Ingroup biases (race, class, religion) don't really become a factor until the outgroup is assertive. I saw this firsthand as a foreigner in Korea. The first few years I kept my head down and was treated well. "He's just like

To fix the problem of capitalism, you would have to fix the problem of pricing (=efficient allocation of) goods into supply chains, which problem grows as the fourth power of the number of goods available. It's probably better to keep

Afaik, for nonimmigrant visas they don't care about skills, but they do care about any ideological background (preventing terrorism) and they care a lot about the probability of overstaying the visa: they want to see evdence of conne

Could you quantify the number of poor Americans who do not have access to clean water in the US, and provide some support to the idea that it is due to racism? My understanding is that the Flint situation is due to mismanagement, which was

That is a useful system for middle readers with limited volcabulary to jump into high school / professional reading, but not so good for very early readers. Note how all the grecoroman stems are defined in terms of germanic words, whic

When I see a headline like this my instinct is to jump to "overfitting". In a study like this they use P=0.05 as their cut off for significance. One in 20 such studies would be expected to give meaningless results. But they had th

Ultimatums are one of the best tools for people in terrible relationships to use: "Give up the bottle, or I leave." "Stop hitting the kids, or I call the cops." (Other ultimatums, such as "Marry me or I kill the dog

To be fair, if another 150 people die that will be the end of the 737 program - and probably Boeing. 300 more deaths is highly unlikely.

It probably has no effect: objects that are not in stable orbits around the earth are going to be in hyperbolic orbits relative to the Earth's gravitational field. A dangerous asteroid would need a periapsis lower than the Earth's

Back in 2002 cameraphones were not as common as now, and even now it is probably acceptable to limit camera access to "massage therapy" centers. The trick with the Epstein scheme is that with the massage excuse Epstein has some pl

This seems to be a relatively simple case of tit-for-tat. Chinese scholars were welcomed in the US, but a significant minority of them have abused their welcome (defected). It is not all of them, but it was systemic enough to lose a lot of
