Wouldn't this almost always be the case? To me it's like saying "some stock holdings are not in profit." This is always the case of course unless the stock market across the board is at all time highs. When I invest, and

I'm just gonna drop this here https://codeberg.org/mister_monster/YouTube2Peertube In case anyone wants to help resolve this issue once and for all.

This to me is the only argument about this image that stands to any scrutiny. I happen to believe, though, that any and all information you release to the public is de facto no longer under anyone's control. This is the natural state o

That's an interesting angle to see it from, it's not "look at what I was able to accomplish" anymore so much as "look at this expensive jewelry I was able to afford."

Being too cool for school is cool though. I'm personally very glad that information is no longer monopolized by institutions and that any self starter can learn anything they like without permission or expense. I'm too cool for sc

This sounds like justification for a culture of hazing.

Here's a much, much simpler explanation: believing in delusional nonsense correlates strongly with mental illness.

So, speed of reentry is directly a consequence of surface area (or energy expended by fuel to counter, in the case of the booster which does not use friction with the atmosphere to slow down) of one side. You'll produce the same amount

OK, so imagine a world where traders don't just trade based on news and words, but based on price signals. They have bots sitting there waiting for some criteria only in the price of the target asset, and they're going to trade on

Abnormally high like now? Have you read any history? Slavery and monarchy, that's what most of history looks like. What we live in is an abnormally low wealth disparity.

I'm alright with it. I like lua. I learned to use it a little back when I'd mess with Conky, I haven't really done much with Luna otherwise but the syntax is cool. But lisp is really nice. I'm a helix user, and I'm

I dunno, if you followed the falcon 9 test launches, each launch made progress and often surprised everyone. I expect that this system is bigger, more complicated and so that iterative success will be a little slower, but generally I think

It's like a little microcosm of what the rest of us are dealing with.

Well, I disagree with the author on the cause. I think it's pretty simple, which is usually an indicator that an idea is not correct, but in this case I think it is. Instead of delivering what the user wants, the entire industry has mo

I think you underestimate the number of people who thought "they can't impeach a president for getting a blowjob" and actually meant it rather than using it as a tool of political expediency. Those people don't see this

That's the thing, I think he gets a pass on that. Probably doesn't get a pass on the lockdown or money printing, but no reasonable person blames the president for an illness. A war between foreign countries, lots of people have it

I think you're missing a big factor here: both candidates have a track record as president. We haven't had that in a long time, often it's only the incumbent with a record, which we usually associate as in their favor. Part o

I don't think so. I think more people are going to see this as a politically motivated kangaroo show trial than not. It takes some votes away, but it gives him others, at best I think it chsnges the calculus by roughly 0.

I've got 2 anecdotes to counter yours. I knew a guy who served in the Iraqi military after the fall of Saddam. He did not serve under Saddam, he was not pro Saddam. He told me that under Saddam, you could walk down the street at 1AM wi

The idea that it's the purpose of college to prepare someone for a career is misled. I say this as someone who loathes institutionalized education, didn't go to college, and won't send my kids. It's your job to prepare

You ask a very interesting question, that to me speaks to the future of education gets to the bottom of education entirely. Right now, education focuses on getting people through the system so they can attain a credential. It teaches us, pr

Melting ice floating on water does not change the volume of the water at all. Melting will have no impact on sea level at all if the ice is already floating. It does have an impact on albedo. Shelves and on land glaciers are structurally he

What's conservative about this? "Catastrophic" "doomsday glacier" doesn't sound very conservative to me. The entire film "An Inconvenient Truth" was too aggressive, and did more damage to trust in cli
