That's no different legally, only ethically. The FBI does not enforce ethics.

Could anyone explain why it is impossible for a Gaussian distribution to be anti-correlated with a group of N other Gaussians? This proof clearly implies that fact, but none of the discussion seems to remark on it. I can imagine a distribut

GChat/Google Chat were never official branding question any time. Only users used those names.

They are very valuable to many people, but if the cost is borne by a group that acquires no benefit (UC Berkeley, which can use them for its own students for free regardless), then it is not worth that cost. It is absolutely the case that t

Actually, UCB is running multi-million-dollar deficits, they're pretty cash strapped already.

I've never gotten many leads there, but the ones I've gotten have been high-quality.

Words with similar letter distributions will tend to be from the same root languages, which frequently maps to category of discourse (scientific, sophisticated, coarse, exotic, etc.)

A scoring rule I'd like to try maximizes the product of the lengths of the chunks / length of the word. This makes individual letters shuffling less interesting and many medium chunks most interesting, which matches my intuitions.

All you need is cross-party cooperation and an anti-fascist alliance of urban workers and rural farmers. Yup, we're doomed.

When Earth's magnetic field reverses (it's periodic and we're overdue), it does not protect from solar radiation for a while, making the outdoors toxic and destroying most electronics as a result.

I don't see why this is illegal, any more than counting cards in blackjack.

Most politicians do in fact do what they say they will. It's not actually rare.

Thank you for sharing the eShares 101; reading it showed me two things that would have been dealbreakers before we could waste any time talking. (They were required 8:30 AM start time once a week in the more distant office and How To Win F

I don't think it's fair to call the Pauls more central examples of libertarianism than Johnson. They're more moderate on most things but also have a strong strain of cultural conservative that cuts against the libertarian str

This has been decreasingly true in recent years, in fairness. They've still been standing up for the principles of a liberal society consistently, but it's gotten polarized like everything else.

Authoritarians are very possibly not welcome. Non-authoritarian members of the religious right, cultural conservatives, etc. are very likely welcome. (And of course any variety of libertarian.)

Backlash from the tons of big companies still using it will become lobbying to keep it supported. I don't expect them to stop in the next couple years, or the next few, etc. There's less muscle behind keeping Python 2, but there&#

EOL was extended once. Why not twice? Why not every time Mickey Mouse is about to enter the public domain?

Wiles was weird at the time. Math is done in public, he just really wanted to be the one to have the final valid proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.

I started App Academy two years ago. I had programmed in college and was generally code-literate, but had no portfolio, no confidence, and no idea how to build either convincingly. And I didn't actually have an idea of how code is writ

I kind of hate that blog. They make fun of things for basically being slightly tacky. A lot of the criticism feels like it's just 'Stop Having Fun' Guy. (The heating bills for mcmansions are another story, but that's unr
