This is great insight! I've watched a coleague/friend do this and it is both amazing and disturbing -- it might seem almost robot-like to some(like, "why aren't you getting mad, doesn't the bullshit this other perso

This is the same universe that gave rise to the Tide Pod challenge. Perhaps in the far future there will be a Find a wormhole challenge where future human teenagers will dive their spaceships into a blackhole they think is in fact the entra

If the wormhole is somehow artificially made, no, because, as far as I understand, you have to drag the exit hole through space, and thus you are limited by the speed of light. As to naturally occurring wormhole, I don't think there is

Isn't there another "Kessler syndrome" we need to talk about? The colision of signals travelling in free space, that is. Unless we talk about super directional signals, eventually we will run out of bandwidth to talk to those

That's not rambling at all. No matter what you believe about humans -- that we have a soul or we are (just) very complex biological machinery, in the end, everything scientists do, do for human kind. High achieving scientists tend to

If everybody has access to the pool of fake money: you get inflation. If only a handful of fools do, you will get economic devastation sooner or later, because you remove the feedbacks of capitalism and hand the reins to monkeys that just h

But how can you then claim you're better and cheaper than a taxi company?

by raducu 6y ago
I am a "contractor", but yeah, if you only work for one company for X months, you should be an employee. If all your money comes via a single company, even if you phisically work at a different place each day, you should be an emp

How is that different from a regular taxi driver? Where's the "sharing" in the "ride share" if the driver is forced to take any ride?
761.
by raducu 6y ago
To some extent, they are right. To their customers, they pretty much are a (more convenient) taxi company. To their drivers? They are a shittier taxi company that doesn't provide cars, yet still charges drivers 25% of fares in excha

Is there any scientific consensus/studies showing hydroxycloriquine as effective? As far as I know, the biggest impact right now seem to be: anti-clotting medication, steroids, turning the patient on his belly and avoiding intubation f

If I understand correctly, the mRNA vaccines have the added benefit that there are no existing antibodies that destroy the modified virus, like the adenovirus vaccines. Sure, the Oxford vaccine uses an adenovirus that is not present in huma

While I agree in principle, there are things that are much harder for adults to learn -- like perfect pitch. Perhaps children are much more immersed into the activity than adults. I recently stopped all cartoons for my 2.5 year old daughter

Given that a square of 300X300km would produce enough electricity to power the WHOLE WORLD, and 300X300km square of ocean is such a minuscule thing, I'd say -- no measurable impact.

Aren't the metal structure that can bridge the gap more expensive than the ones planted on ground? If land is expensive, then it might be worth it.

In the past, I've tried a lot of recreational drugs, including some opioids, and without trying to, I can't see how I could get myself addicted to opioids or benzodiazepines, but I know a LOT of people would. As far as I remember,

But I think the guy did that, it just took him a couple of seconds to register. Remember, you knew it was an explosion before watching the video. I remember I got the same reaction, but I've watched the video multiple times, I think th

Isn't it also used as a cost effective explosive in some places? I mean, perhaps thats the reason it was not made inert when it was fabricated in Ukraine. It was on the Lebanese authorities to properly store or dispose of it after they

Perhaps because of their hard life and reliance on their strength it was beneficial to have lower pain thresholds so they would avoid injury.

This so much! It al boils down to how much money police can get out of fines and how many licenses they can suspend, AND how easy they can do that. If they lack measuring equipment, the fine is too low, police won't bother enforcing a

Obviously, someone has to hold the bag, but who? You cannot just expect everybody to receive their guaranteed returns on investment as if nothing happened. But who and how much -- that is a very tough decision.

Of course at some point, if the spread of virus is uncontained, the real numbers are going to be much higher than numbers of tests. If all of the world reached Bergamo stage, there would be no way to test 57% of the world population. That d

The problem is in as much as 50% of the cases, the same deadly virus causes no symptoms in some, so you really don't know if you are asymptomatic because of the strain or your immune system.

I don't think its mostly bullshit -- but that for so long we used text formalism as a measure of truthfulness and knowledge of the author and now we see those things we hailed as the pinnacle of formal education to be so easily replica

If I had to speculate, I'd say the lady has 90% of the hardware that enables empathy, just that she doesn't feel pain, she cannot empathize with pain and things deriving from pain, just like I can't empathize with bats using
