I mean that's the claim, the counter-claim would require a social network banning topics and not behavior. Note: As a user you can see topics, you can't see behavior. The fact that some users flood other users' DM's is

Agriculture lobbyists aren't paying people to show up at desalination plant approval meetings[1]. Optimizing crops is fine, but simply biting around the edges of the problem of scarcity assuming you're making progress is what&#x27

I see this comment every-time water resources in the west are mentioned. But industries and Ag exist in a region for a reason, and none of it is related to water. Most industries (esp Ag) exist within vast contractor, raw material supply an

FWIW, I've found most of my discord servers on...Twitter. Discoverability is still a problem. How does everyone else do it?

"To review this camera we went to these most interesting, most beautiful places." Okay...but how does it perform taking pictures of my toy dog in suburb-town USA?

Is there a conversation to be had? I guess stitched videos?

Here's the uncomfortable question though, can a social media platform achieve sufficient scale, so its more useful for discoverability than your group chats, without optimizing for engagement? Discord is a happy medium (just, really la

I swear 8/10 people I've met who say this are suburbanites going into the city to work. They rush around for work all day in the city, then sit alone in a car to get back home, wondering why they haven't met anyone new today.

I would love to learn more about people who've put this much thought into mobile work stations. I move around enough that I can't invest in a permanent setup. Right now, my setup is a macbook in a roost stand, with an ipad propp

AFAICT he's planning on folding to any authoritarian governments demands [1], while fighting for free speech mostly in the American context (and that too, just online). For that, he probably doesn't need Vijaya. I hope someone pay

It maybe worth it to talk about universally superior teaching methods but as far as I can tell no teaching method can survive a teacher not caring. I understand this is not true for all professions. In manufacturing you can write a handbook

At this level, I feel like theres dozens of well-designed 2D web-based intake forms that have fixed this problem without needing a backup human. This seems to be more of a bad/incomplete implementation than a structural problem with ro

No point comparing ourselves to the third world. The American middle-class has different expectations (of pay, of lifestyle, of cultural occupational conditions) than the third world, we just have to accept that. And FWIW, having had gone t

Honestly, they don't even get lip service anymore. Parents micro-managing and mistreating teachers made teaching the leading edge profession of the Great resignation.

It really does feel like all of this hand-wringing around the state micro-managing syllabi (esp in Math), is sort of skirting around the core issue of having better math teachers. This involves paying teachers paying more and treating them

Good point. Though what if the suspect is threatening to shoot others, and there is a robot (with a live round) nearby? I get that cops can't be trusted to only use it in this scenario (as implied by the author), but if hypothetical

Extremism doesn’t need scientific backing to exist but it does need scientific backing to make the center complacent. The shooting was a good example but a better example is an extremist takeover of the government buoyed by a complacent p

Sure but they had full access to 20 years of launch technology from NASA at that point. More generally, I don’t think “Government works slower then private corporations” is that controversial a conclusion. If we’re gonna try to improve it,
