Don't mean to be rude, and it certainly seems like React was overkill for your project, but 6 months to generate a react site like you're describing seems like the problem might not have been react. Maybe it was engineering, or ma

I've also done work for a for profit school. The issue with approval (as far as I can see) is that it focuses on easily checkable items like "do you have lesson plans" and less on important intangibles like "does your cu

This. Flicking is probably the most egregious offender. Not only is it not useful in an actual duel (not that that's particularly practical anyways.) But it also depends on properties of the modern epee/foil (extreme flexion.) Btw

I'm inclined to agree, though for no particular rational reason. I've thought long and hard about it, and I can't think of any particular reason the bottom should fall out short of widespread state intervention.

Yeah, I think "hybrid vigor" is probably nonsense. However, interracial couples tend to be left-leaning, which also implies fewer children, so I don't think it makes sense to infer causality (or lack thereof) the way you are.

Do you live in the US? There's a deeply ingrained distrust of the government basically everywhere. You're right that it's beyond rational. I've had conversations here where people would rather the government do literally

I think it's only available indoors because it's secretly filled with mayonnaise (non-newtonian fluid.) But on a serious note, it's plausible that whatever they've filled the bump with degrades under temperature conditio

I don't know, taxes? Fair and speedy trials are enshrined in the Constitution. Presumably it's in the public interest to actually provide them...

I'm not convinced that the recovery is genetic (well it is, but that's not the point.) People give themselves repetitive motion injuries in music all the time. It causes tons of otherwise amazing musicians to wash out. It's b

This. I work remote currently and my job was not initially a remote position. After about a year of demonstrating the above, I was offered remote as a benefit. So that's something that might also be an option: finding a company that&#x

I'm surprised you didn't include the story of Bach walking 250 miles to hear Buxtehude play.

It was an odd coincidence on my end. I just finished listening to Bach's Capriccio in B flat major 'on the Departure of his Beloved Brother' when I browsed to HN.

Bach's entire oeuvre is incredible. I'm curious to know what this particular work has to do with HN though?

The problem with this is that there are Foldables that do not behave in the way that is implied by the above re-write of the parameters. I think this is kind of the problem when you are really high up in abstraction-land. The functions that

I'm not sure why a 100% estate tax is un-American. It's not like anyone "earns" an inheritance (I say this as someone who would benefit from a low estate tax.)

I mean, for the parents in question the ship has already sailed. I don't think it's a bad idea for parents who are engaged in clearly negligent behavior to be prosecuted (hopefully before something like this happens.)

Separate but equal always turns out well...

Doesn't this whole argument hinge on the notion that children don't have a right to life/medical care outside of the context of the agency of their parents? If they do, doesn't it follow that parents denying appropriate

I also would like to see a citation for this. It's my understanding that deadheading crew members are considered must-rides and that this is an industry norm.

100% agree. I've had generally negative experiences with work that's been outsourced to Indian shops, but nothing but positive experiences with Indian engineers I've worked with outside that context.

by jinfiesto 10y ago
I think that there may be some truth to that narrative. I suspect that Chinese/Indian/Other-Race workers that are skilled at an in demand profession simply shop their work where they are paid commensurate with their skill (Probabl

I got the sense that the memories of the future being beyond Louise's control was due to her novice level command of heptapod. The heptapods seem to know events 3000 years in advance, so it seems they can plan well. Also, they seemed u

On a large scale, I don't have any objection to seeking to end human mortality. However, I'm skeptical of our ability to maintain a functional society given the existence of immortal humans. I can't even imagine the levels of

> There's plenty more to the economy, and to economics, and to the crisis than predicting stock prices. Reducing the question to stock prices is avoiding the question, IMO. You're absolutely correct. The point I was trying to m

by jinfiesto 10y ago
That's a fair criticism, though I would assume that since the heptapods can see the future, there's some rationale for specifically wanting "Louise" to learn the language first instead of just distributing a copy of &quo

by jinfiesto 10y ago
The movie addresses this. Since the entire point of the heptapods visit is to force humans to learn their language, it makes sense that they would force humanity to "work it out."

You're probably over-thinking this. Monad is not a difficult concept, but it is very abstract. Because of that, it's hard to say specifically that "this" is what Monad "does." Also, monad and monoid are orthogo

Economics makes good predictions most of the time. It's a known flaw in the model that the movement of stock prices is fractally distributed. The model assumes normal distribution instead, since it's mathematically much more tract

I'm not surprised. I think games, especially board games, are infinitely better for developing strategic and tactical acumen than infinite seminars. Games actually have a feedback loop where you are rewarded for correct planning and se

While I appreciate the recognition of the fallacy, just because the reasoning fits the template for a fallacious argument doesn't mean that it is. The slippery slope argument is only a fallacy if other evidence doesn't exist to su
