Check out GILTI - a 10 year retroactive tax that the US hit me (and all expats who own small businesses) with. A retroactive double tax, at that.

This article is not about px versus em At best, this is a tangent because the author used px as an example.

There is a lot of reflect on in this comment, if you care to do the work. You are mistaking your personal preference for a certain style of food for the "western norm" which is obviously not correct because you also exclude the Fr

I think many would disagree - I have never found that capsaicin heat detracts from the other flavors. Indeed, if you look at reviews for even extremely hot sauces, you will often see complaints about the ones that rely only on heat, and do

It makes sense if you consider your company sending you propaganda to be additional information relevant to whether you can trust them, and so you review your decision, which is a perfectly rational response.

Yeah, it was funny to see a complaint about the flash of unstyled content on a plain text page that needed a loading screen, too. That said, I can't argue with the conclusion, SVG is a better choice.

Lockdowns do not destroy the economy. Anti-maskers destroy the economy, by decreasing the effectiveness of lockdowns, and making them a chronic rather than acute necessity.

While is is a good (and often discussed) point that the use of metrics causes distortions as the metrics themselves affect behavior, I am not sure that the author's proposed solution of relying instead on intuition is an improvement. W

Neither you nor the OP have provided a reasonable example of a model which is less predictive and also more "true." the OPs analogy has been discussed to death here, and yours is explicitly of a model which is in fact more predict

It's a bit late to reply, but I do think that would be a win, if not as great a win as using the money elsewhere.

Rarely have I read an article with such a perfect balance between a premise I agree with an examples I do not. But I think this illustrates something important: what constitutes a context switch is not universal. It depends on what parts of

Whether you agree with it or not, the purpose is to remove funds from police, which many believe is a positive outcome. Look at police budgets, how that money is spent, how it affects communities to have 60-80% of their tax money go to poli

Absolutely, where that occured, and unlike Trump, both Facebook and Twitter has no problem suspending and removing accounts of BLM advocates when they made calls for violence.

You are imagining this situation from the perspective of already having a more powerful / general model and looking backwards, so it seems obvious. But that is not how things work. Without data to support it, you can imagine all kinds

I did some playing with this a while back, taking a different approach. I wanted all windows to have the same aspect ratio, and all to be the same size except for (optionally) one "selected" window which would be bigger by some fa

Yup: Make the site worse, fill it with fluff that Google wants, hide the actual useful thing you are doing.

The central thesis of the article is supported mostly by the argument "Yeah, it is dude." Ignoring the weakness of the analogy, there is a reason science is "about models" and not about truth: We can measure and test mod

Acknowledging is not addressing, and in this case the statement amounts to "they realize this: ... (they would not realize this)." It is either too flawed to make the point intended, or illustrates a flaw in the underlying argumen

Google maps also gives dangerous directions in several places in Iceland, directing traffic over old mountain roads that save a kilometer or two but take much longer because they are poorly maintained. It also makes no note of closed roads,

I would be more interested to see a study on whether there is a correlation between violent video games and police violence.

Realistically, it does not matter whether you apply for citizenship for not. All the same regulations will apply to you, including the exit tax, as a green card holder.

A lot of people in this discussion are unaware of the scope of the difficulty and dismissive of the extent of the problem. While the article focuses on the plight of "accidental Americans," the burdens they face are the same faced

...the people with the strongest investment in that line of thinking are those with the biggest desire to manipulate the public Do you have any evidence of this? It seems to be a position that is extremely vulnerable to confirmation bias.

I know the politicians are mistaken because it was my job to predict which people will become billionaires. This does not follow. You could just as easily argue that this means you are bad at predicting billionaires. YC is 8 for 1000 in t

The author spent significant time explaining why they chose to address that livejournal excerpt, and the context in which they were addressing it. They did not present speculation as fact, they presented facts (historical information, photo

More to the point, for the software solution, you have to trust the user to actually do the encryption and to use a strong passphrase.

It has not been forgotten by anyone. This election has gone much like every election in recent history: Once enough of the vote was counted to make the outcome clear, the media has projected a winner based on the results in each state and t
