well like one example would be if the author's study is predicated on the notion that salaries are optimally allocated, but you suspect that the hidden term representing misallocation of labor is actually quite large. In other words,

does this only work if labor markets are efficient?

A certain percentage of hacker news readers will appreciate this: if you subscribe to Spotify and have not yet listened to Joe Rogan, please do so-- just for 5-10 minutes. They're throwing a lot of money at him.. just check and see i

nope! 300k years ago, people who were anatomically as smart as us were walking around. Just not very many on account of the glaciers, megafauna, and competing hominids. Can't do agriculture on a glacier

Fun! But if abiogenesis happened more than once, and we don't see any alternate-root lineages, then we've admitted the possibility that major advances towards complex life can have a resource lock out effect leading to the extinc

This only for TV though, right? Film was high resolution from the beginning.

All totally fine except it's in the context of an involuntary OTA update with unknown content. But we've decided that manufacturers have an incorruptible right to tinker with goods they've sold you after the fact. As usual

Interesting website.. a lot of surprising banned apps, e.g. why is The Simpsons: Tapped Out banned in the UK?

Yeah I figured it was shell customization gone awry early on, with 'mkdir --' in the mix. But if they'd figured that out immediately it wouldn't have been a fun post; busting out some custom unix plumbing tools and show

I'm gonna read the whole paper I swear, but I do hope they get around to treating the converse: loss of trust due to hiding true information also causes harm, by reducing the chances future true information will be believed. Most fasci

Yeah the right in the US has always preferred to pretend like racism is an abstract idea rather than an embodied institution, and that the civil rights acts of 1866 and 1964 didn't happen-- or if they did, that disparate impact isn&#x2

Surely we've all been burned by counterfeit/terrible Chinese Amazon products by now.. makes it harder to trust Chinese brands generally. At a certain point one is willing to pay a premium for the merely western/capitalist kin

I wonder if the name makes it more of magnet for topminds and true scotsmen.. Joker emoji, story checks out. Lesson learned: a name is a flag, and if you've gotta tell people you're smart, you're an asshole.

Can't tell if you're deadpan describing a bus on purpose or by accident, but it is funny either way!

Well we make a lot of long lived chemicals that are toxic to complex life, then spray/spill/dump/burn them all over. I'd say humanity is sort of undertaking the project of making the first few feet of earth's crust

I feel ya. It's hard to measure software engineer productivity, which means it's hard to incentivize software production at the margin, so the tendency is to work hard on your own recognizance until you run out of motivation and

you've spent too much time in the 18th century and have fallen into the trap of making vast hand-wavy claims about humanity without a shred of evidence. Stop it.

Spoiled brats aren't good at empathy I guess. Civilization emerged in the last 10k years or so because of climactic conditions. Before that, shiz was regularly cray cray. Even .1MY ago shiz was messed up bad in terms of supporting ni

also, on Linkedin: 1500 postings for mathematica, 150,000 postings for MATLAB? Don't get me wrong I use a lot of dead software too, it gets things done. Just saying, Mathematica might be a bit less Apple, and a bit more Amiga, at th

Sure but by the same token I could guess a 256 bit key and decrypt anything I want. The placement of the statistical boundary vs a given adversary compute power is the part we care about, every time.

I wonder if certain applications would benefit from redundant setups in different cpu arches to check for discrepancies.. kinda like NASA stuff but different.
