This is kind of like saying you can prove everyone dies based on the evidence that everyone who is not currently alive has died. You might place an upper limit using history but in this case I'd guess that limit would…
I think you're misreading my tone because the other poster was so opinionated. I didn't think being Chinese was insulting or something, but had expected a continuing discussion there. And I think my prior response in…
The government heavily revised and reinterpreted patent law many times in favor of software companies starting in the 80s. Otherwise hardware companies would have the only real moat since, as you say, software is…
Shouldn't every country be barring people from leaving the country if they've been charged with a crime? At least if there's a good chance they will flee justice. This seems like a side issue from the question of…

I think the real deciding factor is government policy. So far they have favored software and services companies, letting them eat the lunch of the hardware producers.
They could just as well relocate to California for that matter. The question is are they still controlled by the PRC. China doesn't allow dual citizenship (like other Asian countries), so people might legitimately want…
I don't think their social networks are allowed in China. From your link it looks like they might do R&D for Oculus in China (but may not even be able to sell it there due to the data-collection tie in required). Not…
It may be the opposite of that, trying to inhibit the default mode network.
I think the point is they have to follow the rules of the road because they are allowed in the road. Pedestrians, wheelchairs, etc can go on the sidewalk and be safe from traffic (one hopes). Though it depends on the…
From another perspective, the problem is people entering the workforce without sufficient skills to be valuable to employers anymore. The solution would be to spend more time in training so you can reach senior level…
I'm not an economist but that implies the market maintains some kind of optimal equilibrium price. The reality probably is very noisy like with everything else. Plus there's asymmetric information on both sides meaning…
The number of actual openings is not given. Also the number who turned their offers down (and perhaps the number they disqualified due to being overqualified and too expensive). Ultimately kind of a meaningless metric.
Life extension seems like the kind of thing that can get private funding with relative ease specifically because they aren't trying to compete with the government. There are a lot of private foundations that give out…
National Science Board. Not the entire NSF.
Yes I would have liked to see some more intelligent analysis and statistical justification. This article is just outrage-bait for common consumption.
Obviously they're both supposed to be proxy measures, not realistic scenarios. I was mostly joking before but I do think exams provide a pretty good proxy for ability in the subject if the teacher is decent. Interviews…
Their streets tend to be super narrow, with pedestrians and bicycles sharing the shoulder. And back streets are basically alleys with pedestrians sharing the street with cars. Obviously parked cars there would be a…
High stakes artificial exams can help prepare you for artificial stakes at job interviews where you need to crank out a working solution in 30 mins with jet lag and someone looking over your shoulder
Take home exams were very common when I was in school, which was before you could get answers on the internet. After internet answer and cheating sites came along, a professor would have to either not care and let…
statistically you'd only need about 0.0002 additional children to counter the risk of accidental deaths prior generations of children experienced.
Maybe a visiting scholar kind of thing.
Or significantly increasing life-expectancy. Or new fertility technologies. A few generations is a long time. The birth rates of the immigrant waves would presumably just plummet quickly anyway as they join the culture.…
I'm guessing they get a business visa based on claiming revenue from the rentals, then use that to sponsor more people as employees. As for regulation costs, airbnbs are notorious for not adhering to regulations.…
