In the article Scott says he lives in a Republican district in a state with a Republican Governor, so he wasn't in San Francisco at the time he wrote this. I live in a Democrat district in a state with a Democrat governor so I can&#x27

"And I don’t have a single one of those people in my social circle. It’s not because I’m deliberately avoiding them; I’m pretty live-and-let-live politically, I wouldn’t ostracize someone just for some weird beliefs. And yet, even thou

I'm guessing from Valve's point of view the reluctance to allow this has to do with potential rights issues surrounding chat gpt and related technologies. It's bad that their communication is so opaque and I don't like t

While South Korea has the largest fertility rate fall it's important that they are just the most extreme of many countries. East Asian countries in general like China and Japan have been having a big fall, and many European countries a

Is this just Malthus? While it makes sense, the people predicting this have been wrong for 200 years now. Sure this might be the time they're finally right but it has a bad track record.

And note that Krugman and Stross are friends, or at least friendly with eachother. Stross has referenced this paper and Krugman has talked positivly about both those novels and the Merchant Princes, which is about a group of people who can

This complaint seems odd. First complicated is obviously not in the original text, it's in Greek. I guess what you mean is "No words I would translate as complicated are in the text" but then your complaint just becomes a tau

Interesting, I have wild strawberries growing on my property and they are pretty tasteless in my experience, but I'm at a low altitude.

No, I was not. While Oliver certainly killed more, the reformation and crackdown that Thomas led claimed enough victims that I'm comfortable calling it mass murdr.

I mean, if we're talking about the things Cromwell did wrong in life I'd put this pretty far down the list below all the mass murder.

While they are exaggerating robber knights were a total thing where two nobles feuding would rob/kill each others peasants as part of it. Different times and places might have rules against it, the Holy Roman Empire very famously outla

I wonder if the old cases were essentially hidden in the larger number of cases caused by smoking? With smoking on the way down, the percent of cases that would be attributable to HPV would go up. Trying to find the throat cancer rate by ye

I don't believe stockfish cares about past moves at all besides castling/en passant. It's able to evaluate a board so effectivly that it doesn't need it.

The movies got ridiculously lucky in casting the main three child stars, who all did a great job, avoided any scandals, and have turned out to be by all appearances happy, well adjusted adults. I think this was mostly from luck however, and
