Why should anything of this sort ever deserve a LIFETIME ban?

I wouldn't describe it as a useless trick to know that sin(2x) ≈ 2x for small x. I'd describe this as a basic part of understanding what it means to say sin'(0) = 1.

Twitter's moderation, like every major such website, is a Kafkaesque nightmare with little transparency or review. It would all be fine if they just deleted individual posts. Then it'd be no big deal on an occasional bad call. But

If it's true that users place zero value on most of what the tech industry churns out, then maybe most of what the tech industry churns out really isn't that valuable.

Boole didn't work with XOR, as such, and certainly not with F2. Boole worked with polynomials over the integers. Not all such polynomials directly represented propositions for him. But those which sent 0 or 1 valued inputs to 0 or 1 va

"That this subject [imaginary numbers] has hitherto been surrounded by mysterious obscurity, is to be attributed largely to an ill adapted notation. If, for example, +1, -1, and the square root of -1 had been called direct, inverse and

The Fed is certainly working to punish labor, by their own statements.

I have savings with years worth of living expenses, and I itch to quit my unsatisfying job and focus on personal interests for a while. Yet it's been drilled into me by my parents society etc never to quit a job without another job lin

Of course interviewers are entitled to or able to do these kinds of interviews. That doesn't mean one can't complain about it, and thereby hope to shift attitudes to where they change what they do. There'd be little to talk a

It's incredible in these comments that so many of you who work in the industry on the employee side are arguing against having more transparency for the employee, and for having more leverage in the negotiating process for the employer

Is it a law of nature that whenever workers do well, the Fed has to curb it? That seems like a deliberate policy choice made not with the average person's interests at heart.

There's nothing wrong with conditional expectation. E[X] = E[E[X | A]], where E[X | A] is a function of the random variable A. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_expectation . When E[X], E[A], and E[X -

This is not the issue. When expected value is well-defined, it is perfectly fair to compute E[X] = E[E[X | A]], where E[X | A] is a function of random variable A ("conditional expectation"). If E[X | A] > A for every particular

Larger home with dedicated office areas? How many people are living in homes without computers? People already want homes that support using a computer, WFH status or no.

They may well get that feeling outside of work. Maybe they like making music but couldn't make a living as a musician. Maybe they're writing a novel. Whatever it is. Most of the things most people in the world enjoy doing are not

Put it in the B configuration. There are 12 boys, which can be thought of as 24 halves bundled in pairs: a half on the outside of the circle, and a half on the inside of the circle. (Conveniently, also, each bundled pair of halves includes

You don't even need to think specifically about exp(ix) unless you're doing calculus and taking derivatives or antiderivatives. Just the fact that there's SOME base of exponentiation such that cos is the even component of exp

Analogous rules can be made for every divisor, but at any rate, here's how it works: 10 is 1/2 in mod 19 world (that is, 10 * 2 = 1 in mod 19 world). So if you have a number ABCD, which means A * 10^3 + B * 10^2 + C * 10 + D, that

How do dairy farmers do it in India (where milk is a huge thing, while beef, while also actually a large industry, is much more controversial)?
