Some zero-price schools in the US, like high schools, have essentially no standards at all. You can get a diploma even if nearly illiterate. Good schools with high standards can be delivered with or without paid tuition, and the same for ba

Institutions on a small scale a long time ago are not easily comparable to institutions means to serve a much larger fraction of a much larger population.

A nearly content-free article. The idea is not new, and little data is offered to support it. The success criteria seems to be "enrollment", which leaves a lot of room for things to go wrong. No downsides are mentioned aside from

Chemically speaking, how is natural rubber different from plastic while still having such similar properties?

Well, maybe or maybe not. A lot of the negative thoughts I have are somewhat fleeting, and if I revisit them the next day they seem pretty trivial and I could probably dismiss them sooner. Others might be more meaningful, perhaps a characte

It's much easier and faster to pass a law with loopholes that still removes 90%+ of the bad stuff you want to remove. If you try to solve 100% of the problem you have the bad stuff on the market for another 10 years while the details a

A few tangential questions: Assuming services are available and accessible on a voluntary basis, what is the success rate for overcoming major substance abuse or mental health issues? How does that success rate change with various levels of

Not sure if it's true or not but the author is suggesting that the housing is not a safe environment and that they don't have good access (or at least utilization) of services. I read it more as an argument that it's an expen

It seems like the suggestion (by implication) is mandatory treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues.

There's always some way to group things together, but I find it unhelpful in this case. Even grouping all firearm deaths together is almost always unhelpful. Ordinary violent crime with firearms is very different from a school shooting

Is this just a final battle for the remaining scraps of money in a dying industry? Or is this a real, substantive negotiation that will push the industry to a better place?

If you observe an action that's wrong, you can work backwards from there to discover what you need. If you have to use dragnet searches, that means you don't have any clear bad action to work from, and you're trying to constr

In your analogy, you assume that you already know a murder happened, and it's a question of who did it. Obviously words matter there. But for antitrust it's using words to try to show that a crime even happened at all. That's

That would be interesting to discuss but it's not where I was going and it's a bit off topic. Investigations should start with the crime and work backwards to find the criminal. If you have to find incriminating statements to tell

We've shifted too much in the direction of punishing based on words rather than actions. Punishments should be driven primarily from actions and harms, and words should just be used to show intent and involvement. It seems weird to me

Counterfactual: What if debts were all perfectly organized? If you miss a payment, the collector would email you an electronic copy of the contract, and the parts in breach would be highlighted. Further assume that the contract itself is si

What's expensive about having a lot of threads/processes? Could those costs be brought down somehow? Would it help to configure the threads as they are starting (e.g. start a tiny thread)?

Maybe it will be a compromise where the roads have special markers that are easy for machines to process.

Moderation is not censorship. Moderation is for forums where readers have little control over who is posting the content that you are seeing, so the forum tries to shape the content for the readers in one way or another. Examples: Reddit, H

The recent surge in violence as DAs have stopped fully prosecuting criminals -- including those who commit violent gun crimes -- has blurred the line between criminal violence and state violence. That renews the argument for self defense. I

That sounds like a fun project if you are a bitcoin millionaire that moved to a ranch. Rip the components out and try to re-engineer all of the control systems. Given the number of sensors, it could also be a great way to collect open data

How weird to make this a fight against hypocrisy. If X causes Y, and you like Y, then it might boost your support for X. But if not, that doesn't make you a hypocrite. I mean, what if X is a bad thing for other reasons? Why not just s
