A "free stuff" is incompatible with unlimited fertility. The bargain has to be that the necessities of life are provided only if you agree to limit yourself to replacement fertility. If we allow unlimited fertility, then no matt

Because we won. The whole "war crime" business is just how we justify in today's oh-so-sophisticated society the ancient custom of the winners imprisoning and executing the leaders of the losing side. I reject the premise and

I'm going to take a different tack: a senior developer is a developer with enough experience that if you subject her to the bullshit processes that work on lower-level developers --- things like scrums, status updates, architecture rev

What can be done to boost basal metabolism? A safer DNP? The current approach, diet and exercise, although it may work in individual cases, is not effective at the scale of public health.

I'm more inclined to report reported differences to bad reporting of inputs. How many studies are conducted under controlled conditions? People lie about everything all the time, especially to themselves.

Can your body just "reduce your basal metabolism"? Where are the energy savings? Is your body temperature lowered? I'm skeptical of the idea that differences in "metabolism" can account for different results arising

Of course it is. Energy input must balance energy output and net changes in storage. What isn't simple is that we don't have the ability to merely will ourselves to eat less. We are not as much in control over our bodies and our c

I don't understand why so many people have difficulty accepting that the chemical environment can mediate appetite, and appetite is a key driver of food consumption. Thermodynamics holds. What doesn't hold is the idea that you exi

As long as Twitter applies a double standard to abuse against white men, it'll be a useless political echo chamber. Allowing "#killallmen" posters to get away with their drivel while bringing the banhammer on anyone challengi

I am extremely skeptical of "full" rows in the table, the ones that purport to measure the overall costs of cache invalidation. These costs are so workload specific that a single number is meaningless and likely to mislead. My own

Private enterprises aren't required by law to uphold a high standard of free speech, but being decent Americans does. The government MUST NOT censor, but private companies SHOULD NOT.

Use IRSO and we all lose. India's government is subsidizing these rockets. SpaceX, on the other hand, is developing technology that really makes space travel cheaper. Only the latter will move us forward in the long term.

And this effect is why Trump will do far better than polls suggest. Lots of people will vote for him, but are afraid of saying so for fear of losing their jobs

Would you host openly racist white supremacist content? (E.g., an American Renaissance mirror?) I understand that you believe you're promoting free speech, but I'm curious where your limits actually are.

Does Project Galileo cover political expression you consider problematic though? It's easy to support free speech with which you agree. The real test is whether you support it when it's reprehensible
