thinking about this more (i'm replying to myself!) -- i guess what the experiments for D/K show is exactly that performance on a test is uncorrelated with your idea of the performance on a test. yes, it's kind of surprising t

> A coordinated effort This is begging the question. A coordinated effort will solve all our problems in many ways, and is exactly the hard thing about problems like climate change.

1000x this. I only became a successful, productive member of society because a friend personally asked the CTO of a tech company to approve hiring me despite my computer crimes felony -- and the CTO took that chance. The company later went

If you truly believe what you just wrote, why did you write it? Didn't you, in effect, dislike what I said and tell me not to say it? The whole point of forums is to productively disagree and hopefully learn something. It's not su

Your correction wasn't my point. I would prefer to live in a kinder world. I explicitly appealed to the parent's likely desires for same. If you prefer to live in a world where people are casual dicks to one another, then I guess

Ugh this is so dismissive. I'm glad learning gratitude helped you. How would you feel if, instead, I said "your gratitude practice is actually new age hippy trash"? Different people derive benefit from different things. Why n

This is whataboutism that fails to engage with the argument. Lots of things are potentially bad, we should consider the tradeoffs when prompted. In this case, we're discussing cruise ships, not <insert other thing>.

by igor47 3y ago
I think it's a matter of scope. Cruise ships are unusually polluting. This is why folks argue to ban private jets and not commercial aviation. Or in this case, cruise and not container ships.

This makes sense to me as an argument. People downvoting this because they disagree is pretty sad.

Yeah the article has the line: > The attention economy is the real economy Which is exactly what I would expect a journalist to say... someone addicted to the loads of clicks. Maybe it matters more if getting loads of clicks is your job?

Me too! I've been using it to learn a new programming language (Rust) and the ability to just ask questions that come up as I'm reading the Rust book is amazing. It's like having a personal tutor who is there 100% of the time

I would pay for an app store that maintained a currated list of apps which are actually checked for security and stability and tracking.

This is heartbreaking. News like this is why I'm devoting my career to fighting climate change.

Can't tell if this is an excellent troll. Reminds me of the moment in "Behind the Curve" Netflix's excellent flat earth documentary, when one of the characters, discussing her feud with another flat earther, says somethi

I hate the jobs argument. It's like saying, "we should keep the concentration camps open, what are all the guards going to do". Any antisocial/harmful activity will employ people to do it, that doesn't mean we sho

Fact check: Canada does indeed have one of the highest immigration rates, accepting 4x more migrants per capita than the US. 26.4% of Canada's population are first-generation immigrants. This is followed by 17.6% who are second-generat

Not the same as saying you have absolutely no agency in the situation.
