He's probably right that there are much more effective ways to focus resources & energy, but you'd have to believe that markets and elasticity don't exist to believe the impact is zero. If you reduce the pool of investors

The land of the free, where the government decides what adults can with their own bodies. I'm all for taking new steps to reduce the troubling increase in teen use of nicotine. Also, cigarettes should not be nearly so cheap: they shoul

I would probably organize it like a big game of infection tag. You start with one or a few people who are tagged, but each person who's found becomes tagged as well, and becomes a searcher. When you find somebody, you scan a QR code on

You didn't exactly say this, but Pizzagate was not a big joke. Like the Flat Earth Society, many of its originators may have thought of it as a joke or rhetorical exercise, but a lot of people got genuinely pulled into it.

You do this with a proper understanding of statistical power, and you report "no conclusion" when you don't have studies of adequate power. This is not actually a terribly difficult problem with a proper understanding of Baye

Scientific American should be embarrassed to have published this. This is textbook pseudoscience: cherry-picking evidence to support a position that you're already predisposed to believe. This doesn't mean it's necessarily wr

It wasn't an attack on her ideas. It was an ad hominem attack: he called her a gender-coded name that reduces her to a piece of anatomy in a starkly vulgar way. People do this to women all the time, and they don't do it to men in

Counterpoint: you used Twitter to publish aggressively misogynist language, and by leaving it up, you continued to distribute hateful material. If Twitter is going to police hate speech, this the right kind of content, and "it was a wh

The standard of "substantial similarity" in copyright law depends not on how an expert would see things, but on how a reasonable average person would see things. Juries are not perfect, but a jury of random people is probably the

The VC isn't exactly wrong about this. If you want a valuation in the hundreds of millions or billions, your goal is to figure out how to grow fast and capture defensible territory in a market. Profit is less important than growth—as l

I think we have pretty good evidence in recent years that this is not how things really work. Those filters and algorithmic steering just provides a way to keep people in their bubble. What you’re describing is basically what YouTube was: a

Do you have a cite for that? I'm skeptical that there are a lot of "I don't know you, have some free drugs" organized loss-leader operations happening. I suspect this is actually mostly propaganda and exaggeration, and t

You may have seen ten thousand dollars in cash and not even realized it. If you stack $100 bills, it's less than half an inch before you hit ten thousand dollars. It's pretty unobtrusive. Addition: if you've ever seen them ge

In my reading of this, I wouldn't say they "recommend" it, but that they recommend considering it. Their link is quite clear that HTML 5 makes these tags optional and gives an unambiguous mapping onto the traditional structur

If you're not Dijkstra, Hoare, Knuth or a principal contributor to the language's design, I would refrain from "considered (harmful|anti-pattern|…)." It's hyperbolic and frames your position in a way that's lik
