>we aren't even going to drop a single rocket on Beijing? You are being naive. Are you really ready to risk WW3/Nuclear War to support these protests?

Very high chance this guy is a Chinese astroturfer. Posts like these need to be called out for what they are, state sponsored propaganda.

If every single person in the US ate only vegetarian, used no plastic, all drove electric cars, didn't use air travel etc. the net effect on the climate would be essentially nil. P…

After I read the 2014 IPCC Report in grad school I was pretty convinced that we have no hope of stopping it. We are almost surely going to pass 2 Degrees of atmospheric warming if …

Given that recent grads probably male 200K their first year at Google I'd say its probably north of 1.5M which is obviously ridiculous. Top portfolio managers at major Hedge Funds …

So you're saying they're likely going to flop since they're chasing prestige rather than talent? Good to know.

You are vastly overestimating how good Author identification methods are.

Bouman surely made an impact but she didn't lead the team or conceive of the project.

>I agree with you that the scientific community is way behind industry standards You could say the same about academic CS code which is arguably far more egregious since this is th…

You seem to be massively misunderstanding the Bay Area real estate market. Homes are routinely bought in full cash 20% over asking. No average engineers are making those kinds of o…

This analogy fails almost immediately. Real VCs distribute their bets across dozens of companies. You personally are placing one massive bet on one single company so your odds are …

1. The data you posted is 20 years old. 2. The data is talking about 5 year survival rates and not actual survival. The US Healthcare system is great at keeping people alive who sh…

Depending on where you live an ER might be the only place you can go for an urgent medical issue. Was he supposed to wait a month to see a GP or drive across the state to find an U…
