IMO it's a lot like garlic in that smells amazing when you're hungry and about to eat it but kind of disgusting to smell outside of that context.

I guess I have a maybe above average sense of smell/taste, or perhaps just more honed from cooking and tasting coffee and spirits for their tasting notes and such.

it was a cohort study, they had over 200k participants who filled out the study form, so even through their was a low effect size the confidence can be quite high.

Lots of kids wanting to hide stuff from their parents and cheating partners will love this feature. If you're a journalist, activist or similar I wouldn't trust it

no worries sometimes I can write more ambiguously than I intend 😅

Not quite sure if you're critiquing my comment or not? I said "parents and community", obviously some parents struggle to be able to put food on the table but I've unfortunately also known parents who despite being able to, do not provide for their children. Regardless, when parents fail the community must step up, schools included which can and should in turn be funded to better be able to provide these services.

Investing in things like this are such no-brainers. Not only so they have great ROI via improving educational outcomes, they're the right thing to do. A child's lack of food is not their fault, but their parents and communitys.

I didn't fine this article very persuasive. While I don't doubt there's problems with the database or similar, it having an over representation minorities isn't surprising considering the socioeconomic factors that cause organized crime are much more prevalent in minority communities. The part where they discuss increased use of less lethal force to me could be more easily ascribed to racism and prejudice than the database itself.

I very easily could have missed something, but after reading other articles on it, it seems even worse than this article portrays it. Eg: folks being denied jobs and housing due to inclusion in the database, or an audit finding only 1.3 thousand people in the database were rightfully there in a database of 32 thousand people!!!

Good riddance.

Bike lanes can be very cheap to make, put down some of those large planters to forbid car traffic and voila :)

A city close to mine additional had a bike purchase voucher for lower income individuals to help subsidize bike purchases (which is a much bigger upfront investment compared to a bus ticket!)

Overall I think you bring some good points! Ultimately the best choice will depend heavily on the area and its context.

Really depends where, but why not both?

Didn't it come out that the paper was sent to preprint without consent of all the authors? If we want to steelman their case, it could be that they're still finishing up documenting and studying some dependent variables for the recreation process.

Ah interesting, I'll have to try some of these out. Other than the default debugger, I've only used ipdb and the barcode debugger, both of which leave some to be desired.

No, but that's mainly because the DNC fell around Biden and hasn't moved away from him since before he was elected. If he'd decided not to run, you've have seen several Democrats get bigger coverage as well as be more active, with help do the DNC to make sure you knew about a few of them.
