The parent is not saying Trump is not the legitimate president. He's saying that the US government has three branches (congress, executive, judiciary) which provide checks and balances and Trump is ordering an executive agency to ignor

> To borrow the OP's analogy, that is like saying drivers with licenses have a monopoly on driving. Not so, as the number of medical residents is de facto set by Congress (due to how the funding system works), thereby limiting the n

I think this is availability bias. Many large (> $100M) deals happen all the time in early stage life sciences but don't get picked up by the tech press or covered as "startups". A few high profile stories flame out specta

Not too many problems, that's in general exactly how it works today. FDA approvals are generally marketing approvals: what you're allowed to advertise your drug for and to who. Physicians can do more or less whatever they want in

Interesting. I didn't know that. I think half of the point remains (what sounds like a small error can be critical) but I guess GPS isn't a great example, then, as safety critical systems tend to be smarter by design anyway.

An error of 7 meters would probably mean the FAA would refuse to certify GPS for aircraft use. Even now it's only usable in many circumstances with ground based corrections (eg WAAS or GBAS). A minute of error would probably make it un

Not true at all. China has lots of local dialects and nuance, but is over 90% Han ethnically and believes strongly in "one China," and has for literally millennia.

Observation from being at NIPS in Barcelona this week: almost half of the hallway conversations are in Chinese. How many are in Hindi? I've heard maybe 2 groups of people speaking it. English? Sure, everyone speaks English. But close t

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Much better than the laser cutting of a Picasso. CAH is the OK Go of postmodern satire and have outdone themselves. Really incredible art. I imagine many people not getting this is the sa

Whatever Trump might do policy-wise with regards to freedom of speech and our democracy, realize that Thiel literally sued a popular media company out of existence over things they wrote about him. I don't think this gets better soon.

The Submarine giveaway here was the zero mentions of Tesla. They had quotes from a Ford family member but none from someone at one of the "tech" companies. I really struggle to feel like the news gives me a good understanding of t

Hey David, author of the linked repo here. I thought the paper was pretty neat and I'm a fan of the graph convolution work being done by both you and Patrick Riley's and Vijay Pandes' groups. A few questions: - In the paper

Channel 14 is used in some Asian markets but illegal in the US, there's consumer hardware that can use it out there.

How? Rapid downsizing / swooping? There's only something like 20 skydiving fatalities a year! (In the US) I'm pretty sure that eg solo belly on a low wing loading with an AAD and RSL is more or less arbitrarily safe as long a

Did they actually die skydiving? I have a lot of skydiving friends that have died, but none of them were actually killed skydiving. Also for participation-hour are you only including free fall/canopy flight? Because 99% of skydiving is

While you're right that it's not very common, I know at least 3 (non-famous) people who did that. BASE and skydiving are pretty separate communities and there are a lot of people who make friends in base from cross over in things
