"Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves" Richard Feynman

Ultimate Disc, some politics, some science.
No point in only hearing opinions I agree with.

NOTE: I am NOT Chabris or Simons! But I do like their book.

fair, but i do think that smart phones/social media/etc. rot the brain far more than dumb 80's tv and movies ever could.
what's your kid being asked to read in school? my kid goes to a top public hs and they don't read much (i make him anyway - but it's tough).

The SAT was out of 2400 between 2005 and 2016. I did not know that. I was before and my kid is after.

how did they decide which version to use? which version gets to be established as the "true" version by the state?

well, DOGE has said in court that Elon is not in charge/etc., and I think this statement is, in part, to protect Elon from these cases and FIOA requests, etc.
so he's not admonishing, he's protecting (likely at Elon's request).
well, it's a theory.

I'll try to make time to read it. Barnett was my contracts professor at BU. Fun times.

what about "The Hot Beverages We Serve Will Destroy Your Esophagus If You Drink It and Give You 3rd Degrees Burns If You Spill It But That's Not Obvious Because We Put It In Insulated Cups"?

sure, there's a mens rea component to just about every crime. so re vandalism, did he intend to vandalize? i don't think "well, i did, but it was only so i wouldn't blow my cover" works. even a state shield law (for the press) wouldn't cover this, i think.

I'm not sure, but I don't think the felonious "harbor and conceal" is what he thinks it is.

Short version:

1. Musks's Starlink gamed a badly run Trump-era broadband subsidy system to get a billion dollars.

2. The Biden FCC (correctly) reversed the award, saying taxpayer money should be prioritized for more reliable fiber, and that Starlink was expensive and slow.

3. Republicans whined.

Well, it will likely happen one day. It'll be like a dreamless sleep, I imagine.

People are shocking bad at knowing what they are shockingly bad at.
Of course, I could be wrong about that. It's hard to know.

I honestly thought he was "Daniel" but preferred "Dan". The truth is more strange. His name is "James Danforth Quayle".

They should turn it into a cafe or something. Looks awesome. Or just have it open as a Transit Museum annex.
