   I'm pretty new to this sort of optimization stuff, so forgive me if this is ridiculous for any reason, but I'm wondering about two things reading this: 1: is it useful / feasible to set a sort of "lower bound" to th

   This is specifically what I'm referring to. Temperatures are already getting lethally hot and we're not really doing all that much about it. It's not resource scarcity that seems like the killer, here.

   thanks for the article, it was a great read. I wonder what new research on the cascadia subduction zone had happened since 2015 when it was published - and what changes in the forecasts might have to be made post-COVID-19, given new data on

    eh, some morale needs hurting. If I somehow suddenly found myself working for the reichstag, it would be a moral injury to simply find a new employer. Whistleblowing at all levels is important. Whether reasons are legitimate is something of

    I'm curious as to where you got the impression that conspiracy theorizing is a standard reaction to "too much acid". I've not seen anything of the sort despite a fair amount of exposure to the culture.

    Companies can already do this; there are plenty of opportunities for outsourcing - and yet, somehow that "exodus of employment" hasn't yet happened - I get the sense that while going full remote may cause some jobs to get o

    So much this. I'm still hoping for the work-from-home revolution's best possible side effect: the leveling of the political playing field as safe districts get flooded with politically urban expats.

    So, the traders did something explicitly forbidden and didn't get penalized for it; that doesn't sound like being "kept in check" to me. Never mind those manipulations that make it through the regulatory filter, a la mor

    I was under the impression that Edison was actually more how you describe a 21st century shop, and was more of a CEO type, but I admit that this isn't based on deep knowledge. I often wonder how many of our rosy perceptions of the past

    I see a lot of comments discussing the legitimacy of the investigative technique, and whether "lobbyists being lobbyists" is bad. For those of us who agree that lobbying sucks and that Greenpeace is fighting a worthy fight, I want
