I think it’s unbiased to say that Jan 6 was about Trump more than any other person. No matter how you pore over his speech, he’s purposefully unclear about what “we” means and how the “fight” should start. No one analyzed the speech in real

I watched the video a few times. I don’t think Trump himself would object to the edit. But I’m sure that, if he had to explain that speech or Jan 6, it would be damaging. So this is really about what he wants with the lawsuit.

Specific to this politician, right and wrong don’t matter. The one skill he’s sharpened his entire life is bad faith litigation. Once he threatened to sue, BBC needed some gesture that, in court, would demonstrate contrition.

I’m not sure Trump himself would object to this edit. So-far, he’s benefitted by not reliving Jan 6 or explaining that speech. As of now (early afternoon GMT) he’s threatened to sue but it’s not clear on what grounds, or if it’s simply part

Traditionally, you spend a lot of effort on clear broth. You can, toward the end, add egg white only to remove it once it accumulates protein from the broth.

In particular, West Virginia was a high fertility rate state during the baby boom, among those. Maybe Vermont, too.

There’s also a large tax credit for adoption costs. I wonder if GP comment would result in more births, or something like H1B arrangements for personal tax reasons.

We adopted. So many things today are in opposition to Christ’s teachings. The politicization of helping the poor. The individual reaction to problems by wanting so much wealth that those problems don’t apply to me . Adoption is costly but

Only in the middle classes does opportunity cost come in. Today, the wealthiest and the poorest have beyond-replacement fertility. Race becomes a factor in America, but the only group of women with higher fertility in the middle class are f

I think you’d lose that bet. Women die in childbirth regularly. And it’s not birth control but our stratospheric advances against infant mortality that most strongly influence population dynamics.

On the other end, the wealthiest have high fertility as well. What have the middle classes concluded about their prospects with and without children?

This is not true. In the west, the wealthiest do have higher fertility. https://ifstudies.org/blog/more-money-more-babies-whats-the-...

In crypto, the phrase is “early q-day”, meaning that certain protocols are presently unprepared for what a quantum advantage against elliptic curves would look like. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35993479

We had a lack of (digital images of) training cases in emergency surgery. You’d prefer to give ML experience with many rare cases, but must resort to style transfer. Humans can do this, but variously problematic and you’re taking them away

That’s our definition of a process: when your objective is well-defined, a process is guaranteed to succeed. Not everything is a process. And sometimes people mistake what the desired success must be. For example, a piece of surgical equipm

Yet false arrests without probable cause are happening. The limits on this are being tested on real people. For some voters, those are the right people to test it on.

To be more specific, ICE will be scanning the lines to vote, and pulling people out. In some states, poll watchers will be there to say, “no, you don’t have to go with them”. In other states, poll watchers will also be scanning.

It’s ironic that it’s brave to uncover your face, it’s brave to verify your identity, but these officers’ policy actively avoids the brave choice. Then, we’re supposed to accept that they’re operating in war zones like Portland.

Yeah I don’t agree with that quoted. If you experiment with replying to emails by hand, you’ll practically avoid long threads. If you experiment with avoiding as much typing as possible by allowing an AI substitute, you’ll probably end up e

Take the list of wine uploaded to a chatbot. Hasn’t the seller already run his supplier’s list through the same chatbot as you? Shouldn’t the efficiency be most noticeable in jobs that have 75 different tasks; none of which is important-eno

Don’t be so hard on yourself, truly. What if every US state lost the equivalent of one Burlington, VT? How much would you expect traffic, housing, lines at the grocery store, to change? It’s not easy, even though 2M people is over the total

It’s good that no one is arguing that. But your argument isn’t strong. You’re saying that numbers matter. Those kinds of people go in and out of SCIFs. If they belch a secret at lunch, maybe it has lobbying implications, but it wasn’t comp

That sounds like an elected legislator, not like the kind of person with close access to compartmentalized info. And its the form of a leak of policy or some covert program; details which could also be bought; so it’s called “retail” compar
