1·14 hours agoThere’s enough data from COVID that shows pulling students out of school creates students with less social ability than those physically in school.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why doesn't Daredevil just get 'good' rich people to pay off judges and the anti-vigilante task force police, or get them to make sure Fisk doesn't get into office?English
5·3 days agoI don’t think he has the contacts to do that. Daredevil is generally considered a small super hero, he works in Manhattan only and didn’t generally run in the same social circles as the Tony Starks of the world.
It also potentially puts him into a compromising position. What happens if the billionaire wants something to happen that will harm Daredevil’s community?

Also, some forms of chai look very similar to explosives with their new scanners.

31·3 days agoI wouldn’t take the use of AI alone as a sign of mental decline. The question for you should be is if this is the first time you’ve questioned his mental acuity or have you seen issues before and this is just the worst you’ve seen so far.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does a ~20% reduction in oil supply translate to a ~60% increase in price?English
6·6 days agoThere is a concept in economics called price elasticity, which is how the market adjusts to changes in supply and demand. If there are more alternatives for the product or the product is a luxury, the price is usually considered “elastic” as people will stop using the good over paying more for it.
Oil is price inelastic. For a lot of equipment, there isn’t an immediate substitute for oil and people need oil to do a lot of important economic activities. So, if there is a reduction in supply, a lot of people will pay more money to make sure they get their oil, which drives up prices far more than the lack of supply would normally suggest.
That being said, goods are usually more price elastic in the long run. For instance, people might choose an electric car right now over a gas powered car because electric cars now are a lot cheaper in comparison for total use costs.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Since China has so much surveillance camera nowadays, does that mean child kidnapping cases are now non-existent? Like... they shoild be able to instantly locate anyone... right?English
2·6 days agoIt depends if the cameras have enough image definition and are tied to an AI database.
Extrapolating from American technology, it is likely years away from China being able to implement this on a national scale. Even if they did, it would likely roll out starting in government buildings and transit stations first.
I doubt that a system is set up like that in China, but I could see that kind of system being built in the near future.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What’s the easiest way to get certified to practice law in the U.S.?English
4·6 days agoYeah. A lot of state universities have programs where inmates can get degrees from behind bars. If you’re there long enough, you can probably get a law degree starting from an associates degree.

6·6 days agoWhat a lot of those movies leave out is that they are attending an accredited law program to get their J.D. degree. It doesn’t have to be a good law school, just one that meets the education requirements.

Law school is going to be a lot faster than reading law.

3·9 days agoBut while OP may not have use of the data now, they might have a use for it in the future.


Just because it wasn’t accredited as a private school doesn’t mean that isn’t what it functionally was.
I’m also not surprised that this program was functionally better than public school since there public education system in the South became garbage when segregation became illegal.
