Eugenics is definitely a loaded term. It denotes good genes and of course everyone wants that. On the other hand it connotes a bunch of ugliness like culling persons with undesirable traits. Everyone practices eugenics in the denotational s

It's not like these needs can't be anticipated. The wiring problem can be solved by running conduit, or at least making fishing easy. As for the heating, the basic problem of pushing around hot air or hot water just isn't goi

I’ve heard three main arguments in favor of using Go. First, that it has a standard library that is world class for building a worldwide ads serving network. If your use case is that or something that’s technically similar, then it’s great.

I'm not sure of the current state of pedagogy, but when I was studying mathematics at the primary and secondary school levels the formalists were ascendant and geometry was an afterthought at best. It wasn't until AP Calculus that

Yes it does, all of the grantees that I'm familiar with are doing really cool stuff, so I expect the ones I'm not familiar with are too.

When I first got online the average user’s IQ was no joke north of 120. Now of course it’s around 100. Someone needs to come up with a pithy term for how a subpopulation’s average value for any attribute approaches the population’s average

Has any real lawyer got any idea whether the unity license update is unconscionable? I have this vague notion that the bar is lower for contracts of adhesion.

I wonder if an ethical collector was viewing to buy and said something like “the only way it’s leaving here with you is with the police. Are you staying or leaving it?”

To be fair deoxyephedrine and the other amphetamines also work really well as decongestants. Pseudoephedrine doesn't produce as pronounced a "high," but it definitely is noticeably psychoactive. It doesn't just clear up

This is also the common pattern for using Prolog in Common Lisp. It goes back to the first generation AI days back in the 70s. Peter Norvig's Lisp AI book has a nice rundown.

I remember my high school AP Psychology teacher mocking p=0.05 as practically meaningless. In retrospect it's funny for a psychologist to say that, but I guess it was because he was from the more empirically minded behaviorist cognitiv

I can assure you that the Chinese strategists are. Wang Huning is way to smart not to have and he's just one that's somehow famous enough to be known in the West. I'm sure there are many more strategists of if not equal at le

Accessibility is one obvious counter-example of where a specific UX “kind of sucking” can in fact be a humanitarian crisis, albeit one that disproportionately affects disabled persons. Fortunately we have laws on the books for that and peop
