Questions too! I kinda love the ones that are like "Is compassion the key to an expanded conscience?" with the top answer being "Yes, as I explain in my book Compassion: The Key to an Expanded Conscience".

It's a good question, but the article claims there's a compensation: "when connectivity between the hemispheres is high, connectivity within each hemisphere is relatively low, and vice versa". There's no reason that

What 40% immunity number? I don't see that in the article here.

Does falling death rates really indicate widespread immunity? I'd like to see the randomized immunology tests to back that up (maybe he has them, but this article doesn't indicate it). I haven't heard of anywhere near herd-im

But the downside is that I like to use ipython and %run the file and if it's not in a function, I can then inspect all the intermediate variables and not just the result. Every time I do put it in a function, I regret it for this reaso

Apparently one of my all-time favorite bands is named after the message sent in this message, The Evpatoria Report. I haven't listened to them in a while, so it was a nice reminder seeing this. https://youtu.be/GazWRcrw

I recall clicking a Duluth Trading link from a thread not so unlike this on HN years ago and then being followed by ads for their jeans across the internet for at least a year. Of course, I remember that just after clicking your link.

Yes but how much is the subsidy and how much goes towards expenses the hospital only has due to the resident? For example the subsidy also covers the resident's malpractice insurance but the hospital isn't profiting from that. It

Presumably most of the subsidy goes toward paying the resident, so most of the value to the hospital of the residency is the work done by the resident.

I'm not convinced. Merriam Webster seems consistent with the article's interpretation saying that it is meant ironic. The examples given by you and others in this thread of "encourage" meaning to force doesn't rule

Contrary to what others are saying here, the author says the following: > A rigorous course in linear algebra is an absolute necessity. In the early chapters, one may be able to avoid the need for a modern algebra course but not the matu

Just to expand on this, at least in Mandarin, one types out phonetic Latin alphabet-based pinyin and the system prompts you with choices of matching symbols in the same way that predictive keyboards show you words. You select which characte

Reminds me of the whistleblower over academic fraud at Duke that received $33 million as a reward. I want these to be more widely publicized! https://www.npr.org/2019/03/25/706604033/duke-whistleblower-..

In what sense would rounding of sales taxes be in the favor of companies? Surely it goes to the government, not the company.

I thought so too until a friend showed me his small telescope on his apartment building right downtown. And we could see Saturn's rings clearly! I would never have guessed it could be done in the middle of a major city.

I added "most" specifically because one of the other threads in the comments here is about not funding it through taxes (instead, through printing money).

My understanding is that most proposals for UBI would be funded by raising taxes making it a net-positive income increase only for the "poorest" families (the bottom X% of tax payers, for some X). So the only difference here seems

The intro to this article is very confusingly written. It starts in the past tense and I thought these were a dead language (and moreover a largely unknown one) until the end.

Indeed, the lifetime sales of the PS2 were 155 million, which would take 147 years to produce at this rate. But the "graphical version" of the article that it links to says instead the following: > In this area of 31.4 meters b

Usually though, FYI, they specify 'chopped' in the ingredients list. But that leads to the equally-infuriating "Only takes 5 minutes of prep!" but the ingredient list hides the fact that you have to make a pie crust or c
