Um, you make it sound like prisoners are just helpless beings that have no agency and are fully passively pushed into a situation. Society didn't ask the prisoners to commit crimes either, but they (mostly) did anyway. Society has no c

Many landlords still have mortgage, which tends to be higher than the rent already.

Slightly positive perhaps, as an investor may ask to get paid to hold Uber for their troubles.

graycat's pedantic approach to mathematical formalism is quite defeatist in that it basically disallows any mathematical concept to advance from precise but limited language towards the edge of imagination. The kind that forbids sqrt(2

No, China does both. US just doesn't have the legal ability to pursue one of the two strategies you mentioned.

I think a simpler way to put it is that the coordination of more body mass requires more analog input. It's not the case that a large muscle group in a body is sufficiently abstracted into something that only requires a small amount of

On financial topics there are many emotions thrown around based on very little understanding. Unfortunately my upvotes to comments like this can only affect so little.

Yeah, and sometimes that's the point. Some sites do this probably to improve viewership of older articles. I don't understand why a university would do this though.

Regression to the mean is ruled out by comparing against strong contemporaries, whose number of papers produced kept growing on average. This group of strong contemporaries was not selected by looking at the number of papers, but instead by

A small number of foreigners couldn't organically make rents go 2x "everywhere". Having small gentrified areas aren't so bad. If the impact was instead quite large, it's a failure by the local government and develop

My guess is that the teeth isn't visible throughout all the frames, so it's hard to reconstruct accurately in 3D. In fact the parts that look like gum and the tongue don't seem to be correct, far from the reconstruction quali

Even then the predictions need to be confirmed and proven not to be a fluke. While technical reproducibility isn't always required (in case of observing a rare event, and there is enough expertise to evaluate the fidelity of the experi

"Turning someone into a prop" is a metaphorical statement. To conclude the act matches a dictionary definition of something is taking rhetoric way too seriously. Any act can be metaphorically described in a way that sounds like th

While I don't like what happened to her, we should call it for what it is and not more. The filmer was a jerk and she had to right to not be disturbed or filmed. "Dehumanised" is a bit too far.

I'm not sure having mainframes counts as sovereignty. Yearly savings suggests it doesn't.

Generally, all art is derivative one way or another. Many artists don't want to admit it but their work is often the product of the times and they drew inspiration from existing work. This is what underlies "Great artists steal&qu

The title doesn't necessarily imply it's general. For one, the first word is "When". If the title was instead "Network is faster than browser cache" you'd have more of a point.

WeChat has more features than WhatsApp but probably not the Facebook ecosystem. It's also far-fetched to say it's "far more efficient", given Facebook has to serve many more users and doesn't seem slow.

When I see "browser cache" I can't think of anything other than a local file storage. Maybe it confused you, but there's no deliberate misleading.

This is a very naive and unconstructive point of view. Interviewers have an interest to screen for the best quality with the least effort. If they can reduce false negatives, they could fill positions more quickly. If there's a concens

The matching of buyers and sellers is a hard problem. When there's a limit order book, meaning bid and ask resting orders on NYSE, by definition the buyers and sells can't be matched. To "match buyers and sellers", one n
