A hint towards their answer is when they said "(and sometimes even within the same city)". Because it's important to them to allow for non-location-based price adjustment, they simply leave it up to the user.

The article addresses this. Unfortunately the "teachers" were being paid mostly just to be strong opponents for the "students". So AI ruins their market. From the article: "the Go school recruits a professional pla

It's funny to think of developers and users as two distinct constituencies with distinct interests. I had thought any good developer, by definition, would do what's best for the user. Therefore the interests of both groups are t

This is like saying "Prisons are Buildings". Yes they are. So what? EDIT: Never mind, this paper is brilliant. EDIT2: Here's the point for my own future reference: to make a good Queue, you need a pile of parts. A reasonabl

Fair enough, point well made. I don't think regulation is in the long-term public interest here. But that's a debate worth having.

I don't understand why people are putting moral dimensions on this business conflict. If you don't like Apple's platform or business practices, don't use it. All the users and developers are there by choice. Their alt

As an American I strongly agree with your insight, and independently arrived at it. It is an underlying cultural issue -- a lack of community spirit that is relatively widespread. It is a universal human tendency that is strongly in effect

My vote counts and is counted. That makes it a representative republic. Citizens United and publicly financed elections do not affect whether or not my vote counts or is counted. Of course they affect what messages me and my fellow cit

That number can't be interpreted without context — how many of the top 100 most highly cited papers are in the Lancet? If it's ~30 then your data point doesn't mean anything.

Fair questions. What fatality rate are you expecting for not-at-risk people? Is that risk of death acceptable to you? What risk of death should I expect, I'm a healthy 47 year old male. Is it 0.1% or 0.01%? The difference between t

Subhead is better than headline: "There may be more targeted ways to beat the pandemic." Thought-provoking piece. And if we had much more available testing, what it proposes could be a smart way to go. Until we have much more avai

Your last line is the super important point, occurred to me today as well. If we beat this thing with social distancing, idiots will say "See! There was no reason to panic!"

The problem isn't the scale of Youtube, it's the scale of the Internet. If Youtube didn't exist, we'd still have billions of people posting billions of videos, and who is going to take the time to police it all? Extendi

The point is that how is a layperson to know which sciences are trustworthy and which are not? The media and school treat all sciences as equally trustworthy, and then it has turned out that some of them are pretty bogus. (Half of all pu

Often there are powerful incentive effects at work that can explain the "lateness". The party making the estimate may be rewarded for making optimistic estimates (winning a bid, winning votes, staying in power). And that reward
