Haha, sadly not a Scientologist so I must admit ignorance.

Amusing how books have to achieve a certain vintage before names from them become acceptable. I wonder if, in the year 3000, it will be acceptable to name a child Arwen and not have it thought of as weird. Or perhaps there needs to arise a

It's not that we don't. It's that we can't. Most public sector jobs have a ratchet on cost to employ. i.e. cost only goes up over time. For instance, you cannot employ a janitor for BART even though you need one. Why? Th

This is the skill I most actively attempt to cultivate and haven't managed to. John Carmack is the person who most embodies this ethos. It's always "How can I accomplish this?" rather than "Can this be accomplished?

Wait till you read about what will happen to you if you decide to get TB and not take your meds. You'll be sovereign citizening your way into DOT before you make a new XDR strain for us.

Haha, what a first world solution to the problem. Though I must ask: if you're going to petition the government to regulate carriers so that you can see government censorship, why not just ask the government to tell you when they'

That's life, my man. If you think you're going to get the same access as Raj Chetty is, you're in for a rude surprise. The society of academia is built on trust and since people abhor providing information, academics who have

Very cool. Thank you for sharing!

Listen, if you're going to cut off quotes to make up an imagined problem then you're not contributing. The very next words are "so clearly" which hits your "nice explanation" part. Listen, I'm going to tel

And that's what good engineering is. When you know your product can't do the job, you don't put it in a position of responsibility. If you can't do it safely, don't do it. That's good engineering. Physical worl

No. You usually use service discovery and it's often DNS based. You can do that if you use Consul and stuff like that and it allows you to bring in new things on the fly.

Interesting, but that sounds like a thing I wouldn't want to treat! Less fatness eh? Yeah, they are the ones that give me trouble.

Pricing is everything when you don't have product differentiation. You will win if you lower your price and the other guy sells himself as the nice guy. It's the most common revealed preference. People do exist who care about thes

You know you have the bad guy. He knows he's bad. But the system is going to let him get away. He's not a child pornographer but you and I both know we don't put other people away the way we did Al Capone. He knows he's

God damn it. That happens to me with Xylitol and Maltitol. Guess I just have to suck it up and not eat sweet stuff.

My god, this is amazing. I don't even know why I didn't think something like this may exist even though we all studied isomers in school. Are there other flavouring agents that use non-bioavailable isomers that pass right through

No, I do not believe it requires any such assumption. I am 100% likely to die, as is everyone. That's the nature of living. We all have an expiry date. When I'm wheeled in for whatever reason, car accident, fell in the bathroom, t

Oh it most certainly is a moral one, which is why I'm asking that you commit to save my life when it needs saving. Unless you somehow imagine that letting me die is morally desirable? At which point, it'll take a lot more to con

A reasonable deal to me sounds like they can do one of three things: * Procure from someone else * Procure from me at my price * Sign an irrevocable deal that at any point I will give them any N95 and P100 masks I have they desire and in ex

Well, less effective isn't ineffective. The physical properties of the device don't change, so maybe the cost/benefit doesn't lie in buying them now, but I have my stack so it looks like it's worthwhile to use them.

Well, I got that little piece of history from the Gabriel Falcao about how it was all formed which is really neat so that makes it worthwhile. I think we usually expect these to be someone's cry for help but here it's just an inte

At the time it was a big deal, you went all GTK or all KDE/QT and your desktop looked ugly if you didn't. Also everyone was obsessed with 'bloat' and KDE had that rep.

I too, have a box N95 and some P100 I bought in preparation for California fire season way before this crisis. On the Internet, everyone is super concerned with insight porn style stuff. So "actually X won't" or "actuall

This is awesome. I hope more places do this and I have to interact with the minimum number of people through the experience. It'll also be great if there were a high-end store that was for low-problem-shoppers only. i.e. I'd like

I guess the point is that while many say what you do here, many of those also say "No! Using lambdas and reduces is great but saying `+/!10` is impossibly terse". Essentially that's just the Blub Paradox in action. Sadly

The Gates Foundation is only issuing home testing kits in Seattle so it's hard to argue for elsewhere. However, I'm comfortable negotiating the terms. What are yours? I'd like to have a conclusion within a reasonable time so

Here's something I could say about these accusations: "Interesting, this sounds like something a Koch-funded hit-job on Gates would say. In fact, it also sounds like what a spokesperson for Big Hand Sanitizer would say. Or really,

If I have it, I know to self-quarantine. That's useful to me because I don't want to infect people. Listen, normally, questions like this are useful but this one is obvious.

This is mindless hysteria. And I suspect you know it. On the other hand, maybe you do, in fact, believe it. Let's make a good faith attempt to test how truly we believe in our predictions. I predict that the Gates Foundation permitting
