expose the damage the bill does to millions of Trump’s voters
to benefit his Mar-a-Lago and crypto-wealthy friends.
But it’s also an occasion to shatter the illusion that Trump is some sort of policy innovator.

Classical FDR control methods (e.g., BH, q-value, and LocalFDR) assume independence among tests and often lead to high false non-discovery rates (FNR). Although various spatial FDR control methods have been developed to improve power, they still …

Self-driving technologies need the help of the public: A narrative review of the evidence
If public trust is lot in a new technology early in its life cycle it can take much more time for the benefits of that technology to be realised. Eventually tens-of-millions of people will collectively have the power to determine self-driving technology success of failure driven by their perception of risk, data handling, safety, governance, accountability, benefits to their life and more.
