Suppose we have two hypotheses: 1) The likelihood of extreme rain events hasn't changed over the last hundred years. This recent extreme rain event was just a four sigma event. Such outliers sometimes happen. 2) The likelihood of extre

It’s important that we incent what we actually want. As it stands the science is often done in universities funded by federal grants. The monopoly owner—which is allowed to capture much of the value—is responsible for the drug testing proce

The newcomers themselves and their parents by and large contributed to other parts of the country. You, as a citizen of the US, are allowed to move there and take advantage of that infrastructure. The fundamental unit of analysis is the nat

The LIRR is more expensive but it may be worth it. You still have to get from Penn to Soho but at least you have line options.

Once all the Germans were war-like and mean. But that couldn’t happen again. We taught them a lesson in 1918 and they’ve hardly bothered us since then!

At one point in Anglo-American legal history it was possible to bring a private prosecution. Although on the balance it is probably for the best that doesn’t exist anymore in general, perhaps it out to be revived for cases of public miscond

There's a couple of different issues: 1) What does your contract with Strip and/or your customers say? If you personally guarantee something then you are going to be on the hook. 2) Piercing the corporate veil. Although normally a

How many people have they killed this year? Just two days Dorothy Bruns in Park Slope ran through a red light, killed a four year old and a one year old. A pregnant woman is still in critical condition. She hasn't been arrested. Maybe

Frankly, I’m still salty that the commuter tax was done away with by the corrupt Sheldon Silver. If the only thing that NJites have pay for is the Met they are getting off very easy. A similar argument can be made for the rest of the countr

I don't have a problem with the general concept. Tourists spend a lot of money coming to visit NYC in no small part because of attractions like the Met. Why should the airlines, hotels, restaurants, bars and so on get some of that but

But you aren't getting details of the hardware at the very architectural level as they exist today even with c. Even with asm. You are getting the details of an abstract model of a computer that is long, long since gone if it ever full

A little off topic, but I recently found out that you essentially can't buy plain old legos+ anymore. I wanted to buy some as a gift and I ended up having to buy knock offs because the lego company effectively doesn't sell them an
