I would at least investigate it. I have purchased and read statistics books recently. Mostly the old classics by R.A. Fisher and D.R. Cox and etc, I have a copy of Handbook 91 by Mary Natrella. My questions are pretty simple. I like the

That's on the other side of the river from New Orleans. To what I think is your larger point, that project is a small part of the efforts at water control around New Orleans. But, so far they have generally been viewed as beneficial a

That is a case of a specific chemical in tires, not microplastics generally, or even rubber tire particles generally.

Why do you say "nothing to see here" ? The existence of the earlier paper does not imply that procedures corrected for this afterwards. Is there any published protocol for a study since that first article that mentions avoiding

I've ordered books that were print-on-demand and had them arrive in 3 days. Some of the Amazon ones will have the exact date in the back, and I can see they were printed the day I ordered it. For what it's worth, I think print-on

I have used a DR-DOS 7 that was set up with a nice task switcher, between terminate-and-stay-resident programs ( not true concurrent processing ). This setup started WP5.1, a spread sheet -- I think Lotus123, and a graphics editing program.

I've thought about making a C02 scrubber for indoor use. The simplest way, using commercial lime, would mean replenishing a consumable to keep it going. The C02 scrubbers that acquarium owners use also don't seem to be able to b

I don't think that piece of plastic would last as long as you think. I think even ABS or PETG would be crumbling to powder in 100 years. But you could use it as a stamp for thin sheet metal, that might last a longer time.

But currently, most of the high intensity retail areas tax the landlords on the value of the land PLUS the value of the building ( "improvements" ). They owe this tax even if the building is empty. How does switching to a land va

I don't think there is a connection. The situation where the landlords capture most of the increase in value that a cluster of retailers create, would not be affected if we switched from taxing the landlords on the value of their land

I have hopes that the Slate vehicle will turn out to be a dumb EV, but I'm cynical enough that I want to wait til it hits the market and someone does a tear-down. https://www.slate.auto/

I think the NYT is involved in lawsuit claiming garbling them through an LLM is still copyright violation. In any case you could link to them and display the headline, and maybe the first sentence.

An automated system was already made to collect and sort them, that system should provide it's sources. I can self-fact-check anything, but a system that could provide origin sources and didn't is just AI slop.

In addition to the browser extension, you need a web proxy -- a bit of server side code that acts as the nostr client and gets the page, and displays it over ordinary http/https. Of course this means the existing web will find multiple

You are only repeating the arguments of run-of-the-mill management, and most people reading Kelley's blog post will be familiar with them. There's something else going on here. After all, as a business manager with a duty to make

My gut feeling is that is what is going on. But, the creation of new plasma donation centers is not a random process, so we've identified a correlation, not a definitive cause and effect. What if areas that are on an upward economic

You can call any self-interested decision "greed" if you need to just turn off your brain and emote. But they were making high profits for decades, and being greedy for decades. Then there were a lot of layoffs. What changed ?
