Isn't the 34 counts due to the fact that the trial concluded that Trump paid Daniels via Cohen but hidden the payment as "legal expenses" and therefore falsified 34 different documents? It is not like they invented extra fake

"Everyone can cheat" is not making the poor equal to the rich, not at all. The rich gets 2 things: they can pay for stuffs and they can get away for stuffs just because they are rich. The fact that no one is paying does not mean t

It is indeed the same. But in practice, having another human cheating for you was often unpractical: people don't usually like helping cheater, and simply trying to find an accomplice may get you in trouble. Because of that, it is rela

What is, according to you, the political interest? There are countries that have interest of having gas or oil bought from them. It is not clear if they are pro or against other countries going nuclear: on one hand, nuclear will replace par

So what you are saying is that you see a bias against males, or a bias in "pro-DEI" people's behavior. But where is your standardized testing to prove that? Does it mean that you are not interested in finding the correct corr

Discrimination is not bad in itself. A scientific approach is to apply discrimination over biased sample to compensate the bias. The difficulty is how to compensate fairly. And when you compensate fairly, you will have people who will say y

I think that you are right, but what is the worse (illustrative numbers): - 70% of men being allowed to get 20$ and 30% being excluded from this opportunity and getting only 5$ - 100% of women being excluded from the opportunity to get 20$

No one is going to take you seriously if your argument is the very reductive "because they choose to" (being tongue-in-cheek here, don't take it seriously) It is very clear that public image has a huge impact on what people c

That's not the point of the comment. A first comment said "without saying why". The second comment just says that this is blatantly not true, and that the rationale presented has been since confirmed as a very accurate predic

Not sure what is your point, the "test achievement" mentioned in the document refers to totally different "test" that the ones we were talking about. Also, on just pure logic, I don't think the document shows what y

That's the point: people with more training that reach high grade are LESS GOOD than people with low training that reach lower grade. You are saying that you don't want less athletic kids being accepted artificially. That's e

Your argument would have been more convincing if the Asians were getting the same as British people. But as soon as the Asians do better, it means that the whole comparison is meaningless. It means that Asians and British scores differently

It is strange to pretend that there is no cultural bias and then given an example that is usually explained because Asians seem to culturally value more education than white British. How will you explain that Asians outperform white British

It misses the point: if you split the universe in two identical parallel universe, but then take the same individual and in one universe train them 2h per week, and in the other universe, train them 8h per week, do you really think, whateve

Probably said somewhere else, but "green" originally means "does not create toxic waste when used". Nuclear is nice and good for the environment, but it does fit in the definition "produce waste", even if this

I'm surprised by what you say, it is not at all my experience. Are you sure you are not over-interpreting what your friend said, or that your friend's experience was not unusual? 1) People at CERN publish papers in "normal&qu

I think that's what the previous comment meant by "she is essentially equating Weinstein's theory to all other theoretical physics" Sure, it is an extrapolation to say "all other". But this sentence still has t

Even if we are generous and accept that GU was more criticized than other bullshit papers, the claim still needs to prove that the difference of treatment is due to some real bias and not a simple fluctuation. "I saw 2 persons being ju

Not sure I understand. My point is that "having devs being more creative" does not always mean it is a good thing. If the dev is creating more inventive code that solves what they incorrectly think is the problem while not solving

Did they account for the "usefulness" of the code produced. In my company, one problem is that developers produce internal tools that do not correspond to what other employees need. It is even worse when developers are more distan

The places I've used "prove" are in totally different contexts that the context in which you pretended I was claiming some proof. For the rest, it feels like you are moving the goalpost. The initial discussion was about the f

I'm simply trying to have an enjoyable conversation where we all learn and understand each other. I was just saying "I'm not convinced by this, but maybe I did not understood" to avoid assuming incorrectly, and to invite

Why would it be the size of the specific two people in a relationship? It looks very clear to me that violent behavior in relationship (and more specifically, in the first few days of dating) is a question of education, not the result of on

Not sure what is your point. I think "any form of violence" is not a constructive direction. First, this ends up being very subjective: between 2 forms of psychological violence, which one is the most violent? Secondly, if indeed

Not sure what is your point? It feels a bit like saying "there is a bug in software X, but there is also a bug in software Y, so let's not fix the bug in software X". Of course, men also suffer from problems. It even feels th

I think the problem is not the statement, but the conclusion. Do we have more physical violence from men towards women than the opposite? I think I saw that the reality is yes. Does it mean that men are biologically coded to be violent, or

I guess tax incentives feel strange because it feels a bit like a thing the government needs to do because of bad behaviors. As you say, the situation would be 100% identical if the government was receiving directly the tax and then buying
