It should be noted, engineers being well represented in these sort of rebel/revolutionary/terrorist organizations isn't a new phenomenon. Here is an article from a decade ago: https://slate.com/technology&#x2

Yeah, Apple's service is abysmal. The University Village Apple Store in Seattle wanted to hold onto my macbook air for a week to replace the battery because they didn't have one in stock. Why didn't they have one in stoc

Are you ready to use violence to enforce your religion of love? There is no way in hell I'd willingly submit to you drugging me.

Maybe, but this scheme still discourages casual spur-of-the-moment fraud.

The likely reason they're using phones, not keycards, is because students would be more likely to let their buddy hold onto their keycard than their phone. A phone is more personal/sensitive and the stress of being without it fo

If the game is meant to entertain the students, and the students are no longer entertained by that particular instance of the game, then why is it so important to the school that students remain inside the stadium? It really seems to me tha

> But I would argue that Saban is easily 10x more important to Alabama's success than any single athlete on the team. Maybe they should pay him 10x more than they pay the students then. What's that work out to? If the stude

If they give in to the few people who have the initiative to complain, they likely placate the few people who'd have the initiative to demand change. See also, the TSA precheck systems. By allowing people like frequent flying busines

Then I think berdon's concerns are misprioritized. It's very rare for the necessary reduction in CI to require medical supervision. The overwhelming majority of obese people in America are eating more than is reasonable to eat,

Most people aren't fat because they're lazy. Most people are fat because they eat too much. We have a culture that glorifies food, junkfood more than the rest. Overeating when eating junkfood is absurdly easy. Teaching peopl

CO may be difficult for a person to manipulate, and raising CI to put on weight may be physically difficult, expensive, or ineffective. However, reducing CI takes willpower but will make you lose weight. If you reduce it enough. Some

Wow, that's extremely judgemental. When I was on the swim team in highschool, I was fit as a fiddle. When I went to university I chose to stop swimming but also chose to continue eating the same (because I like food.) Predictably

How did those celebrities get hacked? It was my impression that they had poor passwords, or got betrayed by a friend to whom they had sent the images. If the Apple services themselves were being compromised, that's news to me. It was

You're describing difficulties with precise measurement of inputs and outputs, but I don't think the difficulty of making those measurements refutes the core idea of CICO at all. The difficulty of actually implementing CICO sugges

You can quite easily if you're going at the right speed. I recently drove across Canada where the speed limits are absurdly slow and I was getting 8 hours on a tank easily.

I think you're missing the point of the "meme". The point of the meme is that human bodies are not closed systems, and that the way to regulate the state of the system is to regulate what goes into and out of the system (if

Surely energy going into and out of the body, which is the point of the "meme", is mutually exclusive with the body being a closed system.

Gaming is an activity that I filed under mindless, I don't play many games these days but I have in the past and generally noticed myself eating less. Typically when I play games these days I listen to an audiobook or podcast at the

One form of discomfort that sharpens me is the sensation of sleep deprivation kept at bay by caffeine. It has a dissociative effect that I find helps me concentrate. Reaching that state probably takes a toll on my body though. Perhaps t

I don't think it's bizarre to say that urban planning that prioritizes walkability is 'better'. Sure it's opinionated which may be taboo these days, but is it a bizarre opinion? No, I don't think so. Of cour

Well as I said previously, I take issue with the scheme as a whole. Furthermore, don't many players, coaches, etc, transfer up from lower divisions when they demonstrate themselves to have exceptional merit? It's not clear to me

Tuition rates for Harvard and Princeton in particular are deceptive since if you earnestly cannot afford that tuition, they don't ask you to pay it. Those schools are often actually cheaper than public schools for people without muc

Unfortunately under the current system, parents are motivated to let their kids play the game not just by the prospect of professional success, but also by the prospect of admission into a school. If football were brought into line with oth

I am concerned primarily by the involvement of public schools. I think private schools doing it is also dumb, but perhaps it's their prerogative to be dumb in ways that shouldn't be tolerated from public schools.
