I would have a different interpretation. If he cheated once, he has most likely done it before and since the competition in question. Usually when 'good people' cheat there is a series of escalating transgressions before they get

No this isn’t it. Deinstitutionalisation is a worldwide trend. It’s the lack of mental healthcare itself that is the problem. There isn’t a good reason why it should be this way in a wealthy country. It amounts to saying ‘Let the people tha

Many people in academia do all this and more for much less pay and job security. Some of them invent the math you get paid 3 times as much (at least) to apply. I guess they fall into the dumb-ass category of your binary classification of ev

The only question is whether the value is > 0. If so, then Clearview are vulnerable to legal challenge. The final step of identifying people involves actual individual photos, and these photos are displayed to the police officer. It is n

I think this analogy isn’t very illuminating. In the case of Clearview the photo is the product. For public place photos, the photographer has rights to the photo. Anyway, most of the photos on social media are not these public place photos

If Clearview profits from having your photo in their database, don’t you deserve compensation?

That’s correct, we should ban the ability to profit from selling harmful products. The swimming pool analogy is completely off base. You are supposing that prohibition won’t work. But it is the easiest and cheapest approach. All the problem

I don’t see your point. I argue vaping should be banned. All those other things you list are already in widespread use, it’s irrelevant.

Why should the FDA use up government resources to regulate vaping? Put another way, why do we think the solution for people with no integrity or no clue or both trying to make money out of vaping (Juul included) is to spend taxpayers money

Well I don’t think it is one or the other. Fuel reduction is important, but it doesn’t seem sufficient. My understanding is that controlled burning had been done close to the prescribed cap.

It isn’t clear that forest management would prevent bushfires. The consensus amongst the experts and royal commissions seems to be that there is no effective prevention. There are harm minimisation strategies, but that would largely involve

I notice that this story and the story about Carlos Ghosn's escape from Japan are both on the front page of HN. Lucky for Ghosn, the rest of the world is less successful at returning Japan's lost property.

The injury rates amongst amateur sports are actually pretty high... pro athletes spend a lot of time training to avoid injury which we don’t necessarily hear about. I’ve seen some of the off-season training programs, and they are highly sop

I don’t quite get what you are saying. Consciousness must be real, in fact some people make the point it is the only thing we can be sure is real. How can you hold a belief without consciousness?

Interesting idea. I have noticed that after I buy something I start seeing ads for the exact item, which I have never seen before. These aren’t things you buy more than once. I always thought it was pretty dumb if you are serving ads for so

Well I think the tricky thing about consciousness is that it can’t be an illusion. There is no doubt that you and I have the subjective experience of consciousness. Whether it is an illusion or not doesn’t really matter, you are just making

I'm sorry, that's a terrible story. I am not a fan of Prasad. I find him querulous and condescending, but the main reason is that I have seen him give talks, rant on his podcast and tweet about clinical trials in a way that is des

I only know anything about one of the authors of this (Prasad). The history leading up to this article is relevant. His modus operandi is to severely criticise clinical trials to an audience that is only peripherally or not at all involved

The standard macroeconomic approach is to keep inflation low so that wages will ‘catch up’ to costs. This isn’t working though, low wages seem to be sticky. This implies that there aren’t enough new jobs, and there are plenty of people who

Putting obviously unprofessional behaviour aside, there are good reasons why they have this attitude, although it is disappointing. First of all, as we all know, passwords are actually not a good solution to the problem of authentication. S

I'm not sure how to reply to your comment. I know a lot of doctors personally, and less than 1% are what I would describe as very arrogant. Some specialties probably enrich for arrogant people, particularly cardiothoracics, cardiology

There are clearly targeted phishing attempts, I wouldn’t rule it out. Edit: I should add, I was very surprised when I got a phishing email sent by the obviously compromised email account of a colleague, and when I emailed them to say their
