You clearly didn't read the article.

I occasionally get Heady Topper in New Jersey. The stores usually limit how many you can buy, but it does show up here and there.

In addition to other reasons given, the big one is interstate commerce.

Do you have a citation for the MTA poaching unhappy NJT workers? I've only seen people leaving the MTA for NJT, and not a single instance of the opposite.

That's not the issue. Union Square on the Park Avenue line and the old South Ferry on the 7th Avenue line both had platform "gap fillers" installed decades ago that require the train to stop at an exact location each and every time:

Every station has lining boards that the conductor must check before opening the doors to ensure that the entire train is stopped along the platform:

Did you just invent alternating current?

Which pictures, exactly? They look pretty well balanced to me, and the histograms agree.

Occam's razor. Climate change is more likely to do us in.

Learning from failure is not success. It's just a benefit.

> "One is too many" is not enough to justify a complete abolition of the death penalty.

Yes it is.

> it's like saying that machines can never be stronger than humans because they're built by humans.

Did you even read the article?

“This idea of surpassing human ability is silly because it’s made of human abilities.” He says comparing ourselves with AI is the equivalent of comparing ourselves with a car. “It’s like saying a car can go faster than a human runner. Of course it can, and yet we don’t say that the car has become a better runner.”

>> Under which ethical framework is it possible to justify industrial slaughtering of animals?

> The one in which human comfort takes precedence over that of a domesticated species which have been selectively bred over generations to produce meat for consumption. The industrial process is tertiary to the slaughter itself and the economics of meat consumption. You can argue about 'industrialization' of anything -- resource extraction and industrial agriculture at large destroy life on a massive scale.

How is human comfort an "ethical framework"? I'm not sure you understand what ethics are.

So? That doesn't preclude low doses over a long period from causing harm. High doses are used to prove a conclusive link, not establish a lower limit of toxic effects.

> Yet I still eat bacon.

How do you rationalize that? Not many people admit to being aware of the way food animals are treated.

I'm legitimately curious, not trolling.

It's nice looking. And I'm sure it's satisfying doing it. But velcro is better.

Suuuuure

For those confused by the strong reaction above, OP appears to be an AI "artist" along the same lines as the person this article is about.

They didn't interview a single teen in this article? Every single perspective is that of the parents or a psychologist.

I've never seen a stinkhorn that I didn't smell first.

> not having a 220v outlet in the garage will be like not having a microwave

What about the millions of people who live in apartments and rowhouses?

Or mines, as they've proposed in my area.

My first thought while reading the article was that this could be used as a water supply treatment, not necessarily source remediation. Any thoughts on that?

I suppose you could do your own study.

Do you at least get paid for this?

Hahaha! A quick look at his profile shows that isn't remotely true. https://spectrum.ieee.org/u/evan-ackerman

You'll have to make sure you buy conductive footwear.

Why would an artist who wants an opportunity to live somewhere as exciting as NYC want to move to St. Louis? Even if St. Louis did manage to become an artistic hub, what would stop it from going through the usual gentrification cycle and becoming unaffordable to regular people the way Portland, Austin, Oakland (not to mention Bushwick, Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy) have?

Yes, basically the same reason suspension bridges have a deck and don't make you travel up and down the cables.

How about this: That stuff is bad for your heart and you should stop taking it.

Are you ok?
