Birth rates are predicted to keep going down though, meaning the supply of immigrants will dry up anyway.

Looks like the links in the second paragraph are examples or perhaps origins of the myths he is attacking. The topic is apparently his phd thesis.

You need ID to get that job flipping burgers. Two forms of it for the I-9. Though not proof of residency perhaps. Once you have the job you can use the paycheck as proof of residen…

They have actuaries to make sure they get their profit margin either way. Healthy insurance customers just make sick insurance customers happier since the price goes down.

Yeah but I'm guessing you wouldn't be willing to pay them that now. Their point was the high risk versus the high reward. Even if investors gave such money to thousands of longevit…

It's junior high. But with grown adults doing the teasing and bullying.

If you put slower kids into (legitimately) accelerated programs they just get left behind and do even worse. When you separate children into classes that proceed at different rates…

Maybe it's just your points idea that's not very good. If you were punished with traffic school and just ignored it they can still increase penalities and eventually come arrest yo…

Just eliminate fines altogether and give some more appropriate punishment like traffic school (which must also be free...)

I think the poster was generally referring to the fact that students who progress at a faster rate will have an advantage by simple virtue of having covered more material in school…

Are you sure that isn't what you are doing by refusing to consider the specifics of critics' complaints? Woke policies have a societal/political agenda in terms of ethnic and other…

The issue with gifted children isn't about indoctrinating them to whatever beliefs. It's the destructive belief that high academic achievement is the result of some unfair "privile…

That sounds to me like you're conceding it is true but you just don't like the way I worded it. Which is horrifying. But are you saying they don't even want to offer calculus in hi…

so the alternatives are: A. lifetime benefits from being challenged up to their real potential during their most-formative years, versus alternative B. being cooler for a few years…

The standard is no undue burden. That does not cover minor hassles like paperwork. Unless you're claiming it's some kind of language issue.

But our way is easier to say with braces. (I'm not going anywhere with this...)

Isn't that effectively the same argument though? In practice states provide ID's to everyone who can prove residency. Forcing states to grant ID's to everyone who asks for it is th…

I don't know that the US is especially worse than other countries when it comes to time and paperwork needed to receive govt services. I have waited in long lines all over the worl…

Which side of the argument includes people who are on board with allowing backdoors into (otherwise) secure communication as long as it requires a warrant or some similar oversight…

I agree it's not only deterrance (cops cared just as little when my gps was stolen in a good neighborhood versus in a bad one). You still need to ability to compare risk versus rew…

People cite preprints in their references. So as an expert you can find the preprints that others based their work one. And you can use a tool like google scholar to find preprints…

> I'm only speaking about publishing in journals, because peer review in conferences is a very different beast. In my field, of machine learning and artificial intelligence researc…

But if you entered a country's airspace or waters without permission you'd be arrested or worse. This is more like preventing everyone from doing things that are illegal for Americ…

Probably the same. From what I can tell, "technically precocious boy" means the same thing as "technically precocious". It's a no-win situation for the researchers.

I mean that the smart kids will show the most results for the same budget. The utilitarian metric could also show that the average moves the most, and society benefits most, when t…
