I would say that there is indeed a problem with modern tech companies where things matter even less than they should. It's not a problem of being raised in a context where everythi…

I guess you mean efficient in that they produce a shorter (or even the shortest) sequence of moves to solve a given scramble. But if it takes 5 minutes of computation to produce th…

And the counterpoint is that most people aren't able to do that much exercise. Because it's A LOT. Basically full time athletes or highly physical workers. So that excludes all peo…

Okay, but what if you don't know your password and your password manager is offline or you don't have access to it on your phone or the phone ran out of battery or... I assure you …

I disagree with the cheap developers point. I've just hired a Pakistani designer/web developer team. They were committed, fast, cheap, wrote high quality code, and delivered more t…

That's the most commonly discussed form. There are others as in https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/ageism

I find hard to interpret "A 40 yo learned something from a 13 yo" in a non ageist way. Seems that people disagree, but nobody has provided a counterpoint. Actually, the comment in …

You should consider this interaction as an opportunity to also revisit your ageism. I'm all for encouraging young people, and OP seems a really bright 13 years old person, for sure…

What I don't get is how nuclear goes against any ESG. It's just fear.

Yes, but videogames cost roughly the same all around the world.

I think OP was pointing to a potential starting point of the raise in prices and decoupling it from the actual services rendered. Something I think is very likely given that now th…

You don't need to compare with the past. Just compare with other countries, where you can pay 300 a month and have all your family fully covered privately. No copay. No public heal…

160 pitches for 1.5M - in how many checks total? Did you decide you wanted the 1.5 before starting the pitches?

There supposedly is a (semantic) process in your brain that makes you believe you understand the sentences you are reading and writing that is on top of the (symbolic) process that…

gotcha, when the aliens come we'll all be vegan.

Until there are actual serious studies with a large sample population from different parts of the world you can't be sure how many people will be affected and how. Also how healthi…

Exactly. And the person following the Chinese program also knows they don't speak Chinese and that they aren't understanding anything. I don't really find the Chinese Room argument…

It depends. Humans vary and, while you may thrive on a plant diet, you can't generalize your experience. There are people who have problems even supplementing B12. Others don't. Yo…

Easily changed? Slavery is still real today in many places and took wars over centuries to get to where we are today. Seems like you have a very special definition of easy.

It's not farting, it's belching. Can be ameliorated adding algae to the feed. It's not very relevant to the point you're making in this case, but it's good to be precise and also m…

The point is that in all this thread, including in your previous comment, people are talking about it as if it had no possible side effects. So, great for you that you track your m…

Is it more important than keeping your sexual function, though? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22789024/

I have an 11A charger and some 5kW solar panel setup, and I am lucky enough that I'm able to charge during the day the trips I make early in the morning just with solar.

The ability of getting everything one wants just because one can is not a good thing, in my view. Also, how is this relevant to the point above? One point is it's too expensive - s…

For someone who sort of justified a humiliating response to a mistake a few comments above, this seems really well done! Congratulations.
