I hope you see that this is a problem? Why is our society incapable of doing the right thing when there is a market failure?

Yeah, I think my initial comment missed that part of the equation. It isn't straight racism that's driving the differential response as it is indirect racism by way of inequality. The net effect ends up amounting to the same thing

Now that the opioid crisis is a problem for white people, science makes an appearance in the policy discussion. Contrast to the crack epidemic in the 80s: fuck'em, throw them all in prison. Edit to add: I wish the best of luck to those

Remember kids: the administration doesn't care if you blow your brains out -- they just care that you don't do it on campus. There's a reason I always told people to seek help off campus.

It boggles my mind when people think they can out-talk people trained to parse semantics.

Ah, bumping. The kids on flyertalk were all over this.

I'm not. But they do occasionally come over and ask me what I'm doing. When they do, I explain.

Blue sky laws exist for a reason. Go ahead and google the term.

Americans tend to look down on anyone who has a doctorate from anywhere in Europe that isn't Oxford or Cambridge. I'm not sure it's justified, but there you go.

This is generally why I think it's a good idea for undergraduates to get a couple of years of work experience in before returning for their PhDs: the experience of grinding out work that you really don't want to be doing is saluta

You're sailing through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the busiest shipping channels in the world. There isn't a shooting war underway, but you are within range of Iranian cruise missiles and naval craft. It's not exactly war, b

Peace can turn into war very quickly indeed, so my understanding is that the Navy prefers to err on the side of caution.

Active detection measures like radar and sonar are out, because they give the ship's position and capabilities. Your minivan doesn't have these concerns.

by kchoudhu 9y ago
Using radar gives away your position and radar capabilities. For this reason, most active navigation measures are (almost) never used on naval ships.

Momentum on a 8000 ton ship is a hell of a thing. By the time collision alarms are in play, you're already screwed.

Learned this the hard way when we moved abroad for a few months and wanted to get our American Netflix on. No biggie, now we VPN into my home and use that connection to check out US Netflix: their blocking is entirely IP-based.

Routing traffic through a VPN should circumvent this malarkey, right?

I recommend anything other than Sedgwick for algorithms and data structures. I damned near didn't touch a computer for two years after being forced to trudge through his books in college.

Doesn't seem to be phasing internet financiers: they're all in on this issue on Reddit. Shorts take note: Tesla has access to dumb capital that you haven't necessarily factored into your models.

Starting with 12MM[1] in 2004, what you are effectively suggesting is that 1 in 15 Bangladeshis has left India in the last decade[2]. Come on: outside of Superpower 2030 memes, the grass isn't that green in India, and I'd like t

I keep hearing that 20 million number in every thread about Indian migration, and I can never find anything to back it up.

The intention is to extract value from your unoccupied home without irritating the neighbors/running a tenement.

There's no way a 4BR/3B house in Las Vegas (Summerlin, to be exact) is going for 1500 a week. Nice try, though.

Actually, the cocktail is more than likely free. The sterility of airport lounges is also HIGHLY questionable.
