In my experience trying both, slow-carb was cheaper and more fulfilling than keto, mostly because of beans. Beans are filling, and it's easy to make a big batch of those and eat them throughout the week. They're also dirt cheap, and if you have a pressure cooker you don't have to pre-soak before cooking.
Sub-example for music games: where you look might depend on your level of skill at the game! Beginner DDR players have to look down from time to time to re-center themselves on the dance pad, because they don't know how to feel where they're stepping. Intermediate DDR players need to turn the scroll rate fast enough to read the patterns, but want them slow enough that they have time to read ahead and process the pattern ("is this upcoming pattern a crossover?"). Advanced DDR players have no problem decoding patterns, and are m...
Arguably the only value they provide to society is finding the actual equilibrium price of a PS5. Is that important enough to be "good"?
Sure, they provide value to their customers. But every PS5 that is bought for scalping makes it harder to find a PS5 at the store. They're effectively spending other people's time to save their customers' time. Qualitatively, that sounds like a transfer of value from one group to another -- not a benefit to society overall.
In the end, the same number of people will own a console and get to use it. &...
If numbers could be used but aren't then you are dealing with a taboo subject
Alternatively, the speaker doesn't precisely know, or the specifics are a distinction without consequence. E.g., gjm's example where someone recommends against pursuing a career in theoretical physics "unless you're very smart."
Vague language is bullshit when the vagueness is deliberate with the intention to mislead.
Maybe this could be a subset of "simple" language (vague because complexity is unnecessary), but it's not clear if this was an intent of that category.
I can imagine a community picking one vs two.
E.g., a community of enthusiasts for some niche interest might prefer open, not free, and not safe.
Why? If they're closed, they don't have enough members for their niche. If they're free, the niche will get watered down to more-casual adjacent interests and discussions. The quality of discussion will drop for the main users. And not safe because they'll intentionally have to bully and gatekeep to maintain social norms and high expectations for level of discussion.
I've taught and tutored math, and this concept is very familiar to me.
When tutoring, I will do as much debugging and back-and-forth as I can. Whenever possible, I would prefer to spend the time to really help cultivate understanding rather than just helping someone stumble through the homework.
When teaching, there's a lot of constraints that limit the ability to go back and forth. Not all the students are at the same level, there's a course curriculum that needs to be covered (as much as possible), and there's simply not enough time to d...
Bingo. When people say what they care about, they're treating it as a statement of values. When they say what they prioritize, they say what they're actually doing.
Ideally, people would do things that match their values, or at least be honest about what their values are, but it's a rare person that will say "I don't care about that" to some tragedy, even when they plan to do nothing.
From what I've seen, the more way to publicly "care less" about X instead of Y without it threatening your ego is to say you'...
This is fascinating. I did a few semesters of teaching undergrad math while working towards my math MS, so this was completely downstream of the K-12 education system and I saw none of it. But I did notice a lot of different attitudes towards math that fit with the observations above. In the end, it was hard to teach to students who didn't care, and I much preferred tutoring since I could ask questions and try and really get into the gears of their misunderstanding and replace it with functional gears. Preferring this as often as possible... (read more)
