As someone who plays a lot of online multiplayer, there's a few issues. A lot of games do have skill based matchmaking systems (aka SBMM) in place. Ideally, this would lead to peop…

As a note to the author/OP, nothing more

There's been enough follow-up on this case to come to the conclusion that he fabricated the data. The Hartford insurance company's statement contradicts his claim. The PNAS study w…

Love it but note that Dan Ariely is a fraud: https://datacolada.org/98

We never quite did enough in NYC. One gym in Williamsburg stayed open even during March and just kept paying the fine. There just hasn't been that much enforcement. We came to the …

+1 to pandering in mining/oil. The field really felt like a fraternity (House SPE), where ideas only moved as fast as the old guard felt like it. I also felt like a necessary skill…

Could be a reference to "geoengineering" patents like Myhrvold's StratoShield, but he is a huge patent troll so I doubt that development is far along.

Yeah I've seen this kind of pocket experimented with a lot in techwear. These Y-3 pants have a great side pocket: https://media.yoox.biz/items/36/36876259pl_14_d.jpg I've found it …

Technically SA wouldn't be the only country in the area to be able to produce a bbl under $40, but as you and others have echoed, that's not the whole story.

9-10 years ago. Spanish Harlem during peak stop and frisk era/doctrine. What I remember most was how routine it all was for everyone involved. Driver would sometimes pull the car u…

Grew up in Harlem though not black. While I'm sure there are good police out there, broken windows policies effectively act as a safe haven for a subset of cops to enforce arbitrar…

Wish I still had a mac. I remember Bang and Olufsen doing some spatial audio research a few years back: https://www.en.tech.aau.dk/news-events/news/new-lab-mimics-t... It's nice to…

Used to be in the oil and gas space. One of the biggest issues with orphaned wells is that local enforcement is so comically lax. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/11/orphaned-…

I noticed that and I do think it is nice. I have to extract and transcribe long sequences, so it would be nice to have the audacity label track feature to bookmark/label a bunch of…

I would love the ability to label and extract sections like in audacity! That’s the only thing missing from my use case

Wow the JR Beetle is super fast! Didn't know about that, my knowledge is pretty old, thanks!

Not sure about the Russia and China routes but the Busan-Shimonoseki ferry is pretty impractical. 13 hrs and about as expensive as a flight. More if you consider train costs from S…

Did some searching around and found a hidden fork, have you tried this? https://github.com/Alpha-Drive/universe-windows-envs/tree/ma...

What ever happened to the OpenAI/universe GTA sandbox? Is there any reason Rockstar shouldn’t support research using their game?

Thinking, Fast and Slow is good if you like pop-sci, but has aged like milk if you are into the science. I respect Kahneman for walking back some of his claims since but he needs t…

> This works if you're close enough to the rich farmer's markets and suburban customers around NYC. Absolutely, or if you already have some sort of distribution in place. Non-essen…

My experience was similar to the author's in that I grew up around family members who were in advanced stages. The possibility of inheritance stares you in the face whenever they'r…

The parent states: > "no evidence of efficacy" does not imply evidence of no efficacy, and in fact the uncertainty in this study is quite large. The sample size is small enough tha…
