Sometimes it's hard to see the second order effects of our actions, but it seems pretty clear cut how society will be affected if you punish people willing to invest in their childrens' education.

The adversity score, as far as I can see, gives high scores to students who succeed in worse school districts. While none of the sites reporting on this bothered to link to any kind of official announcement, it looks like this may be a ref

Given what China is willing to do in Xinjiang, can it really be called fear mongering? Someone willing to turn an entire state into a surveillance camp is definitely ok with using a hardware company to spy. In what world would they hav

You can test this directly by asking what piece of user feedback prompted small visual features of the design. If half or more of the design decisions have some kind of backing in experimental data (including interview/qualitative dat

Seems like to know PHP, though, you need to know all the history that the author has picked up by following the PHP space since forever. Which mysql functions are appropriate, etc. If knowing the language means "being a working progr

Given the strides they've made in automated dispatching and the increased demand for taxis that has come about as a response, I'm guessing the model makes sense at a higher price than they currently charge. I was literally the mod

As someone who did not have a car for the better part of a decade, living in one city known for a good taxi system and one without a good taxi system: "sustainable industry" is not the term I would use to describe taxis. Their di

Yes - 100%. Javascript is different because the language has quirks, but that's more superficial than you would think. The runtime environment is where all the gotchas are. Everything is single threaded, but events happen constantly

Ah, that's very useful to know. I take my statement back then, this is better calibration than I thought.

This gets to the core of Taleb's beef with FiveThirtyEight - what political forecasts are calibrated? The ones that were forecasted 6 months out, or the last forecast before the end of the election? They may only be calibrated when en

Is it in the suburbs? All my home-buying-age friends are moving into/near the city, the definition of "good neighborhood" has shifted a bit from years past.

At the pro level, I think I agree with you too. That is different enough from the amateur scene that it deserves its own ethical analysis.

No, but the ones I and others want to do involve hits to the head. You don't get to decide for me whether the risk of injury is greater than my enjoyment of the sport. You can be dictator of your own life.

Correction - a risk of damaging your brain. Not a certainty. The difference is important.

There are worse things in life than brain damage risk, and I'm thankful that others aren't allowed to choose for me how I approach those risks.

Leave it to the English novelist community to shun the one field that is undergoing a golden age. Seriously, what recent books with any staying power have come out of the non-SF/fantasy genres? Meanwhile, authors like Liu Cixin and P

I'm guessing the lust billboard guy made their sign as a response to the adult entertainment billboard guy, and the two don't share that much in common.

"This isn’t the same as being in the feeling" I genuinely have no idea what this means. What are you trying to say here? So I can be in any feeling except frustration when I'm conveying that I'm being frustrated? This

It's because NVC has taken away the natural way for people to express frustration, which is by being short with the other person. Personally, I don't get it either. No one I'm frustrated with seems to understand that if I te

Yup. It was arguably even worse before. Pulitzer himself ran fake news about the Spanish in Cuba as propaganda to support the Spanish-American War: By the time [Joseph Pulitzer] actually composed his thoughts for the North American
