People (mostly) don't complain about books because we fail to recognize the trade off, or else we accept it, but there are certainly useful places for memorization of large amounts of information. Not only is it more easily summoned wh

I hope this isn't too unfair an analogy, but your idea reminds me of trying to get wealthier people to ride buses with wifi and frills, when it's consistent, frequent, reliable service that they want (just like everyone else; the

So, can you explain why 'cyber' is stupid? Are you saying it's stupid because media can't handle the topic competently? I hope not; that's possibly the lowest bar ever set for stupidity.

What are you talking about? Can you define some of the problems you're trying to solve? It feels like you're writing a parody of something. The post is about keeping bike lanes simple and cheap so we'll just build them alread

And you know what else is a ridiculous demand on drivers: stop signs! When they demand I drop from 40mph to zero, you can't be surprised that I don't just lie down and take it. Sure, I legally "shouldn't" have stole

So do you have a solution in mind, or are you asking for one? If the latter, then it's simple: narrower lanes. If you make the lanes 9ft wide in each direction, I promise that you will never again be delayed by the speed of bikers, tho

All of the advice is the same. It has different implications and obstacles, but the advice is the same. Make lifestyle changes, and you'll have a spouse/children to drag along/convince. Make a switch to a job that pays better

The underlying assumption to the 4% rule is that you get the average 7% growth of the US stock market. This allows for 4% withdrawal and 3% to keep up with inflation, which historically would have worked at almost all points in the US marke

You'd like to think they'd investigate why some of their new planes cause hypoxia. Unfortunately, the scale of the problem makes it easier to try to understand why one variant (Marine Corps) ISN'T having the problem. https:&

The iPad mini is the perfect indoor reading device. That's a pretty casual use case.

Maybe I'm being dense and saying the same thing as you, but it's more about the difference from outside to inside. In the mid Atlantic of the US, 22C can be pretty pleasant, but in the South turning it below 26C is a much more ple

Without having visited the site in question, the underlying theme is that you, as the security people, have to choose your battles because employees start to get very upset when you make their jobs difficult in order to show them how little

I think you're simplifying the relationships too much. First of all, you can't very easily make more qualified workers because you promised too much to too many pensioners. Those pensioners are counting on promises from their too-

Most discussions about "fully funded" safety nets go something like this. It's the reason, so far as I can tell, why Republicans talk about social security being trillions in the hole while others point out that the money in

You embarrass yourself by responding to parent's inane political jab. It's pure signalling, without any hint of substance to contradict. But, if you insist on making a straw man out of it, as you have, the popular term seems to be

I think your comment and the article both pointed toward the same thing without saying it: we don't know enough to brute force our way to good health with engineered food, so we should have humility and embrace a combination of traditi

I'd be more specific and say that you can far more easily increase your body's wastefulness by strengthening your legs rather than your arms, because a given increase in muscle should be smaller percentage-wise. And lunges don&#x

Can you give examples of what we've been missing in recent years? I count the Atlantic among only a few news publications that are worth a damn.

Clearly my experience is not normal, but chrome is on its way out in my life. On Android, I've been pushed to Firefox for ad blocking, while on Windows it's such a battery hog that I've switched to edge almost completely (the

I have now! Hopefully you're accusing me only of saying 'micro-oscillations' when I ought to have said "shrinks and swells slightly at regular intervals."

The pen is amazing for what it does. You can annotate things on the same machine where you're doing everything else. It's also a wonderful machine for flying. But you pay up for those things. So for you, definitely just get the so

To get a higher number, no doubt. However, it may be excusable given that many buyers may be coming from SP3.

As some others have said, the kickstand can actually be more convenient in tight spaces (especially flights.) Most of the time, it's perfectly lap-able (typing this from a chair by my pool.) Additionally, it has the great feature of el

It's true that I've only tried iris recognition in dedicated setups. Sadly, I can't speak to whether this test is within the abilities of a standard smartphone camera without any macro lens.

'hippus', specifically 'physiological hippus', or ' pupillary athetosis', seem to be the correct terms for what I was describing as 'micro-dilations'. Saccades, as I understand it, is rotational shift

Saccades is not what I was referring to. 'Micro-dilations' was my attempt to describe the phenomenon. After some searching, I believe it's called hippus (maybe specifically 'physiological' hippus, to distinguish fro

Agreed that Europe is a bad basis for comparison; it's only what I had, not what I would prefer to use. I can't substantiate this, but it seems that there is a small number of US cities where it is difficult to have cars, and easy

Edit: 'micro-oscillation' was a term that I lazily invented to describe a phenomenon with which I am only passingly familiar. It is actually called 'hippus' or ' pupillary athetosis'.

That is exactly what I meant. Like you're probably thinking, my estimate IS an amateurish one, taking into account no business admin/healthcare/etc. But I remember implementing this (as a small part of a project) at a time wh
