Russia is neither forcibly conscripting nor are they preventing anyone from leaving the country should they wish. Ukraine is doing both at an increasingly absurd scale, all the while people wave their flag-of-the-week…
So is a command prompt.
I think you may have misread his post. He was not speaking of being born and raised in an area but his thought experiment was swapping out people explicitly from different cultures, and seeing at what percent the 'host'…
Meh results oriented thinking. Elon revolutionized rockets and electrical vehicles with 0 previous domain knowledge. In another timeline both concepts fail and he's just another clueless guy who blew a bunch of money on…
Sabatier reaction also rocks in this context. CO2 + O2 => methane with water as a byproduct. So all you really need is hydrogen. And conveniently part of the water you produce or harvest can be split into H2 and O2. The…
That 50% was after years of bubble optimism and actively blinding themselves to data strongly suggestive otherwise. Had the Apollo missions failed you would obviously be arguing, using the exact same data, that they…
Outside of Biden and Obama (first term only interestingly) deficits were far less. As recently as 2015, it was "only" $442 billion, and generally less than a trillion. USAID's budget was upwards of $50 billion, so…
I'm not sure it matters if it's attributed or not. Very few people are capable of setting their biases aside, so even intimate hearsay is mostly just going to be driven by subjective opinions about the person in…
I think if/when you have children you'll see that these sort of statements are not really realistic. In a sustainable society every single woman needs to have a bit more than 2 children on average. The 9 months are not…
The article is what you'd expect from the headline. The change in gender differences is easily explained by more girls pursuing music from an earlier age. More people (as a ratio) from a group competently doing…
Exactly. This [1] headline from the NYT pretty much sums up the issue: "To Make Orchestras More Diverse, End Blind Auditions." Different groups of peoples have different strengths and different weaknesses. This isn't…
Merit is somewhat paradoxically only partially about ability. If it turns out the most testably intelligent person chooses to spend his life flipping burgers and smoking weed then he has no more merit than the most…
The Civil Rights Act and related topics are part of the US Code (laws) [1] and are completely unrelated to DEI. The legal redresses available for discrimination have not changed whatsoever. The Civil Rights Act is…
You can read about PIER plan requirements here. [1] Archive since the page is already dead. Things are moving ridiculously fast for government to the point I suspect there was alot of desire to get rid of all this stuff…
If this were the case then they would be replacing the ideological conformity sections with different ideological conformity requirements. Instead they are simply stripping ideological requirements, period. Whatever a…
Yip, pretty much exactly this. It's easy to get confused because they have all the makings of a person, but their minds are just still extremely underdeveloped. For a silly example in teaching chess - a typical issue is…
It's just a norm and has been for centuries. For composed positions it should also generally be white to move. You're right that this isn't necessary (particularly when the board is labeled) but by doing something weird…
The thing that makes the puzzle neat is that it's one that a reasonably clever person who literally just learned the rules of chess should be able to solve. There's no nuance to it whatsoever beyond needing to…
It also creates this weird power imbalance. 'Advanced economies' are supposed to be just that, yet 'developing economies' cutting off their grain, steel and manufacturing is a far bigger threat than an advanced economy…
It's not about military indoctrination but the popularity of the leader. Yoon is exceptionally unpopular. If he had 80% approval, instead, he would probably now be the dictator of The People's Democratic Republic of…
A very small nitpick but the discretionary budget of the US is far smaller than most realize - in 2024 it was only 1.75 trillion. And notably, most military spending is discretionary, so the remaining funds for…
This looks rather extremely similar to something that Unreal already natively supports. Here is a demo video from them - https://youtube.com/watch?v=8tBNZhuWMac
It would be a good idea to site your facts rather than relying on instinct, because I suspect you write be surprised. For instance this [1] is the US monetary supply. If we only dump money on the economy when "bad…
Also the [general] requirement for a unanimous vote to convict makes this form of juror action quite uncommon. By contrast a single juror can cause a jury to be unable to convict.
There is one straight forward causal mechanism - excessive money printing sends the monetary supply skyrocketing and directly drives inflation. It's not hard to deal with inflation for the wealthy. You will generally…
