I note you've completely moved on from the huge fallacy of a statistical claim that you made, to choose to circle back to hit one of the other topics we've already discussed earlier.

We all know about the Gish gallop. Pick one. You basically committed data interpretation murder in the grandparent comment.

If I fail to engage with every single point of yours, it doesn't make those points right. Especially when they're repeated after having already been addresses!

OK, so there's some questions on the whole test which might inadvertently measure religiosity-- if people don't realize they're supposed to respond with the scientific belief. (Of course, once they're betting on how they will score on that test, it's hard to understand what else they might believe would be the rubric for said test). Even so, this would hardly explains things showing up in the subscores with the same slopes, unless you think the bulk of the test is contaminated.

You're the one pulling the CSVs and running analyses-- is that question missed more by people who have anti-consensus views?

> An interesting issue in itself, but a further problem in this study given relatively few people indicated max dissent, so they're measuring people literally racing through the survey for their $0.85 likely without reading it beyond looking for the "Please select #2 as the answer to this question." questions.

Look, it's just easy to eyeball the graphs and see removing the '7's does nothing to the slope of the lines.
9 months ago people were saying NFTs are “here to stay”, how did that work out?.
PFAS has a boiling point of 189C. That’s not very high at all.
Why isn't there a downvote button? Such an agenda.
There are lots of things that can be detected rather simply in a lab though. Like running a bioassay to ascertain activity at various receptors. Bisphenol A for instance has interactions with several hormone receptors. A single in vitro study is enough to label BPA as biologically active and therefore a potential risk.

Similarly, some PFAS compounds are now known to interact with certain receptors involved in lipid metabolism. So it can also be determined as biologically active in vitro.

There's just so much more that can be done about this on the regulatory side than is done currently.
I love how this entire article calls this “lobbying” and not blatant corruption - a billionaire decides how their wealth and the entire industry will get regulated, based purely on how many politicians they can pay off.
Why can't the owner pay a company to deal with that? You are conflating the part of the remuneration for the landlord that has to do with actual services rendered, with the part that simply has to do with the monopoly on capital rights.

That's a general contractor, not a flipper. The key difference is who takes on the risk: if I hire a general contractor and they turn out to be not very good at their job, that's my problem.
It would be good to know how successful the author's startup was/is. I mean OK one can follow this advice and get work on the startup done, but is it enough to make a successful startup, or was it all the effort just a waste of time at the end of it?

It's not hard to look at everything we have and do and see how fragile it all is. It feels harder and harder to acquire the "things" necessary to feel successful, and once you get them, and see how easy it is to lose, it's not weird to think people might feel extremely vulnerable.

It also doesn't help that most popular cinematic futurism is post-apocalyptic now. I remember RedLetterMedia pointing to the success of Independence Day as the turning point and I can see some validity in that.

It was a theory. It was tested. It didn't work, not with Russia, not with the rest of Europe.
Indeed. I lived in Boston for nearly twenty years. Car ownership there is usually more hassle than not and it's also quite expensive. Most housing near subway stations is also incredibly expensive so most people rely on spotty bus service supplemented with longer walks, bicycles, and taxis/ride shares for transport. In total, I must have spent months of time in 90F-100F humid summer sun or 10F howling wind late at night traveling or waiting for busses/trollies outdoors. The worst though was around March when it's just warm enough for the salty snow and ice either falling from the sky or lining the ground to be slush so you're perpetually damp, but it's just around the freezing point and windy. To boot, everything is grey and filthy and everybody else is miserable and you question how many more of those seasons you've got left in you. But the crisp autumn days and warm summer nights around there are absolutely magical. It almost seems worth the punishment.
To let you drag down by outer circumstances is more dangerous in my opinion. When you start running even if you would rather lay in bed that generates a lot of self-esteem. The resulting positive attitude may even be good for your immune system.

In some unfortunate situations you need to take some risks to get out of it.

One detail:

When the special theory of relativity was published the problem of the aether, or rather that the speed of light was the same in all directions, was very well-known. This problem was very much based on empirical evidence.

Special relativity provided a mathematical framework within which that could be true, and included some further testable hypotheses, which were then still unproven. (Time slowing down for fast travellers etc.)

But I think it's fair to say that special relativity was developed due to empirical necessity.
Pitting nuclear against coal is fighting a straw man. The alternative is renewables. With a tiny fraction of the negative side-effects either nuclear or of fossil energy brings.

But RoHS permits lead if there's no reasonable alternative. One example is lead acid batteries which contain a lot of lead. A similar exemption could be made for these I guess if they're really that promising.
At the time, many of the people who brought legitimate concerns to light were dismissed as alarmist.

