Certainly the Mormons won’t show up, nor JWs with their watchtower pamphlets./s If there’s one thing Christians love, it’s inviting strangers to dinner. It’s biblical. They will also pray for you and thank God for the good food and com

Seems like nuclear power is always the elephant in the room. Wish people that like to post emotional comments about climate change spent similar time pushing for nuclear power. Some change in public sentiment around nuclear power would be

People don’t want the government to say what they can and can’t do to their own bodies. I can see why people want to draw that particular line in the sand. Despite my personal desire that everyone do the moral, patriotic and practical thing

“reason I just cut in line is because I am, at least somewhat, generally a jerk.” The research doesn’t support this though. Behavior seems to be mostly a function of the social context, as milgrim learned. We would love to be snowflakes but

Here’s the definition of populism: “a political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups.” Does that not describe both of our political parties?

Self improvement requires not falling into the mindset of blame. It’s “them” destroying the planet, rather than “us” solving the hard problems together. I think only human understanding and mastery of ego will determine the fate of the plan

Most wine today is fake and terroir isn’t as important as micro-aeration or various additives like oak chips or mega purple.

Also -Open source is better for serious work -Excel is notoriously buggy and shouldn’t be used for anything important, yet it is and the costs are enormous. Many articles on this.

How do I find these movies? Amazon has some old, mostly low quality movies, but nothing good or recent. They got rid of the criterion collection years ago. Sincere question: How does one even find or acquire films today? I’d love to watch a

The parties can be improved without dismantling. In fact, that’s exactly what must happen and indeed the fate of our democracy depends upon it happening.

Exactly, educated doesn’t mean schooled/credentialed. The word for this is “discrimination”— the more educated people we produce the less discriminating our institutions must be. If academia doesn’t discriminate the few from the many,

That’s very reassuring. I was worried they’d just keep “doing what the other guys do” and not try to invest in info sec as a specific business strategy. However I do wonder if average people won’t ultimately side with the small businesses,

“ China has already “gone first” ” Nobody believes this. China has a horrible record when it comes to pollution, and to make the opposite claim is a bit outlandish. Here’s a question: why does 75% of all Bitcoin mining occur in China[0]? [0

I think part of the problem is this misconception that the solution to climate change issues require winning a war of hearts and minds. Let’s assume you cannot educate everyone, but instead climate change will be a problem understood and so

Yes, we do both and yes honest working poor people think about it often. All debt cancellation is regressive. Only wealthy people and children (who are still used to having wealthy parents) support corporate and other “million dollar” bailo

The word “troll” has lost all meaning. It’s worse than “hacker”. I now reflexively disregard the people who use the term. I’m sure they’d say that anyone who disagrees must be “trolling” too. A bad word that impedes thinking.

I like the way this piece highlights the network effects involved in the art industry. The primacy of “politics and intrigue” over aesthetics or craft, is so sad to me. It’s good to see some of that truth make it’s way to the surface, if on

It seems like a quick easy study, not trying to be more than it is. Why not gather some data before and after. That said, jama could do more to protect its reputation.

“ these can't be used to make weapons, so it's actually a win/win if they get used or stolen.” I don’t know anything about it, but I worry about who is making those safety assessments and what their conflicts and incentives a
