Theres no uniform definition of autism. If you go to 10 different psychiatrists for a diagnosis, you'll get 10 different answers most relying on heavy self reporting by either the parents or the patient. None of this is accurate.

Theres alot of anecdotal evidence from parents that seems to prove some of this. There are two problems: 1) Most people with autism don't have it e.g. there is no good definition. 2) Not only are diet studies hard to do because they in

It has long been noticed that many people with mental issues also have digestive issues. Imagine if the prescription for alot of health problems was to "eat a good diet and no amount of alcohol is beneficial"? People don't wa

"A mistaken belief is that AC is more efficient than DC. What AC is is more easy to transform from one voltage to another (until somewhat recently). That makes it easier to run AC at 1 MV and then step it down to 240V for residential a

There's no goalpost moving. The point is that the USSR was so successful that no one wants to copy its legacy nor did anyone want to emigrate there.

So does my ant colony analogy apply here? When do we get to move into our hexagonal cell I mean house? You know, bees use hexagons because they are the most efficient use of space. But please do keep using the "redneck" trope. We&

Yea yea, but you'd change it if you could and then say the same thing that every despot has always said since the beginning of time: "You're free to leave if you want".

In every conversation I've had on this subject, urbanites discuss the "lack of nightlife" as a problem. My opinions are twofold on this: A) If you need beer and nightlife to distract you from living in an urban dystopia, ther

Heh, they always say "You're free to leave any time you want". When all we have is Maglev trains that go from one walkable city (e.g. jail) to another, how will you move to the country?

Can you elaborate on what you want me to elaborate on? I've been to Toronto, its another "sick town" and nothing I say is going to change your mind if you think living like an ant is "awesome!"

Exactly. Its almost like decentralized systems are more efficient.

I live in one of the few 15 minute cities and I hate it. You might as well live in a jail or a zoo. Are you envious of the lions that live in their cages? They have everything they need close by! Water, companionship, food, etc....

Its ok to subsidize banks in the US, but we can't subsidize manufacturing (like every other country) for some reason.

"Heavily involved" means what? I would like to know details on the design and why specifically it's bad. Saying "it's poorly designed because Cameron says so" is not good enough. There is more detail in the You

That hardly makes him an expert on submersible construction when there are others out there albeit few, that have this experience. The parent comment was on submersible construction expertise of which Cameron has little to none. I'd ag

What makes an explorer an explorer? To me, and to most people, I would think it means to find something previously undiscovered. Nobody was calling the passengers on the MIR submersibles that have been visiting the titanic since the 90&#x27

Alot of the people that were tourists* were as arrogant as the designers. Its ironic in this case considering the titanic's construction also had a fair amount of arrogance. We all know what happens when designers of anything are arrog

I like james cameron, but he's another victim of "popular science". He probably had some input but I couldn't believe he was instrumental in anything when it comes to deepwater exploration. However, he's relatable t

Its not necessarily an implosion that can kick off a cascade of failures, a thruster could have gotten stuck and sent them into a spin. It looks like the submersible was heavily dependent on software if you take a look at a few the videos

I don't see cables in any of the pictures, so I assume it was a bluetooth connection. Could you imagine if it lost sync and wouldn't reconnect? The lack of switches and reliance on ipads (or some sort of tablet) in the submersible