History is full of instances of people not taking concerns seriously because “I’ve done things this way for years and I’m not dead yet”, only to find out a 30 years later, that in fact, it was something that causes a chronic disease.
I can't remember where I read this, but somebody once said something like, "If there were a conspiracy to kill the streetcars in favor of automobiles, then it was a conspiracy conducted with the enthusiastic support of the American public."

Transit enthusiasts and urbanists -- I'm both -- love any narrative that says that suburbanites have been tricked into their living arrangements by nefarious outside interests, but in fact this is what Americans have more or less demanded.
> whims of a profit motive for someone who owes you nothing.

what whims? I have a lease for X months. Yes all bets are off after that. No one is acting on whims.

Homeowners are also at the whims of cost of labor to make essential repairs , cost of necessary appliances , property tax increases, employment opportunities near your home if you lose your job and whims of the banks that can foreclose your home.

Nothing in life is a guarantee . Owing mortgage payments to a bank vs renting isn't more freedom. Renters can become homeowners if they want and homeowners are forced to become renters ( remember 2009 ) . So i don't really understand what 'freedom' being a homeowner gives you. Your financial status give you freedom not your home ownership status.
Recent routers can handle 1M routes while the Internet routing table currently has... 928K routes. Allowing people to disaggregate further would blow out routers.

Interesting. Yes, when I bought my C1 there were two models I looked at with a $100 price difference. They were identical other than the more expensive one including a HEPA filter where the cheaper one had the Air Clean filter and holder. But a HEPA filter by itself only cost $55, so I bought the cheap one and a separate HEPA filter.

In case it helps, here are the bag+filter packages I've been getting:

This definitely has both the throwaway Air Clean filter and the scratchy pre-motor filter.

In the 11th Century, Peter Abelard wrote a famous book called “Sic et Non” - which is always translated as “Yes and No.”

Even in Classical Latin “ita” was pretty close to yes.

I think an ancient Roman would understand and possibly use sic and ita much as we use “yes”.

But it’s been a while. My Latin is rusty.

If you're just going to enforce MFA on weak passwords anyway, what do you need the weak passwords for exactly?

This is almost the exact line of reasoning why Microsoft, Apple, and Google have (finally) all agreed to work together to eliminate passwords altogether. Which probably is the only way that we can solve this: eliminate passwords, use proper keys and attestations instead of passwords, and try to make the user experience as nice as possible and at least no worse than yesterday's TOTP 2FA.

(And yes, there are lots of valid complaints for power users that know how to use a password manager today that any such key management platforms would be a worse single point of failure than their existing password manager because it would be more opaque and harder to user-manage/export. It's an interesting trade off for average user security, at least.)
There are some suspected and known harms certain enough to be published by the EPA https://www.epa.gov/pfas/our-current-understanding-human-hea...

You're right we're not completely certain, but I think it would be prudent to immediately cut back on all PFAS except scenarios where no viable alternative exists since they are so hard to remove from the environment. As nice as non-stick PFAS pans are, they need to go for now until we know more.

1. The high cost of insurance is a political problem, it has nothing to do with the actual damage that can occur. So making the response political is actually fair.

2. Waste storage is a solved problem, even for the current idiotic way we're doing it. Currently, the vast majority of the "waste" is actually unused fuel. Why? Because the fuel is too cheap to make extracting all of it worthwhile.
It’s nano amps at a moderately low voltage you’re able to feel, it isn’t unsafe, you just happen to be aware of it.

Just use cooling towers...

Edit: I'm getting rate-limited, so my answer to the genius observation below, that cooling towers also need water, is the following:

Cooling towers evaporate water. Thus the concerns of OP do not apply about overheating the river downstream:

>The cooling water comes from the rivers and the plants have limits how hot the water is allowed to get downstream
Probably the whole picture of how you want to use the data in your database needs to be considered to judge this properly. There are "escape hatches" like having a separate entity, which is called something like "ProductAttribute", with a foreign key being the actual "Product". The Product would still have attributes, which every product has, lets say a name, a product id, a creation date, etc., while ProductAttribute could contain any other attribute, not relevant for all products.

Why is this an "escape hatch"? Well, if you want to process that data later, it would most likely be very convenient, if you had all product attributes as columns, instead of having them as rows in another table. One would then have to translate back to the usual form of having them as columns. It is possible, but annoying. However, if you never need to analyze the data like that, then storing in this kind of extra table might solve all your use cases. It is ultimately a trade-off between safety or type strictness and flexibility (being able to add arbitrary attributes without having to change the schema).

Another, but in my opinion quite bad, solution is, to have loads of empty columns for future attributes. But it is really a terrible solution, running contrary to any good database design.

