Hey best of luck with this! I would have loved something like this on my trip to India. To get anywhere and do anything required increasingly elaborate setups and even personal password sharing between myself and new inlaws that hardly knew

I think the key here is the oft repeated but often poorly understood maxim to favor composition ("has a") over inheritance ("is a"). If you have a mixin (or other means of composition) that you use in several places and

The timescale issue is fun to think about. Even in my own life, there have been times that I've responded to a message within a second and other times that I've taken multiple years. Our lifespan also seems quite arbitrary. Some s

This was a very long time ago, but it's what comes to mind. In middle school we had an egg drop competition where we needed to make a device that would allow a raw egg to survive a fall from the ladder on the back of a fire truck. The

This is just another anecdote. But here goes. My experience was that there was a long period where your complaint was quite true. I believe that they have heard this complaint enough and have lightened up a little. There are still more and

> What will those jobs be? Jobs that require human contact might be good. Babysitter, massage therapist, counselor, police officer, waiter, nurse, aesthetician, etc. Hard to say with certainty though.

Dostoyevsky (to stay with the specific example) produced literary fiction that really challenges the reader on many levels. He might have written some of the "best" novels, but even devoted literary fiction readers need something

This is a fight over (among many other things) who realizes the benefits of AI/streaming. AI might mean that writers are freed from drudgery, their talents enhanced with powerful AI tools and now have a much more pleasant job that pays

Just to add to @currymj's response, sticky stuff won't help a Little League pitcher. There is a level of velocity and control you need that no 12 year old could muster.

As a baseball fan, it's funny to see this article from a few cycles of the pitching/batting arms race ago. Corrupt is not quite how I would describe what's going on. Baseball has always had elements of deception, rule bending

I quite like Emily Wilson's recent translation of the Odyssey. I just wish she had kept "winged words" in, but that's a very minor thing. For the Iliad, I have a preference for Richmond Lattimore. His is fairly true to t

As the sibling comment points out, it's not like you can hire any lawyer off Craigslist and expect to be bulletproof. Lawyers can be an expensive rubber stamp on a deal that is absolutely not in your interest or be a chaos agent that m

But there are specific problems with copyright and patent law that could be improved without a global systemic overhaul that may never happen. We have to take some small wins even in the presence of big problems.

The first thing is that it's a little like pointers where it's not too hard but there are a lot of explanations of it that create mystification rather than knowledge. Stuff like this: https://www.perlmonks.org/?nod

Where were you when I was learning Perl? That was the best description of context I've ever seen. Context was one of those subjects where it's a little tricky but the way it was explained to me made it a complete nightmare to unde

I'd like to see a self-controlled case series design here, so we can isolate the effect of studying ethics and working as an ethicist from the choice to do so. For instance, if I gathered together experts on sobriety I suspect the grou

Not to fall into exactly the trap that you set, but there is a survivorship bias at play here. If you are wholly committed to young earth creationism, many college classes will be an unpleasant confrontation from start to finish and very li
