> red state prisons sit full of petty dime bag dealers

Does anyone know where to get at the raw statistics for this kind of information? So that we can figure out how many prisoners there are in red states vs. blue states for marijuana possession?

Another fun twist would be to see what effect there would be if you mentioned that no one from Puerto Rico voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

Anyone have a good estimate the total amount of money spent in the name of education in the U.S. in the last 50 years? I'd be interested to see the total pre-k through university graduate school, including both public (local, state, federal) and private.

That sounds awfully static. The interesting thing will be to see if people with unconditional money end up becoming addicts at higher rates. Are the study researchers planning on making the data openly available? Is it going to be cash payments, or will it be some sort of debit card where the researchers can track whether people are spending money at grocery stores, or at casinos?

Just to make sure that we aren't all talking past each other...

1. I assume the FBI is investigating the hack itself (who did it, etc.). Citation?

2. I assume the SEC is investigating the suspicious timing the executives who were selling stock before the announcement. I'd also assume it could turn into a criminal investigation. Cite?

3. The class action suit is a civil action asserting that Equifax was negligent (that's what the Bloomberg article that these comments are currently pointing to is about).

4. There could be criminal negligence in securing their networks. It seems like that could be either of a Federal or state issue. Anyone know if this investigation would take place with the FBI, or if there is another federal agency which would take the lead on that?

You are right. The sheriff that covers Ryegate, MT commutes in every day from New York City, and the school bus drivers commute from Seattle, likewise the mailman commutes in from D.C., and the garbage man from San Francisco.

Interesting. I'd like to learn more about this. Any pointers to how other languages and cultures don't distinguish between math and science? Does it apply to other things like the difference between induction and deduction as well?

Here's an utterly trivial question. Do most people working on computational problems like this consider themselves mathematicians or scientists?

Is there a way to find out how much Foxconn pays in U.S. taxes right now? Or how much revenue they earn in the U.S.? If Apple has Foxconn make phones in Taiwan, and Apple then ships phones to the U.S., then Foxconn doesn't pay any taxes to the U.S. on those transactions, right? Only Apple would right? If Foxconn doesn't pay any tax to the U.S. right now (???), and they build a factory in the U.S. and don't pay any taxes in the future, then it is a wash (except for now the U.S. employees would be paying income tax, etc.). Or am I missing a piece of the puzzle? (As in, maybe Foxconn is currently paying a lot in U.S. taxes from whatever operations they have in the U.S. currently?)
