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'…
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…
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…
Because it was mostly being astroturfed. Democracy obviously isn't going to end in any way, shape, or fashion under Trump. And so the organizations pushing these lies need to move onto the next lies to keep the rage and…
This is not necessarily just a matter of perception if society is indeed generally on a downward arc. This sounds melodramatic yet it's quite trivial to list countless things that have become much worse, while it's…
He's making tens of millions of Americans (especially including those who may not have otherwise been political) quite fond of him, bringing back a platform that has definitely been a net positive for him overall,…
Indeed, and I suspect as more people learn about jury nullification, the world will grow more just.
Which recourses are you talking about? It was mostly a classic witch hunt in that they were charged without evidence, presumed guilty, and then told to prove that they were not a witch. It's a tried and true method to…
Erm... TikTok has longform content.
CIA gives 18.8%, so about 1.5 billion. [1] But this number is dubious as it's largely from self response. Here [2] is a list by country. So 25% of Thais, 50% of Ukrainians, 50% of Poles, and so on "speak English." In…
It's not like Russia is a closed country, nor is inflation difficult to measure. Third parties don't simply take Russian figures at face value, which is why the numbers from e.g. the World Bank will vary slightly from…
