It's because the article and website is stupid, and is trying to make you believe public agencies are ineffective on principle. Public agencies don't exist because of profit. They exists because of government mandate. Also the web

even though I agree with your prediction, I do realise that we cannot foresee the future. Whatever you or I think is going to happen; it's going to be different than that.

Honestly don't read to much into this guys criticism. In sapiens at least, Harari provides a great overall overview of our species, society and history. The criticisms basically boils down to one case of mentioning the wrong animal. th

This article is pretty frustrating to read. There is so many things wrong with it. First there is the false assumption that a sciencey book like like Sapiens should be written scientifically like a research paper. This is wrong. A pop sci b

Unless you're stretching the definition of 'a bit of dried fruit' I call bullshit. There's no way you can live more than a month or two on cereal and instant noodles.

you're making a logical error. The CO2 is cumulative. So in case of replacing an inefficient laptop with a more efficient one: manufacturing: 300kg use 4 years: 400kg manufacturing new laptop: 300kg new laptop 4 years: 300kg That'

> this seems fairly ridiculous on its face I think that's why people always tell each other to not take things at face value. Of course there is a big difference between sw and hw QA, in the thing that they test, and how they test t

by legacynl 3y ago
I think you're sort of misunderstanding the role of QA. You think that QA is a liability shield, but that is only a side effect of the work that they actually do. The task of QA is exactly that: an entity that tries to assure that the

It's hard to come up with a scientifically valid test for something as wide and vague as 'free will'. So what happens is that the tests are designed to test for very specific things that are then used to reason better about v

Exactly. Supposedly there already is a clear and distinct line where officers are supposed to go into action and that is the law. Seizing based on suspicion only introduces the officers own biases

I'm not trying to diminish your hardships, but the fact that everything worked out for you in the end is either the result of luck or (mild) privilege. Imagine that everytime somebody helped you out, that didn't happen?. how much

thats a nice play on words, but fact and truth are synonymous. I think you're looking for the phrase: "factual but not informative"

I don't think that's right. switching a gpu is as easy as opening the case, replacing the gpu and installing drivers. if you switch OS you will have to find replacements and alternatives for all the software you're using to m

I don't understand the 'love' for digital. Why would you want to replace your headphones with wireless ones that are more expensive, can run out of battery, can't plug into your amplifier, and are probably impossible to

You have it backwards. Malnutrition can lead to impaired growth and lower bone density. But that doesn't automatically mean that lower bone density and lower stature is evidence of malnutrition. For all we know the measured difference

I don't think it has much to do with learning reading or writing first, but more about learning letters before you progress to words, before you progress to sentences, etc. I don't think it really matters if you start with writing

Learning by listening to something during your sleep doesn't work. Brains go into a sort of maintenance mode during sleep, and it's not possible for your brain to sleep and interpret & comprehend sensory input at the same time

Wow, so because there was an italian mafia in NYC, you conclude from that that immigration to populated places is bad? As far as I know there were a lot of people trying to make money of selling booze during the prohibition-era, not just it

That's a very cynical view of your fellow human beings. Everybody is capable of empathy and logic. It's just that our brains try to conserve energy and don't want to spend energy thinking too much about stuff. Your post is ir

Social media isn't a common carrier. The internet is the common carrier. The analogy of the printing press doesn't work, because the printing press symbolizes a big clunky piece of machinery that a regular user can't build, m
