Can you explain why what Roku TV does with the HDMI data stream is evil to those of us not in the know?

I think student debt is the safest of all. It can't be discharged in bankruptcy anymore. Further, it's typically guaranteed by the government on top of that. Credit cards are a poor comparison I think.

That's great if you sleep on your back but side-sleepers aren't going to be happy on a hard mattress, the shoulder becomes a single point of contact with the bed. I'm not convinced that people accustomed to sleeping in one or

That squares with what I have heard before about UK university degrees being shorter than US degrees. What do you do with the rest of the year?

The debt I've seen my peers saddled with has typically been 6-10%, issued mostly in the recession/post-recession years of low interest rates. It seems like exceedingly high interest to me when mortgages and car loans are half as m

What part of the world is that? In the US it's typical to have 2 16-18 week semesters per year, usually with a job or internship for 10-12 weeks in the summer.

Fact, you say? I think you're right about the psychology here but if you're going to assert that state management is factually bad please provide some support to that.

I think it's become a meme, something many writers use without considering whether both affluence AND race are significant in a given situation. They often are and so I suspect some people use them together without thinking in situatio

There's a significant gulf between "I'll take care of it" and "figure it out yourself". I'm not really disagreeing with anything here, to be clear. But I think there's a place for useful instruction t

I'm relatively young and have to say that awareness of that increasing gap has significantly influenced some of my life's decision-making. By the time I was coming up, the trend was clear and so factored in goals and plans. I thin

Can I ask what parts you're referring to specifically when you say "replace the suspension"? My car is past 100k at this point and I'm looking forward to what might need to be done to keep it reasonably nice.

I do NLP with medical notes. What I have observed is that the redundancy between the note and information available elsewhere in the EHR in structured formats is pretty high, as is the amount of boilerplate (e.g. section headers and list te

They're certainly not obligated to reduce tax expenditures. This is the commonly repeated falsehood that the fiduciary duty of a company to its shareholders obligates them to do anything and everything within the law to maximize profit

That's an interesting thought - optical character recognition and obfuscation to blur things like text on paper from a live feed.

That's because Congress was trying to kill the PO, by making them fund pensions far in advance of what would be necessary to cover their obligations. "What if your credit card company told you: 'You will charge a million doll

I've gotten into NLP somewhat in the last 2 years. In my case I was aware of a large body of text data we (data science dept) weren't doing anything with and pitched some project ideas to my director about how we might make use of

I'm not going to defend what he said, but if you look at the interaction it clearly took two to get into a juvenile Twitter fight, the other guy was no paragon of class himself. That aside, while it wasn't OK for Musk to say that,

I have been playing a bit of D&D recently with friends. When we play it's also an occasion to bring a variety of beers to sample and share around. I wonder if this would be off-limits in any sort of community center or public libra

Indeed. It's worth considering as well that even when analyzing actual data what seems like a relationship between two variables can be wiped out or inverted by the addition of other variables into the model. It's important to inc

Often they don't know themselves. It takes an elaborate back and forth negotiation with the insurance company to come to a final cost even when you wind up on the hook for it.

They'll tell you the exact opposite once you get your bill and they're trying to collect. I just had that conversation with a provider myself, after I got the bill.

That's all fine and good if the democracy actually works. If it has been subverted by a corrupt elite then a desire for a real functioning liberal democracy by a vast majority of the populace can be handily written off as populism usin

That's not a good comparison, you're neglecting the cost of actually building the non-roundabout intersection and just looking at the cost of the signs. Consider the cost to build each from scratch.

100 years ago the 1918 flu killed 100,000,000 people. That seems like something worth preventing a second time if we can. All the sanitation in the world isn't going to counteract the fast global transportation network we (and disease)

Now that's some clever cooking. I'd not have thought of that.

It's entirely fair to consider the possibility of malice as a subconscious motivation among some people. The very frequent blind application of Hanlon's razor seems to me to be almost worse than ignoring it entirely.

You're indicting the entire premise of modern safe sex. Either condoms are rarely used and people cannot be taught to use them reliably, or you're wrong. The low infection rate in industrialized countries with good sex education a

The fallacy that MGM and FGM need to compete rhetorically is a significant hurdle in the discourse. Too many people see it as an unnecessary game of one-upmanship for some reason.
