A quick summary: Only 6% of the ocean floor has been mapped. People at the Seabed 2030 project plan to map the ocean floor in high res by 2030. Reasons to do this include navigation safety, ability to lay fiber optic wire and pipelines, bec

I don't understand how these things somehow result in there being no difference between the US and China. Of course it's an imperfect system. Try handing out flyers about civil rights in Washington DC and then try it in Beijing. O

I had a similar schedule studying. It works really well to focus productivity in the morning. In particular I found that It was very difficult to focus after lunch for a few hours. I stopped fighting this and embraced that it was a good tim

An interesting example of technology and the tech that defeats it evolving together, a friend with leukemia who received a bone marrow transplant was told that a DNA test using a blood sample would identify him as a woman, the person who do

Fair point, I think there's a fundamental difference between the data collection done by a company like Uber or the FANG or whatever and the data that other companies collect in the normal course of business but it's hard for me t

Seems like if Uber is going to use this data for their benefit society should be able to use it to ours as well for planning an infrastructure purposes for example. The way that society does stuff like this is through government bodies. The

I'm asking what he or you think the coalition that makes up the left is. Is it just a more derisive term for dems? Is it a subset of dems with specific policies? I'm asking for a definition of the term he and you are using. Not yo

So it sounds like "leftist" is just a term you use for any democratic policy, not a subset? Like it's not just Sander's dems, its California which is not all that extreme (yet?)

by habnds 7y ago
That is what I think, but in usage, for instance here, the person is identifying Cali as a bastion of leftist policies and I don't think Cali is particularly far left. Harris, Feinstein and Pelosi are all pretty center, until 2011 they

I had some speculation about what the term is so flexible originally that I removed in the interest of actually hearing what people think :)

I'm consistently confused by what people mean when they say "leftist".

Do you have any data showing that pedestrian right of way at designated crossings raises collision rates? You sot of sound like someone who is just upset they have to yield to a pedestrian.

It might be fair, but it doesn't work. Environmental changes are better than legislation at changing driver behavior. More and more it seems that there isn't really a "safe" way to operate a car. It's really about h

It's also silly to think that that difference is consistent with distracted driving causing the accidents. Are people more likely to be using their phone in these neighborhoods? More likely it's that pedestrian traffic is much hig

No but it might be possible that an African american with the same grades as an asian american is much more likely to be successful in the future because they got the same results from what is likely a much more difficult starting point. Th

as someone who also appreciates the subtle arts of haggling, you might enjoy the book Getting to Yes. It's more about negotiation than haggling but very interesting and practically useful.
