This statement makes no sense. It has never been safer to fly, precisely because aviation is so dedicated to root cause analysis. A whole door exploded out of a plane and 1. The plane did not suffer structural damage and could land safely

We are nowhere near a war, let alone a war on multiple fronts. We have massive stockpiles of equipment and ammunition that we specifically earmark to give away and that's what we've been giving Ukraine. We do not and will not dip

I read the comments on wirecutter articles. That's where the good suggestions are, if there are any.

There's a good overview here of the evidence, from a pilot. https://youtu.be/MhkTo9Rk6_4?si=dOiHmbQi2CGleyc_ The big thing that made me believe it is the captain had the same route on his simulator at home and deleted

Offline media curate user submissions. They don't just blindly publish anything sent to them. No magazine is accidentally publishing CSAM because someone sent it in. In any case, we can, in fact, believe it. The entire point of the sta

Any algorithm can be "completely explained". It's code, not magic.

In this analogy, the needle is as big as we can make it. Gas-rich is where the danger is, as I understand it. Those gasses expand as they get closer to the surface, and if they're trapped in viscous magma that doesn't flow easil

I've seen several professional geologists answer this question, and no, really, volcanos don't work that way. For one, the scale is way, way too big. It's like stabbing an elephant with a needle and expecting it to bleed out.

It's not a case of "would they rather", that's ridiculous. It's flat out not feasible to do and wouldn't work even if we did. The scale and forces are far too massive for us to do anything about it. It's

That doesn't work. It can't think through corner cases, because LLMs don't think. They aren't actually synthesizing or revising anything.

It's 23% of GDP, not 37%. [0] Anyone who says "we need to cull the feds" doesn't understand what we actually spend money on. 25% of our spending is Social Security, and 20% is the military. That's 45% right there. O

I said your own words, not "as defined by" others. I've yet to meet anyone who throws around "communism" like that who uses it as anything but a vacuous memetic catchphrase, detached from any real understanding.

Before we had vaccines, covid was killing more people than heart attacks and car accidents. Combined. Deriding people for caring about their own safety is callous and puerile.

They literally are amphetamines. But they aren't "mind altering" for people with ADHD, like me. They reduce anxiety. I can fall asleep on Adderall. They don't change me at all, they're kind of like glasses. Suddenly

That's facile. Those conditions were always underdiagnosed. In the past, people just struggled. For example, I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30s and it explained a lot of things I had always struggled with, and meds were incredibl

Actually, I did something there without thinking about it. I said "If X, would it be helpful if I did Y?" because I'm about to explain something basic and I don't want to sound condescending and treat you like you'r

That would be a neutral way to phrase it, yep. It's less about the wording than the information it conveys, that you respect someone enough to talk to them politely and make the effort. If it's hard to see the difference, would it

It comes down to cultural norms, really. Where I am, a plain brusque "Do this" is rude. You act that way to people you really dislike. So the social interaction is you come up to me and are deliberately hostile and then order me t

That's just bias on your part. You don't see the thousands of indie games that were never released because the creators screwed it up, or they ran out of money. Or the indie studios who never made a second game because they didn&#

Nobody sets out to make a bad game or "waste effort" on "useless" features. Things like this happen because the people giving you money have a hard deadline and you ship what you have. Or you decide to use a game engine

I do not understand the mindset that leads someone to be envious of checkmarks, of all things. Nobody thought that a checkmark made you notable. It just signaled that person is who they said they were. There's this swath of people who

This is not about democracy. This is a private company. If Whole Foods doesn't have to hold a public tribunal to ban someone from their store, then ISPs don't, either.

This seems like an incredibly trivial thing to investigate. The AG is about consumer protections. This is absolutely not that.

Mostly because they tend to pick on people who can only file pro se, not because of any inherent merit.

It is, however, also legal for private companies to decide stalking is bad and kick them off their systems.

No. It's the same thing. And this already happens all the time.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. KF is not a Washington state LLC.

They aren't a Nazi site, sure, but it's dedicated to finding victims to torture because they think it's funny to do so. That's behavior.
