Reduced physical activity in old age will accelerate sarcopenia. If you're hospitalized, especially for long period of time, that will also accelerate muscle loss.

It is difficult to codify emerging societal consensus because the founders deliberately made it difficult, so judges get around the difficulty of codifying consensus by changing their interpretation of the law, in effect creating new laws.

That is not permitted if the target either doesn't have military value or collateral damage exceeds the proportional value of a military target. Not only it's unnecessary, unlawful and immoral, it also means that you're bad a

A Phalanx_CWIS is overkill. Also, I suspected that the system received continuous upgrades throughout the decades. Likewise, the Abrams tanks are cold war era tanks, but they are continuously upgraded that a modern Abrams tank isn't re

Noise pollution affecting children(or adults) in negatives ways is not an exactly an original claim that the paper make nor is it the first one to say so. It would be like a paper claiming that exercise is good for you, which is heavily sup

Car dependency and car related infrastructure are enormously expensive to society. Think of every parking lots needed for people to park their car, motor accident, tire, noise, CO2 pollution, materials needed for repaving and repairing road

The best car is actually no car. No EV, not just ICE means no noise or tire pollution.

Fine. But they are still mistaken in their understanding of physics. Ultimately, physics is what determined what is not possible and possible. Also, your source provide a figure of 300-400 pounds to be the limit. So clearly, he didn't

Just because they thought it was impossible doesn't mean they actually well reasoned their way using the known physics of the day. All you have are quotes from people who say it's impossible or that they think the problem is too i

I didn't say anything about discoveries in fundamental physics. Regardless, the problem of FTL travel is still the same. It violates cause and effect.

By the way, South Korea has already sent hundreds of thousands of artillery shells to Ukraine at the request of the US. They’re now considering sending weapons and this might trigger Russia to send missiles or nuclear tech to North Korea.

All these people didn't make a prediction based on physics. Of course, it also doesn't help if you misunderstand physics. Physics will determine a lot of what's actually possible and not possible to build, and there's a

Russia is a North Korean 'proxy'. With South Korea considering lethal aid, Ukraine may soon be a 'proxy' of South Korea. In the end, Russia made their own decision to invade, and the Ukrainians' own decision to resi

Every skills and specific interest they ever learned have some components of facts. It's pretty inevitable for someone to learn and acquire the facts.

I ain't talking about rote memorization, but just having knowledge in general without total reliance on machines.

Basic ability to think? What does that even mean? Is there a thinking course 101 that I missed? The skills that we learn tend to be fairly specific and doesn't always generalize. If you learn chess, you're just good at chess. Ther

Someone does not understand how learning works. Facts are the basic building block of a person's understanding of the world. Children are taught to recognize letters and basic shapes. From there, we start chunking them together into wo

He has an extremely dark side that impedes him and everyone around him, regardless of the extraordinary success he experienced. That man need a therapist. The public hatred he has gotten is his making, ultimately.

Roads are incredibly low capacity for the value we get out of them.

Cities are what people do to make it. It is not inherently trash or unpleasant.

These are all land use policies. The fact of the matter is, roads and highways required a lot of space for use and storing vehicles. Space that would otherwise go to homes or supporting mass transit or other more desirable infrastructure an

by kiba 2y ago
The problem with roads and highways is that they are inherently low-capacity , so it's very easy to fill them with traffic.

Highway and car infrastructure are the most inefficient way to use land in urban environments. The higher density, the worse cars are. I can't really justify using cars except for interfacing with rural areas.

by kiba 2y ago
That's how we get urban sprawl in the first place, and it is not a working strategy in the long run. Cities benefit from high urban density, and reducing density means less benefit.

What do you do if you build a youtube channel? Can't exactly take the algorithms with you. There are mitigating steps you can take, such as building your own mailing list, but that pale in comparison even though people probably be doin

I welcome self driving technology when they become available, but from a system perspective, cars and car related infrastructure imposed tremendous cost on our environment and urban fabric.

How hard would it be to just build a pedestrian tunnel underneath it and avoid the problem altogether?

Having the declarative knowledge then being able to practice it. I am sure most people know that they are supposed to eat 'healthy'. It can only be one part of a larger program to combat obesity.

A hot war would massively disrupt trade, among that food. The US provide a significant proportion of food to China. I am not sure if China could survive on a smaller food supply but it would mean austerity if that was the case. Worst case s

Mass transits and more pleasant places to live are probably correlated with more tax efficient policies. It's just that the USA has accumulated a number of unfair advantages.
