Ideally cars would be equipped with speed limiters. Then the problem disappears. Until this happens, there are many other solutions like you only start paying fines until you do over some limit (like 12 per year) of such minor infractions.

Hopefully this catches up. It's scary how normalized traffic violence and risking other's life is in our society. If there is one place where AI based automatic enforcement could instantly make life better it's traffic laws e

The paper you linked is based on reasoning like: "high school dropouts are way more likely to be unemployed therefore if we reduce rates of people dropping out of high school there will be more employed ones". That's also a p

Not very surprising. There are incentives to publish, especially surprising stuff (so you can call it ground breaking) and no incentives to be right in a sense that your results align with reality. Imagine spending time to prepare a paper t

It's a pretty big difference! Often 20+% on the benchmarks. I have the previous gen CPU in my ThinkPad and it's the quietest, most pleasant laptop I have ever had. All Intel ones I dealt with are like old fridge in comparison (lou

It's not like sailors spend a lot of time in green spaces though. On serious note: exposure to extreme wind and sun day after day can't be good for your skin.

The opposition to this decision worry me. Do you really want to live in a world where you're forced to create stuff even if you don't want to? Like literally spend a month of your life painting something you don't want to pai

Btw I think private schools should admit whoever they want as long as they don't discriminate by race/gender/religious affiliation/sexuality and other features specified by law. If they want to be a private club for chil

You might say nearly half of white student got a VIP lane but that doesn't mean it's easier to get into Harvard when you are white. In fact if you remove legacy admissions from the pool and calculate the % of admitted people among

Sanity prevailed. The different reads like a political manifesto rather than a legal opinion. You need a mental gymnastics of the highest order to justify racist policies like the ones employed by Harvard. Sometimes people get so deep into

I was about to write a similar post. I think the only way it can work is a distributor paying a fixed price for every user that views the content. This way both big and small players can have access to it and you can even imagine some prici

A Government massaging the data to make the situation look better than it is doesn't qualify as a conspiracy theory. Rather as expected outcome if anything. The point is that the raw data is always the most valuable. Translating it is

Idk why you're being downvoted. It's well documented and obvious fact that SUVs and tracks are lethal to pedestrians and cyclists because of their hostile low visibility design. By choosing to drive those in populated areas you&#x

That's we need regulation. We are slowly approaching "let's drive a tank" territory. SUVs make the world dangerous and scary for people outside of cars: pedestrians, cyclists, other small personal vehicles users. It&#x27

It sounds to me that you're assuming leg up sentiment is in relation to professional musicians while the author is relating to herself: someone very bad at music (maybe because of lack of exposure to it during childhood). I certainly w

You are the one coming to with the race thing. If it was a race the children would be practicing for hours a day. Meanwhile they practice when they feel like it and have fun with sounds and music. >>Just maybe don't be so proud o

So teaching your children native languages of their parents as well as letting them play with sounds when they are young "reeks of status signalling" to you. I mean you gotta be careful these days not to let you kids have fun with

You need consequences for being a moron to avoid having your community being overrun by morons. I don't think you can have that in public anonymous settings at least not for a long time.

The author exposed children to sounds and organized a way for them to play with them using cheap tools. She sang to them for a few minutes a day and then start practicing with the one who showed interest. I really have no idea where the ide

Yeah, the same way there are real drawbacks of being a really good programmer. You are slightly annoyed (or worse!) when you see slightly out of tune code!

The racial grouping is brought up because it's a common claim that Asians (the children are half Asian if it's not clear enough from the text) have (or are born with) AP more often than other races. The author counters that while

I was using RiF myself. Reddit is unusable for me without a 3rd party up as their interface is a clusterfuck. I can't complain, I was spending too much time there anyway and it's easy to cut off now.

Why is it self-evident? If your argument is that people can drive with only vision let me stop you right there and point to the fact that people are terrible drivers and the bill is in millions of injured and dead a year. The main argument

Yeah but we are not discussing if it should be legal to offer gambling games but if casinos deserve protection from people trying to abuse the offered deal. I think offering gambling games as a business should be illegal but as long as it&#
