The interface is amazing. Clean, it doesn't leave huge amounts of empty space that scream "this was made for phone users, everyone else might fuck off", and the subforums already h…

>Essentially a "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument. Not quite. It's more like "a gun cannot be held morally responsible for its actions, so actual people should".…

Yup, different definitions; I was going to bring this up but chopped it to avoid the wall of text. (I'm glad that someone caught it up though.) My definition is roughly "ability to…

I can relate to most of what he wrote. And I've also noticed the same pattern that he points out in >Whenever I post of a cognitive bias or logical fallacy, my replies are soon inv…

This sounds a lot like satire. This excerpt for example is blatantly self-contradictory: >We’ve found zero [scenarios] that lead to good outcomes. // Most AI researchers think good…

Ah, nevermind. Your focus was on the last part of the quote. My bad.

Perhaps it's a side effect of our desire for different flavours, that would encourage us (in a wild environment) to seek a diversified diet that provides multiple types of nutrient…

>> Cookbooks generally distinguish between seasonings [...] and **condiments** [...] >huh? people in everyday speech frequently blur **herbs** and spices [...] Emphasis mine. Thyme…

This is just a guess but I think that there are two problems here, not one: 1) inefficiency strictu sensu (more operations required for the exact same task), and 2) lower diminishi…

The reason that I'm scolding those users is not "disagreement". Disagreement implies that they have something to offer - an opposite point of view, or perhaps info conflicting with…

I think that some users here in the comments are bloody missing the point. It's easy to figure out what the authors are saying, provided that you guys have something called "basic …

>Yes, it is sophisticated. Phishing emails are opened more often then regular mail and click-rate is pretty high. You're confusing "sophisticated" with "efficient". Phishing is eff…

>No, Reddit. Phising is not a sophisticated attack. You're right, it isn't. It's just Reddit admins lying through their teeth, it's their usual. Almost like they take most of the c…

>I'm a PhD chemist. This sort of "chrust me, I have kwalifikashuns" is rather fitting the overall poor quality of your comment. There are a thousand things wrong with this applicat…

It's all about small decisions. I'll list some examples but keep in mind that they're just examples. * Prefer markets that overall use less plastic, even if this might bring you a …

I have a better idea: reduce plastic consumption. I know, I know, totally OC donut steel.

I think that #5 is a bad point, as there are multiple reasons why someone might get irritated with a trait of another person, and "I see that trait in myself" is only one of them. …

Def #1 is way off. Loneliness is to feel that other people don't relate to you; to be misunderstood _can_ create this situation but so does different likes/dislikes, different mora…

It gets worse once we remember that electricity can be transported, but the damage stays mostly in place.

A few things that I'd like to highlight, regarding decipherment of older languages. You can somewhat guess which kind of script you're dealing with, by counting how many different …

As another poster said, that isn't a code issue. You know what is a code issue though? "I dun need no optimazashun, I'm a faithful beleevur in Moore's Law, in the fuchur ppl will r…

That's pretty much confirmed already; Kievan Rus' (middle ages government) with Rurik = Hrœrekr of Ladoga in 862, who was an Old Norse speaker; not even four generations later his …

>Sweden, where this facility is supposed to be built, hardly has any fossil fuel electricity production. That would make their process suitable for countries that barely produce an…

>This assumes a zero-sum situation where we have a fixed amount of fossil free electricity I'm not assuming a zero-sum. The concern still holds without a zero-sum situation, as lon…

What the link is "conveniently forgetting" to mention is that most industrial hydrogen production emits CO₂ (steam reforming: CH₄ + 2H₂O → 2H₂ + CO₂). And there's a good reason for…
