Because China’s no different, and geopolitics don’t map well onto personal relationships, except that trust matters. Even in your example, it would be that the drug dealer attacked and stole from my…
Why should one party to an agreement hold the other party accountable to the terms of the agreement?
Let’s see the factory layouts though. Release the blueprints!
The primary detector is the wide-field instrument, which, believe it or not, takes pictures with a wide field of view. The secondary detector is the coronagraph instrument, which uses a bunch of funky filters to block…
Why? The hacker ethos is all about understanding systems as they actually are; not as the people at the top want them to be. With the benefit of hindsight, it’s pretty clear that the Luddites were right; the…
I’m not convinced on ships yet. The strategic failure in Iran has overshadowed the tactical successes, including the fact that US ships have handled everything Iran has thrown at them. That could change, but right now,…
Did Meta set up the selection criteria for the automated selection system?
I have to assume that this list is pared down considerably. When I opened the list, I fully expected to see Roger Penrose, who believes that the human brain is a quantum computer. This is not a view that is espoused by…
I agree with you, but I think it’s worth pointing out that the NFL is balanced because they tried to make it balanced - the salary cap, draft, revenue sharing, etc. are all outcomes of that plan, not the prime…
That happened to me as well! I was asked to tip on an automated coffee dispenser…
Our brains also have evolved rewards for performing life-continuing behaviors, and then evolved to rewarding proxy behaviors, instead of the actual life-continuing behavior. This is perfectly in line with what you are…
Through Medicare and Medicaid, the US spends more public money per capita on healthcare than any other country spends period. This is largely because Medicare/Medicaid were not allowed to negotiate pricing; they were…
For the cost to develop the polio vaccine, March of Dimes could have bought enough iron lungs to save 12,000 lives. Of course, they had no idea what the actual number would be beforehand; all they knew is that they were…
I just learned earlier this week that he produced “In The Dark of the Night” from Anastasia!
Without condoning this, I think it’s important to be very clear about what this is: it’s an automation improvement to a decades-old existing system. Most retail stores already keep (and share!) photos of suspected…
My grandparents lived north of Salt Lake City, close enough that I’ve been there at least half a dozen times over several decades. Last time I did,I drove across a bridge with no water under it to an island that was…
You’re dodging their question.
I apologize if I’m missing the point you’re making, but trench foot and vaccines are completely unrelated. Vaccines fundamentally impact viruses. Trench foot is not caused by a virus, or any infection. It’s more akin to…
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. You’re going to need to justify both of those claims. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/feder...
It reflects incredibly poorly on management, bordering on incompetence. If those 10% of employees were needed, then management obviously shouldn’t fire them just to make the stock price go up. If they weren’t actually…
That’s also true of companies that AOC wants to raise taxes on. She’s not forcing anyone to pay those taxes. Companies that don’t want to pay those taxes are free to relocate away from America, abandon selling to the US…
“…for energy is the lifeblood of this society and when the chips are down he who controls the energy supply controls Planet. In former times the energy monopoly was called ‘The Power Company’; we intend to give this…
Negative. “…the data does not by themselves establish the physical origin of the light that generated the images…”
1) because there aren’t enough teachers in-state + coming out of the lower 48 to meet demand. 2) Pay alone can’t make people happy, which is why there’s a very high alcoholism/suicide rate among oil workers, despite it…
At a general level, it is a simple fact that there are more qualified/happy candidates globally than there are just in the United States. For the second part, no, I assume that money/opportunity are WHY they’re happy to…
