The article addresses it. It doesn't excuse it. EDIT: If you still want to believe he ran 30 marathons in 35 days, I wish you all the best in your continued commitment to that belief.

So we're supposed to ignore academic fraud because the wrong person noticed it too?

Indeed. Some woman abusing cultures are incompatible with Western civilization.

That's the Bohr model. It works surprisingly well for hydrogen. Then there's the probability-cloud model, which works much better. And then there's the “strictly speaking, the orbital isn't actually a probability distrib

There's a huge push to go peat-free, and I agree 95%. There are just a few uses for peat that don't have an alternative. I mention this to fellow gardeners because if you go 100% peat-free, you'll end up with an expensive dis

I'm on the pill version, which allows me to adjust the dosage on a more day-to-day level. It also doesn't need a fridge, so it allows me to travel more easily. There's a level that works best for me long-term, and it's

Pascal Syntax is horrible for programming. It's verbose and confining. It's wonderful for reading ten years later and figuring things out.

Agreed, and in my opinion he's 100% right. But I'm still invested in both. The market hasn't been working on fundamentals for a long time. I have a fair amount of value stocks and a bunch of cash lying around, so I'll be

Because of crap like this, our business has a standing policy of always using copy and paste when transferring data. We view it as a show-stopping bug when we can't do that from one system to another. Saves us an incredible amount of d

Not my cup of tea, but kudos on making something unique. The world need more of that.

For me, the era of MikroTik is sort of... now. Don't get me wrong, they make powerful and feature-complete stuff, but their UI sort of assumes you really know what you're doing. I don't know what I'm doing. But my LLM do

RFK walked the talk. The previous inhabitant was... and I'll try to be polite... easy to dismiss when they said it.

Yes... and no. DJI/BYD, etc are legit amazing. But entire ghost cities filled with unused condos scream bubble. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underoccupied_developments_in_...

For me, my blind spot has been China. They've maintained their bubble economy for decades longer than I (and a few other smarter people than me) think possible.

Fair point, and thanks. Certainly true that Starlink satellites are already successfully dealing with the problem and use a lot of energy. I think the trouble with my thinking was that I was locked into the Shuttle/STS numbers of waste

Any idea how they're handling the space data center heat problems? Energy harvesting in space is easy, while getting rid of heat is quite hard.

There's a relationship in that a persuasive kid pointing out the obvious flaws could collapse a Keynesian beauty contest.

Yep. Keesian Beauty Contest! (Dear Reader, if you have no idea what that is, it's a good idea to know about in my opinion)

No I dont, and you're quite correct. I'm one of those weirdos who thinks The Lord of the Rings movies were better because they left out some things from the books, so I'm happy with both. Oddly enough, I sort of appreicated

Yes it is.. I'm glad that it seems that he's cherry-picking the good bids from a few books to give us a potentially good movie.

In the book, Paul's nine-year-old son fuses baby sandworm larvae to his skin and becomes a worm-god-human-face weirdo. I mean, I've seen Apocalypse Now, but I suspect the movie of that would be... unique.

Que? Market analysis thinks SpaceX sucks as a stock. Heck, it goes against all my value investing instincts for me to even have 2% of my net value in it. To be fair however, 15% of my net value came from Tesla. I obviously have brain worms.

Some of us appreciate the "Eat fucking food, and do some exercise" part of it. The rest of it is a big meh. Not like I was looking to Rachel Levine as a paradigm either.

David Lynch's "Elephant Man" was considered a good kids' movie for my 5th-grade class. Put it this way: My dad used to beat me, and that was less traumatic than that movie.

I say this as a fan of Frank Herbert, and I've read all the Dune books: Thank god the Dune 3 movie looks like it isn't a strict adaptation of "Children of Dune".

We've set up separate channels in our messaging app: One for random stuff and one for emergencies, and we only leave notifications on for the latter.

The elites don't want us directly voting for stuff. Got it. While I would like to see us return to having federal senators elected by the state legislatures, I'm not going to give up citizen initiatives without a fight.

FYI - there are already a few states that don't allow companies to enforce such draconian noncompetes. Moving to California is better than killing yourself most of the time.
