The average NYT Reader knows what an F150 would do if driven over a husband. Presumably, the average NYT Reader does not know about the capabilities of tracking devices or the ramifications of stashing them on a husband's person. I p

It isn't domestic terrorism to discuss suicide rates by gender, age, sexuality, etc. Here's a breakdown from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/suicide/rates_1999_2017... The catego

Agreed. I'm a hypochondriac who can manifest all sorts of symptoms simply by reading them on the Internet. To my happiness, I finally found a doctor who calls me on my bullshit. As a result I've had fewer unnecessary tests and

I wanted to take the overall point but I did get bogged down in the examples. The overall tone of the essay is philosophical and allegorical. For an essay with that tone to really make its point it needs to be crystalline in its clarity a

I quite agree with most of what you are saying, and you are saying it quite well. My main thrust is that we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater by saying, 'Some people aren't rigorous so let's abandon rigor&

I won't argue with your mistrust of psychological 'findings'. But: If psychological research is not conducted with scientific rigor, and we treat it as an art, then where does that leave the phenomenology of mental illness,

I think if you review the biographies of those three individuals, you will find that the stories of their persecutions are a lot more complex than that they were attacked for their novel ideas (though that is certainly an aspect). In most

An interesting thing I've noticed recently is that CGI both opens up possibilities and closes them down, and it's in the closing that it becomes painful. As the author points out, in older practical effects movies, you knew that

A good question. I've done the yearly flu shot for over a decade. But before that I was A) not a flu shot getter, B) a more reckless driver, and C) etc. etc. My sense of the impact of my actions on other peoples safety seems to have

Perhaps instead I might be following Covid guidelines for the following reasons: so I don't pass the infection onto those who are indeed vulnerable; so I don't overtax an already overtaxed healthcare system and healthcare workers.

Depends on the eco system, I've found this straightforward with maven / sbt + GRPC / Akka / Thrift, and then more difficult in environments that don't have baked in concepts of packages and module deployables, but f

The 'monolith' (which I find a silly term but I'll use it here) can expose different parts of itself as services. As long as those services can be versioned and are backwards compatible, you can deploy the monolith using any

That's interesting because it also explains why I was going to say I do like having from first. When trying to reason about a query, I mentally go through the following: 1. What tables are being pulled from? This speaks to the potent

I might be missing a nuance in what you're saying, because it seems like the way you are describing Zen is indeed similar to what Tarkovsky is describing above. Specifically, he says, "If you look for a meaning, you'll miss

I’ve looked at a variety of articles on the subject. The belief that incidents are underreported is commonplace. Here is an example: https://www.gpb.org/news/2021/11/09/would-legislation-curb-v... I wor

If you are having trouble believing that, why not check the public record. There is plenty of reading on this subject. https://www.kare11.com/amp/article/news/health/covid-19-inte... https://

One doesn’t need to look far to find similar circumstances in the public record. While the Reddit post could be an elaborate creative writing exercise, there’s many recent news articles about upswings of violence against healthcare worker

I've been quite happy with multi module projects over the years. I.e. where your modules are a directed graph of dependencies. Whatever modular structure you have right now is never perfect, but refactoring them can be straightforwar

I was intrigued by this, because I always wonder if people who are calling for death or life imprisonments in the heat of the moment will think better when they are considering an issue in a relative state of calm. I did a quick survey of R

Thanks for the context. My layperson reader-of-newspapers understanding is that there are three issues with doctor supply: one is that it's expensive to become a doctor, which is hand in hand with spiraling educational costs, two is t

Not disagreeing with you (often have to preface internet comments with that :) but instead discussing. The grocery store example is quite revealing. Yes, you can point to the American grocery store, but what has been well studied there is

Interesting, AWS terms of service seem more reasonable, allowing you to perform benchmarks at will, but requiring that you disclose to them the methodology you used to perform the benchmark. Seems like a more reasonable clause while still

I wouldn't think Norvig won the fight. In fact, Google has been part of the charge to make it typical for federated content sites to provide structured data. For example, Google "recipe for pumpkin pie". You will see a bun

Hitchhikers is more or less a series of vignettes that describe some human activity or historical event in such a way as to foreground it’s inherent absurdity. In a way, it’s meaning is to strip other things of meaning. Appreciating it goes

It's highly debatable (bold face on that!!), but I'm not sure that Youtube counts as public debate. If you look at the comments sections on Youtube articles about vaccination, you will find a lot of manifestly false or misinterpr

Heh. If you replaced “leftist movements” with “human movements” then I’d be with you. Witness the ever developing criteria for identifying and excising “RINOs” from the Trump movement. Find any decently sized organization with humans in it

An obervation, though, is that the academic underpinnings of the “wokeness trends” you’re describing were very explicitly leveraging modern French philosophers. Don’t pretend Continental thinking did not have a string influence on the situa

I think the answer to your question is actually answered in your first paragraph. In the same way that you believe all Christians shouldn’t be judged by those who haven’t “practiced what they’ve preached”, consider that your understanding o
