We're commenting on the fact that demand has surged in the last few months. Russian and American behavior from a decade ago didn't (directly) cause that.
The government can refuse to buy a fighter jet that runs software they don't want. Is it really reasonable to refuse to buy a fighter jet because somebody at Lockheed who works on a completely unrelated project uses…
It is possible that the root cause is an individual person being bad. This hasn't been as common recently because people were told not to be villains and to dislike villains, so root causes of the remaining problems…
>A customer actually has no competitor to move to - crunchyroll has a defacto monopoly (barring piracy). When fansubs were good, Crunchyroll was forced to compete with them on quality. It's hard to convince people to…
I know a lot of Gen Z and even Millennial adults who are still living at home well after finishing school. I'm sure plenty of them would love to get out of their parents' homes but can't afford current rents, but might…
Yes, part III section C is all about the effect of house prices on fertility. There's certainly an effect, but previous studies have shown that housing costs can only account for a small share of the drop in fertility.
How is this creating value for shareholders? They wasted a bunch of engineer and pm salaries building useless products that never made (and now never will make) any significant money.
Is there reason to believe authors aren't getting a cut of the library license costs? I used to buy my ebooks until I realized libraries had ebook catalogues. A large portion of the books I've borrowed are sales the…
You can, it's called an Alford plea. You maintain your innocence but accept the plea deal anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alford_plea
I've been aiming for 12 books a year for the last 5 years or so. Sometimes I'll go months without picking up a book, and the challenge is helpful for getting me back into it.
I'm an anti-car urbanist, but this kind of comment makes me embarrassed to be one. Different people like different things. The fact that something is bad for the climate doesn't magically make it unpleasant for…
I moved into a house with a yard last year and since the spring it has been nothing but a source of extra chores. Even my dog doesn't care much for it, he's happier going for a walk around the neighborhood. Different…
How is spitballing a presentation cheating? It's the equivalent of taking a test without studying, not presenting somebody else's work as your own.
The occupy movement had a leader?
The first category in the "education" section is a list of the five best novels set in boarding schools. I don't think they're suggesting that reading those books will make you an expert on how to…
Most Americans already have electric stoves, and its disproportionately higher income people who still cook with gas. I know this is all based more on vibes than facts though.
If anything free education allows you to raise your standards. The group of applicants who are academically qualified should be strictly larger than the group that's both academically qualified and willing to pay…
I live in Seattle, not San Francisco, but we have some similar issues with our schools. I'd really prefer to send my son to our local public schools, but if they aren't challenging him appropriately then my wife and I…
I guess you could call Uranium nuclei star fossils?
What do you suggest we do instead?
>Dr Spiegel says that encouraging patients to get plenty of sleep before and after a vaccination appointment is an ideal way for a medical system to maximise its vaccine stock and ensure that the benefits granted are as…
My wife is my productivity assistant. It works great. Since COVID started we've had our desks next to each other, and even though she's not constantly checking on me, I know she can see if I'm just wasting time. On days…
Which alternative is less dystopian? * Clearcut wilderness to build more suburban homes * Don't build more homes, just stuff more people into existing homes * Let the excess population live in cars or on the sidewalk *…
Net metering just doesn't make sense though. Everyone who wants to rely on the grid for power availability ought to pay for grid upkeep costs. Net metering would make sense if it came on top of a baseline "connectivity…
So did my parents. I'm going to be a father any day now, and you can be sure I'll do the same. I don't see how it's "fair" that I was born to hardworking, financially responsible parents, while most others were less…
