Yeah, but what should you fear from organizations? It's easy to scrutinize an individual. It's lot more difficult to scrutinize an organization. It's actually difficult to even stay interested in them. I'd claim that if

Is that a real problem? Seems like 5 richest US citizens own less than 0,5% of all US assets. I'd be lot more worried about organizations. JP Morgan chase and General Electric are not exactly democratic either. Both are way richer than

Actually the opposite. You get less traction with more weight due to "load sensitivity" of viscoelastic materials (= rubber).

The next step would be to 3D print the sand mold directly.

Metals can only be SLS printed in a vacuum. That makes it cost prohibitive for home use. It's cheaper to buy a small CNC machine and that's good enough for 99,9% of everything.

You need to beat castings. And this may surprise you, but the mechanical properties of casts are often superior to 3D prints.

If that was true, you should see significant differences between religions. And at the same time very little differences within religions. That does not seem to hold. Looks like religions just tend to echo some sort of natural chastity. And

But what happens when employee is not accepting apology from another employee? Does not sound like team spirit. So do you fire another one? Dissolve that team? That sounds very costly. If I was employer and had to abide by that, any work lo

If it's really 90% of the people who are left behind, it's probably not good for the company really. People in existing teams will be very fatigued from getting to know new people and then trying to forget them. This is well docum

"Infantry tank" was my mistake. Those things only existed around WWII. Regardless any modern tank, infantry fighting vehicle etc. has single man controlling both speed and direction.

by vlehto 9y ago
Also there is the example of infantry tank. There is the driver who has speed and direction. Then there is the commander who gives orders but apparently has backup system to drive if the driver is incapacitated. A ship just can't have

I'm also not afraid of isolated viruses in desolate places. They have limited gene pool and no humans to practice with. It's incredibly unlikely that such virus would randomly be very very good at targeting humans, but also very v

Depends where you are located and how large formations of troops you have concentrated on single location. Finnish Defense forces pretty much completely relied on horses during WWII and with great success. There are lot's of tales how

If you ever find yourself in a fire, get low. On all fours if you have to. You should have at least two exists from your apartment. And when you are escaping fire, always open the doors very carefully. First like 5cm to see if there is any

Magnets are probably way too expensive. Especially as you could get same functionality with regular fire ladder.

I meant that attacking Britain in any way would have been obviously suicidal to the point of being complete deterrent without certain war machines. If Polad would have been taken with only infantry and field artillery and supplied by railwa

Well yeah. Except the thing is that geopolitics is the dictating form of politics. Everything else comes after that. Let's say US government needs lots of manpower to stay as global hegemon. Then say that there is culture in US where p

Anything that increases the destructive capacity of armed forces while lowering the manpower requirements is going to make it easier for politicians to misuse those armed forces. Most obvious example would be the Vietnam disaster. It was ev

"Play store et al already exist, why not use that?" Play store does not have the content I want. And it seems overly difficult to post the content I want to make. And if I want to pay for engagement with the content, that's n

You don't need to be creative to sing or play. You need to be creative to compose. Do we actually know that many creative musicians, writers etc. were creative before using? I'd imagine it's really tricky to track down the st

It's possible that people gravitate towards different drugs in a way that makes the users of any given drug a non-representative sample. If I use myself as example. I don't use any psychedelics because I'm completely satisfie

I think the only real problem there is the "how do you know who you're paying?" part. Everything else would be solved or effectively ignored with the following: I send you 10$ somehow, you send me email with ten hashes. Each

It's possibly completely a demographic change. Back in 90's the internet was for the young, curious and open minded. And I mean like 5% of the most most open minded people around. Now internet is for everybody. Maybe the average p

I'm pretty sure that 50% number is for single mill. For a farm there should be no such limit.

“BASE jumping does not get safer with experience.” Somebody should calculate P-value for that claim.

Many humans do not want to eat the cheap meat I eat. If you are saying that the responsibility of killed cow should be distributed by costs and not by kilos of meat, I'm probably as virtuous as vegan with three dogs.

So 25% reduction in meat I use by not eating it myself vs. not feeding it to a dog. Excuse me, but I can't see a difference here.
