Interesting work, but it reminds me of the famous "Could a biologist fix a radio?" paper [1]. The paper imagines biologists trying to determine what parts of a radio are essential using a similar trial and error technique. As you

They're the same thing, give or take a minus sign... right?

I interpreted the parent comment differently. To me, people who "show up" are those who are present, engaged, and making an effort to succeed in good faith. People who "hand in the work" are those who get stuff done, may

Does China actually have that many fabs? I used to work in the semi industry and I never heard of anyone going to China for customer support, even for older tech. Taiwan and Korea led the industry.

When I was in grad school I think most people were aware of how tough it is to get a tenure track faculty position. Many students had no aspiration of going into academia and planned to go directly to industry. This was in mechanical engine

I've always thought coaches were far too conservative by never going for 2 and punting on almost every third down. There's actually a high school coach that starting using a more aggressive strategy. They never punt and always ons

I agree that having different forms of communication is useful. Phone/SMS is more personal, partly because I only give my number to those I want to contact me. I use my email for personal communication as well but I also use it to sign up f

So can MATLAB. a = [10 5 9 6 20 7]; slice = a([1 2 4 7]); I guess it's not called matrix laboratory for nothing.

I think you miss the point a bit, but I admit it's a bit long so I don't blame you for not reading it all. Mediation is just one of the author's guesses at what free market law might look like. The first half of the article addresses the fa

Many of us do follow the logic to its necessary conclusion. We don't assume criminals will magically disappear, we just would like law and order to be provided by the free market. See below before you dismiss it as impossible. http://facul

Interesting ideas but I think his physics examples aren't all that great. Last time I looked, Euclidean geometry matched the world as I know it. The world that I can see and touch is Euclidean for all practical purposes, so I think it makes