It's because the automobile was already exploding in popularity at the time and all these suburban residents were buying cars, so they were going to have to pay for automobile infrastructure, either way. The streetcars were an extra, unnecessary cost, from this point of view.

Some things absolutely distill over, it’s not magic, but depends on (to simplify) the boiling point of the substance compared to the boiling point of water.

For example it is not possible to completely separate ethanol and water with distillation.

A quick internet search seems to indicate PF* can be separated with distillation.

Nec/necque are a good way to negate in Latin.
Ok, I should clarify.

The things that have been around for generations and we haven't yet discovered deal breaking issues in should obviously get a pass (unless something is eventually found of course).

When a company comes out with a flashy new product that has a novel use of a compound, we should be skeptical by default, especially if it is something that eventually makes its way onto or into our bodies somehow.

I'm not asking for complete safety. I'm just suggesting that we don't presume "safe enough" by default.

Apples are fine. When you do some novel shit to that apple before it gets to me, no thanks, I'll wait and see. Whatever the benefit is, its probably not for my sake (it's probably good for margins though), and if it is it's probably not that much better than a plain old apple.
That can/will happen regardless of distribution via Vimeo or torrent or YT or whatever.

Torrent doesn't enable that any more than any other distribution channel.
There are ways to design a nuclear plant that reduce the probability of shit happening by orders of magnitude. We should focus on building plants that can shut down using only passive systems with no human action.

Microwaves and browning pans are the most modern and efficient method of cooking
I have been cooking with a MicroPro Grill for over a year. The manufacturer uses a high-end Eterna coating that shows no sign of wear. Anything that can be prepared an an oven can be prepared in this browning pan, and in less than half the time. Clean up is minimal and I use far less energy. Moreover, my smoke detectors have never been triggered.

My experience using these pans has convinced me that natural gas ovens are an inferior holdover technology actively suppressed through advertising slogans like "Now we're cooking with gas" and dubious research papers sowing doubt on the (now long proven) safety record of microwave ovens. Microwaves are not an inferior good, but were meant to be the future of cooking.

Good questions and no they're not invasive, so no worries. Each day (and sometimes each interaction) the person acting as "me" is just one of the entities taking over, so effectively there's no central "me" at all if that makes sense. Today it's introverted family-man, but if we attend an event in the evening for example, the more social personality takes over and listens in on the conversations from family-man and others. Let's say the social one is currently active and sitting at the bar with friends having a great time, the family-man will say "we should text our wife and let her know we'll be home late" to which the social one may respond with "nah, we'll do it later" or "yeah that's a good idea, we'll do it now".

EDIT: to answer your last question about "equal access", we share thoughts and deliberate, but one can't exert control over the others nor forcefully take over. The active person at any given moment depends on the outside environment and what we decide is best for the situation, so it's kind of a democratic process; not sure if that can be defined as equal access or not.

I feel like for me that’s because progress in one direction implies lack of progress in other directions of concern. That’s scales with the number of things you’re trying to get done.

That’s why I think long running work streams with focus are so important. Context switching has cost beyond just the startup and tear down.
That's not correct. Neither PEX nor copper use tape, and that's been the vast majority of new water piping for 20+ years.

In connections that do use tape, like old galvanized steel pipe, the tape is entirely within the joints, because it's a lubricant.

Some of the hardest things were:
- Gathering facts about the product, where it was manufactured and what its shipping routes were.
- Getting permission to film during the trip.
- Finding a technical solution (in 2011) that could record continuously during the entire journey of the container ship.

It was comparatively easy to design the concept, it then took a very long time to implement.

We are not professional filmmakers, but something that helped us was to be stubborn.
If you asked 100 random people on the street, I'll bet most would say the Fukushima nuclear disaster killed hundreds or thousands of people.

Not a critique if the film, but rather the article ablut it:

>> Logistics may have been birthed into this world in 2012, but the past few years have given the film a second life, with the pandemic laying bare the fragility of just-in-time logistics.

I so hoped we got past that already... JIT had nothing to do, as a root cause that is, with the supply issues the world is facing since the pandemic. I hate this meme so much.

That being said, I live the film project! Even if I would never watch 35 days plus on part of my day job, the idea is great so!

I think there is really something to the idea that as time becomes more precious, you use it more productively. It reminds me in a way of the idea that constraints, for example in art, are where true creativity comes from. Having absolutely no boundaries at all isn't actually a recipe for great artistic expression. It's a loose analogy, but in somewhat the same manner, when you feel absolutely no limitations or demands on your time, you simply squander it. I think someone once said that if you really want something done, find the busiest person you know and ask them to do it. As counterintuitive as this seems, it's very true in my personal experience. People who are busy and who have a lot of demands on their time are quicker to stop starting and start finishing.
Some alarmists being right in the past does not validate all future alarmists.
