non-profit is still a private entity, just one that doesn't make profits for shareholders. The problem is with the government anyway, not with any other party. Private companies are amoral, they'll do what they do and take their p

I don't know much about the politics of this in Australia, but at you have uranium exports already, wouldn't it be an ideal country to build nuclear power?

So per capita the UK spends more than 4x as much?

Wouldn't this be an inverse cause and effect? It's not that spending less time using a screen is detrimental, it's that a worse brain injury causes people to need more rest?

I agree. My reading journey has been from fantasy to sci fi and then to books that tip more towards literary fiction and interesting writing styles. With sci fi, once you've read a lot of it there are tropes that so often get repeated

I would expect per barrel it would become a lot more expensive if you're not extracting at the same scale. $1000 a barrel or more if you're only extracting 5% of what we are now, for chemical processes.

A few years ago there was a controversy where it turned out some staff at Basecamp had been passing around a list of customer names they thought funny. So gutter highschool humour. Apparently the people or person who did that had left some

They are mixing predictions that do allow for accuracy on base rates with ones that don't. There is clearly a bias that this particular group has leveraged rather than them being better at prediction.

I'm inclined to agree with you. Events like China invading Taiwan and a nuclear strike on London cannot be aggregated with other predictions because they are unique. There's no correlation between predictions to allow for it. Show

by jemmyw 3y ago
That sounds reasonable. The article doesn't dig into it. Does this group actually make enough predictions to have this kind of validation?

by jemmyw 3y ago
I see a particular problem with this kind of prediction which maybe someone else can explain. If you are predicting one off events like China invading Taiwan, or London being hit by a nuclear weapon, as a percentage, how can you ever know i

This is what drives me mad about this kind of article: > The team had an answer, and it’s an answer that goes some way toward explaining why this group has managed to get so good at predicting the future. Then a whole section and a half

I quite like Emu I've not seen them being aggressive towards people. Some of them are just not frightened of people so they'll come towards you, and if they think you have some food... But the ones I've met have been pretty g

I like Emu. Sure they could do a lot of damage if they attacked you, but I've not experienced one being aggressive. They're either scared or curious and gentle. I've got a video of playing "do you get the food or do I gr

I like working in an office, I've had a lot of fun in office jobs. But I also like having no commute, having a nicer house in a small walkable town. I like that I can work for a company that pays more than the ones in my local city. Th

My understanding is that they had to break the ToS to take it to court. I mean they could have taken it to court anyway but they wouldn't have had standing.

Reading about the ball and his cousins eternal bachelorhood because the women all left, I'm reminded of a service I read about in NZ that used to run a train between town and a rural area for ladies to meet men.

I've tried Zed and it is fast and that's nice. Sometimes VSCode does seem a little sluggish. However, Zed is missing so many capabilities who knows if it'll be just as fast when it can do more. For example, I find the git int
