So many variables unmeasured. How many hours per week? What sort of job? Something the parent finds meaning and purpose in, or just a paycheck? Surely these moderate the sign of the outcome

Horses for courses... If the game in the article captures what these are about, it didn't do anything for me. Interesting to read, though. I've enjoyed some games that have a cozy vibe while actually presenting me with puzzles to

I suspect it goes deeper than language even. We have associative memories, right? Given our learning, modelling, pigeonholing of the world along with our changing bodies, our older selves are unlikely to experience anything close enough to

FWIW I didn't read that as an argument against providing housing, I read it as an argument in favour of providing housing and treatment.

Yes. As the saying goes, If we knew what we were doing it wouldn't be research. Finished papers often have flaws, if you try to write something perfect you may never finish it. They're called limitations and you list them in concl

While we're here, any suggestions on what works better for writing math to a digital whiteboard? Wacom type tablet with no display, or an ipad type tablet with pen?

to correctly judge some fizzbuzz solutions (or approaches to refactoring) you would also have to be knowledgeable. Guess what I think the problem is.

Exactly For example, 2001 was a great movie but Clarke's worst book imo because he collaborated with Kubrick to write it for for big screen.

Not without its issues but it also prominently featured the mentats, which the recent version didn't.

I like Bayes, but I thought the "surprising" result is that double descent is supposed to prevent nns from overfitting?

I've since changed my opinion on what I said above. It sounds like they are complying in the short term to maintain their right to challenge this in the Indian courts, which actually seems like a good strategy. I can't say I under

It's tempting to think the better strategy is to let the current Indian government block them and see how that plays out.

This is a really good comment thread and got me thinking. However here in the UK I'm not sure your point about virtual subsidy quite computes. Most of the free to use parking in valuable areas is street parking outside homes. Seeing as

I don't think it's fair to consider Wal-Mart's parking free from a societal perspective. Presumably they pay for it and absorb the cost into your grocery bill.

No my op includes local roads though you're right you do have to gather the data from local authorities

Oh that was great. In no small part because Burgess's slang is rooted in real etymology so it's not entirely a foreign language so much as creative use of our own. Snowcrash is similar in this respect.

You seem to be suggesting that it's good writing style to make your reader struggle as if with a foreign language?

Given that diesels emit particulates and nox as well as co2, I'll note it's theoretically possible to tune them in a way that increases efficiency at the cost of other pollutants. I've no idea what the actual devices sold do,
