I don't really get the point, if you make bio plastic that lasts as long as normal plastic then won't it have the same effect on our plastic waste problem. Also, it is not like taking some oil out of the earth together with the tons of oil that are taken out for fuel (probably from a thickness that isn't really used for much else) will have a worse effects on our environment than clearing out enormous pieces of land to grow all these plants.

You don't really need to board up the windows for the cameras to be a big help.

Except that they haven't though. A lot of the things you list have never even been seriously discussed. Some of them are very debatable (pro or con) on their own, such as making it illegal for minors to transition.

Okay, so this instance was likely human error, but the manufacturer should make it very difficult for you to get yourself into this situation. I'm counting the days until one of the many new EVs on the road is force-updated (i.e., for something like a recall due to malfunctioning brakes), causing the car to become unavailable when the owner needs it.

From the current Preface:

"I initially wrote this book with talented high-school students in mind, particularly those with math-olympiad type backgrounds. Some remnants of that cultural bias can still be felt throughout the book, particularly in assorted challenge problems which are taken from mathematical competitions. However, in general I think this would be a good reference for anyone with some amount of mathematical maturity and curiosity. Examples include but certainly not limited to: math undergraduate majors, physics/CS majors, math PhD students who want to hear a little bit about fields other than their own, high school students who like math but not math contests, and unusually intelligent kittens fluent in English."
Just out of curiosity, how would you know if you had seen counterfeit money?
How then should someone who doesn't want people to have the right to own guns, go about exerting that desire?

I think we’re talking about what people saw. If you saw a Mac II, chances were quite good that it either had a Trinitron display or that monochrome vertical one.

This is an interesting argument, but I think there are some logical problems in it. But it is the type of argument you will hear as justification for this approach.

What worries me enormously: since when do employers have jurisdiction to approve surveillance over their employees outside of work?? :

>In November 2017 the FBI asked for more information. This time, no subpoena followed. Instead, the cancer center’s president, Peter Pisters—then on the job for barely a month—signed a voluntary agreement allowing the FBI to search the network accounts of what a separate document indicated were 23 employees “for any purpose … at any time, for any length of time, and at any location.”

Can your employer "voluntarily sign an agreement to permit" (or effectively sign a warrant enabling) the surveillance state to spy on you outside of work contexts? Criticism of the Chinese surveillance state is justified, but before we worry about their surveillance state, perhaps worrying about our own surveillance state would be more in order...

The approach is formally correct. You always have to make sure these values actually exist, but otherwise it goes through.

The example is probably not the very best, but P(D) may make more sense if you think of the following:

If D equals the amount of coffee I put in the grinder, then D has a certain random component. Sometimes I put in more, sometimes less - even though I aim at a specific level. This is why it is important to have a concept of P(D) in Bayes' equation.
The one case where I inadvertently put in a lot of coffee should not be used for "strong evidence" - is the idea here.

For something that might be more applicable to your application, check out Tetris 99, which is a battle royale version of Tetris that Nintendo released earlier this year. Not only does it encapsulate an interface that might work better, but it also (as I understand it) thas mechanics to link you to other players in the set so there's a bit of 1-on-1 competition where people affect each other within the larger competition to last the longest.

I can imagine this being pretty fun if, for example you could also perform some task (answer a trivia question, move the mouse through a maze, etc) that might affect others (such as blank their video feed for a few seconds, or flash it white, or apply a weird color filter). The attention and concentration might make people forget to not blink, and the altering off opponents visuals could throw them off as well.

Anybody who's hung out at a US university or worked in tech knows that most of the STEM graduate students and professors are immigrants or guests in the US. China and India plus many other countries have been giving a gift to the United States for decades by sending us their best students and yes, of course, it pays back to the countries who send these students, but to the extent this is policy directed enforcement, in my view it mistakes which direction the majority of the benefit has been flowing. None of that is to say that we should allow spying or theft of IP, but let's do recognize that much of the IP we're trying to protect would not exist if the foreigners and immigrants were not in the US in the first place.

I would teach/explain to my kid(s) that not everyone is like me or you, or anyone else. Some people prioritize emotions over logic, even to their own detriment. Not everyone is like that, most people make decisions based on emotion, but stop short of hurting themselves too badly. Etc.

I would also give them the opportunity to discover this for themselves, not have it be a surprise when they go out on their own for the first time. I'm a scout leader, I have the kids interact with adults when we go places instead of myself. They need to build confidence and ability to work with people in other age groups.

I believe you introduced the “what if the state murder rate was racially biased?”

I used a constant non-state rate in my example. If I had actual data, I’d have been happy to use it. Without that, I had to go theoretical and argue that if every group is made better off, there’s an argument to support. Surely, before such a plan is changed, it will be studied to an extent that’s impractical for news.yc commenting.

