There's no sitemap ( https://chess.maxmcd.com/sitemap.xml ) - I was hoping to find a list of all possible chess states lol

I get that things are complicated, but I can't help but notice the inherent bias toward fear, present in the subtitile "scientists are worried." Or maybe it's a bias against change. What are the odds that the state witho

Seems that greenhouse experiments would allow us to get a pretty good estimate for the effect of CO2 on yields, so actually I wouldn't think we'd need to do that much assuming?

If the price isn't listed, I always take it as a sign that nobody is buying it for price reasons ("if you have to ask, you can't afford it"). Outside of the blog, I don't even see a claim that it's cheaper so t

Why aren't there prices on the website? (Seems weird that there isn't given that blog post, where costs are pretty central.)

Not really a ranking either (it's ordered chronologically e.g.), but true it is a very specific form of outlier, and not what I expected based on the name.

Yes, and specifically cars intentionally made to be loud. One obnoxious car with a loud muffler can disturb people in their homes many blocks away!

In those cases presumably there's not a more interesting question that's consistent with the question and that uses that information. I'd start with the assumption that the tweet isn't a dumb trick question.

Another way of making your point: it would also make the information about the distribution of n irrelevant, so it's a bad interpretation of the question.

Listed status is "experimental" but only two relatively minor commits in the last two years. Maybe it's more stable than that implies or the author is looking to pick it back up?

All this focus on Waymo supposedly acting "unexpectedly" but I don't see that word in the original article, and the statistics here implies the opposite -- Waymo gets in fewer accidents overall! Also, only the 2nd item is eve

One of his points is that NVIDIA is unlikely to maintain its current high margins, and becoming a low-cost leader would lead to lower margins, so that part is consistent.

I like how at the end the PDF teases another research gem: "You're not going to give me the umbrella, are you?"

100%. To take it a step further -- we can also find more efficient forms of energy (e.g. nuclear energy), and get more energy / economic growth while using fewer atoms.

You get different translations depending on the name. Some variations I see "Screw you", "Get over it", "Brace yourself"

No additional context. They don't even specify which you used (I have both a Mac and an iPhone and both are up to date). The full text is below: "Update your iOS software and Safari® browser to keep your device(s) secure We notice

You missed my point. I don't actually think the quote was offhand either (another comment suggested that possibility), but the lines from the paper I cited also uses causal language. My point is that using causal language is fine (unde

This comment (and often the "correlation != causation" discussion more generally) seems to equate "causation" with "proof of causation" (in a mathematical sense), which is a flawed criteria for science IMO. The

Per the reference in the article above ( http://www.bicyclinglife.com/Library/riskfactors.htm ) 8% of bicyclists were going against traffic. Yeah relative speed goes hand-in-hand with head-on collision and less reaction

Source #2 indicates that "wrong-way" biking is more dangerous, but my intuition is that it's safer: I like being able to see the traffic that is closest to me. I guess whatever advantage that provides is more than offset by t

So you'd be fine with expats in Portugal if they learned Portuguese? (Doesn't say one way or the other if the person in the article learned the language.) Conversely, are you upset by immigrants in the US that don't speak Eng
