It is setting up the classic liability shift. If you are just paying the bills and leasing the space, is it really your fault a datacenter some other entity built is sucking the water table of Levelland dry? If I just use and don't own

Watterson was known for being very much a stickler for the format and color of the comic. He'd eschew printing norms for the Sunday format and more or less force papers to either print it how he wanted or not get it at all. The respons

Picking only the tail ends of the distribution also tells me you don't understand how the bulk of progress is made. It isn't always Eureka moments but also a slow grinding away at assumptions to confirmations.

Turns out, if we feed data in and query it in the right way, we can come to charts that allow bad conclusions just like any other. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/01/16/lucky-charms-healthie...

There's a difference between Trump says populist things and Trump does populist things. Much like "saying things I want to hear" and "saying things I need to hear." For your factory worker example, at exactly a year

Interesting you'd think I know about 1980's Hong Kong political handover of power and not know about whatever whataboutism you're spouting. Truly remarkable.

I believe this is the correct response. We're not going to debate the measuring stick when the stick itself is incapable of measuring the outcome. In none of those scenarios provided did a sitting US president come close to insinuating

I feel this disregards of scarcity economics. Let's say we have a finite amount of cheap water units between us. After exhausting those units, the price to acquire more goes up. Each our actions use up those units. If restrictions on w

And therein is the problem - if your robots take up so many resources I can't have my dishwasher, is that your right? Is your right to being happy more important than others?

It helps provide a launching point or springboard. We know, going in, this isn't the final product but enough to get boilerplate and momentum.

I'm seeing the worst of both worlds where a human support engineer just blindly copies and pastes whatever internal LLM spit out.

Those events happened when widespread support and supply were brought into to deal with the relatively limited destruction. This is destruction on a scale that has not been seen in the likes of civilization outside the bronze age collapse.

Lean to buying/doing a conversion vs "polished" ebike. Buy the best lock you can afford - it should be a grinder resistant one such as hiplok or litelok. Note that while the lock may be resistant, the thing it's locked t

Ok-but you make a sweeping statement about the impact to safety and ATC numbers in the wake of an air tragedy - do you expect me to weigh this as heavily as COVID? While I agree with the surface evaluation(you have likely lower quality init

I agree. Reading their alternatives, it strikes me with "ZCTA's are the worst form of small area aggregation except for all others." Its not a great geography to use but it is quite useful if you know it's limitations

I'm going to assume you mean "academy" attrition for sake of conversation. You have a wave of much higher attrition after 2013 because....You have a lot more trainees on fewer trainers. That means more load is placed on fewer

Possibly but I'd argue it's far from a smoking gun. The sequester of 2013 did a number on things and they hired to maximum capacity in the years after to make up for lost time. It stands to reason that by filling training to the m

That is the frustrating part - the article had it's lane and just had to stick in it. Instead, we get someone extrapolating and guessing when we have actual data from COVID on class delays/size reduction(as well as more controller
