Ah, one really needs to read the referred article directly to know this. Nice to know that it's actually already accounted. Still, I don't actually get how he counts the socioeconomic factor and get the "without-degree income

One thing that these kind of studies usually haven't counted is comparison of graduate income with their parents' income, which usually are highly correlated. This is why there are some claim that philosophy or art major have some

I guess this is using American convention where people are expected to go 1.2x or 1.3x the speed limit. Although funnily residential roads I know doesn't need speed limit for this, solely because of road quality.

I used to be against speed limit like this, but when I realize it's MPH instead of KPH and starts converting, I realize that the speed is quite extreme from what I'm used to. My motorcycle-addled road already feels quite dangerous

If current society collapse sometimes I wonder how many centuries will be needed to recreate 3nm from scratch. Even 1000 years doesn't seem enough.

I was expecting a concrete evidence on why the story is false instead of speculations arguing that it's unimportant. For me it feels like preaching to the choir, I already feel that AI profiling isn't as powerful as people screame

Is there anyone who have made complication on the most famous (searched by the whole world) anonymous people. No 1 must be Satoshi Nakamoto, and No 2 maybe this one? Is there any others?

Yeah looks like you could use the term "modern" food and it'll be as (in)accurate for the food group they want to refer

We really took some things for granted. These things usually need to be taught from childhood to build intuition because no one would really be able to teach them all of these later, even themselves.

It'd be interesting to have further discussion beyond just parroting a flawed experiment from almost 100 years ago though. DUI has caused very high mortality, although funnily some people here will suggest that we abolish the "dri

The other side of the point is that having manager with small team means those manager need managers, which means another layer. Big team manager means flatter hierarchy which may be desired by everyone. But yeah following Goodhart's l

I notice that every single thing the article talks about is cellular or molecular biology, which I did immediately like while in high school for reasons mentioned. But the reason why I don't actually like biology is the entire other pa

Throughout my "life" in the internet, I've seen this gone from being envied and should be imitated, to something that should be avoided (you're being exploited!!). Maybe it's just a function of communities I gone th

Yeah it's like we're currently stuck in a local minima in regards of environmentalism, and we can choose to go forward and try to improve using technology, or go backward and improve it by impoverishing ourselves. I'd argue t

While I appreciate games that do the further mile to enhance its story, I think we should still celebrate game as they are, an activity we do to have fun. Do Mario or Tetris have good story? But did they change the world anyway? If we rank

I've challenged myself to a subscription that'll waste my money if I don't commit to it. Just to see if money can get me off my ass. After 3 years wasting it, I can confirm that my ass is heavier than money.

I mean, there are shit (literal?) businesses our there with stellar marketing and therefore stellar revenues. It's famous that a charming person can sell you almost anything, even your own things.

Yeah I've heard that the reason artificial sweetener makes people fatter instead is that the body feels robbed when they don't get the supposed caloric intake they should get when eating something sweet. So they crave more. I actu

Flying Aircraft Carrier never make sense to me. It needs some kind of weird technology or economy of scale that allows the carrier to float more easily than the thing it carries by its own. Because otherwise, why don't the carried plan

I don't really know how beeper works, why is it not interfering with medical equipment like mobile phone does? Solely because of low power?

One of the earliest labor principle is "if you can do it, you'll be forced to do it". Sometimes adding your capability will result in more burden to you instead of less. This is why sometimes it's a good idea to hide the

I don't think there's anything in the metric system that actually requires using base 10. Anything will work the same with base 12 or any other base. The only thing we need is consistency, which is the hardest part in this matter.

So what's the drawback of this? Because otherwise this sounds like what's actually needed.

A bit more general, I think the same about habits. "Everything will be alright, with time", or in this case "everyday it gets easier, but you gotta do it everyday" is a lie, it isn't a conveyer belt. If you get ther
