Trump hasn't been in charge of US military doctrine for the last few decades. Iran has been touted as a threat to Western Civilization and everyone knows that's only because they can mine the strait of Hormuz. That nothing was done to counter that is not Trump's fault.

You can try to blame on Trump that Iran closing the strait is something he should have known would happen, but it's not really the US's problem- the US doesn't get much oil from and the replacement for the bottlenecked oil is going to come from the US.

It extremely is our problem; we can have our own supply of oil, but not our own price.

Isn't that similar to how neighborhood heat pumps work?

Notably, the article is looking at coffee, both caffeinated and decaffeinated. There is a lot more to coffee than just caffeine...

The overwhelming majority of the enjoyable coffee experiences are caffeinated. While there is good decaf out there it's not the norm, specially in smaller markets.

I think they meant that coffee contains a lot of other compounds than just caffeine, which something like energy drinks or teas will not include. So you can't necessarily extend conclusions from a study on consumption of coffee to effects that other drinks that happen to include caffeine might have.

Edit: this is especially relevant here, as the study found similar effects in decaffeinated coffee drinkers. So the effects they observed, if real, are not related to caffeine.

Workplace democracy would work better than democracy does anywhere else?

And, of course, every tech worker already has a vote. As the saying goes: they can vote with their feet.

It's a catchy turn of phrase, but of course a vote and an option to leave aren't the same thing at all.

How is this affecting the replicability crisis?

All around, black days for Science.

In a society where we tend to care for one another, they're very few private acts.

Nice try. In a society where there are not enough private acts to constitute a private self, who's even caring for whom?

Oh, "tending to". (As in actually failing but successfully pretending. Neato!)

It's actually a third party terminal emulator: https://iterm2.com/

Yes. It’s a Mac problem. That’s why Macs do the worst at pwn2own. It’s compounded by the fact that Mac users deny that there are problems in their beloved OS.

cat is a file concatenation utility. UNIX people know to view text files with more.

"Power doesn't corrupt; it reveals."

   -- Robert Caro

It's not the marination in money, it's the loss of constraint that fear brings.

Most of us aren't good people at heart.

“But although the cliche says that power always corrupts, what is seldom said ... is that power always reveals. When a man is climbing, trying to persuade others to give him power, concealment is necessary. ... But as a man obtains more power, camouflage becomes less necessary.” — https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1127738-but-although-the-cl...

> Most of us aren't good people at heart.

“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956 https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/450864-the-line-separating-...

Those people live in a museum-- Rome would be nearly empty if not for the tourist attractions, as it was for so many centuries.

You are getting downvoted, but Rome is nothing but a museum. It would be empty if not for the tourist attractions.

Of course elevated trains are not good for tourism. Not unless you're Elwood Blues and can get used to the noise.
