If you accept the idea that a penchant for math is randomly distributed among all people, then the odds of 55/56 men winning by chance are very, very, very low.

Maybe more specifically, the value of all these networks lies in the network part. The tricky part is convincing the people that will use it to become part of the product.

How much of this was "simulatable" -- either by Cadence or Magic? What's the average number of tries to get something right? How'd you end up in this business?

Between the effectiveness of chlorine and the simplicity of a pump, there's just no way I'm going to save ~8oz for the risk of explosive diarrhea. Having both diarrhea and having to walk back t the trail head to get help would be

One of the challenges with global warming is the gloal effect. If you poison you own well, you better believe that the repercussion cycle is very quick. If you're dumping CO2 into the air like no tomorrow, there are no repercussions

Not only that, but certain fertilizers (like phosphorus) are in limited supply. The fact the US effectively subsidizes the dumping of these valuable micronutrients is baffling. http://web.mit.edu/12.000/www/m2016&#

As an undergrad, what's honestly needed is a variety of pace. I don't mind sprinting through a topic, but I can't do it for a whole class all semester. Students become complacent if you slow down permanently, but also fail to

I'm amazed they sell all that info for just $150,000. I figure there's around ~125 major automakers in the world, maybe a dozen or two or so big enough to own their own labs. For each 23,000 page document, we're only taking ~

Interesting article (also something of a condensed version of his book, The Case against Education), and a couple of counterpoints. Caplan is making several seemingly-logical assumptions that most readers will miss. I will say that at least

NYT has a great writeup on the East Side Access tunnel. In short, the costs work out to 3.5bn/mile (!), there's ~200 "ghost" workers, and the usual spot of corruption and favoritism. It's a mess, and the MTA is defe

It's "just five years" compared to the "lifetime of servitude" connotation of slavery. Is slavery an awful, despicable thing that no one should ever endure? Of course. But 5 years is significantly shorter than a lif

I don't include pleasure in my list of objective positive things. "What I enjoy and what you enjoy are probably different sets." is relevant insofar as pleasure is subjective, which is the opposite of objective. When I wrot

Easily, although maybe I should clarify. I probably should have written "objectively positive". People's enjoyment is entirely subjective. What I enjoy and what you enjoy are probably different sets.

I have an intense personal dislike of smoking. If more people are really moving off them, all the better. From the intrusion on others (second hand smoke) to the cancer, to the litter, there is absolutely nothing positive about cigarettes.

Some of Trump's advisers are not to be underestimated. Their brilliance is in using Trump -- who has off the charts emotional intelligence -- as a president. They frame the issues, he taunts and captivates the press. I would point to t

The bit on a moving license was interesting. One one hand, I'm sure there's a decent (if opaque) rationale behind it, whatever it is. On the other hand, it was clearly a burdensome and annoying regulation to jump through, although

I think the pitch is that they can be 99.999% sure their vehicle won't kill anyone, vs Tesla being 99.99% sure. If you have enough vehicles on the road, that .009% could translate into quite a few affected drivers. Geofencing constrain
