Another important factor is whether the place is monetizable. Places where you can't make money are less likely to be infested with AI.
> The natural equilibrium for a perfect ad market is for the ad spend to be exactly equal to increase in revenue Not quite, the equilibrium is when marginal ad spend results in no change to profit. The ad spend at…
System Settings > Touch ID & Password > Use Touch ID for autofilling passwords. Turn this off on Macs with Touch ID and Safari will autofill without requiring Touch ID.
The probability is exactly zero by definition. The maximum score on a test is a raw score of 100%. Tests are normalized to have the reported scores fit a normal distribution. An out-of-distribution score indicates an…
You seem to be under the mistaken belief that democracy means deciding policy based on opinion polls. This is not how democracies work in practice, and opinion polls often show that most people don't want policy…
It's possible to do proportional representation with a ranked choice voting system where you vote for individuals rather than parties. Or you could allow voters to rank either parties or individual candidates based on…
I don't think national elections need to have districts smaller than a state at all. If all of a state's seats in the House that are up for election were decided in a single state-wide election with multiple winners…
"120" and "0.12%" both have 2 significant digits. "120." and "0.120%" have 3 significant digits.
I don't think it's quite correct to call it a regressive tax. Driving a car in Manhattan is a luxury, so this is a tax on a luxury that subsidizes transportation that works for everyone.
Protests don't need to change the minds of the public to work. For example, protests still work in non-democratic societies in which public opinion has no bearing on policy. They work by directly exerting pressure on…
7 and 49 look the same.
For those who believe that billionaires are a policy failure, the answer is they should be taxed more to the point that there are no more billionaires.
If you want to know whether a drug is more effective than placebo, the answer to that question depends on both the data collected in a study and the initial study design. There’s a reason why it’s meaningless to say…
Unlikely in what probability space? We only see one version of reality so the probabilities that we assign to any outcome are based on a prior choice of probability space. That is why the researchers' intent matters.
You linked to an editorial about ethics. I'm not sure what to make of it, are you against conducting research and communicating it in an ethical way? Or do you disagree about something specific in that article? Either…
Note that as a plane burns fuel, its maximum sustainable altitude and its most fuel-efficient altitude both increase. This explains why the pilots did not climb to a higher flight level earlier.
> How about I authenticate with the payment provider instead of some random store clerk? I don’t want the merchant to even see my name at all. Apple Pay and Google Pay don't show the merchant the cardholder name IIRC,…
A union B is defined as the set of things that are in A or in B; A intersect B is defined as the set of things that are in A and in B. So I don't really see it as an arbitrary choice.
You can interpret 0 and 1 as probabilities. 1 + 1 = 1 in this case makes sense because P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B). You can interpret "A or B" as a set union and "A and B" as a set intersection. Of course it's…
The "disagree and commit" leadership principle is supposed to represent a situation where the manager is the one who disagrees with a subordinate but trusts the subordinate's judgement enough to commit to going along…
Kids need a large house? Not places to play outside with their friends? What is a kid going to do in the suburbs that doesn't rely on being ferried around in a car for hours each day?
It is not possible to prove that calling the server will not produce side effects. The link you provided does not address side effects, but correctness, which is much weaker. A trivial example is that calling the server…
It sounds like you are describing a multidimensional array, which can be used to represent a tensor, but is not conceptually the same thing. A tensor is an element of a tensor product.
If somebody is smart enough to verify that a smart contract does what it says on the tin, they should be more than smart enough to realise that crypto doubling is always going to be a scam.
A copy of digital art has (to an approximation) no value because it is infinitely reproducible. But an hour of an artist's time has value due to scarcity. The obvious answer — that the article doesn't mention for some…
