I disagree with all of those examples, they are misunderstanding what it means for the metric to break down in the context of the law, but alas. "If you run a different race" lol.

> So what is your argument, that it doesn't apply everywhere therefore it applies nowhere? I never said that. Someone said the law collapses, someone asked for a link, I gave an example to prove it does break down in some cases at l

I can start brushing my teeth 30 times faster but it won't change my life. This is nice for RAG but it's a very localized improvement. And 30× sounds big but is just an order of magnitude improvement also.

Metric: time to run 100m Context: track athlete Does it cease to be a good metric? No. After this you can likely come up with many examples of target metrics which never turn bad.

I think about it like this: Jet needs to suck air from front. If air is stopped, sucking is hard. If air is already being thrown at you, you don't even need to suck, just let it come in.

The police in Netherlands also operates these from inside vans. Most likely other countries too. They do this most busy weekends in the Dam Square for example. You walk by you get a full body scan to see if you have weapons on you I guess.

I guess what the mean is the same way spark gap transmitters are forbidden. Anyone can do it but it's forbidden. Anyone can read the wifi signals but CISCO doesn't have to sell you a dashboard with real time view of your location

This guy is exactly like the get quick rich scheme guys. I believe he initially had a vision for the product but now the whole schpiel is quotes like "a kid made $180k on an app in 4 weeks" like he was on and on about in podcasts.

So what was devastating then? Maybe you mean it was devastating that toilet paper was missing for 3 days or bread baking flour for hipsters that started sourdough. Devastating shortages in my book are what you see im the history books, peop

Can you list which of the recent nobel peace prizes were attributed according to your standards?

It's a better recipient than pretty much all of the recent previous ones, definitely better than all the presidents.

Yeah but at least vasco is really cool, like the best guy ever and you should really hire him and give him the top salary in your company. Really best guy I ever worked with. Only 249 to go, sorry fellas, gotta protect my future.

There's no need to do them heavy for health purposes. The problem with most back pain is people do nothing. Capping them at around 100kg is probably more than enough and will also prevent other injuries.

How many of those projects have been going for more than 3 generations? Why do you think all the last times it was attempted it turns to that? Most of the undisturbed tribes kill intruders on sight. Most countries that ever turned to isolat

Did you intentionally cut off "after generations" to respond to a point I didn't make? I said nothing about the 0th or 1st generation.

Isolationism doesn’t work as a policy, that is proven by history. Or if it works it needs some radically different ideas. The aspect about ignoring defense is also naive, what happens when your neighbours that do have a military decide your

Efficiency I get, self sufficiency I don't get. Self sufficiency is net terrible as impact to the globe. It's obvious that specialization+trade gives us much more efficiency, be it in raw material usage, power usage, you name it,

This is for Amazon deliveries. The whole thing is written for that, the material is the same as their packaging even. Bombs go down fast, specially from drones, there's no advantage in slowing them down.

Not to be rude, but they clarified it's not a snide, why are you trying to control speech to this degree? If we don't like his tone we can downvote him as well anyway and self regulate.

I just thought you could make your point without calling other people cringe for disagreeing. I agree the average now is better than any century before, while also agreeing there's many interests of the type the comment you replied to

I found the comment to be quite sober and realistic. Other than usage of "they want" as a monolith group it's pretty accurate.
