Thanks for the response. There must be value in benchmarking data coverage and quality for routing data such as speed limits, vehicle restrictions, hazardous cargo etc... . I guess the problem is what do you benchmark against.

Would guess Netherlands based on their posting history. The Netherlands are roughly 38% Christian, compared to roughly 74% of the US.

Yes they generally are. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Just that the choice of John vs the the Gnostic gospels may well have been to some degree a political choice over which second-hand gospel to canonicalise.

As someone who works with mapping data for HGV routing, I've been keeping an eye on Overture. I wonder do you know if anyone has measured the data coverage and quality between this and proprietary datasets like HEREmaps? Does Overture

Not OP, but I've taken an interest in Gnosticism since watching youtuber Alex O'Connor interview various scholars about them. Basically, by around 200CE the early Christians were an extremely diverse lot with a broad range of beli

I can understand that that's a possible (even literal) interpretation of the phrase cultural Marxism. However the Wikipedia page for cultural Marxism is heavily referenced and suggests a scholarly consensus that the term is used differ

Okay but that's still ambiguous. Is that because you yourself believe that there's an intentional academic effort to "subvert Western values" - as Wikipedia puts it - i.e. you believe it's not a conspiracy theory be

Perhaps they're saying that the system inevitably evolves into a subset of the state space regardless of controls.

Not sure I understand the issue with the cultural Marxism stuff. Are you arguing that Kirk might have used the phrase in some novel non-conspiracy-theory sense?

This was briefly on the front page, which suggests it's related to a recent comment or post elsewhere on HN. Does anyone know which?

Fair. With Elon it feels like there's an obsessiveness that drives him to take on so much responsibility. And as you say, that can affect what he says publicly.

Einstein, Euler, and Darwin were also nice people by many accounts.

Some people have no idea how to diet or exercise, or have no idea that they're overweight, or have specialised conditions that make it hard to follow generic advice. These people might find it really valuable to receive individualised

In which case I'd appreciate seeing something in text form, since the first ten minutes is uncompelling and does not demonstrate what you say it does, and I'm not inclined to spend much time verifying my suspicions. Another commen

I think the author nearly touches on something when he uses the phrase "slow, patient thinkers" towards the end. He's actually a patient thinker. Sometimes that feels like being slow, because you're not jumping at a co

I find it becomes less rewarding over time. Easy to resent the wastefulness of it.

This might be a compelling take except that many climate deniers/skeptics - including several featuring in that movie - are funded by fossil fuel companies and right-wing think tanks.

Manmade climate change is in the context of the last two millenia. The issue is not just the absolute temperature but the rate of change and human survivability. Homo sapiens only evolved ~200k years ago.

They're not making dogs at Rogan so much as lamenting that so many people use him as a primary source of information.

I watched the first ten minutes. It's the standard boring exercise of cherry picking a few theoretical physicists who weigh in on climate science despite having little to no experience in it.

Videos are a terrible way to convey logical arguments. It's much harder to skip back and forth, search for specific bits, etc ... . They're for entertainment, which encourages a suspension of critical thinking. If you're conf

Requiring people to watch a 1hr+ video to understand your argument is a big red flag.
