My house was built in 1650 and doesn’t take much maintenance at all. Definitely not more than the equivalent in rent I’d pay for it.

What happened when they ignore dthe order from the judge? Nothing?

I always understood that usage to mean that there are deeper, unexpected layers, not that the time spent is necessarily valuable. “Discover the lost art and science of the London system” (in chess) would be a deep dive into it, rather than

One can’t help but wonder why people would make mistakes when they could simply choose not to.

Does this not work on mobile? I don’t seem to be seeing it on iOS Chrome.

Your mileage may vary, it’s a bit too “contrarian to generate views” for my taste, but check out his video history and see if it might be the kind of thing you’re into.

Credibility of evidence is not totally subjective. I (and you, and anyone) can personally prove in a variety of ways that the earth is not flat, but still many people believe there is a conspiracy that the earth is round. Of course they all

Some companies have a culture where everything is discussed in meetings, and if you aren’t in all the meetings none of the context is anywhere else to be found. The best thing to do (if you want to catch up) is ask someone who seemed to kno

Isn’t that a good thing? I can deliver a bunch of non-credible evidence for basically anything I make up. It’s unfortunate if a person is blowing a whistle on something real but can’t actually prove it, but the alternative is just believing

If we are still doing the trolley problem it would be “the brakes have failed, and … do you continue straight and definitely hit A, or turn the wheel and definitely hit B”.

by synu 4y ago
Is the trolley scenario intended as a blame-finding simulation? I thought it was more like “what (ethical) choice do you make in a difficult situation” deal. You surely still have some agency after your brakes failed. Or at least if it happ

by synu 4y ago
This only works as long as the defectors have no evidence, right? That seems like it would be harder to guarantee.

You could adjust the question to be “the brakes have failed and..” to avoid that out.

Very small detail, it’s from Mitchell & Webb Look, but Peep Show is great too.

Who would be forcing you to do that in theory?

I travel back and forth between App Store regions frequently, and some things are only available in one place or the other. I’d also like the ability to actually use a different browser, not just reskinned Safari. There would probably also

It’s Morbin’ Time (Morbius) was a similar recent joke where the comedy came from pretending a bad movie was good.

As a regular user I’m looking forward to all the same!

That's true, though I suppose if they had stuck the landing the relative decline after the end of season four (which I agree with) would have been forgiven.

Meet the Feebles never seems to come up either.. one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meet_the_Feebles

It's not necessarily bad if you have someone amazing in charge of casting, but it's really hard to build a cast out of people who nobody has heard of who it turns out are actually incredible talents. Known actors are a known quant

It's amazing how they managed to go from beloved franchise to salted earth in one season. People used to rewatch the seasons, but not so much now that they know where it's all headed.

A lot of hobbies have gone away from doing it for the pleasure or intrinsic reward of it, but to do it to become the best in the world or professional at it. It can sometimes be fun to gamify self-improvement but there’s also something to b

Yeah, maybe, that’s why I said I wasn’t sure if he was an idiot. He sounded a little surprised to me. But I still wouldn’t have personally done it.

I don't know if the guy is an idiot or not but I personally wouldn't have handed the wheel over to an AI right next to a school bus in order to find out if it was going to run the kids over.

That is terrifying! I try to stay away from Teslas I see on the road because they are completely unpredictable. I think I'd prefer being near a poor driver with their attention on the controls to Autopilot with a poor driver not paying

It would be cool if this also told you why you might want to do the thing it’s describing.

At least for me, whenever I go down these productivity rabbit holes I spend so much time getting everything set up just so that I never actually get around to benefitting from the thing I was trying to build. I used do the same thing with h

I think that’s a pretty reasonable plan, and I would do the same. I don’t want to end up with a large stake in something I don’t have a corresponding level of control over. Sticking around to hand things over smoothly makes a ton of sense,
