Firstly, this fine was issued by FINRA, not the SEC. Secondly, which laws did they break exactly? This is a substantial fine for the scope of violations that were being investigated, as this has nothing to do with any of the gamestop restri

Note: This is not related to any activity relating to the gamestop/meme stock trading restrictions earlier this year, and was predominantly for their violations regarding proper trading controls and communications during 2018 to late 2

While I agree with the larger sentiment, there is a rather substantial amount of diet and nutrition science with the core being quite an agreed upon set of foundational principles. If I were to summarize: 1. We derive energy from three majo

If she wants to learn math in the classical fundamental way, Spivak's calculus is actually a fantastic resource. It begins with nearly no pre-requisite number theory and has a very axiomatic approach, which while pedantic makes things

I don't think a "hello world" type of program/circuitry(?) needs to be unique to a quantum computer. It just needs to be expressible with a quantum circuit. Similar to how you can have hello world in both ruby and python

I think the article basically makes this point implicitly: Thus far, quantum computing has been mis-explained, so to truly explain it properly requires disabusing the reader of certain notions first. That being said, QM and QC is not partic

If I'm reading the article correctly, this is allowed by HIPAA already and is already happening (for research purposes and by third party healthcare companies?). I would much rather google handle this data rather than unknown third par

We are in agreement that the article is broader than that specific point. I disagree that GP was making the argument you are making in your second paragraph (or if he was, it was needlessly circuitous and somewhat mean). To demonstrate that

Then indeed there would be nothing to take issue with. However to make the analogy extremely tenuous (at best), one needs to show that there is no baby, rather than just claiming there isn't.

Again, there is nothing wrong in critiquing his scientific ideas. Being generous even if he's flat out wrong about Oumuamua, stating that "he has fringe ideas" as a response to an article about the reaction to fringe/fan

Precisely this, he is perfectly within his right to explore these ideas, that can and in fact should be done. His reaction to the reaction of the wider community is rather odd, and has probably caused him more harm than good in the long r

This is a rather ad hominem attack which does not really refute his point or lead to a good discussion. If we're going to critique someone it does not do them justice to criticize their scientific pedigree just because some of their id

While I appreciate why Avi Loeb would author an article like this (for those unfamiliar he posited that Oumuamua was of an intelligent alien origin and hence garnered some pushback), it seems a bit ungenerous in spirit to how science is don

Thank you for sharing this, it's a beautiful expression of how uplifting emotion can be even in the face of how fleeting our lives are; especially during these times!

This was an extremely eye opening thread. Thank you for explaining it in such clear and concise terms.

I was making those statements in the context of those conditions being necessary for a failed state's currency to be replaced by a cryptoeconomic currency. But to answer your specific point, even if you could convince someone else that

Not sure why this question is being downvoted, but possibly. However this is fraught with various complications and is a discussion around failed state govts.' regime enforcement, internal citizenries' access to external organizat

This is governed by which specific cryptocurrency's monetary policy you're talking about. For example ethereum's supply is decided by a committee with people from different groups [1], while bitcoin's is basically fixed

No, the biggest promise of crypto is that you don't need to trust a third party (wether, govt., bank or your neighbour) to verify a transaction between two parties as valid and that somebody didn't just give you counterfeit digita

There was no argument made for ethnocentricity, nor for stopping a global exchange of ideas. This response seems very non sequitur. > The international collaborations that it thrives on are largely formed via exchange of students. 1) Stu

I think we're making mutually reconcilable points here. > Quality is distributed somewhat evenly. Starting from that assumption (which I can agree with), here is a simplified (perhaps numerically inaccurate) argument. Assuming the t

Citation heavily needed here. I find it hard to believe on face value that foreign researchers are necessarily better than US researchers; especially given the number of both foreign and domestic university graduates from U.S universities

by chunky1994 6y ago
Did you mean to respond to GP? If not, that is a rather disingenuous reading of what I wrote. No one is saying it "should" be hard for foreign students to get a job in academia, my point was academia has ample domestic labour, so

by chunky1994 6y ago
I fail to see the "problem" here. Most academia STEM jobs are incredibly competitive, postdocs less so than professorships but for fundamental science it is nearly indisputable that academia is flush with labour. If universities d

Perhaps I have a misunderstanding of the term McCarthyism but I fail to see how this can be classified as such. I agree with your thesis and conclusion about electoral responsibility and cancel culture. However, isn't McCarthyism nec

This made me cry, very suddenly and unexpectedly. I know it will probably not mean anything tangible but I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you and your daughter are able to come out of this ordeal stronger than you went in.

I don't think that's true of most people. People use IANAL defensively in an attempt to avoid embarrassment from being shown to be wrong in an ensuing discussion as opposed to a "free to present my opinion without scrutiny&qu
