Are you sure kids like having their own room? I shared a room with my older sibling and consider it one of my foundational influences.

We really do know a lot more than we used to though.

Most hunters are responsible and care deeply about wildlife imo

I guess a precedent would be noise pollution laws. You can create sound waves on your own property but be prosecuted for their effects outside of it

It does seem like a major shortcoming not to include ecosystem services in any quantitative analysis

Cool. I'll almost certainly never do this but I like to know that I can.

Maybe not but I like to tell myself that I do :)

Another thing is, by driving the speed limit I am reducing the average speed on the road. So any driver whose heuristic for choosing a driving speed involves some kind of averaging will drive slower because of me.

I'm not 100% sure that not being able to refill your own soda will kill it, but I suppose it might.

I've heard that. In driving safety class they taught us that the speed limit is safer. I tried to look up a credible source either way and came up blank. Do you have one? I go by feel. If it feels much safer to speed, I do. Otherwise I

You're right. Also, if AI drivers are safer, there will be knock-on effects of making humans drive more safely as well.

My wife gets triggered every time I drive 'only' the speed limit.

Humans are nothing if not adaptable. We will adjust our expectations.

They said it was one of the reasons, not even one of the main ones

I think I understand what you mean. Thanks!

> Fast food sacrificed the experience for the core consumption Going to fast food restaurants is a social outing for a lot of people. McDonald's is one of the best hangout spots, really.

But it's not just humans that the environment is extreme to, it's every other species of life on Earth besides the few that are adapted to it.

I can understand going to the gym with my mind. People want to look good and be fit

This talks about these old games having "not real" 3d, but modern 3d games are on a flat screen too. So aren't they fundamentally "not real" 3d in the same qualitative way?

I meant including the cost in time, money, and effort of getting the degree.

Part of the cost of getting the license is the time, effort, and money spent getting the degree.

> if I had a freaking paper to show that would save me 4 rounds of interviews I would be so happy. That's if you already had the paper. You are discounting the cost of getting the paper in the first place.

Yeah it's interesting that this is debated because we actually have real-world data on this. It's not like no country with relatively high indices of freedom and prosperity has ever instituted strict gun control.

Yeah, could you even imagine an American politician talking about "achieving more in slowing down demographic growth"?
598.
by lukas099 3y ago
Maybe a little bit.

by lukas099 3y ago
The other side is just as self-serving.

Have you considered that slowing down demographic growth might be an important goal in Indian politics, but not so much in American politics?
