Banana republic does not sell quality clothing. Cheap construction, priced for branding.

Education must come into play. Your own case illustrates this, as there is no such consensus view. And even granting the possibility that you are exaggerating for effect, it's hard to find a field of knowledge with more contention than

For sure, sharpening analysis chops is a good reason, but in a world of finite time, and an overabundance of important decisions to make regarding one's life, there's no shortage of analysis fodder to begin with. And no doubt that

For certain types of decisions, one can safely rely on prior experience. I know to a high degree of certainty that most entrees at a moderate to high quality restaurant have roughly the same value, therefore choosing quickly is best because

Thanks for the clarification, I can see how that might be frustrating.

I'm an SRE and currently on a mission to get code into prod as fast and safely as possible. Instead of painting such a broad, generic negative picture, maybe articulate an actual position to argue against.

"userbase is disproportionately tech savvy enough to reject telemetry" You need data to support that claim. To me, it sounds unlikely. My guess, most users accept telemetry, tech savvy or not. For instance, I'm tech savvy, an

In a different context or some other format, I would not have been so brief. But the point of the list was simply to rattle off indications of ideas, not to communicate concepts with reliable clarity. Further, what's pretentious to one

The top of your monitor should also be eye level, and slightly angled up, so you never look up, only straight or down. Better for your neck. If you're doing this, then your webcam will also be nearly eye level as well.

Because it'd be totally weird for someone with otherwise high intelligence to "just be bad" at something basically everyone else with normal+ intelligence is good at. Like, you wouldn't expect there to be an explanation?

Yeah, this is not good at all. Even something arguably well-executed and compatible with "established" style heuristics, like Grammarly, will always be dubious, as they perpetuate the myth of linguistic prescriptivism weaponized b

My 2018 Honda Civic variable speed control was excellent. Its lane assistance was crap. My 2022 Honda Civic variable speed control is even better, and the lane assistance is outstanding. The thing basically drives itself in 90% of the condi

This is something akin to isolated demands for rigor. Apparently these features are not essential to KtF-ness, because most people look at these pictures and see unambiguous KtF.

If the results are actually impressive, then the dismissive rhetoric doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

Agreed. They are self-evident, high-quality representations of KtF. When faced with disagreement on that, it's hard to know what to say in response to convince someone other than to point to another canonical representation of KtF and

Again, you'll need to offer something else if you wish to credibly defend your claim, because that post is not doing the work you think it is.

It does sound professional, to be honest. His tone is measured, he explains his position, gives reasons for his choices, and offers a plausible timeline. This particular piece of evidence is not conclusive, but neither is it in your favor.

I've got to squint pretty hard to see this. Seems pretty mundane and non-satirical to me. Birds have viruses and bird sociality contributes to them. Just stands to reason that controlling contributing factors like bird feeders would be

Why does epistemic purity matter? The results are astounding.

Not going to reply other than to say characterizing my comment as nonsense is unfairly dismissive. Be a kind interlocutor if you want dispassionate, reasoned engagement.

The schools closed before we allowed the virus to course through the school system. We did not have good data. The decisions to close the schools was made to prevent the conditions that would supply that data.

The evaluation of the quality of the decision should be made by taking into account the constraints and quality of priors that were inputs into the decision. Outcomes are probabilistic. Using results as the evaluation metric is mistake. We

Again, we should not fall prey to resulting. It's not about what we did know, it's about what we didn't. Early on, we had no idea how the virus was interacting with children and the school system. Being under-cautious would h
