No, I'm pointing out the need for critical thinking when reading political news. People love to lap up whatever fits their beliefs and forget that the writers are trying to mislead them without technically lying.
Are you saying those researchers got their upper bound too low? You should inform them of their mistake.
I'm sure you know that "up to" means the same as "no more than", and "could" means "might or might not". So there's no meaning in what you quoted, so why did you not only quote it but say that it's important and most…
I'm talking about doublerabbit, not India. Doublerabbit apparently doesn't like human rights, which is his right, but it's possible he actually holds contradictory opinions and doesn't realize it.
What do you think that human rights rule is supposed to mean then? By your definition, the (more older) Chinese way of restricting mobility between provinces according to hukou would be OK because you can just bypass…
How do you reconcile you complaint about complaining about the tourist ban with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which says people have the right to freedom of movement within the borders of each state?
Because it's a negative unhappy view. It's not enjoyable to hear people complaining about problems or imaginary problems everywhere - and it really is everywhere. It's hard to find news about exciting new technology…
It's not reductionist - planes and their vapor trails are a constant presence in the sky there and in many places. Far more obvious than even these 5-10x as many satellites will be. I'm sure there are cloud…
I grew up with aeroplanes flying overhead. I hope my parents or grandparents weren't getting depressed about my suffering. Grow up.
Yes, but real writing is also unbounded in complexity. Unicode can't do everything or it would just be a general purpose vector graphics language. Traditionally, writing systems had to adapt to the limitations of the…
10x worse than the best time in all of history to be a human doesn't sound so bad. Even just 200 years ago, a gigantic chain of internal wars killed 25% of the entire population of my country.
Has seeing the horrors of the Ukraine war made you want the west to stop it and force a surrender? More horrors don't make people want less war. If anything, it may be the opposite. People pretend to be anti-war right…
There are side effects and you may have to try different drugs to minimize them and maximize the effect. Medicine makes sense when the side effects are less bad than the problem that the main effect is solving, not only…
According to cygv... the more intensely you use the battery, the more miles you get out of it, so kind of yea, the faster you use it, the "longer" it lasts in miles. And this example supports that idea because it was…
Do you mean 11 years is a "long" time? I'd say it doesn't matter how long it was - it ended up better the expected based on the miles, and since it was a high-mileage-per-year car, that supports the claim that…
That's 25000 miles per year, which is high. So the opposite of false.
If the author was honestly trying to communicate, he would believe that the reader is already expecting it to be X, but it tends to get used for things where you didn't even consider it to be X in the first place. So…
Have you considered it might be something medically treatable? There are drugs for that sort of thing. I've tried some and wouldn't have believed it was possible before - aren't I anxious because I haven't done things…
>What's the population of the suburb you live in? About that? This comment shows you're being disingenuous. If a war killed 4 people, you'd be asking how big my family was. You can obviously understand the significance…
Of course not. Education is free on the internet. University provides motivation and credentials. The motivation part is important because most people can't stick to such rigorous education for so long without some…
It depends how you define philanthropy - obviously corporations don't just donate such valuable products to the world to make it a better place, but in effect that's what they end up doing in their effort to gain market…
Racial identity is a good proxy for ethnicity which studies do show affects IQ.
> conclude that to be a bloody stupid idea. You say that as if all the other presidents' wars in the middle east were shown to be good ideas and they were smart to follow that advice and kill all those people their…
We're talking about before his election. What made it predictable that Trump would bomb Iran but Harris wouldn't? Whoever the president is, the forces that make America fight wars seem to keep on successfully pushing…
I'd insert another important level of knowing which I feel deserves the name "understanding" and that's knowing its relationships to other thing you also know. Perhaps even that's almost all there is in knowing…
