No, it's akin to saying landlords care about the occupancy of their buildings and their tenants paying rent. Of course they do, and of course they're prepared to use media influenc…

My personal fave is Blood Bowl. A really tightly designed game that plays in 150 minutes (and has turn timers so this is pretty reliable), works just fine if you don't know the lor…

I see where you're coming from, but... A lot of the stuff the Imperium does is not just evil but also stupidly counterproductive. Planets starving due to rounding errors in the fil…

Would it be fair to allow anti-monarchy protesters to protest only 100m from anyone celbrating the coronation?

I came across this recently and your post made me wonder what you'd think of it: https://experimentalhistory.substack.com/p/the-rise-and-fall... I won't butcher the piece with a po…

It's possible that the supermarkets did some market research that misled them about how popular these products would be, but there is another option. Supermarkets can arrange all s…

The most common form I've seen is often not malicious: " thing you actually said is a weak form of this argument, the strongest form is in fact mostly agreeing with me "

It's wonderful that you want to help your daughter through what is frequently a stressful and uncertain transition. I'm now working in machine learning, but I spent a lot of time w…

So long as everyone using the platform can modify their own list, no it's not the same problem at all. The question is: do I get to decide who I listen to, or do you?

Another lesson from Munich etc. is that it might be a good idea to go to violence pre-emptively when it becomes clear someone is communicating in bad faith.

It is, but sometimes it's difficult even when you're trying; and of course, not everybody is reasonable.

That's especially fair, as there's a good-faith way of engaging with such things that they've avoided: "Could you expand on this please?"

Does anyone know if this separates out listening figures for different content on popular streaming platforms? This growth lines up suspiciously with Joe Rogan moving to Spotify.

As much as I would love to work part-time, there's a good reason for a company to avoid this: co-ordination costs scale quadratically. Yes, good management practices can help mitig…

The issue is with non-technical people who see that the hacked together mess of a proof of concept "works" and insist that you can just build straight on top of that without any wo…

Does anyone know of an organised resistance to this?

Paywall averted, thanks! Mods, is there any way of getting this link into the top level post? I assume the paywall is the reason it's been flagged.

I don't even think there needs to be more than one "technique" - think of all the authors that are worse without an editor. It's about not having any pushback, and missing your bli…
