There's also the example of an iPhone vs piles of the exact same amount of elements making it up. Which is more valuable? Which would you rather want? Essentially by just rearranging matter you can create wealth.

Yeah frankly I can't think of a more dangerous thing humanity could be doing than biological research on infectious diseases in population centers. Even doing chemical processing in cities is safer since you're only risking the im

I'm not sure that Twitter could really sensibly demand damages if the sale went through. If Twitter is still sold at the original fixed price, then Musk is left holding the asset he himself damaged and would have to essentially pay dam

Finding `tk` is much easier than `ul`, since the latter is very often part of words, whereas the former very rarely is.

Not really, you can leverage your work very widely, but your rate of change to the program is limited.

This is something people seem hesitant to realize: that after a certain point you can only grow your career by "managing" other people. This is true in a lot of (most?) fields. At some point you cannot become more productive as an

It's likely a vapid comment, if it were true and so simple, why didn't any number of physicists solve GR using quaternions and unify physics?

Fair enough, I just remember that I couldn't figure out the fuss until someone told me to lick the sticker.

Just FYI if you actually want to taste it, the bitterness is in the sticker, not the cartridge itself.

In addition, the fact that they're separate from the manufacturer means their incentives are also not aligned. They're incentivized to find issues, both pre delivery and during maintenance (especially during the warranty period)

It's like paying artists in "exposure". There's value, but it doesn't actually pay the bills.

Reminds me of the time I asked "How can I do this Python feature in one-line because I'm writing a to-one-line Python transformer". Still got idiots replying that I shouldn't be doing what I want to do in one line.

Also how would pollution still be growing exponentially if population and industrial production dropped off substantially?

One thing that was shocking to me when I looked this up myself is the temperature range of a car dashboard where the LCD is mounted. It can get ludicrously hot in the summer if the car is parked under the sun[1], like 80-90 C (180-200 F) ho

After they knew who to investigate it likely was easy, but I don't see how they discovered who to investigate in the article you linked. You need some way to detect smoke before you can go looking for the fire. And given the large numb

Yeah that was amazingly egregious. At least you can excuse the presence of sweets and zippers on pants on the field. No way you're going to be able to explain sandpaper in your pockets.

Cricket is much murkier than baseball in this regard. Some amount of "ball tampering" is allowed in cricket, whereas, AFAIK none is in baseball. In cricket you can polish the ball against clothing and use sweat or saliva (with som

How else should Epic compete? They can't reduce the price in line with their 12% cut vs steam's 30%, because steam doesn't allow games to have cheaper prices elsewhere. Which now that I think of it seems anticompetitive from

AFAIK controlling shareholder means that the shareholder has more than 50% of the voting power. They or the group they belong to have unilateral control of the company barring some restrictions. Though looking at this a large but not 50%+ s

Plurality means largest stake, but that stake is less than 50%. So it means that they have a lot of say, but they can be overridden if every other shareholder disagrees.

Either way, my point stands, one set of diseases leaves obvious physical marks, the other just kills your or leaves invisible harm. Which do you think will prompt people to be more happy to get a vaccine? Some invisible injury, if that, or

Polio and Smallpox are terrible diseases, causing terrible deformities or scarring, while COVID is essentially a slightly more dangerous flu.

How is your comment relevant to mine? The thrust of my argument is that imposing negative consequences (irrespective of reason) is a form of coercion. There are many things that ought to be coerced, but it is ridiculous to assert in the fa
