Please research the economic literature on wealth taxes. There are numerous problems with it, too many to discuss in a comment.

I read the study you linked and it did not say that the SAT was a poor measure of performance? What it did say was that in isolation, the SAT score was worse than GPA, but the overall best predictor was a combination of SAT and GPA. I think

No. Data classes are a mutable replacement for collections.namedtuple.

I'm a little disgusted with these lawsuits. The preponderance of scientific evidence is on the side of Monsanto (gag): Roundup isn't carcinogenic. The one study that is significant to these cases from the IARC has numerous statist

On the contrary it will be extremely effective at keeping 95% of the Chinese population ignorant of Wikipedia.

That seems optimistic. I have zero reason to believe anything will replace Java or C# anytime soon. Anecdotally, but in my area I have seen almost zero job postings for Go.

Garbage collection is a big productivity boost. That's why Java killed C++ to begin with in the enterprise space. You can't go backwards in that sense.

I think you're using the word "alt-right" wrong. When other people use it, they're talking about the people who marched in Charlottesville, and lurk on freerepublic and Stormfront. A free nation for a certain pale skin t

That sounds terrible. The law isn't cut and dry like that: it's interpreted by judges, who are legal experts. You're basically making contracts extremely risky to use for their intended purpose, or at least any contract that

This is pretty neat! The next step: create an array of common-clocked RTL-SDRs connected to patch antennas, and mount them on a rail. Use beamforming techniques so you don't have to manually wand the device. Connect an antenna to a sig

Do you not find problems in simulation? I used to do modeling in Ansys and CST Microwave Studio, and found them to be fairly accurate.

Every company with valuable data is interested in computer security. I have never seen a shortage of positions for qualified candidates. AI has way too much hype behind it. Deep learning is not the best solution for most business data probl

Even if part of the spectrum is unlicensed, you're still bound by power limits.

It's not just the Valley, it's also the model of traditional schooling. The majority of classroom time in many places is spent sitting quietly and listening to a teacher lecture. Of course we all understand why school is run this

This article was pretty light on substantial criticism of the program. I suppose the most significant was the girl with epilepsy who was advised not to look at computer screens more than 30 minutes a day. That's definitely unfortunate.

Yes, but in particular I'm referring to the problem of the mentally ill not taking their medication.

Can we? The severely mentally ill, those with willful medication noncompliace and/or violent psychotic episodes, what do you propose we do with them? It's well known that many of them lack the self-awareness to even realize they a

Same way you evaluate developers. Say you are a manager at a company who needs to hire somebody to develop an application for you. You aren't technical. You have no idea if you need the thing the consultant is saying you need. So you c

Not that I disagree, but the majority of health care expenses are not time-critical emergencies. I saw a statistic somewhere where it's around 15%?

Not a solved problem, GPS is too inaccurate for interferometry. The problem is you want to do correlations between radio signals; consider a 1 GHz signal, which has a 30 centimeter wavelength. Error compounds as you integrate longer and lon

The very general rule of thumb is anything greater than 10 MHz switching frequency. To get an accurate answer requires physical stimulation, or "build it and see if it works or not".

Yeah. I've experienced this working to project deadlines at several jobs. Like everything else, "crunch" and "pair programming" are good in small doses for getting productivity. I couldn't handle it long-term.

I've had McDonald's in multiple continents, and FWIW, they taste quite consistently good no matter where you are. The homogeneity of their global supply chain is actually pretty amazing. Also I'm glad I couldn't go a sto

Utility is maximized for society as a whole when the workforce grows. However, my utility is not equal to society's. In fact, selfishly speaking, I would be better off if h1b was shut down, licensure roles introduced, etc etc.

That's the problem, current MRI's are like taking high-def pictures in raw format 1 pixel at a time. There's loads of redundant information in the raw image encoding. If there was some way to only image the information we nee

Whenever I read a technical overview like this, I like to see references to existing literature. This report doesn't do this, see for example https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/11541868_7 which is basi

I mean, it's also not the case that labor markets are immune to supply and demand. As always, the answer is somewhere in the middle.

Not well enough to do reliably do missile tracking, just enough to get an idea that yes, there is an object out there in the atmosphere. "Dumb" methods like TDOA / FDOA have quite bad limitations on resolution. Multistatic pa
