You would certainly have to sit down with numbers and equations, but that still doesn’t automatically imply that a textbook is the best way. You can derive numbers and equations via an app for example. My question is this: if you always had

Is following along and learning / practicing math directly from a textbook still the most effective way to learn math? Now that we have devices in our pockets and on our desktops with more and more capabilities that have educational us

One thing to note is that even without this virus many economics still thought we would be heading into a recession this year. The underlying causes of that prediction would still exist (if not worsen) after we have hit the peak of this vir

Except that Wuhan is at the same latitude as Texas. You also failed to mention Washington, which was the site of the first outbreak in the US, and is about as north as you can go and still remain in the union, excluding Alaska. Washington c

That’s like saying we shouldn’t use the theory of gravity to explain why objects drop because it doesn’t hold at the speed of light. Well, it’s a fundamental theory for a reason, and it holds up a whole lot of the time in practice. You don’

Agreed. As I understand it, Dyson’s ventilators are ready for scaled production. Maybe they can begin to collaborate with others down the road, but time was essential, and they were clearly able to get these out without a lot of unnecessary

I guess it depends on the Costco. Since before this thing was declared a pandemic my Costco was already handing out wipes at the entrance for people to wipe down their carts with and had a table with hand sanitizer for us to use. The first

My apologies. Misunderstood your statement. I would still say that having stockpiles of PPE is good management. My sister is a nurse and she had been complaining about having to find gloves last year, long before there even was a crisis. So

This isn’t a remote possibility. The California wildfires were real. People were wearing N95 masks last year due to the wildfires. There was even a famous article about a couple who had their engagement pictures taken wearing N95 masks due

This assumes that people have infinite money, infinite demand, infinite space, and infinite time. But there are diminishing marginal returns. Check your local retailers today and see if they’re still sold out of toilet paper.

China offered us lower prices, and the lower prices were great. But right now China isn’t selling us those low priced masks. And we do not need China to produce masks. We know from basic economic theory that there are manufacturers who woul

Losing “water weight” is a thing. Boxers do it as part of their weight management before their weigh-ins. When I am well-hydrated I lose ~1.5 lbs of water weight just by sleeping (by weighing myself before bed and right when I wake up). If

Can I get a reason why not? I’ll start. I think it would be a mistake because if you have LEO who are disarmed, then criminals may be emboldened and LEO wouldn’t be able to defend themselves in the situations where they need to do so. We ca
