The problem for me is that it over-estimates my competence. We've been told for years that it's demeaning to do the opposite and underestimate or over-explain, so people may have been erring too far in this direction. We've

Indeed, there are areas (such as some federal land, dog parks, etc.) that specifically do not require dogs to be leashed, by design and intent. People who want to avoid dogs should avoid those places, and people who want to walk dogs off

Compared to the supercomputers of the 1980s (if I remember right my dad had an old copy of Journal of the American Meteorological Society I found as a kid, with an ad for Cray talking about one gigaflop being state of the art), they're

I usually tipped delivery services 15-20%, more if it was raining, but shouldn't tips be hidden and only given in aggregate? Also I wish a fair wage was just baked into the price and tipping went away.

That probably comes down to location and competence+availability of staff. I've had basically equal results from the three different grocery stores I've ordered from in my current location, one of which is Walmart, one is a Kroge

To fully support keyboard input...you often need to use JavaScript. This seems 100% backward. What happened to tabindex? My experience has been that HTML+CSS (I wouldn't even call most of these "hacks", they are normal in

We don't meaningfully fight bike theft for this reason. And this erodes trust in society and rule of law, and gradually leads to vigilantism, privatization of security, and segregation due to middle-class flight from high-crime areas

As far as salmonella getting into the crops ... it can’t survive more than a few hours outside of a host. If that's the case, then why have there been multiple recalls of produce and peanut butter for salmonella contamination?

No problem was ever solved by deliberately reducing the potential number of people available to solve it. If humanity faces resource constraints, the way to solve them is to get as many net-positive-resource people as possible working on s

It seems the problem is in the use of force. Apart from that, if there's a group of people that would make better than average parents, and whose kids would be more likely to contribute more to society than they consume, then shouldn&

Just think how much more opportunity that gives you -- instead of living in the shadow of a hundred prior generations, you can form the foundation on which future generations will be built.

I haven't read any papers about this, so this is just a first speculative guess that I will update if/when I learn more: I suspect nodes ask one another to perform computations on random subsets of very large amounts of data. Sin

Is there? I used to have a prejudice against McDonalds never having tried it, but if you get the same things you would be getting from a diner, there's not much difference.
