Note that this 10% is heavily skewed toward the richest, biggest cities. In bigger cities, it might be closer to 20-30% of their economy. Take that away, and it would have a cascading effect through entire countries.

Europe is caught in a dilemma: tourism, air travel, and city hopping are its economic lifeblood that keeps the continent running, but these also cause the greatest damage to the environment. Since they can't fix the real problem are tr

Or perhaps AI code generation will "kill" both editors. Why bother learning any editor when you do not need to write code, and there is no reason to enter gg=G``zz

Ok, but why is it the Icelandic crown "bad"? What is the economic cause of it? I do not know much about Iceland, only that, like New Zealand (and Canada), it is sometimes painted as some sort of progressive heaven that the US shou

Why wouldn't the price also fluctuate if it is in Euros? Doesn't the price fluctuation reflect an economic reality? Related: couldn't a country adopt euros voluntarily without joining the EU? Like Ecuador adopted US dollars.

Before AI, cool and interesting shots carried the promise that it was reality - even if it was perhaps exaggerated. The amazing videos and photos carried the promise that I could experience that for real. They were aspirational. Today I sus

This seems to have touched a nerve, based on the number of downvotes. In this particular case that makes the message more trustworthy for me ;-)

You misunderstood my reply completely. I am saying we are not selecting for those people. When we hire at the university, we ignore creative, tenacious people and instead select mediocre people with a nice woke story that meets the woke req

LOL, 62%? that seems low ... I would say the overwhelming majority of even university faculty members lack a basic understanding of statistics. In their heads, they’re doing something closer to informal Bayesian reasoning: they have prior b

I think people should not use the word nazi so liberally if they want to be taken seriously; it's not that complicated either ...

The point he is making is valid: these groups are not randomly selected and are not representative of one another. Hence, it is not that simple to extrapolate from one to the other. Would free healthcare reduce deaths in uranium miners that

I did not know who that person was, but you seem to be saying none of his opinions could possibly be right?

Maybe they should charge a little more per action, and the onslaught would stop. Seems like a simple solution.

Great monologue, shaky biology. Viruses do not multiply endlessly. Most viruses exist in stable ecological cycles. Most viruses are beneficial to life. We complain about the few (and tiny minority of viruses) that infect humans and we do so

None of these products would be made in the US, though ... and none would affect trade imbalance ... so the net effect might only be to increase inefficiency in your own country

Reply: things don't work well for the same reason this very post is so hard to read wall of text. I find it deeply ironic that the author can't even produce readable text, while complaining about other, much more complex tasks not

Without even visiting the page I can predict what this writing will be about with uncanny accuracy. 1. Big words at the start - pretending to hack at a problem so big that just swinging the axe is a major undertaking 2. The prose slowly dri

There is a parable that applies here, --- The donkey, feeling unappreciated, approaches God with a heavy heart. "Dear God," says the donkey, "why is it that all the other animals mock me, belittle me, and hold me in contempt?

That's what going "nuclear" looks like ... I guess Mullenweg found out. Sadly, instead of supporting open source with $5 million, they each will spend 10 million on lawyers.

Excellent point made here; credit card balance can be a money maker, actually! The actual opposite of debt.

I am not calling others wrong, I am calling the definition incorrect. A credit card balance during the grace period is not a debt - it is no different than paying by check - it is not more than a delay between a purchase being reflected on

Statements like the above are what should give everyone pause. I think that statement can't be true. Detailed measurements exists for less than a hundred years - yet the WWA is cock sure this is the highest rainfall ever. It goes to th

But if you look at the number-crunching process that gave you those percentages, it turns out to be woefully fragile and sensitive to a whole range of other factors Countless prior models were completely off, but this one is suddenly correc

Check those numbers. I looked at the original data, and it seems that in the report you linked, debt is defined as a credit card balance. I don't know about others, but I always float thousands on my balance and pay it off by the end o

Python, in general, would be much faster for prototyping than Java. That is the main attraction of Pyhon.
