If all you're saying is that it needs the right legislation/thoughtful legislation and not just a blanket ban, then I guess I agree. The base of this thread was someone saying that all gambling should be state owned, which seems l

Why wouldn't it be addressed with legislation? What is legislation for if not to solve societal issues? Also, gambling is empirically much more addictive and leads to worse outcomes than extreme sports - hence why many feel it needs to

What we would want to see if a confidence value that is in line with the actual correctness. If the value is 0.9 for 1000 different answers, then approximately 900 of those answers should be correct.

Surely the reusable bags that cost 25c also use a lot less resources to make than a cotton bag. Also, I would argue that the paper bag is the worst of both worlds - more carbon emissions than a plastic bag but also unlikely to be reused.

In general yes, but what about this sentence: > Reitano's personal experience with a heart condition, and his desire to recreate his father, a doctor, out of software as a hologram, inspired him to co-found the company.

Such a reductive title/framing. Yes, plastic recycling doesn't work very well. But that doesn't mean that getting rid of trash is simple/there aren't opportunities to reduce waste. Metal recycling, compost, glass b

It makes no sense that a contract would even provide a maximum notice period. Why would parties put that in? What benefit would either derive from restricting themselves to not getting earlier notice.

Well if there's no convection you must be in a vacuum! But if you mean no forced convection, that's just not the case. You can survive at wetbulb temperatures in excess of 30 C, which means 30 C + 100% RH. Hell, my house right now
