I don't think you fully understand who you are arguing against. I also think Olise's yellow card was unjustified. I think it should be overturned also. Even without overturning it,…

It's not just a random player, it's a player whose red card was contested even by the commentators as it was playing out. You should just watch the replay: https://www.youtube.com/…

Yeesh, this conversation has run its course.

> I don’t see much controversy. It is a clear red. You're entitled to believe it was a red, but it is objectively controversial. It's not just about what you believe, but what abou…

No, those are not at all contradictory, it is entirely consistent. Two things can be true at the same time: 1. There is no appeals process that USA (or any team) can initiate 2. Th…

Correct. Hence: “which in practice will be arbitrary.” It’s on FIFA to correct for that governance failure by making it less arbitrary via a more universal appeals process. In any …

You're right, it's a failure of governance that FIFA doesn't have a proper appeals process for everyone to use. It is unfortunate that the only rules-based mechanism to suspend the…

> With respect, only an American would think that the competition ceases to be interesting just because the US loses With respect to you, I'm a lifelong football fan. And read more…

> The goal is ultimately entertainment This is something I see so many people forgetting. The net result of this decision is simply that the USA gets to play with their full squad …

This comment is a hilarious example of: https://x.com/AustingrahamZ1/status/1029385497213366279?lang...

This has been a dream project of mine too, so happy to see that it exists. One thing that I've also wanted was to be able to reason about the total timeline using the Holocene cale…

Censorship != moderation: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/moderation-is-different-fro...

Git operations are 503'ing for me.

To be clear, there is certainly a spectrum/degree for bias. The best kind of news/journalism informs readers based on factually accurate and unbiased data — and perhaps uses notewo…

The biggest problem with news is that it's fundamentally an exercise in elevating anecdotes over data. Every time the news reports on an incident or a happening, it's a deep dive i…

Yes, that's absolutely correct. I'm a strong proponent of the right to freedom of speech (and I'm pro-choice), but we have to be clear about the fact that these are derived from ax…

Right, the UCR is usually pegged at the 75th percentile price for that ZIP code — though that can vary from payer to payer, some can even go up to 90th percentile — it's usually de…

I work in this industry and can provide some insight. Every payer has the concept of "UCR Rates" or "Usual, Customary, and Reasonable Rates" for every procedure code, for every ZIP…

Additionally, I've found that they're a bit less risqué than Western productions and that creates broad appeal. Crash Landing on You was a heartwarming (and cheesy) story told in a…

Ex-Square chiming in (I fondly remember Project Franklin), he was also arguably the inventor of modern dependency injection as we know it! https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=330

I saw an interesting tweet to this effect: https://twitter.com/waspmexicano/status/1633934987664957442 I would be very curious to see if there's data on whether replacing prison wi…

I like your examples a lot, because they illustrate the challenges well. “there is no racial inequality in the American criminal justice system” is not particularly offensive to me…

Correct, and with blocklists / opt-in moderation, whatever system that is would do a similarly great job. With email, you can manually block wherever anything falls through the cra…
