Not true on food.[1] CPI for food has fallen off a cliff in the last year+ compared to core CPI (ex food and energy). It is even negative currently, so yes food prices are decreasing. It seems to have been moderately lower on net since the

Because admitting that Snowden was a whistleblower or a patriot would imply that they had not been doing their jobs as overseers. It would also potentially limit the power of the intelligence apparatus, which would in turn limit the power o

It's mostly because (to my knowledge) we don't currently know of any ways in which quantum computing will make artificial intelligence faster or more feasible. If you read up on the relationship between quantum and classical compl

In gaming, they call this "humane design," techniques like giving players an obvious place to take a break. By contrast, things like the infinitely-scrolling news feed and the autoplay video queue are grossly inhumane; they serve

It doesn't matter whether a tax is progressive or regressive on its own. What matters is its place in the overall system of taxes and transfers. You can have a progressive wealth redistribution system based mostly on regressive taxes (

Principle of charity, give the person a break. Obviously people are going to think about that before enacting a carbon tax. Funnel some of that money into offsetting transfers to low income households and you're all set. Don't let

If you are a member of a disadvantaged group, you often do not have the ability to identify as a professional first and a group member second. That is the effect of being disadvantaged. Other people will make your life seem primarily about

Yes, it is. Ignore these other people. Darjeeling in particular has a subtle sweet white grape flavor that you will taste if it is real. Not all teas have a distinct terroir but Darjeeling in particular definitely does.

Lots of them [1]. Anything you buy at the store labeled "organic" could involve any of these substances, among others. In addition, because organic pesticides are less effective per unit, much more is applied to get the same benef

There is no commercially grown GMO wheat. I have no idea where you heard this nonsense. And within different non-modified wheat varieties, gluten content varies greatly. Ex. Hard, red winter wheat has more gluten and is often used as bread

No one is talking about physics, these students are obviously not studying physics. They're talking about "theory:" rhetorical, social, economic (not the empirical kind), historical, etc. Liberal arts stuff.

At the same time, Wright is obviously a chimp himself. I doubt I know anyone with any combinatorics knowledge who would describe it as "a process," mistake permutations for subsets, and then cite Lovasz to define binomial coeffici
