For the example given I am not primarily interested in controlling how many results I get: when filtering by price I want to filter by the precise amount money I am willing to spend. Putting in weird non-linear mappings between slider posit

Yeesh, that guy never heard of Paul the Octopus... And the magical, "subjective", idea of talking to the voters to gauge support that would solve everything? That's what polls __are__, does he not know?

Yeah, but "science" is not something they put in the name of their departments. Nor will you find something like a "planetary protection engineer" among their open positions.

Not for the first launch we won't. They might get something a cut over an rc car with an iphone taped to the top, but with the time line suggested there is no way to slap together something that will do anything new : the trip will be

What are you talking about? First off, your point was that reports of domestic violence was almost always involved in child dispute cases, which I remarked was not true. Secondly, the calls for assistance is basically reports to the police,

Um, there is a bit of a difference between how you use Windows and how you use iOS. Notably, there is no real notion of long running process in iOS.

Well, in Logan, Walker, Jordan, and Horvath (2002) 40% of cases in Kentucky over a two year period did not mention violence (and the court ruling was largely insensitive to the presence or not of violence allegations). Using the number &quo

No way they will be able to plan, make, and test any interesting instruments if they start now. With the proposed time line it is guaranteed to be a pure put trash on Mars mission.

Yeah, verbifying von Braun doesn't make something with a clear meaning.

This is a depressingly simplistic tracker, they simply average on the latest polls, discarding some outliers first. Given how poor pollsters have performed recently they could just as well average over all polls that shows the "stay&qu

Look, all I want is that you clearly state if you think the sandy hook school shooting is kind of like the Northeast blackout of 2003. Also, of the 12 deaths wikipedia reports as "contributed to" by the blackout, one is someone fa

The point of an analogy is to illuminate some point of an issue by drawing parallels with an aspect of a more easily understood, unrelated issue. For an analogy to be helpful it crucial that the two aspects being related share characteristi

Man, top grade data presentation here!

So, is it the Stockton schoolyard or 101 California Street shooting that you liken to a blackout? I guess its a pretty dramatic blackout since at least 5 people dies... You also neglect the detail that the police response was of little cons

Indeed, another example of this is how NBA basketball players are worse than all the amateurs on the streets! And lets not forget how the cousin of your boss that enthusiastically read some tutorials on the net is a much better programmer t

I get the feeling that this is a discovery well known in the art world: that you really need to study the subject you intend to draw to even get the most basic details right.

Well, if you read the description, the first task actually includes tacking on the bits of frame you think are missing. So with all the subjects rising to your level of pedantry crowding out the other people, the drawing task should have mu

This concern is only relevant if you think that the only thing preventing the regulators from changing the signs is the technological hassle of doing it. If you rather believe than the signs change based on the need to accommodate a film c

Some of the charities mentioned are clearly advocating for policy change (lifting copyright and restructured tax schemes), and I think that generally all charities must decide how to relate to the current structure of the world because what

In an initial reading it strongly implies Mayvenn thinks its customers don't know that checks can be redeemed for normal money. There is also a bit of a scale jump from "pay your rent, your car" to "your shoes". But

More significant I guess is how excited the author manges to be over these coincidences. Maybe a word of caution is needed: Overly generous interpretations is how things like Nostradamus or the hidden code of the bible retain their credibil

Also of note is that the airplane pictured in the original article (a F-35) is not used in combat yet, nor is it likely that the limited numbers delivered by now will be rated for combat any time soon unless the US gets into a serious peer
