My question as well. I read it a bit like "well SHE was seen in a bar last Saturday so her account of the car accident is scarcely believable".

Even if it wasn't deliberate on viewing the first design sketch it or designing it the resemblance had to be noticed.

S.W. US (Arizona and New Mexico). Field remain alfalfa for many years at a time. More cuttings then in other parts of the country also.

Control over our circumstances is always by degree. In other words, it's not binary.

Artificial cell based meat can't get here fast enough. Much of the farming in the US is for animal feed. Cell based meat presumably still needs some inputs from crops but it has to be much more efficient then feeding corn and alfalfa.

That's not the case at all. Some fields remain alfalfa for long periods of time and it's a very lucrative crop.

Assuming they are wrong about their reasons for refusing the vax. Otherwise the reverse. But really so few people of reproductive age die of the disease anyway it's unlikely to produce much effect.

He's also in his mid 70's. A decade from now a lot of these folks will no longer hold the reins of power. For better or worse.

That's the dream, hopefully it comes to pass, but for now implementation remains problematic. How do you pay for it? Will it be run by the same entities that are having so much trouble balancing Social Security and preventing Medicare

I was prepared to say "meh, whatever another JS lib" but this actually looks interesting! Nice work from what I see so far.

Also the shock "wrongthink" things we see on the internet might not be a representative sample of what the general public actually believes.

I feel you are possibly too cynical about the ability of people to (eventually) figure things out. Because something is posted on the internet doesn't mean large numbers of people actually believe it. There will always be "wrong&q

Rome got much (most?) of their grain from Egypt (which renews fertility due to annual flooding) and the cause of the Mayan collapse is unknown but I highly doubt it was primarily scarcity driven. Societies collapse from social factors, not

I never accepted the premise of that book as being universally true. Societies have collapsed for reasons other then resource scarcity. In fact I'd say more often they collapse for reasons other then resource scarcity. I don't thi

A thought experiment. Think back to what life was like 100 years ago, 1000 years ago, back through 10,000 years, then mentally draw a graph with two axis. On one axis put (potential) individual liberty and anonymity. On the other put health

What's the definition of a failed state? I travel to Mexico somewhat frequently and although some things work differently then in the U.S by and large everything works. The power is on, the roads are decent, there are a very large numb

Untrue, but also off topic.

Nothing. Also nothing prevents the US government from outlawing drugs. Likely with the same effectiveness. BTW are most of these hackers transferring to fiat through U.S. exchanges? I can't imagine that's the case but maybe it is.

"Code other people who are not me have written and frameworks I didn't pick" (I jest. A bit cynical but that's often how it comes out in practice).

Also the cost of understanding the problem more fully. And the cost of discovering a better way to do it.

Maybe for the near term. For the longer term I'd think it would be more like cannibalism which humanity likely widely engaged in early on but very few would even consider today. Just gross and icky and "you'd eat an animal!!!

Having eaten goat a few times I'd say a goat is still pretty near inedible so there is no realized gain. Tastes may vary though.

I worked on a cleanup crew after hurricane Andrew. Huge H-frame metal girders on highway structures were bent like pretzels. Entire lime groves were uprooted and piled like tumbleweeds. Houses were completely exploded. It was similar to wha

The Steele Dossier was paid for by a firm hired by Hillary's campaign. So essentially what you have is some weak circumstantial evidence and a campaign that tried to take advantage of existing leaks (about... what? was the information

Wow I kind of miss those reveal codes! I had a boss back in early 00's that insisted on WordPerfect (even though it was already dying). So I learned it and never learned Word quite as well. (Mostly because I never took another job that

You are really doubling down on that? The facts are not on your side but the reverse. It's amazing to see in real time to be honest.
