I’ve read the article but don’t see details on there about Canada having restrictions on buying homes. Can you elaborate on what the restrictions are, outside of the price being too high for many people? I imagine the person you’re replying

This is a common thread on heat pump threads, where numbers like 300% efficiency are quoted. The explanation, as I understand it, is that it’s not creating 3 or 4 kW of heat for each kW of power drawn: it’s moving those 3 or 4 kW from outsi

I remember it, I feel that focusing just on that portion of the quote is a cherry-picked view. There was more to the quote that showed a misunderstanding of the system, which, at least in my circles, caused a lot of the mockery: > an Int

But they were talking about total wealth amassed, net worth, while you say “per year” as in income. Completely different metrics.

You’re absolutely right! My bad, I appear to have forgotten that rule by the time I commented. Glad I called it a violation :)

The nuance on that one felt odd. I said that it did violate the rule (even the spirit of the rule, being a large motor vehicle), because it was a binary question. I also felt the rule violation was justified and that they shouldn’t be calle

The comment they were replying to didn’t sound long term. It specified “now” in the first sentence, so at best short-medium term. The “everyone just needs to do <x>” part wasn’t a reference to a long term idea, it was them replying to

The landing page they linked suggests it’s possible, but makes it sound like it might be more work to do so: > BlockNote is built for React and exposes easy-to-use components. However, it is possible to use BlockNote with other framework

Welp, guess I picked a bad one. Paper Bird Inc seems to be owned by Sam Bankman-Fried… but anyway maybe they aren’t all owned by him, and regardless it might partially explain why the revenue numbers GP was looking up are much lower than th

On the other hand: why? Browsers already have a back button that works that way. Users are used to back buttons on the page moving up some in-app hierarchy, which, admittedly maybe they oughtn’t be used to because maybe it’s not a good patt

Weaponized “kindness” sounds a little bit oxymoronic to me, would what’s being weaponized not be closer to “niceness”? Unless it’s second-order / indirect through people meaning well.

In my personal experience, inner monologue can vary within an individual as well. Some days mine is similar to what you’ve described (“me hungry, want lasagna” - love it!) but other times it can be 2-4 voices all debating a topic from diffe

He did specify high school though, rather than college/university (or a generic like “school” or “academia”). We’re probably all over-reading this quote but it did come off as a “grow up” comment in my reading as well, intended or not.

Totally, and this seems to be exactly the type of tunnel that the article’s author is discussing, evidenced by the second point they make: > Tunnels have a smaller height difference than bridges. Only need clearance for the height of a c

Steel-manning, they could have meant that the larger risk makes this smaller on insignificant. Adding 1 to 1,000,000,000 also results in a larger number - not that I think the actual compared risks could be given these numbers on any scale,

Not believing in Gambler’s Fallacy is already believing there will be more “20 in a row same side than 21 in a row same side” - its believing there are 50% more in a way. After the 20 have landed the next flip will still be 50/50. Ju

Sure but my disagreement was with > help it along Does it actually help them along if it’s that many items? It’s hard for me to imagine that 217 instances of a 6 letter word instead of a 7 letter word is much easier to format. My view is

That makes it sound like the typo is made in just a few places to make the line fit. Search missile, there are 0 results. Search missle and there are 217. The consistent and plentiful usage makes me strongly believe it’s just how the author

You’re correct that they often aren’t, but all the same I find it amusing to read this comment attached to a StackOverflow link where the exact person who suggested “gimme gimme gimme” and the implementer both answered. Obviously not the on

Why can’t it be both? Could have a logarithmic scale, could have it increase by a fraction of a % of $(value - currentTax) so that it increases more slowly over time. Not saying I agree with the underlying idea, just confused about why “inc

Some of the listed uses are not about saving time or energy - though admittedly most were, and seem excessive to me as well. The automated lights and blinds in the morning, for example, can for some improve sleep quality compared to a stand

Sounds like that’s the Apollo app. It’s a pretty nice feature but I find it only seems to work for me when I open the app, so I have to force close it. There’s probably a button for it somewhere, but having one on the home page (or similar)
