I agree it's not worth the hate, but in my opinion SI units are much more convenient. Using your own example, miles vs kilometers may not feel like a big difference, but the fact that you have proportional units (mm, cm, m, km) for any

Even though it seems clear that the checklist itself has to be well designed, I don't think it's a bad idea to ensure they are followed. Strategies like the one the OP proposed are independent from checklist quality.

Things like this make me wonder: is it really worth for the airlines (I'm also talking about plane manufacturers here) to be this secure? I would assume it's not different from the automotive industry, where the security of your p

It doesn't seem reasonable to me to evaluate if a law is necessary by checking how enforceable it is. Even if a crime is hard to fight, I think that's a problem but not an excuse. And if the problem is the police singling out some

Even though I don't think the car analogy is a good one, I understand that just the fact that something can harm you doesn't make it inherently bad or unethical to use. You have enough control of your car to not kill yourself (or

Different tools have differences though. And some tools harm people more easily than others, independently of the person who uses them. I don't understand why alcohol has such an important place in some cultures and I find disturbing t

I'm not Chilean but my girlfriend is, and I thought of that word instantly when I saw this. Even though I'm not Chilean, I'm from Spain and I think I have a decent grasp on its meaning. It can be used to refer to any person o

Even though I think that wouldn't persuade the protesters, it's an interesting point to make.

Why does it require more time than any other sport such as basketball?

What I understood is just that reflect seems to fit better here, given the most common use cases for the word.

I don't think there's a way to know for sure. I guess we could exchange links that described opposite points of view all day long, but we wouldn't reach any meaningful conclusions. However I fail to understand why this human

Why do you assume these UFOs reached the Earth in a "reasonable" amount of time? The possibility that they were roaming the space for hundreds or even thousands of years before reaching our planet is as reasonable as any other. Ev

No reason to believe the UFOs reached the Earth in a "reasonable" amount of time, though. There are many other interesting possibilities.

Even though you can't visualize his face, can you just describe it?

by sergioj97 7y ago
I can't fully understand the nature of this condition. Can you visualize faces? I assume you can't, but I guess you will be able to, say, describe someone's face without having him/her standing right in front of you, am

IMO this is also true for grappling martial arts, specifically Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Removing strikes and focusing on ground grappling makes a wonderful substrate for a thoughtful martial art. You have plenty of time to think what you are go

I assume you mean acknowledging the different credibility of different sources, instead of just not believing anything at all. It's just as with the academia thing. I don't think the solution is to dismiss formal research and cons

She gave her opinion, but what she received wasn't another opinion, it was a reckless siege against his husband's business. I don't think I understand what your point is. It's not symmetrical at all.

That's much easier to do if you develop a mobile turret from the beginning. The idea is that there are technologies which are fairly harder to use offensively than others.

Is it? It's a complementary opinion, but a rather obvious one. I think the main reason why a reader may just dismiss that point of view is that the article simply doesn't give enough information about that (the relation with his p
