That's an assumption. I have my concealed carry card. I can/ do/ and would continue protect myself. Other people can do the same without resorting to hiring. There's also a long history of self protection without the us

eh, at least with Pinkerton PIs they are not literally on the same payroll as prosecutors and judges. There can be a little daylight between them. Maybe I'm part of that "capital class", I'm not sure what that means exac

Reduce or eliminate entirely? I'd advocate for the latter.

MSFT is not private, it's public. It's responsibility is to create value for the shareholders. Part of that deal is to hire the best talent.

I think colloquially, lay people may not know the ontological origins of the word but when they use the word "proof" they mean it as some indisputable fact. At least most people I know use it in that manner.

One thing that grates on me is when people say science "proves" X. Or and A/B test "proves" Y. Science never proves anything, it provides evidence for the existence of some phenomenon or relationship. People need to

I think cheap money expands the economy unsustainably. When you can't make any interest by saving people look for higher ROI via investing. I think in those climates VC money comes cheap, finances unsustainable business models, those b

one component you overlooked is the cheap cost of money, in the form of low interest rates, juicing the economy for the past decade+.

I wonder what product decisions the EU will make for Apple next. Maybe Tim Cook should just hire them. Imagine that first conversation: [Apple Employee]: What other great product ideas do you have for Apple? [Legislator]: BRING BACK MY HEAD

we have that, an "independent judiciary".

Are you suggesting these sorts of injuries are "run-of-the-mill" for bicycle training and that this is a non-story?

The government has been shaping public opinion though traditional news media for some time, look at all the "ex" government employees employed as "analysts" at MSCBC, CNN, etc. Since they can't inject talentless tal

I'm sure this has to do with audiobook rights. Probably the same thing with music, you need the rights to stream music in each country separately.

Classic Red Herring logical fallacy. What's happening in Russia is in no way relevant to the arguments about government murder and the dissolution of the purported "rule of law" in the USA presented in the piece. This is a di

This diversity stuff comes from the very top, when I was doing my PhD the three most productive (and published) grad students and post docs were a few white and chinese guys. But every grant I proofread from my advisor extolled the "di

That is only so helpful if you've already rotted in prison for 20yrs.

If we are only free from "draconian" action when it's convenient for the elites then we are not really ever free from "draconian" action. The first thing china did was lockdowns and masks, we did exactly what the au

I think we need to remember this is just the first time this guy got caught, how many previous defendants are now imprisoned because he tipped the scales of "justice" by destroying exculpatory evidence? The problem is structural a

I'm not really sure I agree Uber was "built" by cab drivers, but for the sake of argument, sure, but what's the alternative? The subway has way more crime.

Yes companies and people should disobey the law more often, we should all strive to minimize the effects of government control and coercion enabling us to lead our lives as we see fit for the short time we're on earth. For me, I'm

Yes humans communicate using "words". Nothing is ever "proven" in science since there is always an arbitrarily complex hypothesis than can explain captured data. Instead, the weight of evidence is considered. Anyway it s

You change the position and identity of the atoms in your model until there is very little residual electron density left remaining.

In my experience it's always been easier both growing and solving organometallic compounds. Borrowing the phase from previously solved structures is trivial for organometallic compounds which simplifies the density modeling while the f

The X-ray I used was "in house". The OP didn't mention what the X-ray source used was so the absence of mentioning "sufficiently strong" isn't proof.

Growing high quality crystals of Organometallic compounds is easier than many other disciplines in chemistry, orders of magnitude easier than proteins, as an comparison.

I published a number of crystal structures using a powerful X ray diffractor and high quality crystals where H density was both found and modeled. Modeling H density in and of itself is in no way a sign of fake data, it is just a rare occur

It wouldn't matter if it was "somebody's fault." In a two tier society like the US (the govt class vs the productive class) the government class protects their own with made up legal doctrine like "qualified immunit
