I wasn’t praising it. That was just a list of metrics, which are currently mixed.

Are condos really the best form of housing? I’d guess apartments were better, in as much as the build cost is similar, but the resident has far more flexibility. Owning a condo when the building hits ~50 years old or so is problematic bec

Depends on the ownership structure. A lot of large apartment buildings are single-owner/single-management with all units rented. Usually some sort of corporate owner. Condo buildings might have id rentals offered by individual owners.

Art is art. If you want science or a documentary, then yes, it would be better to have raw imagines. Fair points above. A few related thoughts, in no particular order... - I hate that modern male leads are all built like Greek gods. Think

Yes, the model used in this study only detects a single type of edit (Adobe's FAL tool). There are likely other edits applied outside the scope of this study. And, yeah, it's sad that two unarguably beautiful women aren't sui

The economy sucks Based on what metrics? Unemployment in the US is low. Wages have gone up. Inflation is up as well. Companies are mostly profitable (despite layoffs). At worst, we're seeing some mixed signals, and might be heading

I agree wholeheartedly. Education for education's sake seems to have gone the way of the dodo bird. That's a sad state of affairs.

And that's at Harvard! Wow. "The Scarlet Latter" was an 11th grade book for me. I remember it being a typical difficulty level as other pre-20th century literature - reading and understanding it was work, but not unusually so

US military spending exceeds the next 10 nations COMBINED. Of those 10, half are allies (UK, France, Germany, SK, Japan). Surely, we could cut 20%, still outspend our rivals (China, Russia, India) by >30%, and be ok?

Yeah. The question is do we change FERPA (add notification requirements and penalties) OR do we remove the exemption that places education-related medical records under FERPA (and let that info fall under HIPAA, where it should have been al

one funny thing is almost everyone has to learn square dancing That's very regional. I don't recall square dancing was ever an option where I grew up.

My high schools first period started around 7:20. Not as bad a 6, but still too early IMO.

Correct. I used to coach youth sports. There were waivers and “scholarships” available. Equipment was provided by the club (this was football and basketball). Coaches and other parents did the transport.

At the same time, the kids in my neighborhood are bused to school. The school is a mile away with zero road crossings (one short pedestrian tunnel). The rest is walking paths. Parents and kids sit in the idling cars at the edge of the neig

Maybe, except it’s a regressive tax. They don’t call HOV/toll lanes “Lexus Lanes” for nothing.

The study apparently used some flavor of IQ test, which already makes assumptions about what “smart” means. And is who “really smart then”? I knew plenty of people in college who were of similar general IQ as me but chose career paths speci

I feel like I'm a reasonably strong guy and throwing the giant ball for a night kills my arm every time, never mind that it's impossible to actually aim it. You’re supposed to roll the ball, not throw it! Kidding aside, it’s all

Yeah, just not used in the US. All we have is giant custom things that cost a fortune.

Autopilot is 6-7x safer than driving without it Citation? The only thing remotely close I've seen was comparing apples and orange (Autopilot, mostly highway VS all miles without Autopilot).

Does anybody know what post-processing is applied to ProRaw images from iOS? I'm guessing true raw (Halide, etc) have none at all, but I recall reading the ProRaw had some applied. I just haven't seen a summary of which steps ar

On the US side, you get "turned away" (or at least taken for additional questions) at security screening. It happened to Ted Kennedy years ago (apparently, some criminal/terrorist once used "T Kennedy" as an alias,

Apple didn't hire excessively last year. During the pandemic, Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon all had double-digit % employee growth. Apple did not - their growth was typical of previous years at Apple. https://www.cnbc.com&#x2

Is that junior doctor fully credentialed, or wrapping up specialization? In the US, a resident will earn somewhere in the $50k-$80k range, depending on specialty. Once out of residency, the average junior salary jumps up to somewhere north

I’d posit that women still care about money. But, they don’t need a man’s income to support themselves. They are generating their own income. And parallel/related, the social pressure to marry and settle down is less than ever.

If your referring to CRT or some sort of homosexual brainwashing, I’ve yet to see any evidence either is an actual problem.

How many teachers have been prosecuted for said felony It’s a new law, and AFAIK no teachers have been charged yet. Not sure why that should ease teachers’ fears.

Florida made it a felony to share books that weren’t approved. As a teacher, it makes sense to remove books instead of risk prosecution. This isn’t the school libraries, this is books individual teachers keep in the classroom.
