Indeed it is the age of the clever fool. The I’m doing Not A despite A being long established because $wallOfText. Maybe the wall of text does flesh out a solid argument. But also maybe it falls short of some basic and larger principles. R

Agree. It is not the books, perfectly, and Asimov left so much out that any adaptation would need to fill in substantially. I think they’ve done great. Hope it serves to introduce Asimov to a wide audience.

And then there’s Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, uhh a huge amount of blues, etc.

It’s all accurate and inaccurate because people are all very different and come to different positions differently. Some believe they can “sin” under the cover of night and still keep their comfortable places in society as their sins weren’

That, too, is simple. And ok. And ok to agree/disagree.

This is very well written and gripping even. I don’t see the negatives other commenters are pointing out. Yes she’s talking about her perceptions born from her clients and years worked. That’s an absolute right for all of us, right? To simp

Yes, which is why I brought up the disparity in the number of the genders in the population. It's that disparity which makes cultures unstable and violent.

The Economist recently did some interesting rethinking of the unstoppable power of the Chinese economy in their May "Peak China?" edition. Some links (sorry for paywall, but I do find them worth it.) https://www.economi

Downvote by replying to a sibling comment of higher quality or making one yourself. Or strongman their point and show it’s false. Downvotes are already handed out like participation trophies.

Personally I've begun limiting my time here. It has gotten worse. Just my .02. Things that could make it better, maybe: -more aggressively axing topics that are outright divisive. -maybe sticky-ing major topics together more often. May

Seems like that might help with snow/ice season. But at the cost of being slower all the time. Be fine with me.

I’ve been devoting at least 20 minutes later in the morning to rest for months now. It really makes me incredibly sharper through the rest of the day. Another thing I’m learning: blocking my eyes so I can focus on something I’m hearing to b

I was thinking white roofs plus solar panels. But indeed the biggest impact would be if roads were white instead of black. With the unsavory effect of blindness sadly.

Except it’s a /. thread too. And /. is pretty appropriate for vim. Just going to have to hard disagree with flagging stuff like this a dupe today. I’m not interested in the economy of categories in this instance at all.

It’s not really a dupe if it’s worth reading separate accounts of Brams impact. And I would say it is.

I think the simplest thing would be painting as many surfaces white as possible. Not entirely fun in full sun though. (Though maybe there’s room for a combination of white surfaces under a light thick canopy of solar panels?)

Clearly many places do. But an ever growing problem is the need for fresh water and infrastructure. And I know this always gets push back, but a lot of desert is great for development principally because before modernity no one could live t

Sorry Nate Hagens, I can’t recommend your stuff until you try to strongman the options to move away from oil and carbon better.

This really shouldn’t be tagged a dupe. It’s someone’s impressions of Bram. Give us the space to mourn and reflect.

It’s not about reaching everyone. It’s about not turning people off and attracting the otherwise predisposed. It only takes one sour comment to make the fud spread.

Actually it’s great. Sure it’s annoying when people take things too far. But society sorely lacks for interest in science and in general things that make us all better off. I say bring on the enthusiasm and just remind people of the importa

Government: Working for a national lab is very similar to working for a research college without the coursework. There are frequent (as in weekly) technical lectures across a vast array of areas. Lots of work for someone with math+applicati

Probably a lab that confirms any piece of it will get a significant share of attention and acclaim. I heard the research group got scooped by a former researcher. Former researcher outed them before they were ready for all the relevant ques
