Everything can be reduced and reused if you're willing to spend enough money. But obviously you have to recycle if the other options are too expensive. Environmentalists seem to forget that spending money is itself a waste - a waste of

How will they get those extra comments to be seen? They still have to log in and get past captchas and all the same issues that bots have always faced. Humans create a crushing volume of crap already and we already have ways to hide that fr

Rather, chemists constantly miss opportunities to use actual numbers instead of their lazy legacy mole nonsense. Nobody really seems to use SI prefixes beyond peta or occasionally exa. But they could have called this 900 zetta-flop. (10^4 p

What difference does it make? The world is already full of humans who pollute comments and articles. They're not limited in their rate of production of words because there are far too many of them for anybody to read. They're limi

That word oxidization or oxidation is really misleading! It's not that the atmosphere was oxidized but the opposite - CO2 was reduced to produce free oxygen molecules. I think it should be called "oxygenation" instead.

There are companies that organize booking of passenger cabins on container ships so that seems to be fairly easy.

Obviously the choice of name wasn't made by the beer. It must have sounded like a good name too. Homer Simpson's alias Max Power came from a hairdryer but that wasn't the point of it.

Can't it be made up of individual characters or is it stylized in a unique way?

I don't know what they are but if they were stolen, then obviously it was unable to protect them at that time. No, I don't think ancient Greek artifacts belong to modern Greek people or the modern Greece country. Perhaps they coul

Those regulations exist specifically for the purpose of keeping property prices high. That's what people actually want because they already own property and want to profit by restricting the supply to others as well as keeping the riff

Bush caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people with the Iraq war, and you're upset about some tweets?! Why do people have such a distorted view of right and wrong?

by lopmotr 6y ago
The FAQ and tweet are clearly the wrong way to communicate such vital information. Neither are required instructions for students. The FAQ is explicitly labeled as being for educators, not students. Neither explains the consequences of doin

Stop this "bad information gets people killed" nonsense. You can justify any kind of censorship with that. That's what China does too. If they allow protests, they'll get violent and people will get killed. If the govern

Yep. It seems to have started with the 2016 election which left popular opinion being that there's a huge part of the population who are too stupid to think for themselves and must be shielded from bad ideas in case they believe them a

Not a popular opinion, but I think it should be enough to survive in the cheapest area. Then if you can't get a job, you move to the cheap area and survive rather than wasting valuable real estate in a city and forcing up rent for the

It can be both meritocratic and unlikely for disadvantaged people to succeed. Those kids who are born disadvantaged are more often disadvantaged in their merits too. Their parents and peers teach them life habits and emotional problems that

Would you rather live in a world where everyone does what they want instead of what you want? Good luck getting things that almost nobody has the passion to provide for free, like food and technology. We all benefit enormously from other pe

Huh? Of course not. Are you being sarcastic?

We're specifically talking about the man who wants to write things. Not that other stuff you listed. We have ways for writers to make money from their work if other people actually want to read it, whether it's a book or a blog

You're probably thinking of poor people in developed countries. They're already surrounded by opportunities and don't take them, so giving them money probably won't change that. But in poor countries, there must be a lot

Why doesn't he use his writing to support himself? Is it really because he won't get paid until the future but he needs the money now, or is it that writing won't ever earn enough to support himself and his mother? If the lat

Something 1000s of years old hardly belongs to any particular modern country. Perhaps if whoever is looking after it can't protect it from theft, they don't deserve to be looking after it and it's better that it got stolen. I

If you measure interest in the currency you're lending, like everyone else does, then it's exactly 0% interest. Interest rates advertised by banks aren't adjusted for inflation either.

Turns out it's done by a lot of hard work rather than passively collecting rent: "Partnerships with large OEMs operate as signals that also generate barriers to imitation. As pointed out by one of our informants: “If a company lik

Actually, religious belief has been declining over the past century along with economic development. I think the numbers of people losing those conspiracy theories are far greater than the numbers picking up novel ones.

No doubt. But we cope with September, October and December not being the 7th, 8th, and 10th months respectively. If it was your regular language, you would probably hardly notice.

Nothing in there even suggests that race wasn't a factor. The very fact that you listed multiple factors admits that multiple factors may have combined to cause it. It could just as well have included race too.

Then Leifcarrotson's claim that it "it explicitly and thoroughly debunks the idea that race was a factor" is false. Just because something agrees with your prejudice doesn't make it a good argument. It just means it feel

Not sure you need a whole new internet. Maybe a search engine aggressively excluding commercial results. Even blogs with ads. Anything with ads or selling something would not be listed.
