"Science" is NEVER decided and the fact they are doing this is specifically and explicitly ANTI-SCIENCE. It is itself misinformation.

It could indeed be the interaction of two (2) complex, mutually interacting feedback loops. Definitely not a simple reductive result. But well within that complexity theory can address.

This is true - for "reasons", the same scheme is used back-calculating from total transistor density back to "if only it were planar, the effective dimension would be".

It's NOT SCIENCE if this isn't part of it. Repeatability is essential. Without it, you are just guessing and making shit up. That may well be the nature of psychology in some (or even most) cases. Then it's simply not a sc

Guess what: being helicoptered/snowplowed/playe-dated through your entire childhood is what causes this - you have to build experience on your own and risking failure to ever learn on to make friends. When you are sheltered from

Ah, no it won't. This is a religious movement. This is exactly the same as some devout Christian group claiming the 2nd Coming is coming by 2045. No different. No more likely to happen. All the same "cultish thinking and motiv

The value-proposition of "smart home" has NEVER been convincingly constructed. This goes back to the days of X10 remote control systems, while at the same time never has the cost been reasonable. I've followed this stuff si

The authority literally allowed Disney to build nuclear reactors without any state oversight or intervention!! It was a stretch even back in the 1960s but definitely a step too far.

Nothing "chaotic" about it. It was an ego-driven plan to create it that had ZERO market validation to suggest it would succeed. Basically the same thing as "Quibi" and its failure. 100% predictable.

Can't upvote this enough. Dead-nuts on point.

Honestly not the case where I am. State money only comes if for natural disasters: back when Hurricane Sandy came through, there was state money to replace bridges damaged by the rain volume. Otherwise it's handled at a county but pr

It was simply never anticipated so why would you have such a thing. Plus people do still live in the Rust Belt and rural areas around it so it's all "working just fine still". One thing that's interesting: around where

This is certainly part of it. There are also those who are not happy with woke content and "Anything Silicon Valley/Tech" and are walking away. Disney has the same thing going.

Can you say "Quibi"? So much in common.

by xyzzy21 4y ago
Even weirder, x86 is only a superficial layer - all x86 code has been compiled to RISC on-the-fly since the 1990s. This is an economic artifact of the unpredicted success of the IBM PC.

A heat engine is a heat engine - the source of heat doesn't actually matter much.

Atari ST has something similar with the "Magic Sac" plug-in module. You needed Mac ROMs for it but since both were 68000-based, it was modestly easy to do. I had one back in the day. https://atariage.com/forums&#

You aren't paying attention - critical thinking? The point is that employers can and will "adjust" in the same way on this.

Simply because censorship on other platforms of the FAANG is so extreme and anti-American that balanced and rational conversations are NOT POSSIBLE. So substitutes are found and substack is one of the major substitutes. Alt-media in gene

In general, if you have super high sodium intake, you also have other major problems with food, weight and exercise that are far more likely the primary causes of CVD. For example, you are usually eating a ton of processed foods with high

by xyzzy21 4y ago
Yep. This is NOT the first study generally disproving a link between sodium and CVD. Sodium is NOT the horrible evil it's portrayed as. What is actually problematic is, if anything, an imbalance with potassium and sometimes calcium and

This is where being a vendor (at a distance) tends to be as close as you want to get to some customers and their culture. Being a vendor is probably the best way to achieve that kind of "influence/innovation" in a company li

A non-trivial factor in this: • Samsung: conglomerate Chaebol that includes of 50% revenue from shipping and ship-building, and then insurance, finance, travel, consume appliances, and finally smart phones and semiconductors which are minor

Espionage is a very real and major risk in competitive businesses such as leading edge semiconductor or companies like Apple.

All Asian Fabs pretty much ban all smart phones - you have to leave them outside and/or you have to use a "dumb" phone. Laptops, USB drives, etc. are absolute verboten as a vendor or contractor and usually employees as well

And what if Spartacus had had a Pipe Cub??

In theory, that would be MRAM - SRAM speeds, Non-volatile. Except as should be expected - there are details that have to be worked out in depth to ever allow such a substitution.

In general, ANYTHING mandated by the government should be available primarily in minimally sufficient form from the government. That goes for insurance, fees, services, etc.
