"Tell us your life's dreams so we can use them to sell aspirational lifestyle ads!" Or is that not the model? Also your favicon display's Osama Bin Laden's initials. PS this looks cool
This was an interesting story and sounds like a good program. Are there other "non-traditional programming internships" out there (i.e., entry-level training positions for people who are not 18 but also not already…
Yes, this is at least superficially like Newcomb's problem. Your argument roughly corresponds to an argument for the "one-box" move in that game. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcomb%27s_problem]
I don't really like that argument. Even granting that you should consider the possibility that you are a simulation running in the box (you might believe that this is all but certain), I'm not sure you have reason to…
What a strange thing to say. It is irrelevant from the myopic point of view of a patient receiving care, at the moment they are receiving the care. It is far from irrelevant as a matter of social policy, because society…
But the money is just as wasted no matter who pays it.
Let's distinguish two possible theories: 1) The underlying companies of the BSA (incl. AAPL and MSFT) were not really in favor of SOPA to begin with, and the public attention has lead them to correct the initial BSA…
The paper in the link includes an instrumental variable model to look at exogenously caused birth spacing (caused by miscarriages). So if the model does what the abstract says it does, then that pins down the direction…
Well, it was a rapidly published cash-in effort. The book industry puts out tons of titles that have no enduring value but are keyed into a very specific marketing opportunity. You don't get paid when someone finishes a…
No. Catastrophic failure does not somehow naturally lead to reform and success. Look at all the catastrophic failures out there that are not in the middle of dazzling recoveries. In fact success is a rare and fragile…
