The problem is that it only takes some passive support to establish the system initially, but removing it takes the majority of people actively complaining.

This game is an excellent demonstration of the dehumanizing effects of bureaucratic structure on personal interactions.

A reasonable rate means the market rate before you deflate it with cheap labor. I've personally worked 3 of those jobs so yea it's pretty surprising that everyone thinks americans are unwilling to do this stuff.

What jobs will Americans not consider at a reasonable pay rate?

If you include the Bpa from the plastic itself as contamination, that puts it at closer to 100%.

I'd be interested in a version that included SAS. Is SAS ever used outside of academia?

I'm not sure you can just "build higher" to avoid the impact of ocean water destroying your building; otherwise they would likely be building in the ocean already.

Yea maybe you're right and you can only partially modify it.

An ECU is not typically remotely controlled and updated. You can also replace an ECU, to one with more control so that you can fine tune performance. For cars that do have that feature, I doubt hiring lawyers will change anything. No one is

The ideal things to be broken are the structures that currently prevent collective long term survival. While not all VC's focus on this, I think PG does. After all, what is the alternative?

It makes no sense to leave things out of a description of a complex system to help someone to understand it better. Have you considered educators might not want 17 year olds to understand things that are "too dangerous"? Because t

Plastics already oxidize through UV, thermal, and hydrolysis reactions.

Yet it doesn't get eaten at all if it's submerged because the organisms that produce the ligase to break down lignin, the structural component of wood, require oxygen.

I suppose they don't believe in their own ability to educate students enough to generate ideas that pay for themselves via research grants; otherwise it would be more profitable to charge less.

Interesting observation. Globalism includes ideas, as small interesting ideas grow the established more powerful and exploitive ideas can absorb the meme momentum then reassociate the imagery and ideas as their own.

Intent definitely matters. Freedom of speech protects satire, but doesn't protect threats.

You could teach old people to stop trying to charge 100K for some ridiculous degree as a prerequisite to enter certain job markets, but they already seem aware of the problems they're causing.

Seems like this would happen when many people ask the same question and you don't have an answer so you post the best response you can.

I wonder how much the energy required to organize 100k people would reduce the effiency gains of they were accounted for.

A quick search shows tnt has 4 kJ / g while paraffin has 42 kJ / g. A lot of energy is in paraffin's hydrocarbon chain, but less energy per bond and it is less accessible.

You could use a capacitor to output higher watts for a short duration.

That's not how football is approached. I think GP's point is that football is approached by selecting for those with the most potential and maximizing that and that math teachers can't be like football coaches really.

Because you quote occam's razor then give no simple direct mechanism of action. There is a big gap in how a few degrees average heat increase causes mood disorders. It's more likely, for example, the result of the ten's of th

Stats is theory + math not just math. Maybe not even any math at all, just light programming using stats libraries. If you apply them wrong though, that's a big problem. Biological experiment design is a grad course, so 500 level. Stil

I'm not sure how 200 level math courses prepare you to review anything more than the most basic experiment designs.

You're right about the money argument. However, everyone is effected by this infrastructure so the roll out should require some justification regardless of who's money it is. The 95% of people who own cell phones don't necess
