That's actually a great example for what it is. If I were a scientist I probably wouldn't be reacting with "yay science" to every next failure that destroys civilization, even if notionally those are building up the body

Yeah, I think we're agreeing. The breakdown of scientific progress in the book is due to an actively malicious campaign that scrambles data, intimidates researchers and worse.

Those are definitely unfortunate examples and I can see how those environments pushed them to their limits. But if we're talking large-scale systematic thinking about what kind of data would be necessary to show that there's such

I'm pretty sure they're referring to scientists on Earth. Edit: Though I agree that alien scientists of Tri-Solaris probably lead more depressing lives than their counterparts on earth I don't know if this series is yet consi

Probably the safest bet is to pay your bill in full to stay in good standing and then get refunded the difference when they revise it down.

TL;DR: Still no smoking gun, but a conspicuous absence of data where it might have reasonably been expected (deep ocean acoustics data) that might shift where the investigation focuses going forward.

Thanks for the link, and boy is that a whopper. Do my eyes deceive me or is there literally a shot of the computer looking at them from its computery perspective, through its screen, with some layer of visual digital artifacts over it at

I love this on a number of levels. First, a great question, and more than half the battle imo is asking the right kind of question. David Cain has touched on a version of this also [1]. And I very much am a person that can get lost in my ow

I got the same impression especially from reading the about page. And it wasn't the em dash this time but the triplet of one word sentences. But just to comment directly on it and offer something constructive I appreciate a non systemd

For me right now it's not going to any article, but a kind of general landing page for the Eureopean Commission's "Press Corner" which lists a bunch of articles: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/press

Wikipedia is just about the last bastion of institutionally vetted knowledge intended for and generally respected by the public, and in an age of maximalist misinformation, it was only a matter of time before people tried campaigning to und

I don't understand why you think your question in reply to theirs revealed that theirs was naive. If anything, I think it actually reduces the quality of discussion because it tries to say that dynamics in China are equivalent to the n

The Achilles heel of all whataboutism is assuming someone can't consistently criticize the new thing in addition to the original thing.

In mice! Jk, but the skepticism is inevitable. I think we can be dubious about how AI mobilizes global capital while also appreciating tutoring as one of its best targeted use cases.

There's evidence for stunningly intricate, marvelously impressive biological function, but there's no evidence whatsoever for internal mental states. What's happening is we borrow from a pre-existing vocabulary with connotati

I think this is a huge error which collapses the most urgently important distinction at the heart of the entire issue. Plants do complex, interesting things, and we borrow from an already existing vocabulary to make analogies. So people wil

I remember that. The one thing I would add is I think the usage was much more general purpose. "Free stuff" sites were a big deal and huge source of traffic and .tk was widely shared on those. You could have a banner with ads and

I'm also left to center and I agree with you on all three! I think left-wing examples are subtler and hard to identify. Even among among Democrats left of center types and liberals, the examples I cited are minority opinions, but likel

Which is why it's not normal or standard to represent pay that way. The whole reason for it in this context is to address claims that people keep making over and over that they ran out of money to develop the browser because they gave

This is confidently repeated but extremely misleading claim that seems to pop up ad nauseam in the comment sections. They spend more now on development than they ever have in their history, and the CEO spending is something like 1.6% of the

Recently got a Google Smart TV for the first time, instead of Roku, and I hate it so much. Roku interestingly I think folded in ads in the most non-obtrusive way (except for the full screen ads which I think were quickly abandoned). But Goo

Time to dust off the Whataboutism Is Bad speech again: but don't glaze over yet, because I might say something new. Not only is it still as rhetorically fallacious as it has ever been to treat complaints about third parties like they a
