So effectively, both parties take turns choosing what "atoms" (counties, districts, etc) belong in which districts. They must be contiguous. I'd like to see how this relates to the efficiency gap that was heavily used aroun

That's the point though. It's meant to require a bit of thinking to digest the information. They didn't set out to make the information clearer and easier to understand, they set out to make the false positive of reading a

Beyond just that, I have to question how many non-lethal non-brain-eating infections come from injecting untreated water into your face that don't make the news.

This is the exact same thing for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Half the guys at my gym (in a random town in South Florida) are engineers or doctors.

It's definitely easier for a reporter to be a little over eager with a story and run it before being fully vetted than it is to co-opt federal agencies and independent auditors. I'm not saying that it's not possible for the s

That's probably not going to happen. What's probably going to happen is they'll take a slight lead for a few years, then we'll take notice and replicate that.

I would 100% talk about this in interviews depending on the interviewer. I can think of a couple interviews I had in SF that would probably be appreciative of this level of effort because you principally reject memorization.

Absolutely agree. Telling people of your bad design is still bad. Especially when "telling people" happens in a flood of other noise, like one line in documentation on a whole tool.

Since I don't see any comments mentioning this, I've heard a lot of talk about skepticism on other forums regarded Chinese scientific breakthroughs. I know on the state level, their numbers are not considered reliable (economic d

I don't know a plugin, but this seems like a good idea. Maybe I'll try to circle back around this weekend and build out something.

Absolutely this. For all of the benefits that come along with globalization, there is very little talk about all of the risks that come along with it. And you can see this on many scales---when European nations "globalized" to i

Based off recent findings, it seems as though aiming at one country in particular would also have the same results.

I would argue that all cause mortality decrease isn't the only measure of health. There are people who eat trash, are overweight, and smoke a pack a day that live to be 100. By no means other than fortunate genetics is that person mo

After years of hearing people I respected on podcasts talking about how Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the most dominant fighting sports, a smaller guy can beat a bigger guy, etc... I hear a philosopher I like talk about how it is the most t

It really seems like traditional investing has yet to fully understand how to assess the value of Tesla. A lot of the value seems to be wrapped in from people's hopes/expectations of the future of energy/vehicles. Tesla is

This is exactly the impression I got. Some of the details seemed like they added that people were shot or killed to make the description more intense.

I will never forget the episode where he goes diving for octopus in Sicily. The comments on how disgusted he was by his guide throwing dead octopus into the water for them to "catch"... it was Bourdain at his best.

This exactly. There is an epidemic of suicides and mental health problems in this country. While I love seeing that people are addressing these problems, lets not allow simple narratives to muddy the waters.

Are you aware that many coins don't involve mining the way that bitcoin does? There's more than one way to skin a cat with just about every aspect of crypto.

So I'm very good at taking initiative and owning problems myself---I put a huge focus on learning in my own time, I love the challenge of a new unique problem or tool, I'll frequently come into work with a new idea of how we can m

To put some of this into context, there were a lot of people saying that the world was going to run out of food soon and we couldn't sustain our growing population. It'd be as if someone today invented a solution to global warmin

If you're interested in this, RadioLab did a great episode on good and evil and really took note of Fritz Haber. It's called The Bad Show. Fritz Haber was a really conflicting character, he seemed extremely patriotic and made a

On top of that, I would argue that war was able to be made illegal because the major world powers found war among themselves to be incredibly ineffective. Many years, massive amounts of money, and hundreds of millions of working/repro
