Entry-level and non-senior positions have truly hellish interview processes. Five-six interview stages, week+ take-home projects, ghosting, zero-feedback. Large number of companies interviewing with no intention of hiring. This is absolutel

Apparently there have only been two recorded deaths from nutmeg. One was an eight year-old boy who consumed at least two whole nutmegs and the other a college student who consumed 4 tablespoons (28g) of powdered nutmeg. Although there are c

It's completely fair enough to argue that a language/tools is a bad at what it is made to do, but this needs to be pared out from tool choice . A baking spatula makes a bad cooking spatula. It's pliable and can easily scrape

I think it's very naive for a programming language to make you "wince", tools are tools.

I appreciate them trialling new designs. Although I think the absolutely most confusing thing about the undergound (especially as a visitor or a newbie) is how incoming trains are labelled if there are multiple branches on a line. These wil

Every time this gets brought up it gets called a moral panic. I'm now convinced "moral panic" is a thought terminating cliche in this case. These systems are basically algorithmically addicting, like gambling. We don't l

That the body is a complex buffered system of variable effeciency is not in dispute - nor is it intractable with the thermodynamic position. It is always realistic to achieve a thermodynamic deficit, that there is some buffer or hysterisi

You are being selectively pedantic; a hallmark of bad faith engagement.

Are there no valid moral panics? Are you a moral anti-realist?

When did we lose the moral authority to make things illegal for minors? I believe in 50-100 years it will be a worldwide scandal that these skinner boxes were ever given to children let alone adults. AI optimised attention slideshow that li

I don't have many words for you, but I would like you to consider that: "Do you have any outrage left over for the parents who brought children into the world without the ability to feed them?" Is an unnatural question. One t

Food poverty and especially child food poverty are inexcusable political choices. This political choice is supported by a small plurality of morally defunct voters who have been compromised by several decades of propaganda from the oligar

My understanding was that there was a currency error in the original research that vastly overestimated the flow. From fantastic reporting here on the FT. https://www.ft.com/content/cee5e4fd-2353-4958-a5f8-c4a802024...

I've taken a look over the evidence and some of the examples. I am unimpressed. This reads like a very undergraduate teardown. Missing a bin in a histogram that maintains the general trend in a pop science book? My eyes roll into the

Regardless of its effectiveness (I largely agree with with your posted study), the negative externalities of attempting to "nudge" and control the narrative are enormous. You now have government departments with an existential m

Agreed. Most are very open and public about their activities and purpose. It seems like most conspiracy theories are just honeypots for institutions like the studiously benign "Behavioural Insights Team". The BBC (and other public

Hours of TV watched a day are unintuitive to me, and by my opinion absurdly high. I discovered a few months ago, this graph: https://www.statista.com/statistics/269918/daily-tv-viewing-... Which completely shifted

The issue with Chesterton's fence is something of a meta-problem in conversation and politics in general. It is the ultimate thought terminating cliche. If you accept it as given it allows you to build walls faster than you can investi

Ultimately protectionism has many negative externalities. At best you are amortizing the pain of your economy becoming uncompetitive, at worst you are permanently kneecapping your future competitiveness.

The intro had me totally stun locked, it seemed to present a complete scenario and I was struggling to understand the context. There is much more explanation significantly though the article (for others a bit confused by it).

I went travelling recently and maybe I'm becoming grumpy and old, but it was barely possible to move for people ambling around with their phone/camera/selfie stick. It felt much much worse than I ever remembered it being.

This issue with hot houses would be solved with better insulation. Better insulation would also increase energy efficiency in both hot climates and cold. I think you need to use a more precise term, maybe something like heat retention.
