I think the incentive you mean is to move out of a stock you think is overvalued (I agree about that). But that works with any purchase, not just Twitter. And with that motive in mind, Twitter would be a really unwise company to buy, when t

I'll tell you how it turned out for me in the end: Got vaccinated so I could travel. Got Covid after that anyway, mild inconvenience. May have gotten it before vaccination, hard to say. Symptoms were mild and not different than a cold

It lends itself to despotic elite rule a lot less effectively than oil though, as you need so much less of it and the economic cost of it is so much less. Consider if you compare the cost of keeping a petroleum-burning 5 MW plant going for

It would not be surprising to come into a restaurant kitchen and see the owner holding a big knife. He might even gesture without setting the knife down first.

When I wear a watch it is mechanical. While I like the idea of the Apple watch etc., it would be taking on another thing that involves regular upgrades, learning about new/changes features, keeping track of what the new hardware can do

Assumptions being too optimistic or simply wrong, is a kind of incompetence though isn't it?

We should assume that before an investigation like that gets publicized, it has been going on for a few months, and allegations had been made weeks/months before that.

He's not comparing quality, as much as quantity. Building a small utility function, general enough for your intended use, brings in less code than adding a library dependency. That's the argument. TLS is an example of when you pro

Its not really so clear though, that the next fab rev would come through on time. They often don’t and these product plans are developed years in advance.

Even if a civilization out there had faster-than-light travel, they would most likely not know we were here. They would need to decide to come explore near us, probably need to expensively slow down to sub-light speeds to look for signs of

Also, who knows how long the window would last where a civilization uses electromagnetic waves to communicate, in the ways we would look for them? We've only used them for a hundred-plus years or so, maybe in another hundred we will be

I'm both a Github user and a Fossil user. I use Fossil for all of my own projects, because the common operations have less friction and everything runs very fast locally. I'm including wiki, ticketing, etc. in the "common ope

It's the type of nursing home. If you are in an "assisted living" home, it is less. As a data point, maybe $5800/mo in CA, which includes food and various social programs.

I've found this to be true as well. I will pay more to shop in a store that staffs adequately so that I don't waste time, and pays checkers enough that they can hire as needed.

Indeed. Farmers grow a lot of things. Some are useful as human food. Some fewer are necessary food. Of the necessary food, could we, possibly, get it from somewhere else? Somewhere with more water?

> the idea that N small reactors with N times as many parts will somehow require less maintenance is wishful thinking. Not sure that's necessarily true. Building a lot of something allows you to learn fast and update designs for hig

Right, I mentioned it was controlled for. I meant people not in a study, that are in pain, being less empathetic to others. The study showed that people taking this drug became less empathetic, due to the drug, not the pain. I'm saying

Their conviction just lacks the interest and attention of San Francisco's DA. The DA's job is to convict them, but he has opted not to. That DA was voted in by the citizens of SF, and it is up to them to change that in the next el

Sure, whenever I can't find a convenient plastic bag when I need to defecate, I just do it in the street, because, what choice do I have?

by spfzero 4y ago
It is clear that the majority are drug addicts. That's known and uncontested. Whether that affects their motivation to find a sanitary place to defecate is maybe up for discussion, but I think it's a good bet that it does.

You have to suspect that the underlying reason people are taking a pain reliever in the first place also makes them less empathetic to others. That could even be a larger effect than the one found in the study. Understand that's contro

I found it pretty remarkable that Theranos was not even mentioned, at least in comparison. Theranos makes the author's case far better than Tesla, though not better than We Work.

The article mentioned something about the company being liable for anything that happens if there is no driver. At first that didn't sound quite right to me, aren't they already liable to that degree? Then I remembered contractors
