This is a really big problem in America and it needs to be addressed head on, regardless of how uncomfortable the consequences may be. LEOs hold a sacred role of trust in our society - they maintain the potential application of the use of l

The problem with this is that we need more parking garages than open air parking lots.

One idea could be to take a page out of phys/chem/bio departments by introducing “lab” courses that have no lectured instructional component (usually you take both lecture and related lab in the same semester). These labs tend to

Again with the over emphasis on “state sanctioned recognition”.

I feel like a reasonable middle ground to these issues is for communities to perhaps embrace “metapackages” that serve as community maintained “standard libraries”. In the R community we have tidyverse, which is practically a full mirror o

This is fairly topical point. Yet in terms of maximizing stability, it seems like those democracies that do -not- vest too much executive power in a single person tend to fair better. Many presidential systems which adhere to strict notio

You're grossly overestimating the ability of an innumerate body with insufficient understanding of statistical concepts to be able to interpret data.

All true, but I guess I mean a ‘better’ model not at the expense of the perfect model. Can you tell me more about assertive outreach teams?

Probably not. They just go to wherever they are least bothered. Hence the Bay Area and its laxness.

As a “recovering libertarian”, this is accusation is so apt. The ideology fits the behavior being described very closely. Which is why it is so perplexing that Bay Area progressives strive so hard to protext libertarians.

I think you’re missing the point. The people that OP is referring to refuse to use all the public facilities offered, they don’t want to sleep indoors, they don’t want to use trash cans, they don’t want to piss in mobile bathrooms or take

I feel like an even better approach here would have been for the developers to offer the data collection functionality as a separately installed module, and then make the case to the user during installation of the main package.

It’s also not that impossible to imagine both being peer stakeholders in a renewed liberal trade order, ala US + EU.

I would reverse those. The hyper adversarial nature of our political environment is shaped by our electoral systems; specifically plurality voting, partisan primaries, and gerrymandered single member districts. Fixing those three things w

It’s a single statute that requires single member districts. It wouldn’t be difficult to change. Hell, it may even be unconstitutional.

Get rid of a single long summer break and the entire concept of a “school year”. Divide the year into quarters. Students can start in summer, spring, winter, or fall.

That doesn't make sense. By "response" he probably meant response variables, as in the dependent variables. Features would be the independent variables (or "predictors" in some stats/biostats circles).

To clarify, I meant “easily” in terms of fewer legal barriers. Political barriers is indeed a whole other issue.
