So what if you're one of the 170 people who are easy to reject immediately? Are you a candidate who has a "lot of choice"? It would seem not.

Werner von Braun and his team deliberately sought US troops to surrender to them. They chose the US.

Yes. Read Timothy Snyder's _Bloodlands_ for a deeper understanding of just how the peasants were starved. Or watch the movie "Mr. Jones".

Seth McMeekin's book, _Stalin's War_, is a great way to understand just how they did it. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/apr/06/stalins-war-by...

Now this may be a bias that comes from running on a track team, but I've always been annoyed when my team ends one "sprint" on a Wednesday at noon and starts the next "sprint" at 12:01. We're "sprinting&qu

I had a friend give me a cogent explanation of why it's important for engineers to run and test their code on the level of computer that the final users will have. Otherwise the engineers end up saying dumb things like, "It didn&#

I don't think regular patterns are enough to trigger it. After all, many people regularly commute to work or school or some combination. I'm guessing that these trips were to places near the border where it's easy to smuggle

This was a big book at the time. It's kind of amazing that we're still having the same debates about AI so many years later. Almost 50 years later.

Even if they aren't faked, the ability to shut down a trial that isn't delivering the right preliminary data is a big problem for society. Why should we trust these drugs?

My understanding is that the checklist is really detailed and schools need to do things like measure the size of lips and ears. It makes taking the SAT look like more fun-- and fairer too.

Why is (2) a pro? It's just one billionaire instead of another.

That's not exactly what the article says. It just says that the police forces were largely privatized and part-time. Naturally that changed as the country grew. This feeds a strange notion that society was just fine without police. It

It's kind of funny to watch Masnick wiggle around on this one. He wants to love web scraping. He's spent his entire career defending it to please the big tech firms that support him. But now he wants to play angry anti-police acti

There are dozens of memes floating around claiming that the counterculture is made of of people getting married to someone of the opposite sex, raising a family, practicing a religion, eating meals together, celebrating the holidays togethe

When you've got that many, you've got to expect to lose more than a few. Right?

My thoughts exactly. How do they have "data"? Most people I know decide to go to the theater at the last minute. Maybe they got three interns to sign up for the double feature and this counts as a yuge spike. Color me skeptical.

It is rather annoying how much they hate Musk because it affects their coverage. If they want to hate him privately in their rooms at night, that's fine with me. But when you can't trust their coverage of things like rocketry, tun

This is also kind of a union maneuver. They push sportsball news into a different corporation with a different union. They'll bring over a few articles about the Yankees to keep the subscribers happy but the net result will be fewer re

Is the censorship factor high? Has anyone experienced obvious examples?

How will the cops know who to investigate? It seems like a neat version of Precrime a la Philip K. Dick.

Yeah, these were rich people like Jane Austen and Mrs. Percy Bythe Shelley. Copyright makes it possible for the non-rich to create these works and make a living from a willing audience.

As a book author, I can say that, "Yes, something was stolen. My opportunity to earn a living taking care of readers." Now you may believe the incredibly self-serving baloney from big companies like Google. You may want to pretend

Alas, I'm not sure a union can begin to fix anything except a few cosmetic things. The biggest problem is the massive oversupply of people who want academic careers versus the number of real jobs. The individual unions at the schools c

I could see this kind of thing maybe 50 years ago, but the schools have been actively letting in many minorities for years. So many of the legacies are legacies of minorities. It's not all a bunch of New England white protestants.

I think the reporter is mainly a features writer not a business reporter and so any gap might be understandable. The basic message in the piece is that the so called investment company didn't have the money. They would pretend to &quot

That was the past. Recently Disney decided to openly campaign against one of two major parties in the US, effectively choosing to align themselves against 50% of the country. While this has endeared them to one of the parties, it was an ope

It's true. If the Madoff investment paid off, the billionaire would be happy too. Not just Bonilla. The billionaire took a risk and choose poorly. That's called "life in the big city."
