I think you miss how sophisticated some game server code is. Taking fighting games for example: they have entire processes to have both clients predict what the other client will d…

Spoken like someone who has never had to deal with business critical production environments.

I have questions here, a lot of lobbying is done by: a) trade organizations (we're all the onion farmers in Nebraska and want to make sure the Nebraska legislature doesn't pass law…

One of my favorite interview questions for senior positions is "Tell me about a decision you made that you would change in hindsight." Junior level people and people who are otherw…

Commenting on my Epic from an LG Fridge.

I disagree with this interpretation of what I said. We HAVE evidence that time and gravity interact. It's actually more of a violation of Occam's Razor to suggest that time travel …

I'll give a half-baked counter to this: we know gravity impacts the flow of time through relativity. There is currently no evidence that time travel wouldn't be impacted by gravity…

I would agree with you if this paper was citing... more papers. Since there are so few and one of the citations is a concurrence with the paper with actual data work, then it harms…

Right, I was criticizing the approach. Edit: specifically the fact that the paper has no discussion of how the meta-analysis data was prepared, processed, or how they made sure it …

Here you go: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34079693/ Edit: You can also click on his name in the original post (or the link above) and see all the papers in pubmed authored by hi…

This paper cites 10 other papers, two of which are essentially the same paper. The author also has additional papers claiming that Vitamin D helps prevent COVID mortality using a "…

That’s not even my argument though? I was very clear that specifically immediately post birth is a high risk time and that mandatory paternity tests at birth increase those risks w…

The internet is truly a wild place. You can say something like "We shouldn't do mandatory paternity tests at birth because they bring no benefit to the child" and someone responds …

I disagree here. Blood tests done at birth are done specifically for the benefit of the child (and with minimal risk to the child). A paternity test has no benefit for the child (i…

Sorry, the conclusion in the paper really underlies how poorly the results fit the evidence: "The resulting almost doubling in the age of the Universe and increasing the formation …

It feels like it might have been written by AI. The cadence of the text is really unnatural.

Hedging risk. This is often a hard concept for people to grasp: there is value to hedging risk. It (generally) cannot be turned into money. There is extrinsic value to reducing ris…

It can also be survivorship bias: "we never used seat belts and we were fine" can only be said by someone alive.

Not OP, but I had a boss who specifically bought ambidextrous mice and would switch hands every hour (or so).

I'm of the opinion that there's a reason why a subset (myself included) of people who when initially exposed to infinitesimals, and specifically the part where you start just disre…

I'll add on to your point: moving up the IC ladder is often slow because it takes more to both become an expert in a field and to prove it to your leadership. Each step up the IC l…

I thought this as well, but I did a little research before responding, and it looks like even though this is broadly true, people still weren't living particularly long before the …

I feel this, during the shortage, we had an otherwise healthy baby but were advised to go on formula for a week to test for something. The process of finding formula and discoverin…

You pretty much answered your own question: compared to the size of the coast, the amount of energy these wind farms capture is negligible. You might see a reduction of power if yo…
