Worth pointing out that if someone like Richard Hughes offers to work on your firmware it's wise to accept the offer.

Thank you for the precision. Yes. It is a web or network of unending obligation. Like his example of the women who are always heading off to give small amounts of foodstuffs in some complicated pattern.

No one is asking for a specific "hard 50% +c". Just more than 50%. "Usually" most emphatically does not mean "often" or "a lot of times." This sort of dumbing down of dialogue and tossing about of

I agree with your "labelled racist by who, how do you count, etc" questions. But that just throws the meaninglessness of the original statement into starker relief: it's simply an empty expression of unsupported complaint.

I am not being uncharitable. I am asking whether the poster has analyzed the number of studies in the USA, structured as carefully as this one, and found that they are in fact labelled racist more than 50% of the time. And if so, by whom.

"Studies like these that take place in the USA are labeled racist because they disproportionately include minorities." Please provide some factual support for this. Specifically studies that are _like_ this in their construction.

"Studies like this are hard, because they're usually labeled 'racist'," Please provide some factual, quantified basis for this statement.

And to add to this Unto Others (Sober and Wilson). That has a much more specifically genetic/evolutionary slant to it. I liked it a lot.

That is roughly what I take from it. Graeber presents evidence to back up the idea that debt is precisely that which cannot be repaid or quantized and that the attempt to do so is "naturally" (from several examples) taken as an ab

"I think it has less impact unless you studied/read a little classic economics." I suspect that most people would repeat the claim that the chain of events was barter leading to coinage of some sort. Debunking that on its own

I definitely have what could be (disparagingly?) called Saxon feet. Widest width on their own are definitely not enough. The overhead image of the StealthII looks like the most promising thing I have seen for a while.

Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions below. Am going to be investigating them. Sorry to OP if I hijacked this at all.

The widest fit bike shoes I have been able to find currently are Sidi Dominator 4s. And they are not wide enough. I had an old pair of Lake M-somethingorother that I got from Performance before they closed. They were actually comfortable.

I just wish I could get shoes wide enough for my feet. Anything wide enough is too long (a good 4cm of wasted space at the front). I have tried supposedly extra wide shoes like Lems, but the only thing that is comfortable is either the Vi

Well, some of it can be quite skilled. But you still want children doing it because it is a valuable intern experience: https://www.inquisitr.com/365377/yes-your-iphone-really-is-m...

This was interesting to read. Especially the fantasy/thought-experiment about how I might feel if the narrative were to move to a position that I found offensive. But then I switch on 60 Minutes. Or read the NYT. And I realize that th

In the USA/UK where infrastructure is provided for bicycles it tends to be very narrow and overcrowded. Being fitter and faster allows a cyclist to somewhat escape the inconveniences of being crammed in with so many other people into

Yeah, big difference. But both are illegal. Both are things that pseudo-naive people and commentators bloviate about Russia or China doing. Both are actively pursued all the time by US administrations... for decades¹. And that's th

My predjudice would be that naturalized citizens actually tend to being more jingoistic and loyal in order to prove that they really do belong.
