It seems like capping prices would cap inflation, but I can’t think of any great mechanism to accomplish such a cap. Central bank interest rates and taxes are controlled by relatively few people. Prices are controlled by hundreds of thousan

Most Protestant christians believe that the christian bible is divinely inspired. Everything else they believe follows from this first unprovable belief. They may not accept an idea if they feel it conflicts with their personal interpretati

Sadly the linked article hardly has anything to say about giraffes, giraffe breeding, giraffe evolution, or giraffe necks. Should have used the original https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abl8316

It’s definitely not an asset. It’s near practically a consumable. It will degrade with use, and over time. It will not maintain it’s current value, let alone increase in value.

That’s a stretch. I am certain that a square is a rectangle. A rectangle is a 4-sided polygon with four 90 degree corners. The sides can be of equal lengths.

This only applies to professional athletes. Plenty of older people play sports as talented enthusiasts.

Why is it damning that 88% of ammonia is used in fertilizer? Is their some other industry that ought to consume a larger percentage?

Easy! water 150ml = water 150g /pedantry I think the op means it’s nice that the ingredients are given by weight because it is more accurate than volume.

https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scrat... This walks through the creation of a raytracer and a rasterizer in a way that was pretty easy for me to understand. It’s not exhaustive; it’s just right.

I find that equally terrifying. I’ve seen firsthand what happens to a frog when it hops into a coop of 7 chickens

Cattle are big, meat eating fish that sustain several other animals? Cattle in their current form are a “crop” that sort of sustains humans and their pets. It is likely that this is not an efficient way to sustain humans, but it’s easy and

Well they won’t gobble the Atlantic salmon.. What can be done about overfishing of international waters? It seems that the fish is destined to become another farm animal.

I have stepped on a dogs foot. It made a “Yipe!” noise and leapt back. Then it approached me “submissively”, with it’s head held low and tail down. It seems rather “obvious” to me that the animal felt pain, reacted suddenly to the sensation

Gills work by continually “filtering” water as is flows through them. Lungs are filled and then emptied according to some pattern of breath. The difference in volume of fluid processed must be significant. Also, can’t gills have a higher

It’s not your fault and you should adjust your perspective. The joke is on you! Off brand awful humor that makes light of the worst. It actually seems fitting!

This only applies in areas that already use electric heaters. Anywhere else poor people cannot afford to replace their gas heater with an electric one. And if they rent they have no choice, it’s up to the landlord. In some locales it is com

I would consider purchasing an electric boiler if the average operating cost was significantly lower. Eventually this will make sense, but it’s not something that will happen in my neck of the woods in the next 20 years.

Woopty doo, you don’t “technically” need nuclear power to go carbon neutral. If it shaves a decade or two off the process isn’t it worth it? Eventually you can start retiring nuclear plants, but in the mean time isn’t it better to focus on

Where I live the vast majority of heat is produced by natural gas or propane. This includes water boilers, water heaters, clothes dryers, cooking ranges and ovens.

You said “studying philosophy” rather than “being tested on rote memorization of philosophy text books”. I agree that “studying philosophy” is a worthwhile endeavor, but I align more closely with the parents in regards to memorizing the sem

So whales poop krill which feeds algae which feeds krill. Add in sunlight and saltwater microorganisms and I guess it’s possible that whales eating then shitting krill = even more krill. But like so many complex systems it’s hard to draw an

One batter vs a team. Every play is easily delineated into singular acts by individual players. There is no such thing as a “block” or “assist”. It’s easier to write about. It’s easier to allegorize. Baseball depends on individual performa

The linked article is not really about the instrument. It’s about the inventors of the instrument trying to use copyright laws (or any legal means) to stop the automated manufacturing of the “handpan”. Their artistic conviction seems to be

In the long run, everything is ephemeral. A digital archive could potentially last longer than a book or a vinyl, as long as the archivist takes care to maintain the integrity of the data.. Except in a sense that isn’t true at all. In the

When my own code presents a bug I tend to chase it back to it’s “philosophical roots”. I tried to work out edge cases from the beginning; to handle invalid data; to swat the bugs before they appeared. A bug reared it’s little insectoid head

It wasn’t a dumb accident, and law enforcement isn’t to blame in this case. The police response was deliberately incited by a group of malicious individuals. How can minors, who typically are given lighter sentences, be discouraged from “sw

When you say you can “hear data movement on PCBs”, do you mean you have some kind of superhuman ability, or that you know how to use some combination of instrumentation and analysis to “hear” the data?
