"If the US cuts down on beef consumption, other countries will be happy to buy the now cheaper beef." This only results in no change if there's an infinite demand for beef at the current market price. If the US reduces beef i

My 16-char alphanum generated password for Chase had an equivalent of "rST" in it. I can never remember which password modification I ended up with, and "can't choose the same password as your previous 4" gets real

Known unknowns vs unknown unknowns. "I know how this should work but something's wrong" vs "how am I supposed to do this? Should I do this? Will this other thing change?" Hackers are fine with it, but system archite

This reminds me of how Windows frustratingly hides file extensions by default. This sounds low-upside/high-downside to me, but it's the sort of thing with simple arguments-for (easier for clueless users! Cleaner!), and nuanced arg

That's right! It's called "wavefront divergence". Ideally all "threads" of the wavefront take the same side of a branch, so it can skip the not-taken side of the branch. Wavefront divergence is when a single wa

Make a repro checklist and file a bug, if it's so easy to reproduce for you! Write down what you do, as you do it, and maybe devs could then repro it too!

There are two axes here! Phantasia does not imply involuntary imagining! I don't imagine/picture involuntarily, and for many many years I didn't understand that most people do involuntarily imagine what they hear. Forbidden

Is it not the saddest thing that our outcomes are so poor that deliberately starving ourselves of data is the safest course of action? Sure, people will die of cancer we could have caught, but at least we wouldn't kill a yet-larger gro

I wouldn't say paper spread things around less. Paper and water is the way to go (absent soap), and that's what bidets are.

UBI is contingent on enough people not being on the dole. There is a balance between everyone getting 0 and everyone getting Ferraris. There will always be net-negative contributors, but as long as the net societal good is positive, it&#x27
