China is continuing to build a shitload of coal alongside being the world's leader in renewable. It takes time.

I hear what you're saying but memory ultimately is not infrastructure, it's a commodity that's shipped over infrastructure. The arguments for infrastructure being managed more tigh…

They're heavily tuned but I think having the generational hypothesis and copying longer-lived objects is still standard? As is allowing a fair amount of garbage to accumulate to in…

Also there is a ton of debt flying around, its not just equities hurting VC funds, real banks are facing risks now.

Different campaigns, you're comparing a presidential general election to a senate primary. You're also ignoring superpacs in those presidential runs. You know how many NRA sponsore…

Check out these 2 maps: https://nitter.space/ettingermentum/status/20852027930783992... Measurable, double digit swings based on which counties got TV ads in a $70m vs $10m spendin…

I don't think they could have been productively used, I'm more saying that they have always been a waste of money.

The point is that stereotypical beauty standards, while they matter, they matter less than one would think when it comes to a hetero man approaching a hetero woman. Give women some…

That's what I'm trying to help you understand. My goofy friend was plowing a trail of pussy through NYC at that time with his fun and confident antics. Below 6 feet and definitely …

BEING fun and confident matters. Saying you are is, well, not fun or confident. A friend of mine, well below 6 feet, once had a dating profile where he went into a weird tangent ab…

Since I'm feeling generous, the words you missed are "fun and confident". One could expand to "comfortable and happy in one's skin", very much not a synonym for cockiness which is …

Ok but it's still a really basic evolutionary signal, taller is better, especially for the hunting/fighting gender. Some dogs get up on their hind legs to piss higher on trees.

It doesn't have to be designed, can be an emergent survival property. Wholesome and helpful dating advice just never builds a cult of loners.

Exact opposite of the point they made, brother. Worth a reread and think depending on your headspace.

Really, it should be, they should volunteer for measurements.

Actual shout out to Oracle inexplicably moving Java forward a ton while also not strangling it with fees and suing their own customers. Wonder if there's a story of some genius, un…

Google could have bought Sun for less than they wound up paying in a decade of legal fees anyways over Android Java.

I hate that phrase. There are billions of people who can't code and also aren't teaching it. And plenty of people who are good at something and enjoy giving back and sharing in the…

Sure, just like CDN or rarely-used excess capacity could be separate roles to the bulk of your compute. If you're racking up 750/hr putting big law on routine corporate tasks then …

Yeah, but that still sets a pretty hard limit somewhere between "can bully lebanon" and "regional hegemon".

All of the recent stuff on that link is UN peacekeeping missions, with the exception of unarmed fistfights in the Himalayas. I guess one could litigate the definition of "battle", …

An undersold embarrassment of this fiasco is the Marine Corps has 10 (ten!) amphibious assault carriers that are more capable than most nations' flagships and we didn't see one of …

Quick guess without looking it up: for how many decades were we protecting liberal democracy in Korea and Taiwan before they had their first free elections?

This is a big deal for infantry forces but I suspect rather less for air and missile forces. If anything, US pilots might be unequipped psychologically to deal with anything newer …
