So you think a debt purchase is blindongly obvious example of bribery? Then it should be easy to explain how it is bribery.

So the crypto currency people who support Trump aren't progressive or does it only count as the progress is in a direction you like? If this is an unprecedented constitutional crisis as so many keep claiming, how is that 'conserva

That is still talking about particulate counts, not health effects (the article does one study linking a particular constituent to salmon health effects.)

I think the article linked the wrong article? Because the article describes the linked study as "researchers grew human lung cells in a lab and exposed them to dust from car brakes and from diesel tailpipes", but the linked study

From other discussion in that thread, it does appear that most maintainers are employed by companies to work on Linux. That doesn't mean that all the work these maintainers do is paid, as there are also comments indicating that many of

The president can extend the deadline by up to 90 if certain conditions are met. You can argue if those conditions were met, but to argue that Trump had no legal authority to do with without even mentioning the 90 extension provided for by

The argument is not to never use JS. The argument is that you shouldn't unnecessarily use JS in a way that breaks core functionality if it is disabled. There is no actual need solved by using client side include to load a nav bar. Doin

The framing of this whole article is weird. Zhang is put forward as some kind of example of the favourable treatment Tesla is getting in the courts and how Tesla is silencing critics. Yet she was wrong about the cause of the accident and di

I think you should take the time to understand why this explanation matters. It reveals some important things about how people can make mistakes with statistics. Not understanding something doesn't make it "cope".

I don't think "motivation of the host" is a great way to accurately describe the issue that Diaconis is calling out, it is rather intended to be more intuitive. In a precise way, the reason the question is underspecified is

The article interviews a family with kids and a car-free area is a great location for an elderly person who can still take care of themselves other than driving (many elderly people end up driving well after it is no longer safe.)
