Counter argument: selling off products to smaller businesses creates more limited liability. I.e less to lose more to gain by being bad stewards. A bigger company in fear of hurting their brand has incentive to be good.

I think another big mistake was prescription painkillers and that whole story. Get everyone hooked on cheap low grade painkillers, it definitely caused problems but they were manageable if they got more pills. Then there was a huge crackdow

Your attitude to cigarettes sounds awfully similar to what people said about mj 20 years ago. Someone i know actually thinks there’s a link between a crack down on smoking and mass shootings. Just a pet theory, but some folks just need to c

Wait what??? So 1-2 degrees average is enough to be past peak photosynthesis temperatures? And putting black solar panels is going to bring that back into optimal range? I can’t see any of that being close to factual. Crops under panels cou

Good abstraction is the foundation for most of what we do. Bad abstraction is worse than no abstraction. Not everything needs to be abstracted. Ontology is bad abstraction (is a has a stuff). Some people are bad at abstraction and some peo

Having just finished a build, this is very true. New construction methods are amazing. My home had rough in plumbing in a day. Scheduling, inspections, and credentials eat up the most time. Why a plumber can't hook up power to a wate

I'm surprised mention of David Gelertner hasn't come up at all. He is a computer scientist who was attack by Ted kaczynski. He is an interesting person.

I'm starting to see a pattern which basically amounts to corporate shakedowns. I think the trend has only been accelerating since Perdue Parma. They will take the money and never do a thing to clean up the chemicals.

The intention was to get people to read the main thesis critically. That quote is sort of a tell about the quality of this paper, and the more I dig into this paper the more it confirms this is isn't good science.

... then they start talking about km^2 of lost surface area. Which if you read the paper they cite, it says "Between 1984 and 2015 permanent surface water has disappeared from an area of almost 90,000 square kilometres, roughly equival

This, and why 1992-2020? How many of these large lakes are distributed in say, Midwest America/Canada. What were the precipitation levels in that region just a few years prior? Why did they need to involve climate models when we have o

I was interested in kagi, but it's not private at all. Your search term is right in the url, meaning the nsa can monitor your search terms. As an intellectually curious person, I search for things I shouldn't. I don't care if

Good old zero vision. It is being adopted all over the US now with tragic results for pedestrians and drivers. It's not in your head, the traffic lights are being changed to make you crazy. I both cycle and drive, and zero vision strik

I find the N types enjoy and find value in MBTI. S types seem to hate it because it's not scientific enough. As an N type I find the big five worthless for helping me understand interactions with others. MBTI wasn't made to be a c

I enjoy converting g to number of sugar packets which is about 3g. So that's 1 packet per slice (which the yeast might eat). When you say that a coke has 10 packets of sugar it makes you gag a little.

Those dehumidifiers make these places uninhabitable for me. Constant low humidity is really unhealthy. Without them these ultra insulated homes have major vapor and mold issues. Being highly insulated is good but at a point it's just s

Persuasion basically. They can take any situation and make most of the room feel good and confident in the business. Good politicians do this too. It doesn't work on everyone, but it works well enough.
