Buyers remorse after purchasing pornography? I don't know why you're surprised.

I always think about how different NYC would be if you could swim in the Hudson and East river. Pollution robs us of so much

This is far from the first company to try to tackle AI radiology, or even AI x-ray radiology. It's not even the first company to have a model that works on par or better than radiologists. I'm curious how they solve the commercial

You're assuming that startups are more innovative than large companies, but this is only true because the market is not efficient. An "efficient" enterprise would perfectly invest in innovation.

It's a fun conspiracy that both co-defendants died within a day or two of eachother, but how the hell would the conspirators have sank a yacht this way? "It sank quickly after being hit by a waterspout at 4:30 a.m. during a storm

This is backwards. Higher rate per person means it is literally more likely to happen to you. High rate per area but low rate per person means I guess that you're more likely to be a witness. Low rate per area but high rate per person

This doesnt make sense. You care about "per population" because you are 1 out of the population. You don't care about per square mile because you are not measured in square miles, you are measured in people (1).

You're right of course, but it's sort of meaningless. I live in Germany where there isn't nearly as much gun crime, but Musk isn't about to move Twitter to Germany.

No, my point was that you would also want to factor in injury rates from commuting, which tend to dwarf crime rates.

My first week working in a finance firm in midtown Manhattan there was a significant shooting. These things happen everywhere (edit: in the US) unfortunately. I'm not convinced that a more suburban location that forces people to drive

I'm really curious if there has been a comprehensive study on incentive corporate tax breaks like these. It has become my understanding that these are rarely worth it. Reminds me on this very interesting video on the subject focusing o

Is this year by year? I’ve heard that we use something like half of our lifetime healthcare spending in our last years life. Which explains the numbers in the headline, but also shows why it’s misleading.

That's not relevant here though, because their function is continuous and they're fitting to an arbitrary shape. It's not a "perfect science," so there would be wiggle room.

Genuinely curious— how would you prefer to fund maintenance for roads and other infrastructure?

Due to the antagonistic nature of NYC vs State politics, I could see this never being restarted.

Maybe they charge a few engineers or low-level managers. I doubt anyone C-suite is going to prison.

I’m all for eminent domain when it comes to providing infrastructure, but I feel icky about it being used just to hopefully profit. Reminds me too much of Kelo v. New London

It's always possible to model a system on a computer, the question is what assumptions you take. We don't have a perfect model of human behavior or even much consensus on how humans behave, so your assumptions are going to drive y

I don't buy the analysis on 1). Leetcode interviews restrict the pool of SWEs. You have a lot of SWEs who fail to qualify any more, but the few that do are more coveted and get to command higher wages

I don't think so. It seems more like a story of corporate blundering. They shipped an incredibly popular game that was a breakout hit. 6 months later, changed the requirements (for no reason other than shortsighted greed) such that peo

Why do you say it should be rewarded? If anything, it should just stop being punished.

They're a modern news site so I agree with you that fake or sloppy news is a problem, however this example is that they interviewed someone who made an inflammatory claim, and then the next day removed the claims when it came out that
