I guess there is an inverse effect to bubbles (things go linearly up and then abruptly down), where nothing happens for a long time until all things happen at once.

What I find interesting is the implicit priorisation: explainability, (human) accountability, lawfulness, fairness, safety, sustainability, data privacy and non-military use.

Is this a new policy? Otherwise, why this sudden and broad implementation so that "suddenly none of the IT employees at the agency could do their jobs properly anymore" (according to the source).

The first month after March equinox has great religious significance across many cultures (in the temperate zone), e.g. Pesach. When different cultures meet, they tend to syncretise.

That's the trade-off between efficiency and resilience. Another example are the egg prices in US. The industrialisation of agriculture made it more brittle.

This is not available in many countries. Is it due to legal issues, to preserve server capacity or a marketing gag?

I don't know how Google is internally organised, but maybe Google Labs does not have a dedicated legal team. And out of fear for possible legal implications, they just block it in EU. It's quite understandable, because the releva

Math notation consists of symbols and syntax (order of symbols). How to arrange the Chinese characters (syntax) is very different between different languages.

I would argue that alphabetisation would increase the use of regional languages because it would be possible to write down your speech, instead of relying on Mandarin or phonetical transcription with Chinese characters.

It's not a language. It's a writing system used to write Classical Chinese for 3000 years and Mandarin for 150 years. When I was in Hong Kong, I was surprised that the written language is Mandarin (in traditional form).

I don't think these two forms of'amnesia-induced' typos are so different. "Typos" happen quite often, especially when typing on a smartphone and selecting the wrong character. And people learn to read it correctly.

I think it's also an issue of translation. "Dialect" in English is variety of a language. 方言 (fangyang, translated as dialect) in Chinese is a regional language or speech. Linguistically, Cantonese and other varieties of Chin

The chart is dumb (the axes badly labelled). It's a power-law graph (used to explain the Pareto principle). I think the message is that a large percentage of interventions are not cost-effective, and only a small number are.

Why do you think it's a fallacy? Do you think that he would have returned to China regardless of his treatment in the US, or do you think that his contribution is insignificant to China's missile programme? Or put it differently,

A few comments mention that the policy is about internalising the cost of externalities. In this concrete case, I wonder how do you price it correctly absent a market? Generally, I wonder how far you can extend the concept of internalising
