Has anybody done the analysis to determine if this is something that can, in practice, be relied on?
It wasn't for what was said, but for how it was said, which is why you can say all sorts of heinous stuff on here as long as you're couth about it.
When was it otherwise?
The original claim was: > in high trust societies, armed people are very polite people
In my experience, there was no connection between being armed and being polite.
> Or just visit your local gun range
Went to one many times when I lived in Texas, I think I've inhaled enough lead to last me the rest of my life.
"An armed society is a polite society" was originally said by Heinlein, who for all his faults would have had something to say about outsourcing your thinking to a machine.
That's a big presumption.
This is extremely not the case.
Surely you could name three such societies?
This is hacker news, most of us are anonymous. People say all sorts of vile things on here. Come on, Ambolia, have the courage of your convictions.
I don't think this has ever, as a rule, been true.
Megakaryocytes are primarily bone marrow cells.
Pick a directory for them and ignore the directory. Other team members who want to keep their own notes can use that directory as well.
It certainly does not.
A never-zero RNG is something one should know about, so that it can be mitigated if necessary, but it's not inherently a dealbreaker.
The supplemental information is available and says: > Our earthquake catalog consists primarily of small events with magnitudes of < 2.0 and there were 1399 of them.
The cited Ren&al says: > The magnitudes of these seismic events primarily range from 1.5 to 2.5 and that there were 647 of them.
USGS (https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/earthquake-and-energy-comp...) says that a magnitude 2.0 earthquake is the equivalent energy of 56kg of explosives, which is more than I'd want to be around but I think for people who actually use the stuff it's not a lot.
