Planting that many trees is not what's required. What's required is growing and maintaining them. If they burn in a fire, you need to start over. If they get cut down, you need to start over. If the land they're on gets sold

Where do you go to plant trees such that you can be certain the trees won't just be cut down in a few years, and also don't simply displace other trees that would otherwise grow? Also, do you keep track of the trees to make sure t

I don't fundamentally mind the policy decision. It's bad for Canadians and good for Americans, although we give up some agency in the determination of our own prices by making this play. I just wish the messaging around this didn&

You're missing the fact that one big reason the prices are so low in Canada is regulation. https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10.1377/hlthaff.20.3.... What the administration is proposing is effectiv

To each their own, but a lack of math skills has rarely hurt me in my career. I guess I could be getting paid even more money as an ML specialist if I had more math knowledge. But you can make absurd amounts of money as a skilled generali

Project Zero was not the group that discovered the G+ vulnerability, though. Project Zero's terms do not bind other teams within the company who have not agreed to them.

Personally, I'd rather live in NYC or Tokyo than the Bay, and indeed that is the choice I eventually made.

Ok, but who do you treat well in this situation? The unpleasant student, or the person who is asking for information about them? If you remain silent about your honest opinion of the student, you are potentially foisting this unpleasantness

It seems like the reform act of 2013 might make these comments in-bounds: Honest opinion: It is a defence for defamation, to show the statement complained of was a statement of opinion; that it indicated, in general or specific terms, the b

Since the figure quoted is "X deaths per year", that that would be a large exaggeration, as I said, right?

No pedestrians or bikes on the interstate. It's likely the figure is just a large exaggeration.

> And this is not just a cost issue. Its estimated that failure to adhere to known safer pavement designs is resulting in 10,000 - 15,000 unnecessary deaths a year. That seems unlikely, if this was in a single state, considering only abo

It's 1/4 of their annual net income. It's far from a joke, but it is true that it isn't ruinous.

You've made an unfounded assumption -- that is, that the person you're responding to is scraping irresponsibly. If they are, as they say, simply replacing human researchers with the equivalent bots, then the net load change from a

Often what the municipalities are doing for public records is harder and more expensive than just publishing an API. So The funding excuse doesn't really cut muster with me.

Does it matter at all that people start and end low quality podcasts? Nobody listens to them, nobody spends money on them, and the producers lose little by trying something and stopping. What I care about is the availability of high quality

It seems representative of a certain class of article lately that is willing to bend the truth to the point of breaking in order to say something bad about any of the large American tech companies.

It's a rehash of an article in the Intercept. And it is indeed about the OpenPower foundation, which you can see if you click through the link in the first sentence. The fact that the editorial doesn't even mention the name of the

The click-bait is strong with this storyline. It's also been posted and upvoted here a number of times over the past week, despite it being a non-story. Presumably people are seeing the title and upvoting without reading or understandi

IMO people should have a right to sell things they've made. I get that that is inconvenient to open source folks. And most of the time it will be fine. But, IMO, if this is a concern, someone should make it worth it to this owner not t

There are ~12k YouTubers with >1M subs, though, so the math is a little more generous than those with 10M subs. Also, remember that this couple has more sources of income than just YouTube revenue. There are surely some YouTube engineers

The number of active astronauts though is a lot lower than the number of active YouTubers with a lot of subscribers. Also, 10M subscribers is a lot. One of my favorite YouTube channels has about 1M subscribers. https://social

I dunno. Being an astronaut doesn't sound much better when you put it reductively. "Astronaut" doesn't mean "space adventurer" at all. Most of the time is spent in training and classes on the ground. Moreover,

Some of the accusations are pretty thin too, this one included. Last I checked, Google doesn't make money off of organic Google Maps results, except inasmuch as Maps acts as a halo product. What exactly is Google supposed to do here? A

This raised the question in my mind: is the author being dishonest, or does he just have a different perspective and different values than me? Or alternately, have I not thought through my own values sufficiently to see that I should expect

I don't see any ads on my W10 machine and I haven't done anything to disable them. Where are you seeing this?
