This does raise the question of how many cases are actually up in the air at all. One would think that given the IQ distribution of criminals a majority of cases involving arrests are quite open and shut, with suspects usually being caught

Where do you place the cutoff for opportunity? Are things like innate ability, motivation, interest in lucrative pursuits for their own merits, luck of the draw not also just another kind of opportunity? There is no standard because nobody

They're not measuring the projection of the acceleration vector on the velocity vector, they're measuring the projection of the velocity vector on the acceleration vector and limiting that. Which makes no sense for a speed limitin

That's not the strange thing. The strange thing is limiting it on a projection rather than the magnitude of the velocity vector.

The thing I don't understand is why you would limit velocity in such a strange way to begin with.

Getting to play again after being shot in the face is not realistic either, yet pretty much all FPS games implement this feature. I wonder why?

Vietnam was not special because of the amount of collateral damage done but rather due to some serious strides being made towards avoiding or minimizing it for the first time. Let's not forget that in Korea levelling every city north o

No, that's not my point and it's extreme arrogance on your part to assume that coding is some sort of arcane art only accessible to a select few. Programming is a skill like any other, you develop it with experience. DS&A scre

You are probably more easily taught how to write good programs because a) your understanding of the basics is solid; b) let's face it, these brain teasers are often proxies for intelligence testing. If they have a glut of candidates fo

A race to the bottom is the natural order of things in a market economy. Society at large benefits from it because the prices of goods and services go down, and less of your money goes towards subsidizing somebody's inflated lifestyle.

Mean and average are the same thing. You might be referring to the median instead.

I'd argue nobody anywhere has actually learned a language in class, ever. You pick it up by using it, and then may or may not remember all the arbitrary rules and restrictions that were taught in school.

My point is that any business would have done the same. Expecting one to not look out for its own bottom line and rely on the kind heartedness of its customers is misguided. The problem is with the game, not the player.

The reason your opinion is controversial is because it assumes an ill-defined transient state as a stable equilibrium. What exactly is it about the human brain that makes it so special? Why couldn't other systems given many, many order
