Absolutely crushing loss.

Part of the art of talented lawyering is being able to write a "just the facts" explanation that nonetheless tilts the reader in your favor. In contast to that, this intro is just ham-fisted critique that reveals the panel's own biases on the issue.

[Adrian Vermeule @Vermeullarmine]

It’s poor lawyering to be unable even to fairly state the rationale for the regulation, even if that rationale or the accompanying process is eventually found inadequate.

Okay… need to settle a bet between my 7 year old and 9 year old

Team A - Shaq, Timmy, Larry, Steph, magic
Team B - Joker, LeBron, KD, MJ, SGA

Who wins????

[Corey Niles @nilescbn]

@robstaton Even if it was flicked on, I still don't get it. What's the purpose of the offsides rule? Why would the defense play differently based on the fact that the #20 headed it or not? It seems like a terrible rule to me. Please educate me.

You gotta think the Blazers are gonna be celebrating this win for the entire 31-hour Greyhound ride back to Portland.

Dire warnings about over-population were the norm in the public discourse in the 1960s and 1970s. Ehrlich didn't create it. He was one of many stident voices on the subject.

Garret Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons," The Club of Rome's "Limits to Growth," William and Paul Paddock's "Famine 1975!," Kingsley Davis (an actual demographer) created "Zero Population Growth," David Brower at Sierra Club, William Vogt "The Road to Survival," Fairfield Osborn, "Our Plundered Planet," THOMAS MALTHUS, "An Essay on the Principle of Population"--1798.

Demonizing Ehrlich for all that is misplaced.

Who got the subject completely right at the time was biologist Barry Commoner, who wrote "The Closing Circle." He said there was a "demographic transition" coming that would defuse the whole problem. His book was popular, but he was absolutely vilified for being so obviously wrong about population. (Much like Ehrlich is now.)

I wrote about all this in my 2010 book, "Whole Earth Discipline: The Rise of Ecopragmatism."

The rate of human population growth was at its most frightening about 1968. That turned out to be the maximum. It inflected then toward the S-curve we are experiencing now. Back then, nearly everyone thought it was a J curve that would keep ascending until everything crashed, and civilization would end.

The DeGroot prize is a huge honor in the #Statistics field. Congratulations Richard! Statistical Rethinking is a masterpiece. Stunningly intuitive and currently the most influential stats text of all.

If we want to think like a scientist more often in life, we must be more humble about what we know, more confident about what is possible, and less afraid of things that do not matter.

Just an unbelievable turn of events in Toronto. George Springer and Bo Bichette collide out in center fielder.

The bases clear and it’s now a 9-9 ballgame. Wow.

Thank you so much for this thread, Mr. Hagan, @joehagansays. You almost presciently understood precisely what I was at least attempting to do to the best of my abilities during the hearing Thursday.

@cougsgo You were, by a wide margin, the funniest host to ever grace the 710 airwaves. Leave it to the old guy to be the most consistently punk rock, transgressive and contrarian, always questioning the accepted narrative and pushing the conversation in interesting places. You are missed.
