I don't think you even read the quotes you posted, let alone the whole article. How does the second one you posted not meet your criteria? You also missed one. a study just out from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that

I think so. I've followed the back and forth on a few papers on openreview.net and I found the comments nearly as interesting and informative as the paper they were commenting on. There are a lot of things that only exist as suspicions

It's interesting work, but I don't think it's relevant to real world models, because real world models violate the conditions they assume at the outset. Namely, real models are not run until anything near convergence on the t

If you were curious about the reference to MinHash in the OP, I just wrote a gentle guide to the MinHash family of algorithms (including our recent research extending it to probability distributions.) https://moultano.wordpress.c

We will have to adapt, even if we mobilize to remake the entire energy economy. It is too late to prevent a lot of warming from occurring. If we do nothing however, we are headed for things we cannot adapt to. The worst case is not rising s

I'm surprised to find no mention of SES or income in the article. There can be similar Simpson's paradox effects within racial groups between states (for instance, Iowa might have more low SES white people than Texas). I would hav

The same people who don't want apartments also don't want infrastructure. If you want the political support for transit to exist, you have to have people voting who live in apartments, which means you need to build apartments. An

If the side streets are currently faster than the congested highway that's true. I'm talking about situations where it isn't, where the fixed cost of stoplights and speed limits ensures it they will never actually be faster t

I believe this paradox applies to any congested highway with a robust network of side streets around it. If everyone could agree to take side streets for half of their trip, the side streets could easily absorb the extra traffic without slo

I know settling to the sea floor is the intended result, but locking up more carbon in the steady state biomass of creatures would do the trick too. If we did this continuously could we just grow the biosphere?
