This might be a dumb question, since my understanding is limited to the article, but here goes. Let's say we have the situation in the diagram, we have a two policy options, "A" and "B", and we're betting on &q

The phrase "walk around on donuts" has one Google result and it's this thread.

I doubt anyone at Facebook is freaking out about Mastodon and setting out to censor all mention of it. It's probably just a keyword or link that tends to co-appear with other, actually rule-breaking content, and some automated system

The law only applies to sites with 50M active users, so I think all the Gab-clones are safe!

But won't there also be a legal contract in the NFT case, defining who is allowed to live in the house, what their obligations are, and under what circumstances they can be evicted?

It certainly don't demonstrate that the value of bitcoin is similarly baseless, it just suggests that the contrapositive - the idea the high value of bitcoin shows that bitcoin is useful - is not a solid argument.

Sure, but if I'm worried about a "corrupt Louisiana rural parish", it doesn't seem like an NFT shields me much. I can get relief by taking my case to a higher court, but that's the same thing I can do with a regula

>No more worrying about local judges interfering with foreclosures. What stops the judge from just saying "this smart contract is unenforceable, the NFT doesn't decide who owns the house"?

I think the previous poster's point is that if an NFT is useless but is still worth a boatload of money, shouldn't that make us skeptical of the fact that a Bitcoin is worth a boatload of money also? Like perhaps Bitcoin's v

I think the law is built as sort of a convoluted legal Rube Goldberg machine to sneak around existing case law about abortions, so all of these weird constructions are to avoid doing something that's already been ruled unconstitutional

I'd imagine Google's position is that no one ever searches for this in earnest, and so it doesn't really matter what the answer given is. They want to maximize what percentage of actual searches give a correct answer, rath

I think it does mean that the virus spreads slower (although the exact amount will also depend on factors like how vaccinated people are distributed among the population). Whereas in an unvaccinated population, each infected person might s

I don't really see how the level of immunity could be low enough in June to allow rapid growth, and then suddenly be high enough in mid-July to cause rapid decline. Wouldn't we expect a population close to herd immunity to see sl

Honestly if you can't adjust the doneness of the toast with a little slider, is it really Flying Toasters?

But as I said, these are not comparable quantities. 99.9% is the percentage of previously-infected people in Israel who were re-infected. This 99% is the percentage of infections which are reinfections. It's a totally different numbe

This is not a good way to go about making a comparison. First, hospitalized patients are a very different demographic than the population at large - you can't just hand-wave that away by saying that vaccination probably balances that o

>Or to put it another way, more vaccinated people in Israel tested positive for COVID just yesterday than all of the reinfections combined (~2K versus ~700). Israel reported about 2K total positives yesterday. Are you trying to tell me

by Imnimo 5y ago
These are not comparable quantities. The 99.9% is simply not an effectiveness rate, it's simply a raw calculation of how many recovered people were not reinfected over a time period. To convert that to an effectiveness rate, you woul

Those conditions don't overwhelm hospital capacity because they don't produce exponential growth of illness, so I don't think you could make the same argument.

I played this game for years. It's essentially how I learned to touch-type. I definitely recommend checking it out if you've never played a MUD before.

Yeah, I strongly considered that last time it happened. Eventually I was able to fix it by restarting a few processes related to the touchbar, and decided to leave well enough alone for fear of breaking something else. I think if it start

Sometimes my work-issued Macbook decides that it no longer wants to display an escape key on the touch bar (and there is no physical escape key). People joke about not knowing how to exit vi, but it turns out the game is even harder when y

Okay but they're talking about a difference of a few percentage points, and the survey collected a lot of other demographic information. It strikes me as very unlikely that this is statistically significant. If you check every demogr
