Feels like they ran into Chesterton's fence and decided to tear it down. Then rather than rolling back the change, they've instead decided to push ahead with the broken implementation.

No, because you can never get more out of it than you put in. You can however, use it as a form of storage if you get sufficiently good efficiency.

Looking at the gallium trioxide reduction, it seems that you can first reduce it to Ga2O with Hydrogen (water as byproduct), Gallium suboxide then decomposes into it's components at temperatures above 500 C. Feasibility of this is an e

Every time I hear a "THERMODYNAMICS" argument on carbon capture/retrieval, I die a little inside. Especially since the fundamental assumption is that the earth is a closed system. Considering that the sun provides us an effec

Buildings too, and those are often privately owned.

That shouldn't be a problem. Bail scales with each arrest, and then scales down once the arrest is resolved.

That sounds like rationalising away bad behaviour. If there are many good options and the person performs the one with maximal negative effects on society, I'm perfectly happy to hit him with punishment. I'm more amenable to neces

In my part of the world, pretty crime is low despite massive income disparity, regardless of neighbourhood wealth.

Honestly, this "insurance will cover it" rationalision is something I saw directed at the looting that happened in the protests /riots last(?) year. It feels to be that a suitable chunk of people don't understand how ins

I wish that we'd care less about said edge cases. It's one thing to have an obscure, nonobvious death sentence, but "don't overdose on meds" should be common sense enough to avoid tiptoeing about it.

The workers could happily found a coop that does exactly that. They didn't, he did. That coops haven't been doing very much makes me inclined to believe that there's something fundamentally wrong with them, either in incentiv

Screw it. This notion that we should only punish violent crime, and all other crime should be ignored needs to go. Look at this chain of logic presented above. >> Additionally, mail theft laws which include prison as a consequence sho

I'd expect the opposite. Growing up indoctrinated doesn't make you indoctrination resistant.

At least from my perspective, it's the standard reddit atheist dismissal/thought terminating cliche. Certainly does correlate with a disdain of religion in my experience.

Not sure if guerrilla marketing or not. Nevertheless, it worked, sort of. Sounds like something right up my alley, but alas I'm nowhere near a costco.

What you do in leetcode is different from what you'd do in an actual interview though. In leetcode, I don't even bother with the trivial solution, as that would never pass the testcases. However, for an interview, I'd always

I'd also like to chime in on "effect size matters". After all, you don't need particularly large N to conclude that decapitation is going to be fatal.

The argument was against those who wanted to take away said treatment, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Yeah, Full agreement on the arbitrary fragility index. One of the main issues with the more squishy sciences is the cargo-culting around specific breakpoints, which happens due to a lack of statistical chops to begin with. At least at the l

Form factor matters. Imagine if your phone has just usb c, but had a recessed insert point where you could have a usbc passthrough, 3.5mm Jack hybrid. It would be superior in almost all cases to just having the jack and USB c. For one, not

Honestly? Yes. The issue I'd have with said minimums is that, at least from my experience in biomedical research is that they're often done with exceedingly poor statistical grounding and pathetic sample sizes. Admittedly, perhaps

That's my story too. Only after the second jab did they start to go "I think you might have an allergy".

So is ancestry. All Phylogenetic histories with any form of categorization is by definition a social construct. Social constructs, however, are not useless.

Probably needs to come with expulsions if I'm to believe this is anything more than signaling.

I share that opinion (and hope) that a minority of the population is insane. However why does it feel like said insane are running the asylum.

I don't see how that's an issue. You can take their argument at face value, then deconstruct it and refute piecemeal. Rationalisations generally fall apart under further scrutiny, and if they don't, then maybe they aren'

Isn't that the point though? The implied meaning of Chesterton's fence is simply: Understand the root motivation that belies a rule/norm/etc before you contest it.
