86 years old might actually be relevant. An uncomfortable truth is that an uncomfortable fraction of our behavior is actually simple neuro-physical and not really a good basis for defining character. There was a case of a man, no criminal r

Sounds good in theory, but fails to account for the cost of uncertainty in understanding how much it will cost to get somewhere. Good chance people say "screw this, I'm taking a car".

You should call it d/dx bar. Anyway, I love the choice of theta because a while ago I came up with a nice notation for sin and cos and this fits it really well. When I first learned trig, it was by way of skipping into physics early. I

Another way is to realize waves of different frequency are literally orthogonal vectors. Also, RGB colors form a literal color space. So at the cost of sacrificing normally colored objects, you can have rainbow banding in the 4th direction.

Because 25! = 25*(24!), and 25 itself is 100/4. So 25! = 10*(10/4)*24! Now since we are given 24! ~10^24, it follows that 25! ~ (10/4)*10^25. But 10/4 is just a bit over 2, not a strong enough multiplicative factor to br

Imagine you're doing your math on a car odometer that only goes up to 4 digits. When you reach 10k it wraps around. For any X it is easy to find the complement ~X because you can just map the digits independently (0,1,2,3,4 -> 9,8,7

Try pointing out its mistakes when it hasn't made a mistake. You'll usually get the same "I'm sorry, here's the correct answer" output.

You say muscle strength peaks at 25 as if it supports your point about the 25-30 year old fighting condition, when the same fact could equally well support the case for the fighting condition of the 20-25 year old demographic. Car accident

Meh. Lets not pretend like a 16 year old signing papers to join the army was too dumb to understand it meant they were joining the army. 16 is hardly fingers-in-the-wall-socket level of understanding the world.

6 possible dice values log2 gives around 2.6 bits per roll. Naively you can spend 3 bits per roll, wasting .4 bits each time, or you can pack n bits into a single message to asymptotically approach 2.6 bits per roll on average. But you can&

Well generally, its a group of people organized around a shared interest in hating some other group of people. Not much different from asking "what's a woodworking organization?" or "whats a criminal organization?"
