Although I can appreciate the comparison in terms of amount of money in each, I don't know there is tremendous waste in all three, or that the source of expense is the same in all three. What they do have in common is being seen as ind

Is it really true that in a world of perfect competition profits would be competed away? It depends on what you mean by "perfect," but I always assumed there would still be differences in skills, access to certain resources, and w

Pijul is also described as distributed, although that's not the same as Sanakirja itself.

What's missing from the matrix is "no language" language or null language. That is, a column and row that represents people who start projects from scratch in a given language. I agree that the analysis makes it abundantly cl

After thinking about this, I think you're probably right, along with a gradual declining of standards about caramelization. I've made caramelized onions multiple times, watching over them for long periods of time. At some point se

So... I drink a lot of tea every day. I own this kettle, which was given to me as a gift. I had thought about getting an electric kettle, but then decided on the Sori Yanagi (the gifter found out about this). I had the same reaction as the

Your intuition is assuming that rates would increase because mutations enter the general population and then spread through that population at some possibly small rate. However, the prevailing genetic explanation for increases in autism pre

I'm someone who sees Snowden as a whistleblower rather than criminal. Of course he did damage to the US, but to me that was really ultimately the result of blowback due to the US's own practices. If the US is engaging in unethical

The next step, assuming that the ISPs start moving away from net neutrality in an egregious way, is for the EFF to sue them for criminal negligence in cases of child pornography. ISPs can't have their cake and eat it too.

The FCC under Pai could start by starting to support local municipal broadband efforts. That wouldn't solve the problem, but it would be a start. This wouldn't get anywhere in the US in the current climate, but I think it's t

I agree about the zero rating thing being ok to most people, but my guess is the FCC was trying to walk a line clearly and didn't want to create any grey areas. Net neutrality means net neutrality means net neutrality and so forth. The

I'm in a similar position thinking about going back to school, but I admit I'm confused about the question, because the programs I've looked at won't consider masters' students unless they have a bachelor's in

I always liked the Boost model (if I'm thinking of the right library), where things aren't just open source, but where there's some expectation of active peer review. I'm not sure how to incentivize peer review, but that

This is a bit within the realm of my research, so I feel confident about commenting: yes, it's possible. There might be a catch-22 in that the people who would be most resilient are probably those who would be least concerned about the

The counterissue to standards being higher (which might or might not be true) is that programs are ramming students through at a faster rate. They're reducing and compressing course and theory and pushing them out into clinical setting

This seems more ominous to me than it normally would... All this sort of thing worldwide makes me wonder why there isn't more of an exponential growth in movement to decentralized or federated platforms. It's definitely seen a lot

Thanks for the links--I wasn't aware of these resources. I do research in a neighboring domain, and have sort of dabbled in these sorts of datasets before, with a tiny bit of ML-ish research on different topics. It's an area I&#x2

Not disagreeing with you, but the replication crisis is happening everywhere, especially in the biomedical sciences. In fact, analyses have suggested it may be worse in certain fields, like cognitive neuroscience (whether or not you consid

Too much attention has been placed on polling predictors. It wasn't just polling that was off, it was other predictors as well. PollyVote, for examples, aggregates over many different types of predictors, and non-polling predictors sti

I admit this is confusing to me, but the premise of this makes no sense to me. It seems that the sale should still require some vote on the part of the identified shareholders on whether or not to sell. Isn't this basically saying that

The font is great. This is a situation where I think if they had just focused on a new font, the right font, it would have been perfect. Instead, they pushed it too far in my opinion, with the overly clever glyph replacement. This seems lik

I think the last part is where some of the misunderstandings come in. For example, just yesterday I was reading an article showing that people are likely to make naming mistakes involving things from the same category. So if you mistakenly

Nice to see someone reapproaching the question of "why MCMC?" You don't really need it to do Bayesian inference, although it might seem that way nowadays. It brings up good arguments for using MCMC, although they're no

The article is weird but also interesting to me at the same time. My background is in more traditional statistical modeling. The adversarial networks paradigm is really fascinating to me because it's a new way to think about model fit

My only explanation is that a certain segment of voters is willing to overlook them if they consolidate power in their ideological favor. Party control at all costs, and the more control the better. I really don't understand how the cu

This was almost my own reaction. I don't know how time and time again, blame goes everywhere but the providers and the system in place that ensures their almost sole authority. It's puzzling to me how drug regulation persists in t