Open Source Casebook
There are some understandable reasons, some of them related to them containing potentially export controlled models. Even then, you could strip out those bits but for some reason, no one does it because they see no need to once they have access to the code. Often a hefty (for academics) license of 4 figures a year gives them access to modify the source code but they can't share their modifications with others.
This also relates to organizational fit. The so called "contigency theory" has long said that the optimal organization depends on context.

Sadly, this context was usually defined to be outside of the firm.

I strongly agree with your sentiment that 'best practices' act as a replacement for critical thought, and lead to messy, overcomplicated and flawed architectures. Every "best practice" would be best delivered with a criteria list of when it's actually applicable, and a shortcomings list of situations where its not.

I disagree entirely.

If it were possible to be apolitical, I would agree. I don't think it's possible for any one person or entity to be apolitical, thus I think they should simply be as honest as humanly possible.

I've got some from ~25 years ago that are discolored due to exposure to sunlight. There are ways to fix that (http://lego.jtooker.com/whitening/). I haven't noticed them getting brittle, though.

I've also got some bricks that are much older (from the 60s I think), and are still usable. They haven't spent time in the sun, so they are not even discolored.
As used in this thread starter, "time out" means being sent away as punishment. Going to "cool off", or to use physical separation to end/prevent conflicts, is a not a punishment "time out".

A good test is whether going away is for the goer's immediate benefit. It should be.

That's nice, but we do know that burning fossil fuels kills a huge number of people [0]. Moving away from fossil fuels will require some form of nuclear power. Much of Europe has successfully transitioned most of their power to nuclear [1], so it's not like the concept is some experimental sci-fi dream. From an environmental standpoint, nuclear is by far our cleanest option based on all the information we have.

I could tell something was wrong during the whole "Paper" thing.
Some may not appreciate the depth of the issue, others may simply recognize that there's little that can be done. Common law courts already have relatively strong procedural protections. In some countries like the U.S. these procedural protections are at least in principal inviolable by the legislature, even when they're not explicit in the written constitution.

But courts neither have the duty nor the capacity (legally or otherwise) to police everything that occurs outside their court. If the evidence presented is proper on its face, what else can they do? Judges have an independent duty to pursue the truth of the substantive legal matter, but that's distinct from actively ferreting out ancillary illegality and falsehoods.

We also have an adversarial system, so there are alternatives to direct judicial oversight of the executive branch: the legislature and the defendant. Indeed, much of the evidence for illegal surveillance has come from defendants, sometimes relying on the court's subpoena powers to discover, which is a form of procedural protection. So not only are there strong procedural protections, there's someone in the court room with the duty, the motivation, and at least in principle the power to see that they're enforced.

IMO, it's right and proper for courts to be sources of legal change, just don't expect it to be swift or comprehensive. The upshot is that when it does happen, it's often far more considered and secure. And this is precisely because it's slow, incremental, supported by well-vetted evidence, and spurred by manifest, not conjectured, injustice and suffering.

The fact that courts only react to injustice, rather than prevent it, is something of a feature, not a bug.

The fact that it's the poor that suffer injustice the most isn't something that courts can fix. Look at the right for counsel to be afforded the indigent[1]: how successful was that remedy? Not particularly so as in many places it's not only useless but used to excuse bad outcomes--"well, he did have an attorney". In jurisdictions where it works well it would have, if it hadn't already, been provided. Wealth inequality is particularly far outside the court's wheelhouse.

[1] The traditional right to counsel is merely a right to hire legal representation. The right to publicly funded counsel for the indigent is a prospective remedy required by SCOTUS in 1963. Prospective remedies have poor track records. The good protections, the ones that make up traditional procedural protections, exhibit survival bias and have slowly accreted over nearly a millennia. This is why the Common Law is considered to have the strongest procedural protections--the length of time it's had to refine that aspect of the legal system. Most other Western systems were re-invented de novo in the late 18th and 19th centuries by, basically, philosophers and revolutionaries. Theory only gets you so far, and often takes you way off course.
I feel like if you don't do this stuff intuitively, you can't really learn it.

My only data point is my SO. No matter how many times I try to coach my SO on these very simple parenting rules, she just doesn't get it. She makes threats she cannot follow through with, she doesn't think of simple "if you do this then we'll do that" tricks, and doesn't use the simple 1-2-3 timeout method.

All that stuff seems very intuitive to me. But I think some people just don't get it and never will.

Wait, the deal about this funding is that NIH funds, student does research. The topic of where the researcher uses this is different.

If the US wanted these researchers to utilize their research by creating American businesses, allow them to become American first and create these businesses here? Why let those scientists now take Chinese funding, do research in China and then buy that product from there?

Ultimately, I think the US has shooting itself in the foot if it thinks that money is what tempted those researchers and taking away that money with ethnic targeting will somehow fix trade and IP issues.
