Reactors on Navy vessels, since at least the 70s, are very safe. They are closed systems and are completely sealed in compartments surrounded by feet of shielding. While some negligible amount of radiation does get…
I have no skin in the game; didn't even read the article. "You're just being contrarian so you're wrong" is a weak and lazy retort. I did appreciate that op provided a counter-perspective though; that's rare.
Science, indeed any intellectual thought, won't progress without contrarian views challenging the/your status quo.
A conservative wanting to limit the power of government? Shocking! Seriously though, this position is consistent with conservative beliefs; why do you find it hard to believe? Even the infamous Rush Limbaugh opposed…
> Due to some [reason], an overpopulation calamity hasn’t yet happened and we might coincidentally stabilize at a level that’s somewhat close to what maximizes average utility... Given the birthrate trends in developed…
Given the context, I suspect the parent was referring to the overhead caused by managing incompetents. Given the choice between working with an asshat who knows what they're doing and a moron who doesn't understand the…
Thought experiment: how would you feel if YouTube banned all pro-trans content? ...or pro-choice, or anti-Isreal/Jewish material? It doesn't matter to me if you're against companies censoring any of these things. Be…
"Hey Whitey! Check your privilege!" You're right, there's no insult intended when people say that. Apparently whiteys have thin skin too!
What's your position on vaccines? There's all kinds of stupid decisions being made on both ends of the debate right now, most influenced by fear...
The data suggests western countries _are_ leading the way on plastic waste disposal. It's high time we started helping others, don't you think?
Google FI user. I can confirm it fantastic great for international travel.
I was expecting the same, so I was surprised when it wasn't. Why would you be disappointed?
I'm sure the comments were made in jest...
You can't be serious.
Poppycock! A. Private companies cannot force you to do a single thing! Governments have entire agencies and departments dedicated to keeping people they deem dangerous in line, using a list of powers up to and including…
Not many neanderthals around these days. Just an observation.
...but perforce getso many other things wrong....
What 'greater good' can possibly be achieved by having to literally write the same app 5 different times?
Negatory. Us shovels more funding per student into its public schools than almost any other country. That funding is spend poorly, mostly on administrative functions that no doubt demonstrate in great detail how great…
All the FAANGs are American companies, and they've all been pushing the boundaries. What do you feel America has lost in this respect?
It would be nice if articles like this appeared in non-conservative media. Unfortunately, theses days, the only way to find articulate conservative perspectives is to visit conservative outlets.
Exactly! We play games against bots all the time to improve our own skills; why wouldn't the same tactic work to improve our own knowledge?
Government is not an effective tool for societal change in democracies because, by definition, they require society to want those changes. For instance, although homosexuality has been a political issue for decades, gay…
That's makes no sense... Why do you do it? Are you trying to speed up the revolution?
This is a great post. Not the text of course, but it's implications. See, the people you think are stupid actually agree with you on this point -- and very likely see you as stupid. Statically, both of you rarely engage…
