I agree with everything except after doing this for 20+ years, I think of my estimate and then multiply by 3. I've been much better at hitting my estimates since doing that (but I still miss 75% of the time).

As a person that knows nothing about this subject, that's the impression I got as well. The tectonic plates are constantly moving, so of course earthquakes in one place will often cause stress in another place. Understanding this proce

That's the opposite of what I'm saying. I'm saying you need to put out the fire not just let it burn down and build a new house. Houses burn, find a way to put them out, don't just plan on creating new ones.

It's very possible that human culture in a millennia (or a century) will see very little value in our current symbols. Most of the ancient world was dismantled by people that saw little value in the dead relics of a previous age.

I saw a presentation from him in Chicago on Ioke back when he was still working for Thoughtworks (2010?). Seemed like a very intelligent, interesting guy. Hadn't really followed what he was doing until this news. Life takes us in stran

That's explicitly why you remove supports for new trees fairly early on in the planting process. If they indeed just learned that upon this experiment, they probably needed better horticulturists.

The philosophy is handy if you already believe that the rich are meant to be rich and the poor meant to be poor. Wow. That's pretty succinct way to say you don't understand Stoicism at all.

My family and I went a couple of years ago. It seemed fairly benign, if a bit corny/garish. The whole "evolution is evil" thing kind of comes out of nowhere. Afterwards I looked up the group behind it and read about Falun Daf

I had forgotten about webrings. The web of the mid-90s was truly a "web". The search engines were basically garbage, so you never knew what you were going to find. It was weird and interesting and there was a lot of random interes
