So there are 7 cameras that are better. There are only 6 flagship phones of any merit (Apple, Xiomi, Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, Google), so 8th place puts it behind the last generation Pixel phone. Seriously, while the iPhone is a superior to t

Universal prohibition (18th amendment) predates universal suffrage (19th amendment) by a few years, but the two movements had a lot of overlap, and women did widely support the idea and were used to motivate the concept. That said the two a

The majority of voters were homeowners back then. It was created and passed to benefit homeowners and preserve existing communities. But the bigger issue is that there was a flavor of magical thinking among conservatives that cutting taxes

I’ve seen people point to prop 13 as a cause of the budget deficits. Not sure how much any of this goes beyond hearsay, but it is much harder to run a deficit when your tax base is decentralized and fixed. The core idea of prop 13 was to cu

It is clear choice between bad alternatives. Unless you realistically think we’re going to make cash transfers a thing then this boils down to “better above ground in the rain than below in the dirt”.

Asking someone to beta test your product is more like asking them for a favor than the other way around. Finding a sympathetic person to try out your stuff and provide intelligent, relevant feedback in a timely fashion is not that easy.

This feels like an attempt to cash in on modern western antipathy to Russia to win an argument. I would not call Russia especially homogenous, especially dangerous or especially poor. It has modest crime that is relatively low for its incom

I've seen comments like this in a number of places and I'm sure the high degree of social cohesion is a big factor but I think that this list is perhaps too narrow. I would also add that the high degree of social cohesion is suppo

The arguments here feels like they would apply to pre-industrial civilization but I would suspect that the artifacts of modern civilization are pretty glaring in the fossil record. The layer of lead on the surface is not going to go away an

In theory maybe, but all the best designers I know concern themselves with the small details, while the ones who grandstand about information architecture and 'big picture' thinking frequently make glaring mistakes. On the subject

The interpretation is never so simple. I'm not sure what that guy at Stanford was trying to prove but his research conclusively proved that tenured psych professors at leading universities can be wildly unethical. This discovery helped

As mentioned in my post, the 14th amendment does not cover wealth, property or familial relationship as protected classes. This is not an issue for the courts. It would require a separate law.

It might bite some influential people, but this is a generally popular move. I have never met anyone defend this use of my tax dollars. Would you care to be the first to explain why I am paying for the children of well connected parents to

Plenty of Harvard students take out federal loans to attend. Plenty of professors accept federal grants for their research. While a few alumni donors might give a large amount of cash, the school also likes to brag that 1/6 students re

While this issue this is clearly beyond the scope of the 14th ammendment, I suspect most Americans would strongly support legislation to ban the use of family relations in university admission decisions where public funds are in play.

Strong disagree. These are straw man arguments about the limitations of models. Senior executives, politicians and people in high leadership positions can see their wildest dreams realized using little more than natural language and discuss

Antisemitism is intimately related to the question of who is Jewish, and there is no consensus on this question within the various communities involved. Some forms of antisemitism are explicitly racial but a lot of criticism falls along eth

No. It got bleak during the pandemic, but it has bounced back nicely. The real estate and hospitality sectors took major haircuts after a long run of unbounded exuberance and they want everyone to know that it is somebody’s fault. The city

Possibly. FAIR has always been doing great work and making it public though (PyTorch is so big that we forget about it sometimes). Sadly 'we sell ads' is going to remain the case unless product people ask users to pony up some cas

A browser is much more than a rendering engine. Support for new features like openXR is something that iOS users are not allowed to choose.

I was once at a start up where management decided that progress was inadequate. In truth progress was inadequate, but it was a hard science problem so the amount of work done is not necessarily the main factor here. They insisted that every

I get that paying for stuff is a pain but apps are a business and there are a ton of expenses involved with any business (a websites, databases, cloud hosting are also not free). Having app reviews done by a human is fundamentally expensive

I'm not sure about the exact numbers on this one, but cutting the corporate tax rate in half is certainly a big stimulus that goes straight into the bottom line.

Inflation is much more complicated than the basics they teach you in the first two years of university Econ. We have a set of broad stroke theories that apply on a macro level in various circumstances. These theories often contradict one an

The UI mangler is probably a “high performer” who is great at slideware engineering. This is their second round of layoffs and I would suggest not kicking the folks who are down today.

The title here is a bit misleading. The article's actual headline is: "NFLPA owed $41.8M in licensing and marketing payments from affiliate following crypto collapse" which is a more accurate description of what is happening.

Better than nothing but this is still a clear screw job for the employee. Ideally it would be 100% of their wage at a market rate - not the rate set by the previous company. Most people get a pay bump when changing jobs, so the previous rat
