  • That's almost literally the opposite of what the judges actually said.

    They specifically called out "the use of unfair and deceptive practices", but ruled the FTC has to follow it's own procedures and, in this case, did not.

    Once the FTC follows it's own processes and procedures, it can institute the same policy.

  • Practice. It get to Chestnut's level, it has to be intentional.

    3 popeyes sandwiches used the be a common order for me, but I try to eat less these days. Most of my practice was not with purpose of getting better, but I enjoyed the feeling of fullness even as a child and still love a buffet.

  • I guess the answer to at least one of those is no. Last time I tried a battery replacement, I broke the screen either during assembly or disassembly. I build my own desktop PCs, and have fixed laptop monitors and drives, but every time I attempt hardware repair on something phone-ish, I make it worse (even going back to when I owned an OpenMoko).

  • Maybe he's got a finer point, but it actually just looks like an argument against categorization. It's like saying I don't trust math about "triangles" or "scalene triangles" or "rhombuses" when you find out about the special properties of the equilateral triangle or the square.

    The fact that there are differences between elements of a category does not eliminate the utility of the commonalities shared by elements of a category. It does limit that utility, yes.

    For example, just because you are getting plenty of protein, if you somehow completely avoid one of the amino acids that the human body uses but can't synthesize, then eventually you will have some fairly specific health problems. That's not strong evidence that it's worth micromanaging your macronutrients by tracking your intake of all amino acids individually. (It might be; I haven't seen it studies either way.)

    Maybe I'm missing some context, but I also get the "anti-science" vibe from the image.

  • Justice can be achieved without racism.

    Actually, it can't. Since racism caused the injustice, identifying the victims and restoring their losses is impossible without using it.

    The pendulum swing (post-dampening) is the only practical way to get to justice.

    This is especially true since we can't know we've achieved societal justice without some measurement delay.

  • There's no option for me to choose a copyright-free world. But, I can choose to not use (or promote or propagate) works made by "AI" owned my MASSIVE corporations in violation of the copyrights of millions of independent, often non-profit-driven content creators (including myself).

  • Clarke's Maxim: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

    Corollary / Contrapositive: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

  • When the environment is energetic enough, the electromagnetic force and the weak force unify into the electroweak force. The weak interaction controls radioactive decay.

    We can control electromagnetic force "at scale", IMO. It's not freely, but we have networks of electromagnetic systems that span continents.

    If we could control the weak force at the same scale... I'm not sure what wonders we might unlock. At the very least, I imagine we could "clean" instead of just "contain" radioactive waste, at least low-level stuff.
