My suggestion was to 1) not use any data or algorithms, or 2) use an objective algorithm to figure out if poor white males with criminal records but with a new child are likely to be repeat violent offenders. I did not suggest to use a sing

My main issue with this algorithm is that it purports to predict THE DEFENDANT'S actual risk to the community. That's impossible to do. Instead, it seems like it should provide data-centric trends based on objective data and metri

Hypothetically, what if someone developed a paradigm-shifting quantum computer that was able to near-instantaneously compute solutions and mint BTC for some finite amount of time? Would those BTC be invalid? Would the mining community say t

Yea, with a 0.001 BTC (~$1.42) minimum, this 100x100 pixel pilot could generate $14,200 if all pixels are colored and no pixels are contested. If it scales, in both pixels and interest, a decent amount of donations could be generated. That

This is what they used to do with the venerable Mac Pro tower, built as recently as Mid 2012. The heavy gauge aluminum construction was a work of art. People pick up Mac Pro G5 shells and use them to build tables, benches, etc. I am hoping

Do these benefits translate to other outdoor activities? Jogging, cycling, etc.? I seem to achieve this sort of mental clarity when I'm on an open-ended recovery ride. Training days, however, are probably too regimented and my focus is

It boggles my mind how many people in Dallas are in the $5-50MM net worth range. I am smack in the middle of that range and feel quite unremarkable.

Same problem here. On the first page visit, it loaded to 3,XXX,XXX,XXX of 4.543 billion years and froze. On refresh, it doesn't load a damn thing. I am using up-to-date Chrome.

It's the trend line generation, not the data. The start and end points are the same between the two graphs. To say that this nitpick throws shade on the entire project is a bit overstated.

It's unfortunate that anti-spam strategies introduce so many inefficiencies into our daily lives, from developers to end users.

> Nobody wants politicians to decide what we can and cannot do with our money. This seems like an essentially true statement, but a substantial majority of evidence points to the contrary.

The problem is, people still inexplicably think that they are delegating this representation to people who actually care or who are bound by some type of moral code which mandates acting in the person's best interests. How has this bas

There is a difference between oversight and control. Maintaining market inefficiencies to the detriment of consumers, simply for the sake of maintaining status quo and profit allocation to the establishment, goes beyond mere regulation.

External political oversight* is one thing. Control is another. There is a trend of legislature propping up broken industries to the detriment of the people. Take the dealer network argument for example. Dealers argue that the existence of

Because lobbying is almost always 1) more effective and 2) less expensive than developing and implementing business processes which result in actual change. It is easier to pay off a handful of politicians to legislate maintenance of status

You're not understanding how the power meter works. Nor did I say that a power meter can be applied to every possible workout or piece of equipment. In your ankle weight scenario, the added weight would, in effect, cancel out. You&#x27

A trained cyclist is roughly 25% efficient, and 1 kCal = 4.184 kJ. The power meter precisely measures kJ. The end result is a near 1:1 ratio between kCal burned and kJ measured. Sure, the power meter under reports total expenditure. For exa

AR is the primary use case I see going forward, and live-feed-augmented VR is really just an extension of AR.

Agreed, I feel your exact pain with Visio. They should have this for all UNICODE characters, too. There are web services that attempt to do this, but they fail pretty miserably.

I bet the only security measure was that it was a local machine accessing the database, or a machine within a specific IP block allocated to the prison network.
