True, but that's not as if death was the only bad outcome. Not that we can even pretend to know the long-term effects yet, but anecdotally it seems that some people are already experiencing them, which include lung scarring and neurolo

The value of hard assets like real estate has to be tied to the money supply to some extent. I can understand that CPI inflation is not directly tied to money printing, partly because both the velocity of money and the demand for consumptio

I came across one of those kickback-for-5-star-reviews thing once. There is absolutely no way to report it to Amazon even with proof.

Insider trading is more significant for smaller companies outside of the S&P 500.

It's almost certainly not junk when it makes it to Nature Photonics. This is the top journal in the field along with Science. The usability might not be there, but the science is almost guaranteed to be interesting. The news release sp

Could anyone in the 90s and early 00s have imagined that the internet would end up being one big competition for who can monitor and track their users best, just to run the most efficient ads, and that this value would be in the hundreds of

It has huge policy implications. Some people push gun controls because of it, or install fences at bridges and subway stations that can cost in the billion dollar range.

It doesn't, but it would likely be even lower still without guns. Owning a gun is a risk factor for impulsive suicides particularly.

You could analyze trading patterns, discover that insider trading is almost certainly taking place, trade on that, and you wouldn't be committing insider trading yourself. Your own deductions are fair game.

China was never part of the TPP. But any treaty or international norm has and will be disregarded if it has any downside to them. Their own domestic laws are only selectively enforced.

As an easy counter-example, there was a decent drop in people getting CS degrees following the dot-com bubble implosion and pervasive rumors of offshoring thereafter. Correspondingly, there was an uptick while the bubble was forming.

Then you can hijack the noise canceling device and obtain the original signal. Also the canceling effect is likely never perfect, so there would still remain part of it going through.

People do think that about women, but it usually goes “Is this the kind of family-centered woman that will be on perpetual maternity leave and not pull her weight?” It’s very hard to do anything about it even if we acknowledge that it happe

The funding for the military is far from infinite, and the US is actually pretty "privileged" as far as how much money trickles down to grants for seemingly unrelated stuff through DARPA and other similar agencies. The discussion

There are no ways around that. You cannot feasibly make funding infinite nor do anything about the lack of political will for increasing research funding. Even if funding was to increase dramatically, you'd get people coming up with ev

It can be argued that part of being a good researcher is developing an intuition and taste for interesting and promising research questions. Of course, the counterpart to this is that you see hype and fads developing very easily. But overal

The topic of funding is a recurrent one in these types of discussions. There are always more people wanting to do science than what is available in funding. There needs to be a process to allocate resources that takes into account competenc

I really don't understand this. In a cubicle farm environment, you'd walk over their desk, interrupt whatever they are doing, and ask them to follow you to a separate meeting room to use the whiteboard? And how are other people su

I’m picturing someone already leaning over the railing, somewhat close to the gun, by himself (since nobody alerted of his fall), while his ship is firing and cruising in enemy waters. My mental image might be wrong, but not exactly the sma

What is the actual physical process in getting sent overboard from a firing ship? That does seem very unusual.

If you do it in "real" markets, you get the attention of the SEC or similar agencies in other countries. Crypto is completely unregulated in this regard.

The claim was that single-frame grab attempts are prevented by an indicator that stays on for 3 seconds. First, you do have to be alert for all of these potential 3 seconds windows, and second, it doesn't prevent anything but only tell

So you have to perpetually watch out for the LED indicator to see if it ever randomly turns on for 3 seconds? And what if it does come up unexpectedly? At this point it's too late and you've already been captured. A mechanical cov

But this one is open to hobbyists. If you're doing a graduate degree in ASIC design and your group doesn't have the funds to do simple fab runs, you're probably in a somewhat questionable program to begin with.

There is much more risk in not taking that stance in the current environment.

Not really. A buyback makes your shares inherently worth more on a per share basis. If you compare it to a reinvestment of the dividends (DRIP), then it's really equivalent, except that one is a taxable event but not the other. You&#x2

Any linear time-invariant system bounded in reality has a frequency response that will drop off in magnitude before reaching infinity. An ideal triangular wave is an infinite sum of sine harmonics because of the discontinuity in its deriv

Modulating individual lines is the only way for such a scheme to become practical in a real environment and achieve the claimed data rates. Making hundreds of modulators and receivers fit within a single chip is about as hard as making hund
