Author here. Glad you all are enjoying this. It was a lot of fun to make. You might also like my previous piece that had an accompanying narrative. https://moultano.wordpress.com/2021&…

No, it really isn't. Plant conservatories never feel stuffy even though the humidity is high, and the same room with fewer people in it doesn't feel stuffy either.

I would posit that the level of CO2 you need to cause detectable society wide problems is probably lower than the level that makes a room actively uncomfortable to be in. There's a reason why we …

You'll notice CO2 levels at 1000 ppm. The air will feel "stuffy," you'll feel lethargic, and feel like going outside. This is the primary reason why meetings at work are so stultif…

You can't do that due to the hairy ball theorem. https://web.archive.org/web/20190603140245/elevr.com/elevran... …

Aimbots need no trust from the server. As long as the client knows things the player doesn't, and there isn't a chain of custody from the physical mouse to the server, you can cheat.

You mean 8,000 years ago, there was an age of rising seas for the preceding 10,000 years.

Come on, we didn't even have time for the trials we actually ran. Thousands died while we waited for rubber stamps.

Insulation doesn't substitute for AC if the lows aren't low enough to cool thing down at night.

That's not a heatwave that's just heat.

Yay condescension. Heat waves are caused by heat domes, and they don't have clouds https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/07/10/heat-dome-... …

I hope these get cheap enough that every house in the tropics gets them on their rooves. AC is going to become essential as temperatures rise, the grid can't support the load, and we can't a…

It isn't the magnetic field that's causing weakening jetstreams, it's the rapid warming of the poles and the loss of the polar ice cap. https://www.nature.com/articles&#…

There's a heat dome over the west similar to the one that brought 126 degree temperatures to Canada 2 weeks ago, but less extreme. Generally, Greenland is losing gigatons of ice every year. http…

Tomorrow might beat it by a few degrees.

The context of that quote was him explaining that Google has to comply with legal government requests for information.

No way. We need nearly everyone to get the vaccine, with the abstainers purely randomly distributed, in order to reach herd immunity, which we aren't going to reach, so it's going to keep sp…

That seems like a compelling use case. The next thing I wonder though is whether that can exist without the ponzi scheme on the side. Is it the remittances, or the ransomware and speculation that fund…

Should I conclude anything from the fact that almost all of the products with high benzene contents are sprays instead of lotions?

It's really hard to design something like that that anyone would get value out of using because matching the query isn't a binary notion.

Those are good examples! I'll pass them along to debug. I think what's happening is that the wording is ambiguous enough that it's colliding with concepts like "how well does valve…
