It's also worth noting that's US stocks. The story in Europe or Argentina would be completely different, and there was no way to figure that out in 1920.

Terms of service often contain illegal provisions. I teach kids to flout them too. One of the biggest sins in school is kids learn to follow rules uncritically. There are specific protections allowed when the goal is to maintain / brea

I mean, with Trump, you don't need to look for allegations. You have "grab them by the pussy." We know he was a sexual predator. However, I've seen both credible and less than credible allegations even against him. I hav

There's a lot of just plain simple fraud too. I've seen embassies issue visas only with bribes, or employees simply collect salaries without doing their jobs. As in you're hired to review documents by some legally mandated cr

My experience is that for anyone sufficiently famous and polarizing, there are widespread false allegations. It's hard work to work from primary sources and sort fact from fiction. It's impractical to check everything, do I tend t

There is widespread fraud in the government. It needs to be addressed. There is widespread inefficiency too. I think the people in DOGE have the skills and access to address it. I have no evidence that they are doing so, and some evidence o

A basic problem is they're trained on the Internet, and take on all the biases. Ask any of them so purposed edX to MIT or wrote the platform. You'll get back official PR. Look at a primary source (e.g. public git history or privat

That's not quite my point. "Productive" is for a reason. Is manufacturing perfume productive? Making video games? It depends on your goals. However, in a great power conflict, they're much less productive than tanks, dro

Yes, I could, but I'd have a 90% chance of hurting myself. Ditto for giving some cancer with radiation, many covert poisons, and similar. I can name a dozen ways I could kill or harm you, but: 1. I'd need to be wacko enough to wan

World War II was won because of US and (less advertised) Soviet manufacturing capacity. Ukraine is more constrained by weapon supplies, especially drones and artillery, than by manpower. I'm not sure both sides are playing the same gam

There's a huge step to I'm capability with 16gb and 24gb, for not to much more. The 4060 has a 16gb version, for example. On the the cheap end, the Intel Arc does too. Next major step up is 48GB and then hundreds of GB. But a lot

My guess is that most people on a jury would convict, but the odds of an entire jury convicting are less than fifty percent. I don't know how much less. Tha kind of flexibility is the point of a jury. Laws aren't purely mechanical

Silent is hard, but safe and efficient is virtually any modern jetliner. The interesting problem is safe, easy, low-maintenance and cheap.

Your notes are quite wrong. Most regulations are not about not killing people with checks notes state-of-the-art-1970-technology. This is even more true in zoning. There are much better ways to build homes possible, but not when a regulat

For the record, in my local elections, we have plenty of people voting illegally. "Is it legal" is very different from "Can they." By "local," I mean municipal and below. I didn't mean "federal electi

That would be a very, very bad outcome for the free world. We lost commercial ship yards, and or navy is on a long, slow march to obsolescence. That's messy decades it -- we have a huge lead -- but it's the path we're on. I d

Boeing has a lot of untapped markets. It's one of the few companies which can do things which require scale and regulatory changes in aviation. Technology is where autonomous flying cars, for example, are mostly constrained by regulato

Didn't think of that. I think a bankruptcy restructuring would do a world of good for Boeing, the sooner the better. The longer it keeps in this state, the further behind it gets.

Honestly, learning things and doing projects together brings memories too. If that wasn't the case, your family was doing it wrong. Plenty of kids jam together in a garage, have awesome memories from the school band, or otherwise. Grea

My comment wasn't that every ad blocker was performant. My comment was about uBlock specifically. My comment wasn't that all algorithms are always efficient. It was that properly compiled regular expressions are. Extensions often

The browsing experience is dramatically faster with uBlock. The thousands of regexps don't come close to the CPU or memory load of ads. A 386 could handle a regexp fine. Compare that to audio or video decoding for ads. Not the same bal

The reason for them is reliability. Running everything closer to limits really limits reliability. Aside from that, 1000W is very theoretical. You have some maximum on each rail. If you have 500W on the 12V rail max, and need 600W, it doesn

I have a ruggedized Dell. It's not nearly as tough as the Panasonic I used, but it's tough enough. On the other hand, it is much more useable. I don't know if that's a brand or model difference.

It's not quite an accusation but mainstream practice. Agarwal, in the early days, earned more than everyone else combined, and took credit for the work of others. After the sale, he was offered a coushy job at 2U. Funneling nonprofit m

I don't. The place is full of worst thieves and con artists from edX, and very few people who are competent or care.

2U did no due diligence. A minimum might have been to contact the author of the platform to check on IP issues (or anything else). This never happened. Lots of other things never happened either. What they bought had little resemblance to w

A key issue for me is API compatibility. It's nice to do simple and scalable, but you can't have both at once. API compatibility message I can run simple for small setups and scalable for large ones. That's nice and something

It does, but only experiments who don't have a strong grounding in research methods. Simpson's paradox is part of a broader problem: correlation does not imply causation. In practice, it's one of many problems with making dec

I think this is missing them point of p5js. Khan Academy has brilliant kids courses on p5. A bright first grader can learn it. P5 is not designed to solve the same problem as D3. It's for creative coding. It's what kids did on Log
