Are cops in America really that proficient with guns tho? Most of them probably only spend as much time in a gun range as an average gun owner, and quite a few probably only spend whatever minimum time is required by their department. Also

Not an expert in this area, but I believe it's harder for the software to pick out shadows/shades on a darker skin, and it relies heavily on those shadows/shades to recognize structure.

Yes, but the investor will pay more in taxes when they sell the actual ETF. It's more like deferring taxes than avoiding them. Think of it this way, if the fund paid these taxes when they sell their various holdings, that less tax amou

Presumably Grindr is going to continue to exist and gain new users, possibly for quite a long time. Just because they already have data on 27 million doesn't mean we should just shrug and leave it open for future millions more.

I'm kind of curious what it means to run a non-profit as a front. I sorta know from news/pop culture that a lot of rich people use non-profits as a way of funneling taxable income into championing their own causes and throwing gal

I mean they deployed the National Guard in Baltimore after the first day of Freddie Gray protests. There was some burning and looting going on, so it got labeled a 'riot', but honestly what's been going on in Paris has probab

So we should never have parking lots, because they could be repurposed into homes for homeless people? I feel this is only really relevant to high-density cities that are being underdeveloped because of local regulations and NIMBY. Most of

Hmmm, so if consumers stopped buying or using a certain product/service that produces a lot of pollution, then industry/commerce would still keep right on ahead polluting the exact same amount. Interesting thought. Consider consum

That might be part of it, but I think based on the abstract they're more trying to say that the amount of stimuli we can perceive in a given moment is limited by physical processes that slow down as we age, e.g. your eye movements (sac

Goodheart's law. Besides what employer wants to hire someone based just on their intelligence scores? If someone is an uncooperative egoist prick I don't think many companies will want to hire them no matter their test scores.

I'm confused why anyone in this thread chain would think a firm like Ernst and Young would have access to zero-days?

I never said Russia was the only one or the most effective. I wasn't trying to get into a WhatAboutThem debate, just that saying Russia did nothing effective was wrong. But seeing the sources above I might have been wrong about that. S
