I don’t see your point at all - even if you were to control for any age of your choosing I’m sure you’d still see similar distributions. Your last point also requires some evidence since it is extreme.

I don't know why people keep bringing up the 20/80 rule as if it's some sort of cosmic law. Suppose on some other planet with a civilization that evolved from something other than monkeys the "rule" is 100/100,

It seems every few years we keep jumping between client side and server side rendering. How is this better than strictly client or server side? It seems like it just has the disadvantages of both with additional complexity to maintain an ap

Is there actually any evidence to suggest someone who walks, say, an hour daily is less healthy, controlled for diet than any other physical activity?

What are you disagreeing with? I'm not advocating for the standardization of components - I'm just saying that there is nothing special about software standardization.

What's so special about computers? Should car manufacturers be forced to use interoperable wheels, lights and other proprietary components? Maybe so. Take a basic 36V drill, companies such as Black and Decker and Dewalt use different m

How do you reconcile the inherent selection bias of immigration with the fact our domestic population may not be able to compete? Until these questions are properly answered I’m not sure if there’s a solution.

I’m not talking about the federal government. Most major cities and states have already passed temporary mandates and orders that are not being enforced.

I think it demonstrates how weak enforcement of the rules are. Maine already had rules against such gatherings. Yet it still happened. Why?

By sheer coincidence I’ve been reading World War Z and it’s amazing how in the real world we’re making the same mistakes that countries in the book made against the zombies. Of course the situation is entirely different, but it’s interestin

are you really comparing COVID to a hypothetical nuclear war? COVID barely disrupted the supply chain because people who actually work those mission critical jobs had to continue working on site. This wouldn’t be the case if nukes were drop

Would you really want a doctor who is obese? A mildly overweight doctor, sure. But obese ? The reality is, if you have a list of doctors and their pictures and know nothing of them except for their appearance I highly doubt anyone would pi

Facebook will not be beaten. Most likely niche sites will come after it from every angle and it won't be able to beat all of them and it'll eventually be hollowed out - billions of users signed up still, but MAUs will go down sign

Why is it that this task scheduling problem appears to often? Why hasn't this problem been "solved" in the same way sorting strings has? I understand companies have different requirements, but if you look at the history even

The thing about this election is that what if Trump himself is some sort of wildcard that can't really be properly forecasted in the polls? Why is there so much fascination with polls to begin with? I understand that there are betting

Literally everything on the home page is already possible with Facebook. Why use this? Also, without any explicit monetization alternative other than advertising displayed, there's really no guarantee that this won't just devolve

This doesn't make any sense - it's possible to teach children remotely. It is not possible to be a nurse remotely. The two situations are not remotely (pun intended) similar.

Schools generally do not provide many supplies to teachers. Given that many teachers do not receive basic supplies like paper from the schools, why do you think schools would purchase sanitation machines and tens of thousands of N95 masks?
51.
by newfeatureok 6y ago
Even if N95 masks worked, do you think school districts will give every teacher an N95 mask every day? AFAIK there are way more teachers than "healthcare professionals" and we failed to get all the healthcare professionals N95 mas

If this were to become popular what would stop someone from building something to do the reverse of this, e.g. see if the item could be cheaper if you bought it as another customer/from another device/computer/location?

I'm not really sure this is a good argument at all. In your scenario, if the two people have nothing to hide why would they care? You're better of appealing to things that they normally might want to hide, like an embarrassing a

Homeschooling also generally has cost of lost potential income for the one doing it.

Is homeschooling actually better once you control for the types of people who are capable of doing it? I would imagine a good chunk of people who homeschool their children are incredibly active in their children's education, by definit

None of this fancy technology is necessary IMO. Just implement push to talk with mute-by-default. 90% of the audio issues would be resolved. Another 5% could be solved by buying everyone a decent headset which hopefully has a push-to-talk b

Unless a company is willing to do completely blind hiring and eventually promotions/raises anything they do internally to "address systemic racism" is merely posturing. To illustrate this point, suppose there's Big Corp
