Part of the job of lawyers is to know the judges they interact with and what sorts of claims they'll take seriously and which ones they'll overrule. That has very little to do with…

Because humans still get the picture selection prompts, so you'd have to write code good enough to read the prompt and then select the appropriate images.

People using their accrued wealth to sit around while other people make money for them (who will suffer if they can't do that) is generally considered moral- or at least ethical- u…

I think for a field like philosophy, which is composed of a bunch of relative silos (some within broader silos like the divide between analytic and continental philosophy as well a…

If the only thing stopping the structural changes necessary to prevent ecological collapse was a fear of aliens, then I think we'd be doing better. Also, the kind of technological …

That and most users aren't auditing each new version of the apps to make sure they're still doing what they say they're doing to protect data.

I didn't dismiss evo psych outright in that comment- I said it's often being used in the way psychoanalysis and theology were being used to naturalize the current social order. Tho…

There are lots of cool books- I have a strong preference for ones like Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess which present problems or walk through games with somewhat conversational comment…

This is a really important point. Evolutionary psychology and associated disciplines have come to replace psychoanalysis and God in the popular imagination as a teleological force …

> Landlords don’t care about any color other than on-time-green. This is obviously not a universal truth (and there have been many well-known cases of individual and systemic housi…

Because we already know how to store it for thousands of years with minimal leakage without creating a contraption that could lead to nuclear waste raining down on our heads.

Looks like the person violating the copyright just reuploaded under a new ID after the original takedown, which is why the artist is still seeing his work up there.

Because people (or even projects) you love may outlive you? It can provide immediate visceral satisfaction to try to help boost them even if you won't see the benefits. Children ar…

Based on my experience, people who can acknowledge their issues and accurately compensate for them are more valuable than most of the people who think they're the top 1-3%. Obvious…

Same with governments and the attempts at state capitalism you're referring to. Everything always is good unless it's bad, the question is how easily can it be constrained when it …

Making things hard to vote is a feature, not a bug.

Most animals- at least megafauna- don't spend all day in search of food, shelter, etc. They almost all have daily periods of idleness.

Which can still happen in a simulated way that minimizes harm but maximizes perceived harm by the inflictor. The gory death of an opponent in an FPS who respawns without incident e…

Obviously it's beyond the purview of the study, but I have to imagine the correlations aren't too far off for adults either.

Except the groups they represent are different. Executives represent the shareholders and labor organizers represent labor. Even if you say a large part of the benefits are lost du…

Also given the (hundreds of) billions of advertising dollars spent on shaping consumer tastes/desires when it comes to food.

It's under the limit ($600): https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employe... But even if it wasn't, a company of any significant size (enough to pay even 1 person's…
