There are several of different options. The most obvious is an independent line of authority delegated from the state's legislature or governor. This is where the police get THEIR authority. Other options include close…
Certainly, there's a libertarian argument made against requiring seat belt use, including mathematical economics models that can prove it... provided a few unstated assumptions are met--like rational agents, complete…
Reinforcement learning gets ignored again... :/
Likely because bots and troll farms are totally out of control, and they don't have a more accurate way of fighting it. IMHO, this is also the reason behind some of the heavy-handed moderation on some subreddits.…
If this is intended to make a §230 argument, consider that its reason d'etre is based on the complete impracticality of pre-clearing user generated content. The practical considerations differ by orders of magnitude…
Tunnel vision is a thing. Taking some time to zoom out is often incredibly useful. Also, the philosophy and sociology of science are a VERY different thing from "the humanities".

Diversity e.g., in higher education admissions isn't just about what's fair for the students, it's also about what's best for the university and the students. Universities are naturally xenophillic--both in their desire…
Variables go "out of scope" (in at least one sense) at last use, but are not `Drop`-ed (de-allocated, etc...) until the end of the function. The difference is important because of rust's rule against simultaneous…
According to whom? The propagandists of their political adversaries, I'd wager.

The problem with this is that consumer Internet access is priced based on the assumption that it will be "bursty". Heavy users are subsidized by light users, both on a moment-to-moment basis and overall. Reselling…
That's true in general now. Particularly in industries with high capital intensity, network effects, and/or monotonically increasing returns to scale. But that's a LOT of modern industries. It wasn't always that way...…
The purpose of (most) speech is to create action. If the phrase "I'm going to kill you" is intended to alter someone's behavior. If property is involved, whether it's through force or threat of force, it's still…
That only works if you're actually going to act on the intelligence gathered from having the discussion centralized. That's something the U.S. is clearly willing to do with, e.g., ISIS. But even what limited programs we…
The price of Amazon stock is ultimately supported by expectations of future dividends. The same is true for other stocks too, of course. Whether or not the company has paid out dividends in the past is a good predictor…
Speaking for myself... The most obvious example was my response to emotional situations in fiction. Going from only being able to empathize with characters only on an intellectual level to also being able to empathize…
While anecdotes aren't evidence themselves, they're extremely useful (1) when there aren't scientific studies available and (2) for generating theories that can later be tested. Whether they're interpreted as an…
There's more to "capital" than a physical machine. Compare the cost of creating software (often many millions) to the per unit cost of copies of that software (zero). Compare the cost of developing a new processor…

One theory that seems plausible to me is that there's deliberate confusion and misinformation created to combat or discredit leaks. Imagine that there's an adversary who has access to "open source" accounts that make it…
Yup, thanks. Will be more careful with that distinction in the future. =)
No, but Rust provides this memory safety without GC, which is AFAIK, unique in a mainstream language. The type system knowing about ownership and borrowing also allows the elimination of race conditions (outside of…
Yeah, but then you have to do orders of magnitude more transactions, creating a large paper trail in exactly the place you'd want to avoid that.
