The details of how this is done seems to matter quite a bit, and if I'm reading this[0] right, if the officers have the discretion about when to turn them on or off use of force mi…

One thing I haven't seen in the discussion is the effect of the tax on the distribution of outcomes. I'm not sure what the latest numbers are, but if 90% of startups are near 0 ret…

If I can continue your analogy (though I admit it's a little confusing) - if a gang member is caught breaking the law and we have another law preventing prosecution, let's fix that…

When you say 'as long as the end user is not financially benefitting' - is the end user the lab conducting the test? You said in an earlier comment that the reimbursement for testi…

The innovation is personalized hydrogels built to avoid rejection, not the induced pluripotent stem cells which were re-differentiated into things. The key was the structural mater…

[ie, up front]

Did you have (even a vague) source for this - I'm willing to search for it given even a vague gesture? I think this indeed sounds like it could be strong evidence, so I'd love to s…

Yours is not a unique sentiment, but I find it so disheartening. Vague laws enforced selectively are bad for the rule of law. Is the schadenfreude from sticking it to whatever Amer…

This sounded interesting, do you have a link to this study? I was going to try to do this analysis for where I live, and after looking up median income for the area, I realized I w…

1) A major difference is the fact that currently they are generally 'unfunded' in that the money isn't actually invested on your behalf. 2) The next is where the risk resides - eve…

It looks like a combination of semantic analysis not being there for the automation to work at the time and maybe some regulations issues (with each state probably having their own…

If I recall correctly from my bioinformatcs classes (years ago) - the non-coding DNA still serve many functions - a protective role by containing sequences which stabilize the stru…

Is the process of adding 'rooms' which are actually arbitrary 'things' (like your laptop, company car, or spare parking permit which is picked up from reception) in calendar not a …

This sounds like a great case for publishing negative results: it will result in meta-analysis about what practices routinely cause bad results and then those papers will be used t…

I imagine that a company can present a plan for complying with a ruling which they also disagree with. Maybe you seemed to be implying they were contradictory?

I get you might not have officially trained a model, but similar model evaluation questions might apply to your diagnosis system. For example, did you do any hand tuning of thresho…

I think the 'new FCC' comment is a reference to the current FCC Commissioner being a former general council at Verizon (though it was awhile ago). Additionally, he's been strongly …

Speaking for myself, I tend to alternate between fiction and non-fiction books. Generally, fiction books are story-driven (any sci-fi/fantasy/general fiction) and center around rel…

I think he is saying that this is not capitalism. The existence of bailouts and government programs to direct the markets is not capitalism's 'need' for those programs, despite any…

Nit: number formatting - is there such a thing as a fractional prescription, why is there a "NNN.0" highlighted everywhere, and are you also able to add in the commas which will ma…

I bought a house in Seattle 2 years ago through Redfin, and had a GREAT experience. We had started with a more traditional realtor first, but the Redfin one was way more responsive…

The original 4.8M valuation (which is his strike price - extrapolating from his share price and ownership %) has now increased to ~40M (extrapolated from 20M raise, estimating ~100…
