I'm not sure what you mean by ideally there. Do you mean that the platonic company is a money making machine? If so, that's certainly the case. In practice, though, isn't it better if companies have non-monetary goals? Think

Final assembly, fit and finish aren't really the key part of what they're doing, though. There's no reason they can't outsource that too.

To be fair, a lot of narrators are really not doing that good of a job. I frequently hear audiobooks that have been rushed through production - mispronounced words, strange cadence, and overacting. I'll take what I heard in that demo o

You’re wrong. Auto manufacturers source parts from a huge variety of outside manufacturers. Auto manufacturers: 1) manage supply chain (hardest part) 2) spec parts (establish quality metrics, change small aspects of design) 3) come up with

Am I right that, if I (early twenties, 36 BMI) have no other health complications, it makes sense to wait to see what the long term effects of these drugs are? If I knew it was safe in the long term I’d take it in a heartbeat. However, I’m

Either way, it’s not relevant for withdrawal guidelines because the relevant statistic is life expectancy at retirement age, not life expectancy at birth. Things like ODs mostly impact those who aren’t yet of retirement age, so they don’t e

The 4% rule paper was written in 1994, when most retirees would expect to live 15.3 (male) to 19.4 (female) more years. People retiring now can expect to live 18.1 to 20.7 years, make and female respectively. The % rules are calculated usin

by elil17 4y ago
The 4% rule is inflation-adjusted, so no.

by elil17 4y ago
FYI 4% rule is probably too aggressive because it’s based on historical U.S. stock market data for a 30 year retirement. People are living longer and it’s a better assumption to use global stock market returns (because there’s no reason to

I actually got looks of pity from people at an Ivy League party when I told them I went to a state school (the top public school in my state, no less)! I really believe that places like Stanford (and even top Greek orgs at “lower tier” scho

Perhaps puffed is a better word than popped. While it is true that puffed rice is currently made using large pressure swings, people online claim rice has been puffed using "hot salt frying" ( https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

To be clear, though, they say "avoid icing" (i.e. The use of cold compresses for pain relief). It isn't what the article is primarily about, but it still is not their recommendations.

I’m far from an expert in this - but I thought the paper I linked did a good job explaining it. Suffice it to say that it has nothing to do with the seabed itself.

I didn’t mean it as an absolute assertion, but I can see that I didn’t make that clear.

I'm not sure that sea floor mining is widely ridiculed. I've seen it taken about as seriously by grantmakers as other emerging technologies. That said I’m not in the mining space. I'm don't disagree with your points - th

I don't think it's true that both will be used at once - if deep sea mining is cheap enough, it could make surface mining non-viable. A carbon tax could certainly eliminate surface mining because smelting surface minerals uses so

by elil17 4y ago
Sure, but a lot of surface exploitation is planned globally. Africa and Asia are certainly going to be seeing new mines opening due to demand for solar/batteries.

Oceans are great at sequestering carbon, but that's via dissolved CO2 and ecosystems near the surface (which are not impacted by deep sea mining). The seabed ecosystem plays an ancillary role. Meanwhile, I'm not aware of any propo

This study ( https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095965262... ) looked at what the actual impact of that carbon release would be. Even if deep sea mining completely destroyed the ability of the s

Things are a little more complicated than that. 1. Surface mining also has environmental consequences which have to be weighed against the costs of deep sea mining. An area impacted by surface mining can recover in just a decade, but it tak

You’re the only point of contact I’ve been given for this article. Could you please answer the question?

Well, I'm curious about it - I guess it's not all that important to me.

Is this fiction or non-fiction?

That's not true at all, at least in a civilian context. As others have pointed out, the fact that this is being developed by DARPA means that those legal restraints may not actually apply, which I agree is very disturbing. First of all

by elil17 4y ago
That's an extremely good point. It's easy for me to forget that DARPA is primarily in the business of war. I hope there is a version of this that's used to help people, but I have changed my mind and now agree that it's
