Revisiting the archives, Hoek realized this common paraphrasing featured a misinterpretation that flew under the radar until 1999, when two scholars picked up on the translation of one Latin word that had been overlooked: quatenus, which means "insofar", not unless.
To Hoek, this makes all the difference. Rather than describing how an object maintains its momentum if no forces are impressed on it, Hoek says the new reading shows Newton meant that every change in a body's momentum – every jolt, dip, swerve, and spurt – is due to external forces.
Right, no doubt to a philosopher this makes all the difference, but we haven't been reading it wrong. Words are transient and the result is exactly the same as Newton's first law, but with more words. Sounds like an academic in need of a grant sensationalizing old stuff
There's an interesting book on psychology (by a nobel Prize winner) called "Thinking Fast and Slow", Daniel Khaneman.
It's called regression to the mean. The military said that yelling after bad pilots made them good and praising good pilots made them bad. Kahneman proved that yelling at them when they were good made them bad too and vice versa. It's just that great pilots can sometimes be bad, and bad pilots can sometimes be good, it had little to do with how they pushed them. Along with loss aversion, people are pretty terrible judges of value.
You can't teach/explain everything. Small warnings and you can talk about it when it happens, when they understand. You shouldn't need to prove they're crazy or that you're sane. Most people who do aren't.
I think everyone is good with EV subsidies, just not those for companies whose executives have conflicts of interests as they act as government officials overseeing the spending.
Martial law remained in effect until it was officially lifted on January 11, 1990. They stayed there and kept harassing people. They didnt leave the city, these tanks were not going home and tankman wasn't trying to keep them there. His source doesn't even say what he says it says.
Well yeah, if you dont declare all your income to dodge taxes, they shouldn't be surprised the income can't be used for credit. But if it's just cash then it's not traceable, you can declare less and keep more in your pocket than an electronic transaction
It also depends how the company declares their outgoing tips and contributions (different in US vs canada of even states/provinces).
Sighhh... Unzips
