Am I wrong in thinking that the visual below “Finally with 5 the self-similarity continues as expected” is wrong? I’m thinking that the second-to-right and rightmost subtrees need to be larger, to have a sequence of four and five nodes resp

The clickbaity title is misleading. The article does not argue that monkeys have a strong election prediction ability. It merely argues that there is some gentle correlation between monkey gaze behavior and election outcomes. That’s not sur

There is one other analysis that would, I suspect, adjust the OP’s conclusions: age. Hypothesis: sitters vs standers, and other measures of the quality of the job (danger, flexibility…) correlate substantially with the age of the worker. As

The main message I take from this story is that a decent quorum of consumers want Apple to offer a smaller phone in each generation. The OP seems not to have minded having to upgrade eventually, just not to a “virtual tablet.” I’ve heard ot

I’m missing something. Why would privately propagating an endangered plant be any kind of theft, crime, or immoral action? I get that cutting or tearing off a piece of someone’s plant is wrong, but if the plant has dropped a piece that can

It is insane. But it leaves the question: why are companies doing it? They must believe it’s working for them, or they’d change it. God knows companies are motivated to hire good people. Maybe someone in HR or even a technical manager in on

It looks to me as if there’s a solution to this problem based on the precompilation of sparse matrices. I’ll explain. If you have a function (or operator) call of the form fn(a, b), and you know that fn might accept 19 types (say) in the “a

So, to make sure I understand, you’re saying that there are no rights, and no one should have any rights. So if a government declares that it can imprison anyone indefinitely for any reason at any time, that’s a good thing. There is no righ

It’s not clear to me that either political “side” has the corner on these faults. But even if they did, why not allow audiences to make their own judgments? Universities don’t have to provide auditoriums or catering. They shouldn’t have to

But surely "not really constructive" and "muddy the water" implies a judgment—a pre-judgment—that the speech itself ought to be allowed to face. If he speaks and his ideas are "not really constructive" and &quo

You must surely realize that your statement is nonsense. If it were true then there would be no rights. No right or law is ever protected with perfect consistency. The right to life, the right to make personal choices, the right to determin

I think you're saying that because a century ago some people oppressed other people (in America?), therefore free speech was never protected. If that's what you're saying, I don't see that the conclusion follows from the

From the article: “24 million babies will someday be President.” This seems an improbable claim. Is he saying something sensible by virtue of the surrounding analysis that I’m just not following?

This would be more convincing if the table looked good on mobile. On iOS, anyway, it is too wide for the page and wants horizontal scrolling to read the full title and table.

Intriguing little bit of poetry here. But this I don’t quite understand: “It shows us a time when entering a virtual world required a gizmo. That’s the past, not the future.” In what sense is entering a virtual world without a “gizmo” a pre

Please help me understand this. Why is deregulation causing suppliers to be unable to charge enough to cover their costs? I should think that would be the opposite. “ Ed Hirs, an energy fellow in the Department of Economics at the Universit
