Dozens? More like thousands. School districts tend to fall along city or county lines, and there are around 3000 local government units in the US. Cut that in half to guesstimate the number of school districts, and you’re still in the thous

TL;DR: It's Sci-Hub FUD.

No, I don’t care about evidence for something so simple with such a low burden. If you want to fund the research on this, be my guest, and I’ll gladly incorporate it into my view.

You mean which human rights would I suggest they respect? All of them, of course. My guess is that my definition of “human rights” is more expansive than your own.

I don’t think there’s quite enough information in the article to fully evaluate it. Depending on what the precise requirements are, what this “evaluation panel” involves, and how long the panel can take to make a decision, you could certain

Yes. The government hasn't done nearly enough in this crisis.

No, it isn't. There's a reasonable belief that droplets from screaming could aerosolize and get spread to others on the ride. Given that, it makes sense to implement such a near zero cost measure that has literally no potential

How else would you propose to indicate to people that there's no screaming on the rides?

by pmiller2 6y ago
Who cares if it's a science-based decision? It's a near zero cost measure that requires no real effort to implement. This isn't about shutting down outdoor dining. Edit: I guess nobody understands cost benefit analysis here

No, it's not a lie at all. The idea is they would put up the signs when they reopen, then probably take them down when they're no longer required. This whole thing is a temporary measure.

That’s living in a 2BR apartment by myself, eating well, and having a bit of fun here and there.

I can live at my current spending level in the Bay Area for 3-ish years on $125k. In my small, Midwest hometown, I’m sure I could stretch that to 6-8 years. The disadvantage, of course, would be living in a podunk town in the middle of nowh

I wonder if maybe you're not being taken the right way in this thread. I've personally had a few experiences with professors, both in undergrad and grad school, in which I found them hard to understand because of their accents. R

I don’t know. Have you seen the locations of some academic conferences?

That’s just asking users to moderate themselves.

That’s not designing failure into a product. That’s designing a product so that when it does, it fails in specific ways. The latter is just good product design and engineering; the former is what’s arguably unethical.

As someone who remembers very little of the German he took in college, I’d like to mention that I’m amused that a kettle is literally a “water cooker” ( Wasserkocher ) in German.

Planned obsolescence is also a factor. See, for example, the Phoebus cartel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel Other examples abound. The modern version of planned obsolescence is corporations using the DMCA

I see I’m not the only one who jumped straight to “lithium fire” upon reading the headline.

Probably not. Nitrogen is roughly the same density as air. It would just get dispersed into the atmosphere before it could do much, unless you had insane amounts of it.

Yes, absolutely. Any traumatic situation or event can cause PTSD. I don’t think it’s in doubt that some people find their startup experience to be traumatic in some way.

How many were white before the Rooney rule?

by pmiller2 6y ago
Well, I am tall, white, at least average looking, and fairly charming via text, and I still don't have an amazing response rate.

I'd say generally not, unless there's some sort of social event in the evening.

Yeah, I'd like to know exactly why that is.

Tech certainly does have a diversity problem, by which I mean lack of diversity actually works to the detriment of tech companies. Yes, from the POV of companies who are hiring, this is largely a pipeline problem. No, tech companies aren&

Is it any better or worse than "Sorry, it's just not working out?" I've seen this happen a few times.

Yes, and that is the finding of the actual paper. The kicker is that the movie method takes less time overall and less therapist involvement than the other two techniques tested. I wish people could get past whining about how this isn’t a r

I agree. I have full confidence that I, a literal nobody in academia, could theoretically write a mathematical paper, submit it to an appropriate journal, and have it accepted if it were correct and good enough. I don't know for sure
