You're extending the analogy beyond its usefulness. In the case of subjective offense, it should be and usually is different. If you're called a racial slur by someone who just started learning English and genuinely doesn't k

"But that's not an argument for doing nothing in response to someone who habitually offends people by accident." Well that really depends. Offense is sometimes a strategy employed by cynical actors to gain a political

HR needs to justify their existence and bloated salary by doing something . They're good and necessary for paperwork etc but are just so destructive when they're in a position of influence (or autonomy + executive authority). I w

What about making it dischargeable starting 3-8 years after their last day/graduation? Then lenders have an incentive to stop supporting useless $150k degrees, and borrowers can't declare bankruptcy immediately after graduation a

I am, and it's easy to check yourself. Queue a single lot in the queue and observe that your fill is exactly when you expect. If they were generating fake trades it would be obvious since there would be trades that don't lead to y

No, everyone else isn't doing it. Haven't seen evidence of the big ones doing it - Bitmex, Binance, etc. FTX has good analysis on this.

1- It makes an exchange appear more liquid than competitors, even though it isn't, which gives it an advantage. Customers are tricked into signing up to what they believe is a liquid exchange. It's false advertising. 2- It could t

From a data science perspective do you see any obvious advantages to Julia compared to R/Python?

We need an AI that can pretend to be a zombified version of you at these Zoom events. It's a long way away tech wise but one can hope.

Thinking about it this way it's clear how unintentionally selfish these events are. It's literally a transfer of energy levels from the introvert who doesn't want to be there to the extrovert who organized it and forced ever

The problem is these events are organized by gregarious and highly extroverted HR/operations types and imposed on people who are the polar opposite to them in terms of personality. There was literally universal dislike for these kind o

It's whataboutism. Irrelevant to the question of whether Muslim countries are economically pressured to conform to the CCP narrative on this particular geopolitical question.

The US' influence over the anglosphere is irrelevant to the topic we are discussing. "Muslim countries are ok with Muslims being genocided." I didn't make such a claim. I'm talking about the incentives create

Muslim countries that can't do without China's FDI. Not really a free vote at the UN when the alternative is removal of FDI and even sanctions.

"start of a novel" The New Yorker is the worst offender here. Could compress the typical article by 3x and not lose any information. I think it's largely pretension.

Preference falsification, self-selection bias and sampling bias. Three sources of bias in polling. No problem in politically uncontroversial polls, but cryptonite otherwise.

This person is highly idiosyncratic/unpredictable and has multi-day bouts of mania with extreme energy, before flipping into a depressed/alcoholic state where he's a no-show for a week. Probably he applied during a manic phas

It's the Doomsday Argument and I can see how you're applying the same logic. Doesn't this logic also imply that solipsism is true? 1 observer is less than 7 billion observers and therefore more likely under the logic of the

I think you're making a good point, but anthropic reasoning is hard so I'm still mulling it over. What you're saying is that panpsychism implies a lower probability of you ending up as you, because you may have ended up as a

What if they didn't want to give users a way to iterate quickly through various attempts at obfuscating copyright content by just the right amount in order to bypass the copyright screening? Not saying that was the reason but it's

There's no paradox here. When a lottery is drawn, someone has to win it and be left with the question "what are the odds?". Well, the odds that there will be a lottery winner in a position to ask that question is 1.

I don't agree with the way you're divvying up the value creation to different stakeholders. The employee combined with the employer are jointly generating $15/hour, and it's impossible to do attribution from an armchair.

"If Phi is measured in complexity you could make a glass window complex and that is conscious." If true, that sounds like a reductio ad absurdum of the hypothesis.

I think this is confusing conscious entities with anthropic observers. Ants might be conscious but that doesn't mean that they count as anthropic observers. The probability that you are someone who is capable of asking the question you

The company rented the employee for $5/hour and got $15/hour revenue as a result. Gross value = $15/hour Net value = $15/hour - $5/hour = $10/hour This is an uncontroversial and standard use of "gross&quot

We can endogenously produce it by converting it from ALA, but that conversion is very inefficient (5 percent), it doesn't result in the most bioavailable form (lyso-DHA) and most sources of ALA have high omega-6s. Not to mention there
