As a non-Tesla EV owner, I would happily pay surcharges for charging on Tesla's network if it meant I could reliably use my vehicle on extended trips out of town. Tesla charging network has a very good reputation for reliability, which

The problem is that the "competition" aspect assumes low barriers to entry. We're not talking about the corner diner or a bank or even a large insurance company. There's very little substitute for what Boeing does, and t

I have mild tinnitus in one ear, and also mild/moderate hearing loss in the same ear. The way my ENT explained it, it's like the nervous system trying to compensate for lack of stiumlation. I've noticed when I wear my hearin

The police are at fault for psychologically manipulating him into believing something that didn't happen.

The difference between PUT and PATCH, at least in convention, is that PUT tends to assume you are providing the entire object of whatever it is you're updating, and PATCH will accept a partial object and combine it with whatever's

A lot of people buy products because of the branding. How many people would buy a YETI cooler if or a Coach bag if it didn't have the branding to show off that they have a YETI cooler or a Coach bag? It's conspicuous consumption

No. Moderation is about allowing objectionable content at all (or at the very least putting up roadblocks to passive consumption). It's different from allowing objectionable content, letting users seek it out but not promoting it. And

This isn't a question of moderation. It's about recommendation.

Sotomayor and Thomas have both expressed disdain for qualified immunity. I think if the right case came before them we might see those protections narrowed.

I don't know that they're specifically friendly to police. If anything, they lately seem to be inclined to rein in what they view as government overreach. I would not be surprised at all to see them uphold this decision.

I don't think it's feasible to address individual users. I think a good place to start is treating the falsification of data in research studies like fraud, potentially with criminal penalties. Another avenue is requiring social m

The thing about standards is they are able to be re-evaluated from time to time. I think it's worth examining what legitimate purpose spreading health misinformation serves, and how that is beneficial to society.

You think AI chatbots are bad with facts, you should see the cops! Honestly I don't think this will be any worse than police filing hand-written reports rife with their own biases and material omissions and sometimes even outright, int

Also, financial. Interest rates play a huge part in both the supply and demand for housing.

Are you equating inflation with theft? Low, stable inflation is a natural phenomenon in a growing economy, largely a function of market forces.

Food and energy are sometimes excluded because they are more volatile and susceptible to supply shocks that don't reflect underlying inflation.

This is the annual inflation rate. Annualized inflation of 2-3% is generally considered a modest, stable rate by economists.

The real benefit is probably not in particle physics, but all the advances we'd need in rocketry and materials science to make it happen.

Roughly equivalent to the rise in sea level because of displacement from offshore oil drilling platforms and wind turbines. Which is to say, immeasurable.

Counterpoint: Ledecky has never had anybody even close to her level in the 1500 and she has broken her own WR half a dozen times. I think good competition can help, but that effect is likely far less than pool conditions.

Additionally, anybody good enough to be prevented from setting a world record because of this pool will undoubtedly have multiple chances in other competitions with faster pools.

If you're in a large corporation, it might not be that easy. I've been at multiple companies that have left AWS due to the fact that Amazon has in other lines of business been a competitor. So we're locked in for reasons that

I mean, you could say the same thing about art. What value does art provide? We don't need it for survival. Art and sport are things that make the human experience the human experience. That is their value. They exist and are important

Nobody who lived during the Cold War would say that solo Olympic sports weren't part of a team sport, the team being your nation. A solo gold medal in one of the premier events (100m dash, gymnastics all-around, figure skating) was jus

A lot of it is just identity. They vote for Republicans because they are Republicans. It's that simple. You could introduce a moderate Democrat that ticks a lot of Republican policy boxes, and most Republicans still wouldn't vote

There's no reason this couldn't happen. States have great latitude to determine their own election laws, including how they allocate electoral votes or elect federal offices. Nebraska and Maine can split their electoral votes. Geo
