, but no one seems to be questioning this seemingly arbitrary number.

Doesn't look like any of those have sensors, unless I missed that? I guess one sensor is your nose in this case, ha.

I'm with you on links being distracting, but it seems you... nuked them entirely, which maybe goes too far haha? I guess you can always go back to source if you want that.

Do you have any recs for the right filter and sensor?

Yeah. The playlist part seems unnecessary too -- why not just have it work on a single song?

Oh, so there's a large employment tax that's paid by the employer? I'm confused by your use of "withheld", which implies you might get it back at tax time. Also, if it's paid by the employer than I wouldn'

Does anybody have any stories of how devices like this revealed a problem -- what the problem was, does an air filter fix it, etc?

by dsizzle 5y ago
Yes, I agree that even "subjective" topics like beauty are nonetheless based on object qualities and aspects can be studied in an objective way through surveys etc.

Yeah, except there is also an increase in hospital admission, so the question is what's causing that if it's not omicron?

The inductive step allows you to stipulate what seems like a strong assumption, in this case that all horses in sets of size N have the same color. I think you're reacting to that seeming like it's the problem, because at first th

I'm all for more precise terminology, and yes "real" would not be that terminology. As far as distinguishing mechanisms, for any drug that doesn't have a perceptible side effect (drowsiness, euphoria, numbness, etc), it

I mean I assume the temperature of fermentation would affect people via the microbes . Perhaps I’m not following what distinction you’re making? Also my understanding is that lagers are cold-fermented. Are you suggesting that’s somehow a “

So are you advocating taking alternative therapies more seriously as advanced placebos or something? Do you question whether it’s important to distinguish between the placebo and a “real” effect?

I make my own kefir and part of my process is to let it “finish” fermenting in the refrigerator. It definitely tastes different after a few days in the cold, and I never really thought about how maybe there were different bacteria/yeas

The “vacuously true” part seems unnecessary (and weirdly subjective). The N=1 base case requires considering N=2 when you apply the inductive step and that fails.

I'm reminded of the story about Henry Ford asking which part never broke down, and then using that to cut costs -- maybe evolution is like that too, and once we fix one problem we'll find the next isn't far behind? Except now

I don't know, I did think it was an odd example, but you also referred to beauty in an objective sense twice. Are you saying... everything is subjective?

by dsizzle 5y ago
It seems in this example you do accept that there's an objective reality (beauty) that isn't affected by space dust? If so, I don't understand why you say that doesn't matter, and instead attach significance to the camer
