Your attitude is why we can't have nice things. The solutions is to close the loopholes, not throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Because the rich that arent losing their wealth are getting richer at ridiculous rates? And where is that money coming from?

Educations are relative. Sure the inner city US education is good compared to Nigeria, but they arent going to be competing with Nigerians for college admissions and jobs. They will be competing with other Americans who got vastly superior

You think the people gaining the wealth that some rich families are losing are people that need high economic mobility and not just other rich people?

I'm in the US, and here very very few jobs have even 1 of those things you listed here. What proportion of the world has those things? Like 7-8 countries total? Edit: I guess I need to stop commenting at this hour, HN is ridiculous wit

A common anecdote from Kant. Im not Kantian but I think (feel) that he is somewhat right that the lie IS wrong. I think the key is that no one can be perfect, and sometimes you have to make a decision between two things that are wrong. In t

Thank you so much for this post. I was going to have to self discover a lot of this information for an upcoming project, and now its laid right before me. Merry Christmas!!

I guess I never understood placebo trials in a lot of medical situations. Like what we are discussing here, a "revolutionary cancer drug", why even bother letting people die giving them placebos? Its cancer. Its not like you can p

Yeah, telling someone to believe in themselves instead of higher dimensional beings is such a terrible thing.

If you're reading this don't take this advice, its really bad. Unless you don't believe in anything, you have to believe in something. If you can't believe in yourself, mythical beings isn't a terrible place to star

I ignore so many of these nonsensical articles on here, but this one really got my goat. Is there someone out there that works on "projects" where the goals of the project are not delivering milestones? I'm probably just lost

Except the thing that got everyone riled up is common sense activities like wearing masks and getting vaccinated. Where were those people at when bush was taking away their civil liberties? Waving their flags. I can at least get behind the

I like how your first thing when complaining about a non-Mac laptop is a complaint about the keyboard. Oh, you sweet summer child :)

That's not what I'm doing but it seems possible you could watch refraction patterns and tell that there are submerged objects, but you'd need to know the water depth without that object there, as there'd be no great way

Its coastal physics work, you can infer near shore conditions by watching wave propagation.

Exactly! I'm working on some stuff now to exploit this very effect, the small time difference in the bands can be used to find velocities of moving objects.

Oh you mean apple didn't bend over for China when it involved not giving up their source code but when it didn't involve them losing their IP they did it easily? Great job Apple, stand up move that I can trust.

Try: Paperswithcode.com If its not there I won't use it! If you dont provide code with your paper it better have a really useful concept in it otherwise not citation. Which beckons to the problem in the article where most important inf

Advanced pattern matching is called science and has been how humans have made progress by taking data and writing down models for them. Now computers do it. End to end algorithms are 'black box' but machine learning in general is

This has been a huge advantage of the WFH culture lately. I can just keep working while I listen to other people update the manager.

I'm sure you already know this, but I used to use sublime text and moved to an IDE because of the debugging features. Sublime text and a terminal is great for simple problems, but you'll cost yourself a lot of time doing print sta

You should do it, but contact your advisor first. I know I'd like to upload my old masters thesis online, but the university retains a copyright on it. Its possible yours does to. I'm sure the information on that would be availabl

Of course. But the point is that 5k is FAR too low. The difference between stealing 5k and 50m is far greater than the difference between stealing $200 and $5001. Now read all my comments with this in mind and maybe you'll get what we&

This depends on where you live. In rural areas, and dying towns (most of america geographically), land prices have stayed about the same over the last decade or so. However, materials and labor have increased a lot. So there are certainly s

??? The law has the same penalty for any crime over 5k, its literally the parent comment I am replying to.

by amcoastal 5y ago
Because a rich person can steal 50m and get penalized the same way someone like us would when stealing a paltry sum. Though my comment also implies the rich can easily drag out their court case and afford an army of representation so they d

I feel like everyone knows why the line is drawn at such a value. So people like us can't afford to commit crimes, but the rich can.

Many people who have cats (not all, but many) have ample places for their cat to run around in, and some will even let their cats outdoors. I'm fairly certain the proportion of people who let their cats be "Free Range" is muc
