You're telling me Trump is destroying the foundation of a centuries old institution to satisfy personal ego and fleeting desire? To be fair, that is the platform he ran on. I am starting to lose trust in the safety of my tap water, bu

I am not saying you are wrong, but both Type I and Type II errors are problematic. What if the pilot is wrong? Korean Air Flight 801 could have used someone 2nd guessing a pilot. They didn't until they were almost dead and then it wa

If you see yourself in the hegemon, sure. This strategy has also led to horrible brutality against marginal groups.

Scientific concensus that this is harmful, small bickering on how to set standards, but due to a bureacratic triviality nothing will be regulated at all in any capacity for several years, which happens to align perfectly with the incentives

A foreign government is paying our Navy to keep a fresh supply of dead Americans around for them to run tests on whenever they feel like. But it is unethical to pay people to donate blood. I have lost all hope that I will ever understand ho

Household ownership of cars hit 50% by 1930 but there was no federal seatbelt mandate unitl 1968 or regulation of intoxicated driving until the 1980s. Don't hold your breath waiting on the US government to give a shit about death and d

My daughter and her friends have their own paid chatgpt. She said she uses it to help with math homework and described to me exactly why I bought a $200 TI-92 in the 90s with a CAS. Adoption is high with young people.

Based on policy over the last decade, it seems America would rather have every rich person own an electric vehicle than every poor person eat dinner. We really should do more tax credit for solar panels and EV credits, I know a doctor that

If China stops buying our soybeans, we can start planting other things. Aren't natural food dyes just a great way to encourage diversity in domestic agriculture? I am not an expert in synthetic vs. natural, but I feel like this decisio

The people convincing you it is a virtue to move fast always happen to be selling a car. Be careful that you aren't optimizing your life in response to someone else's marketing campaign.

To be clear, I am talking about a hypothetical ought-to-be and not specifically discussing the current law anywhere. I hear you and I agree public spaces involve us working and coexisting together, not tailoring the public space to what one

The idea of public and private needs a similar distinction like libel and defamation. Ephemeral public has no expectation of ephemeral privacy, but me walking down a street with a handful of people on it should not lead me to expect that be

Do you have data to back up this claim? The marketing side of the business is very data driven with lots of very intelligent statisticians and scientific testing for ad placement and ad content, etc. I cant accept that the same people that

Ask your doctor for a specific drug and he will reply, without disclosing his sponsorship money, about another drug that is just as good. At least Google writes the word sponsored, the real world doesn't do that.

I peaked at around 21st but stopped playing because it seemed to be a lottery. I ran simulations with perfect information and found the lower bound for scores. Scenario 2 was mean 3743 rejections with 265 std deviation. This is the curve fo

It seems to me the kid is going to be out around the time he is 30, most likely has many millions stashed away the Feds never discovered, and he will do fine. If I have learned anything in the last two decades, crime does indeed pay, the ri

Start charging users to submit a vulnerability report. It doesn't matter if it made by AI or a human, spammers operate by cheaply overproducing and externalizing their work onto you to validate their shit. And it works because sometim

I was hoping someone would say this. I think the virtue of the trademark is an implied warranty of the value of the brand. I would like to live in a world where deceptive trade practices did not exist. Imagine selling a "full-self driv

Almost all software has a no warranty clause. I am not a lawyer but in pretty plain English every piece of software I have ever used has said exactly that I can fuck off if I expect it to work or do anything. To clarify - I dont think it is
