One of the weirdest articles I've read in a while in the NYTimes: * The extra carbon footprint of taller people is meaningless in comparison to what we should be reducing the emissions by. * The extra amount of food consumed by tall pe

What about the other thousands of people using private jets? I'm looking forward to seeing their spending in HN promptly for every single one of them.

Why every single journalist in the country is not after the little black book, when it would be the biggest story in decades, is simply dumbfounding to me.

Did they incidentally live through the biggest economic boom humanity has ever seen? I don't think your parents decisions are an option for most people that want the same lifestyle as them.

Please link the studies. I believe productive per hour decreases after certain point. I find it harder to believe the output is lower when working hours are longer. How much is long term? And reconcile this with some companies requiring 80+

This graph [0] is way more relevant for the people in HN, and shows that for the top 10% growth hasn't stagnated, who I imagine overlap significantly with the people posting here. [0] https://slatestarcodex.com/blog_ima

Good for you that you're so competent that you can work smart instead of hard, some people aren't as smart, and they need to work hard and longer to achieve the same you achieve in less time.

You can find any fundamental truth that doesn't oppose that every single psychological trait has exactly the same average and deviation across ... really any group. Which is an outstanding claim, and therefore your priors should be it&

This is a version of the silent majority argument, and I think you underestimate how much the public is onboard with these policies. And give it a few decades, opposing them will simply be outside of the Overton window. Competing over confo

Sure but we need numbers, how much more expensive is it, is it 1%, 10% or 100%. Because just saying "more" is compatible with the energy being 0.000001% more expensive. So your comment in not really saying anything.

Products produced by enslaved children are not boycotted, don't get your hopes too high.

The comment you replied to is gaslighting in its purest form. But the left likes you see itself fighting against a way more powerful enemy. The idea that universities are anything like conservatives would like them to be is like saying the

Are you implying zero information has been revealed? We knew the US intelligence services had tweaked the elections of other countries. We didn't know US intelligence services had tweaked the last election in the US. Given how close el

95% of COVID deaths are of people above 50 years [1]. I think you need a bit more evidence to support the idea that worker shortage is because workers are dead or disabled. [1] https://www.statista.com/statistics/125448

Sure, but we're talking statistics here and you're just a data point.

This is a very niche text book example. If you want to make this point you need a real world example. And prove that poor people are diligently spending those $10.

What happens in most cases is that rents go up, because landlords have to factor in this uncertainty. And the debt of the non paying tenants is collectivized.

Credit allows to get a probability of how likely it is payments get done. Landlords use it to get a probability of how likely payments will be. In your case, they don't have your credit, so they obtain the probability through other var

This list was bound to mix reasonable proposals with wild ones. So that when you point out the wild ones, you can be told "hey, but what about this very reasonable thing?".

Thanks, that is useful. So 1/3 get zero years, and the average is 5 years. Speculating the time spent in prison is bell-shaped - and this is a huge if - 1/3 of the sentences could be over 10 years. I think we need more datapoints

I do believe you. But is there a link I can check, or someone besides you who has researched this?

Really? What is the average time spent in jail for possession in Russia?

This is just a PR move with the sole aim of achieving more votes. Considerations such as whether this is fair towards other Americans in Russia, whether this makes the world more safe, whether she actually had the drugs on her, have been la

Also the fact that her lawyers showed a prescription from her doctor stating she needed the drugs makes it more likely the accusations are true. Is anyone actually denying she has the drugs? The media, her teammates, her wife?

For the reason you discuss you should delete your comment. Airplanes crashes rise when the media discusses these topics: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1746810 .

This idea is like telling the absolutist kings to try a bit of democracy for a while; it's contrary to all the social policies in the last 20 years and contrary to the central tenets of equity. It won't happen for the same reason

That's a good anecdote but useless when it comes to comparing the advantages of many parties vs two.

What they argue is that more parties doesn't end up making as much of a difference, and in the end parties just fall in two blocks. Just because there are more parties magic won't just happen, voters will be better represented, pe
