I was recently speaking with a medical friend of mine who spends a lot of her time reviewing clinical trials. She had an interesting perspective that made me rethink my attitude. She didn't go into details, but she feels that the usual

I'm fine with Parler being banned, but for what it's worth: I think you can be pro free-speech, and still be happy to use the downvote button. The downvote button is an agreed upon and standard way of expressing disagreement on th

To add to this, I’ve met a few wine/food/music “snobs” who leverage their sophistication to appreciate less-expensive/mass-market produce. Nothing you stop you liking pop music! So, in my opinion it’s your approach and mental

As someone who is the particularly unskilled at FPS games, the introduction of SBMM was a game-changer for me. I went from being totally outplayed almost every game to actually having a chance of competing.

I think there's two difference that make it less problematic in Australia: - The Australian Senate has significantly less influence on politics than the US President - Senate seats aren't distributed per-state on a "winner ta

Also, with that much metal, it won't exactly be rare anymore! Hard to imagine the price wouldn't drop 100X. (Loving the ridiculous hypothetical)

I'm naive in the space so take this with a grain of salt, but I believe the original Tabata study[0] showed comparable increases in participant VO_2 max compared to non-HIIT, with only a 4 minute workout. Put that alongside evidence th

Yeah I noticed recently that I actually prefer browser apps from a UX point of view - creating tabs of content and jumping between them is something I do a lot, and it's baked in very nicely to the browser. (As is sending a link to sha

A lot of existing digital money is more akin to a widely-redeemable voucher issued by a private company than it is to physical cash. You're free to use it in ways that are sanctioned by that issuing company, but if you want to do somet

I used to be like that, but for whatever reason a significant proportion of my adds these days are from smaller, local companies - a vineyard or clothing company for instance. I click on these adds, and if I like what I see, I'll buy i

Yeah I have the same feeling. I was struggling for hours the other week to make two columns the same height, but the need for an overflow on one kept on killing everything. Coming from a mechanical engineering background, I'm very used

To me, a "right" should be considered on the basis of what it actually provides to people. This might be an unpopular opinion that I hold as a non-american, but I don't really see "because it was decided so a long time a

Thank you for writing that. The "everyone's life has difficulties" is true and often said, but it's such a platitude without someone providing a concrete example.

Yeah, the reality is that "listening and respecting the opinions of people whom you disagree with" (or not) is an ideology in its own right. One would hope that it'd be orthogonal to conservatism/liberalism or any other

Fantastic job on these. I love how you've created such a wide range of logos that are all quite unique, but at the same time fit within the overall aesthetic of the world.

I mean the original idea was fantastic - the network infrastructure was going to be fibre to every household in Aus (with a few exceptions for ultra-remote locations) - 1 gigabit down/up. Then the conservative gov opposition ran a camp

Interestingly, I'm not sure a neurosurgeon is that great an example. What neurosurgeons do is amazing, and life-changing for the people they help. However, only an extremely small proportion of the population will ever receive treatmen

I see your point and principle , but the salary-opportunity-cost on the number of hours that the average piece of OSS takes to develop would surely dwarf 99 dollars, making that fee maybe 1% of the total effective cost.

If anything the Planet Satellite plane looks more modern - its wings are nicely blended into the base of the fuselage. In contrast the Celera looks like someone got lazy on CAD an just intersected a bullet shape with a wing shape.

That's what drew me to the idea of 'lesswrong'; an acknowledgement that we all kinda suck at this and your argument is almost certainly wrong in some way, but if we approach with good intentions and open minds, at least the a

Yeah very fair point, though (and?) ideally you'd want to be able to provide some heuristic for citizens to use to predict how their actions will be judged, to help them decide whether leaking is the right move or not.

Hahaha if there's a w3schools tutorial I'd definitely take seriously it'd be one on SEO! By extension - the best SEO guide is almost certainly the first listing for 'SEO guide' on google.

I too feel a bit dirty saying this, but I actually really like a lot of the w3schools docs - terrible place to learn to code, but great for quickly remembering how do to something that you totally knew at some point but have just forgotten.

I'm curious to know what value your friend is offering to justify taking the cut. It sounds to me like you're putting in 95% of the effort for 60% of the return. If your work is good quality, it's almost certainly worth much
