The previous poster is arguing metrics and the secretary-general is arguing ethics. You can't compare those two. Both statements could be true or false; the truth value of the statements is independent.

BMI is a sufficiently sensitive metric for this. BMI can be relied on to confirm overweight/obesity. It cannot be relied on to confirm normal weight (that is to say, if your BMI says you're overweight, you're overweight. If i

Do you live in Vancouver, perhaps? This is exactly what our housing debate is.

Yeah. It's depressing. The start of the ruling made me think, "This could be a triumph for federalism - states can still pass their own laws and we can put Net Neutrality to the test." Then I read the rest of the ruling. So m

Some people make the (good? I don't know) argument that corporate taxes are distortionary anyways, and shuffling that tax burden over to income has the same effect with fewer side effects.

It was because photos required long exposure and it's easier to hold your face in a neutral position. People smiled then as they do now: https://imgur.com/gallery/EYOym

The piece reads like "Boy, it sure is strange that all humans now work in silicon valley venture capital!" It's just silicon valley bubble platitudes top to bottom. He needs to take a breather somewhere on the other 99% of th

It's a false dichotomy. You can have a 2000 square foot place and a 20 minute commute. The markets really are being distorted. San Francisco downtown real estate sells for $1000 per square foot. Shouldn't that problem sell itself?

The opposition is always doing so, no matter who the opposition is.

Why? Square footage isn't a hard problem. It's just that the markets in a handful of high-profile locations are utterly broken. There is really no reason why everyone can't have 1000+ sq ft. 2000+ sq ft. This is a crap respon

Absolutely no idea. I was clarifying Sam's argument, not endorsing it.

It's an abstraction. You can tax people/things at a rate that causes a number of dollars equal to 20% of the GDP to end up in the state coffers (which brings up its whole own class of issues - what, exactly, do you tax to get that

Universal basic income. He wants to (numbers _entirely fabricated here_) tax 20% of US GDP and then give that money evenly to all adults, therefore giving every adult American an equal share of 20% of the GDP (which would be about $14,000 p

The lifetime word limit should not apply to papers publishing negative results. You may all congratulate me (financially) for solving the replication crisis.

Um, this study isn't controlling for socioeconomic status? It sort of barely controls for age, which finds lower violence when the officers are older. But it's not very convincing. Anecdotally it seems like there is a domestic vio

Ah, well, I wasn't even trying to imply that anyways. I was looking at the pros: better attention, better executive control, better focus. Whether he's great at parties is totally beyond my comprehension.

Are you kidding? Did the "bright, socially awkward person" stereotype get put out to pasture while I wasn't looking?

Those are all indicators of intelligence. Whether you have good executive control due to some "intrinsic" intelligence or due to some conditioning, the net effect is the same.

You could always add a --back(wards compatible) parameter that caused it to parse every other parameter like a `find` :)

I think there's value in having a camera there, even if it's shitty. It means you are always carrying around a device capable of image/video recording, which is tremendously useful.

That's not exactly true. People tout those photographs of "liberated" women in Iran in the 70's but that was a tiny slice of a female urban lifestyle restricted to a small number of elite women. That was not representati

You can fake it, though, just like you can misspell a word in English. Write 打喷替 and someone will figure out what you mean.
