Yep, it's a problem that couldn't be solved in Rome as it lacked many essential tools that the so-called Industrial Revolution depended upon. I can't imagine Rome or Sassanid Persia achieving such an industrial breakthrough.

It's more complex than that. The cost of slaves is non-zero regardless of how you shoulder the burden of them; feeding, keeping them in line, giving them tools for their tasks, and so forth. What would've excluded the use of early

I think the problem with the whole free will argument is that it seems like one would be 'free' to choose otherwise even if say your temperament/preferences/values/etc would exclude such counter-actions. It seems li

It's kind of funny realizing how much I try to add color and patterns to my clothing and house décor probably due to being someone who suffers from depression. Basically, more color and visual variety seems to mitigate some of the wors

In my opinion, I think the housing crisis in the US is mostly down to the limitations of our legal constructs of property. Right now, you basically own your house, including the land and its other rights, as a whole rather than as a conditi

This reminds me of how the US Navy had touchscreen controls which ultimately were found to be dangerous, especially for ship throttle controls. All these touchscreens result in gorilla arm and engineers know this. It's not like it&#x27

At my current job we have four different databases so I concur with this assessment. I think it's okay to have some data in different DBs if they're significantly different like say the user login data could be in its own database

One thing that I wish the article would've covered is how light pollution affects sleeping patterns for humans. Light pollution is one of the big problems with cities considering how lights both installed by the government and private

I think the biggest problem with regulating modern tech companies or most companies today is the fact that they've adapted to the old rules as to minimize triggering those laws being used by regulatory bodies. So you'll see compan

Nice video. Yeah, that scenario is really bad. And it really shows how some roads aren't well designed or people aren't good at setting up buffers/warning zones to get people to slow down.

Another thing we can do is force city and state government transportation departments into rebuilding roads as they wear down into more actively calming roads. Making them narrower, put in raised pedestrian walkways (basically turns the int

It reminds me of how here in the US we often overuse signage and other markings on roads to 'prevent' accidents but roads with less markings that are obvious and direct tend to have less accidents by comparison. I wonder if part o

I think some folks have their head in the sand with regard to the demographic shift that's happened. First, you finally got some of the younger boomers retiring on time or a bit early. They're flush with cash due to having stuck a

I had this belief for years where I was the smart one in the room until I finally lost it by actually listening to folks that were wiser or just experts in fields I barely had an inkling in. It was amazing to just give in to my curiosity an

I think the reason for this reversal is that there's probably enough opportunities to move into areas not within the suburban sprawl. And not just for remote jobs but probably several supporting jobs across various industries. It would

Yep, I think there's no need to make e-ink into a competitor for oled or lcd monitors. Something like a tablet or small purpose built computer like a POS machine with built in scanner and card reader is something I think would fit best

It's likely because it's funny and somewhat true. Usually both parents are just as hapless when caring for their kids since it's not exactly something you train up for historically.

The bumbling idiot dad meme is just Mr. Mom being repackaged which I'm sure even Mr. Mom is just a repackaging of an earlier comedic trope along the same lines. I don't think these commercials are a magical threat to the health or

You have remember that most of the energy in a storm is more to do with its exchange of air masses. It's more like a boiler than a dynamo. So it doesn't surprise me that lightning in practice isn't energy dense. But figuring

I wonder if keeping the wires on a spool is what allows the speed to be the range of 10mbps? I only ask because I know at least for radio signals there's capacitive coupling between wires which some signal leakage will happen. But I as

I think the biggest issue facing the Russian armed forces is that their branches don't operate well with each other. There's little inter-branch training, the command staff don't seem to know what the others are doing in the

I think any species that wanted to send a signal just use probes which last a long time around candidate stars. Eventually, one will get lucky and report back after which if your civilization is still around you can make a decision on a res

I think all these pursuits for AI, even weak AI, is foolish. Mostly because we've yet to fully utilize computers. For example, as a programmer I'm mostly focused on how to tell a computer through primitive instructions to do some

I think this is a good scenario to consider especially now that we're running into this issue just from trying to build passenger rail networks in California where the expertise for it isn't domestic at all.

American roads are just badly designed from a safety standpoint. They're often too wide and flat which incentivizes faster travel than the posted speed limit, lots of streets (called stroads by Strong Towns) have constant entry/ex
