Penn and Teller usually show you how a trick works the simple old way (like by using transparent props), and then do the trick again in a mysterious way that you can see is NOT being done the way they showed you.

Hypnosis only works if the hypnotee wants to be hypnotized or feel social pressure to play along, not what lay people usually think hypnotism means.

The problem is simple to solve with computer algorithms, but hard for impatient people to implement whenever​ they don't need data management across the "analog hole"

It was much speedier before the new odomoter laws

The odomoter is driven by the speedometer in many vehicles.

Law enforcement can be incompetent or liars (legally!) just as well as private citizens can.

You strangely discount the quite reasonable possibility that something serious happened and you have important information about it but are not a suspect. Now, law enforcement can certainly abuse their power, but there is nothing axiomatically entailed that makes a critical witness into a suspect.

Your example applies almost exactly in US law too

Still, you must ask yourself, what does it mean to criminalize theft when huge segments of the population either does it, or has the privile of not needing it, or is an supposedly unwitting beneficiary. If I indirectly aid a possibly criminal act to feed my family, why are my spouse and children more innocent than someone who lacks a criminal benefactor?

That's a clickbait book title, not an academic study. The book cites examples of prosecutorial overreach, not all of which obtained convictions. And the examples tend to the arcane, like importing food, not activities most people engage in.

The most commonly commotted one is lying to an employer to claim a paid sick today... And frankly it's unclear to me why people thing that's acceptable, but taking $100 from a convenient store cash register is not.

This is libertarianism, not conservativism

Little of column a little of column b. The state, it's made of people, including those children.

Because the US doesn't have a uniform tax rate, due to a federated power structure.

If you don't like it, you don't have to migrate.

Property tax is progressive because rich people purchase more property, and real property tax is critically important because real estate is a permanently finite resource.

Think of it like this: your public education was provided not for a fee, but for an equity stake in You, Incorporated.b the more you earn, the more the state gets back, like an investor.

The anti-Glass

Interesting that she wrote a book and then ignored her findings when planning her own life.

What possible benefit is there to sell a property just to buy another? That just burns transaction costs, and forcing people to live alone harm's mental health and is economically inefficient. Your Plan is built on prejudice not logic.

No editor besides Atom has this problem. Do they all use ropes?

You not knowing what a word means doesn't take it clickbait

Of course we can. But we have a self-preservation instinct.

The best marathon runners are from an African community of genetically strong marathoners , who run a lot all their lives. Nature + nurture beats either alone

Retric has made many posts conflating above-average intelligence with the extremely high intelligence that the article talks about.

Obviously if you define intelligence as "successful" than intelligence correlates with success. That's a circular void claim.

Are you joking? Jeff Dean fails by your metric of "game changing", and so do almost everyone at Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple, except for the 6 people at the top of the hierarchy. You think Larry and Sergey ar slept responsible for Google's game changing inventions?

The solutions here make the common mistake of ignoring the cost of stack space, and thereby incorrectly claiming that recursive solutions have lower space complexity than iterative solutions.

Over half your body weight is microbes that are not part of your human body. Some helpful, some harmful. That is our digital future.

Companies do lots of technical work to comply with regulations. It's silly to propose that they don't.

Differnt issue.

4'33 is a recording of the audience, not silence. I studied it in a music class in school.

Cage's estate's infringement claim on "silence" was not upheld by a court.

The defendant on that suit put Cage's name on the album as a songwriter, of his own accord.
