the bond example is a return on your money, the profit margin example is a return on other people's money.
If this was copy-pasted, isn't it much more likely that it was copy-pasted from a document describing the performance of the SA3000 chip, than from a document that was written before the SA3000 was developed? The only…
Here's a comparison of the Medieval Warm Period with recent temperatures (so no model based speculation). https://skepticalscience.com/print.php?r=31
There's a lot to unpack here: - the warming in the Medieval Warming Period is modest compared to projected modern warming - The Alps are currently "warm enough" to be crossed without special gear much of the year. Otzi…
For the past ~60 years... with maybe just a bit of slack on the start of that, it would include tremendously impactful things like: - the clean air act and clean water act - endangered species act and restrictions on…
This isn't really the issue, most of the cost of reviewing new drug applications is covered by user fees. And most of the cost and time required for getting a drug approved is in the clinical trials. FDA resources…
protein and carbohydrate are both 4 calories per gram?
The claim could be true even if every customer is exactly like you. The implication is that Costco doesn't really make money selling stuff, they just need to roughly break even. And "breaking even" here includes paying…
Not sure how that follows. It seems mostly irrelevant whether the new incident is related to the github issue.
The cheapest option might be to buy the index and sell short the appropriate amount of Musk companies.
Mostly never -- most of the deferral was an accounting adjustment for the value of future tax credits that they could no longer take advantage of, so there is no actual tax liability here that will eventually be paid.
Yes but if the solar panel area scales linearly with radiator area, the problem doesn't get worse?
This isn't really true, though? The ISS does it with radiators that are ~1/2 the area of its solar panels, and both should scale linearly with power?
What does it mean to "fund protests"? I'm also a "normal" person who has been to a couple No Kings protests, and no one paid me. Someone spent some money on fliers, I suppose. The major No Kings events were in June and…
"With Bitcoin you do not get government bailouts" -- yeah maybe not yet? Is it beyond belief that a government with leadership deeply invested in crypto currencies might take action if something super disruptive happens?
I think I'm not understanding what comparison you're trying to make. I thought you were expressing some doubt about whether H1B, or temporary skilled worker visas generally, were beneficial for the host country. You…
All the countries you mention offer temporary work visas for skilled workers, of varying similarity to an H1B.

The terminations so far focus on anything with any mention of a DEI related objective and that may seem "fine", but these don't constitute a lot of the NSF's budget (the terminated grants total < $1 billion and if you…
are you asking about methods to improve privacy of aggregated datasets? They seem to be not super popular with people in the field, I think because they sharply curtail how data can be used compared to having access to…
I would not argue with you on that it is "selling your data". But I also think there are meaningful differences in harm levels for different kinds of "selling your data", and fully identified data has more potential…
I can go to a data broker and purchase access to de-identified EMR data for most of the U.S. population. There are much more useful de-identified datasets around than ours, if someone is motivated to try to re-identify…
Indeed, but here "re-identification" generally means the sort of attack where you have an aggregated genomic dataset, and you already have access to full genomic data for a target individual, and you use the genomic…
Here "de-identified" means stripped of PII (name, address, phone number, email, etc). You are correct that genetic information is intrinsically identifiABLE (in the sense that it is stable and uniquely distinguishing…
