They already have the "infrastructure" to prevent one person from bringing on two carry-ons or a carry-on that exceeds the size requirements. I'm not sure what new thing you're imagining they would need.

I don't think the claim is that boarding causes flights to depart later than scheduled. Of course they plan for the time it takes to board. The claim is that, despite being predictable, it significantly increases the turn-around time f

> Chesterton’s fence isn’t “respect it forever” or “spend infinite resources”. It’s “don’t tear it down until you understand why it’s there”. You contradict yourself by describing exactly what I described, which is a requirement to spend

Funny enough, an alleged Chesterton's fence is very likely to be one of these derelict electric fences. People who advocate the "Chesterton's fence" argument (which is similar to and equally misguided as the precautionar

This is the exact opposite of being anti-competitive.

The first way we increased human memory by 1000x was with books. Now it’s mostly with computers. Electronic AGI might have a small early advantage because it’s probably easier for them to have high-speed interfaces to computing power and me

I wasn't referring the "luck" factor of evolution, which is of course always there. I was asking whether "luck" is the reason that the cognitive capabilities which presumably were selected for also came with cogniti

Is it just dumb luck that we're able to create knowledge about black holes, quarks, and lots of things in between which presumably had zero evolutionary benefit before a handful of generations ago?

Well you could be a critical rationalist and do away with the notion of "certainty" or any sort of justification or privileged source of knowledge (including "rationality").

Yep, the fourth gen E-Series cargo vans are the ones with "creepy kidnapper" vibes (along with the third gen Chevy G-series). And even then it's only when they're beat up and don't otherwise appear to be for commerc

I suppose that coincidentally works in this case where they’re inexplicably omitting the wild potato species in the United States. I personally would have just gone with “the Americas.”

Of course, I would expect the experience to be different in the last three hundred years or so. Since the Industrial Revolution, it’s much more likely for an average person’s quality of life to improve during their lifetime due to technolog

How could you ever know whether that’s the case? Obviously it makes sense to try to conduct the interviewer with a low-pressure tone, and perhaps make accommodations for people who seems especially nervous, but at the end of the day I don’t

But if you need someone to show up and code every day, you also need someone who is willing and able to do that. I don’t think a passionate chat can demonstrate that.

“News teller” is blatantly non-standard English. It immediately reads as either a deliberate anachronistic affectation, or a bad literal translation (in this case, it is indeed the latter).

It's an extremely famous example of a widespread misconception. I don't know anything about aeronautical engineering but I'm quite familiar with the "equal transit time fallacy."

The good news is that is was nearly impossible to make a living playing a musical instrument long before generative AI was widely available.

It’s also very possible that if you ride a motorcycle and believe you are “one of the safe ones” you are simply mistaken.

What answer are you even looking for? There’s no proactive law enforcement waiting to bust down your door if you give underage kids alcohol. (Note this is true of nearly all crimes.) But if a kid dies of alcohol poisoning or drunk driving,

A $10 million sales contract is objectively $10 million in revenue, sure, but it's silly to attribute that entirely to the sales person just like it would be silly to attribute it entirely to the engineers that built the product or the

It's still just a market. You've got to make offers that people will accept. It's mostly silly to try to come up with some objective theory of value, except in the context of what potential employees will consider to be fair,

Yes, except for all the completely unhinged stuff in ISO 8601. You probably do not want to deal with durations, or repeating intervals, or even week dates and ordinal dates.

But again, there's no distinction between brandishing and shooting. The Minnesota law applies both to brandishing and to shooting.

Which states don't have self-defense exceptions to brandishing laws? Note that shooting someone is also assault, but self-defense is an exception to assault.

Your examples sound like fairly short-term biological responses to intense activity, which are likely different than long-term biological response to a significant increase in daily calorie expenditure. I've done a fair amount of wilde
