Mostly to be a pedantic devil's advocate here, I'm going to argue with something you're not saying. I've heard a _lot_ of people argue that the visit is _proof_ of corruption. You'…

I mean, _kinda_? This kind of reflexive both-sides-ism works to obfuscate the _huge_ difference in scale, _and_ the occasional, small-but-real attempts of mostly democrats to do so…

Same. I recalled pipe being used for "such that". But [per wikipedia]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical_symbo... ), that's specifically "set-builder notation"…

I'm going to assert that Tesla's FSD™ does not, in fact work on city streets and highways. Or, if you want to loosely define "work", Ernst Dickmanns had self driving in the 80s, an…

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but in case you're not... From https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/11/ai-with-90-error-rate... "UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error ra…

8 (1). And I think that, in this context, those 8 plus the 22 US D-SIBs (2) means that there's 30. FWIW, I _think_ I'm not just pedantically correcting a particular number. I think…

> If people want to take non-FDA approved stuff, I don't see why regulatory and/or law enforcement should care. Well, among other things, if anyone makes money selling colored wate…

> Sounds like that would severely decrease what authors can earn, especially older ones. I mean, I know a bunch of authors. All of them wrote because they needed to write (even the…

While I _absolutely_ agree with those sentiments, I have seen nothing like consensus on them myself (in mostly tech startups, but also fintech, and financial (yes, those are differ…

I mean, I dispute your implication that he's not destroying twitter (I mean, ever since he took it private we don't have hard numbers. But that itself doesn't suggest _good_ things…

A modern kitchenaid isn't really better than a cuisinart. Back when they were made by hobart, yes, they were amazing (and, inflation adjusted, something like three times the price)…

Umm, the bill of rights is a set of restrictions on the _federal_ government. The last one is explicitly a statement that the states can do a lot of things that the federal governm…

From the _IBEW_ ( https://www.ibew.org/media-center/Articles/23Daily/2306/2306... ): > “We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck wit…

Oh my! You buried the lede: "In an effort to avoid naming everything after Euler, some discoveries and theorems are attributed to the first person to have proved them _after_ Euler…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_things_named_after_Joh... Note that the "Known for" section on his main page has 119 elements. But they're not all named after him.

While I don't think that your conclusion is 100% wrong, your argument does not support it. The first two examples are actually the way I would bet. For the first, MS knew what was …

> Literally not true. Some other comment of yours: > Obviously not true. I think the word you're looking for is "inconceivable". And I do not think it means what you think it means…

Your question reduces to "Why should my taxes pay for a public good, when I choose to have my kids not experience it directly?" I think the answer becomes a lot clearer then. Miss …

Yes, after all, the reason that Texas is currently working on laws to block renewable power generation in favor of fossil fuel power is because their power grid is _too_ reliable.

The first law linked in your article ( https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXXI/Ch... ) seems to me further reaching than the lesser of the two NY bills (S6748). A…

It's interesting to me that you've figured out that people bring up gun control whenever you talk about this, but you haven't made the next logical leap. Which is to say, there may…

Well, kinda? We did that. Then we discovered that about 10% of the time it didn't actually lock anything. So we included yelling across the room into our "grab it exclusively from …
