If we sell them to another country, then that other country will gather the data and publish it. The point of the Trump administration is that the data not be gathered.

Of course there will be dissatisfaction from users of the data. Anyone that wants to use census data will prefer less privacy in the data. And anytime privacy is enforced the data becomes less useful. It would be certainly very convenient f

As the article clearly states, privacy features have been in the census since 1990. It is just that the previously used privacy feature was not very strong and could be defeated. So it was replaced by a stronger feature in 1920. Before 1990

Ok at this point you are just spouting gibberish. I will stop responding.

I read the article and I am right about everything other than one not very significant detail. I am probably right about that too. It is not a red herring that Trump allowed cattle imports from mexico when it was widely known that the screw

Hehe, it is actually trying very hard not to hit the milestones.

This article is misleading because it does not mention Trump or Musk or Doge, and they were mostly responsible for the new outbreak in the US. Mexican cattle imports were banned in the US in 2024 because of the screw worm. Then trump allowe

Slightly off topic, Vladimir Nabakov wrote a beautiful, sad story about a guy like this -- a lonely counterfeiter that made a small number of individually crafted bills. It is called The Leonardo.

If this was the established doctrine of those in power, then why is the Iran war still going on, and why is the UK providing air bases for the Iran war? This is obviously a comment on the Iran war.

Reminds me of this great Steward Lee quote (paraphrasing from memory): "When I was young a lot of people accused me of being a champagne socialist. If they only knew how wrong they were. I was a cocaine communist!" Criticizing so

Ok you have put a lot of work in this and it looks impressive. But it needs a serious balance change. It is far too hard. Currently this may work as a brain teaser for people in the industry or people with computer engineering degrees, but

It is absolutely stupid to talk about this as edisons revenge. If Tesla had the modern high power transistors needed to get high voltage dc out of the ac produced from a spinning turbine he would be all for high voltage dc too. Tesla unders

That is probably true. I remember I felt really bad when my high school teachers were openly flirting with students during class. But there is another side to the coin. If you are attractive, a lot of the nastier people out there will try t

I don't think they used crossover design. There is no evidence in the abstract that they used crossover design. If they used crossover design they should have all participants go through a second trial period where they consume the sam

Currently, just a cursory google search shows $1500-3000 per kilogram to put something into low earth orbit. Lets take the low bound because of efficiencies of scale. So $1500. A million tons will cost $1500x1000x1000000= 1,500,000,000,000.
