People sit on their phones?

I’ve heard a lot of denialists push the Tonga volcano and resultant water vapor in the stratosphere as evidence that climate change is more complex than we understand. I always who…

Everyone here is complaining about the nature of the proposed natural experiment and I’m just here thinking “where are the pockets on OP’s clothes?” Phones are stored primarily in …

Please don't make personal attacks like that on this forum, it's against the rules. So is claiming someone didn't read a source when you disagree with their interpretation. https:/…

As someone else who doesn't deal in identity politics, please know I don't care what you think of it and was trying to share information on a forum for the intellectually curious.

No I just think all those quotes reference colonization. Many people believe that specifically the Irish Pale popularized the statement, but the OED aren't among them. What are we …

Isn't this a forum for the intellectually curious? I made no call to action. I guess I should have known any time the information is something certain people would consider 'woke' …

And what were those fences specifically used for pray tell.

Incorrect from a formal logic standpoint. It doesn't necessarily have bearing, but you cannot generalize the way you are doing. Then no word would mean anything.

You have successfully repeated the opinion of the Oxford English Dictionary after reading an entire article about how the British used Pales to colonize areas and define boundaries…

What about the link contradicts the point that it's pro-colonialist? The etymology is in doubt for any particular area, not the concept of what a pale was and how it was used to co…

>we even accepted multiple currencies You accepted multiple currencies without taking a spread on Forex? How did you convert it for free? Not even actual forex businesses can do th…

Just a periodic reminder that 'Beyond the Pale' is a pro-colonialist phrase that many believe was was part of Britain's Centuries-long campaign to eliminate Irish culture. https://…

A huge aspect people ignore is how expensive it is to handle cash. From storage, administration, transportation, loss, etc. it's usually a little more expensive to take cash vs. ca…

There are “people who improperly use data that’s being given to them, like Plaid,” Dimon told analysts. [0] Amazing how openly CEO's like Dimon will fear-monger about start-ups, wh…

Just FYI, the stock is down 99% since he joined as CEO in March 2021. Some of that is market, but TSLA is -15% since then.

Yes. I agree. That was the point I was making. I'm not saying the company is committing securities fraud, I am saying that if the company created a scheme as described by the comme…

>He is effectively paying for these flights by buying Canoo stock. If a CEO is intentionally creating a situation to make a company unprofitable and paying it back by buying shares…

My friend, that is not how public companies work. Every common shareholder is an equal, you don't get to launder jet travel the way he's doing - that's securities fraud.

Great follow up! Ornithopters are designed by humans who sleep - the complex computers needed to make them work replicate things humans told them to do, right? It is a very incompl…

I think the real issue here is that a CEO who nobody has heard of and is doing a bad job running the company claims that he needs to fly private as a business expense. It's one thi…

Here, it's actually fun to respond to your comment in another way, so let's try this out: Yes, sleep is in fact a prerequisite to planes flying. We have very strict laws about it a…

Ah a very fun 'snippy' question that just proves my point further. Thank you. No airplanes do not sleep. That's part of why their flying is fundamentally different than birds'. You…

Here's the hubris of thinking that way: I would imagine the baseline assumption of your thinking is that things like sleep and emotions are a 'bug' in terms of cognition (or at the…

Thank you for this - the name neural networks has made a whole generation of people forget that they have an endocrine system. We know things like sleep, hunger, fear, and stress a…
