Both Ulysses S Grant and Grover Cleveland were heavy consumers of cigars. Both ended up with oral cancer.

That article was a good read. That is a possibility.

By that time he'd already created the foundations for game theory with his minimax theorem of zero-sum games. I think its more likely that he knew was he was doing and expected to lose the money.

What I'm trying to explain is that for the top level juniors who become pros, it is not a hobby or "thing", it is their entire universe. Top junior players that expect to become pros are already touring the world when they

The players that compete in each of the majors does not vary that widely. The most points come from the higher tiered tournaments and to get into the higher tiered tournaments, a player has to have a higher amount of points, which grants th

330k is his earnings from only a little over half of the season. It is probably only half of earnings this year also, considering that an equal amount is likely made from sponsorships, given that Yoshihito is Japan's second highest ra

It is exactly this. Tennis has been the focal point of the entire life of these players. I saw this even in the juniors, no matter the success of the players. For those that were really involved in the sport, their entire life revolved a

People playing tennis professionally aren't simply trying it out. The development of a tennis professional is probably most similar to someone who has been bred to become a classical musician. Those that play tennis or classical musi

This may have been true at one time, but it is not true now. 128 players qualify for the first round of each of the four major tournaments and for each, the players have a guaranteed payday even if they lose in the first round. For the 128

From the interview, Zuckerberg was saying the opposite of the idea that we are nearing a dystopian God-AI timeline. He was saying that other AI companies were trying to create a god AI, but that this likely wouldn't be the case realis

This doesn't appear to be what Zuckerberg was meaning. He was saying in the interview that he thought that closed-source AI companies were trying to create a singular AI that would be like the God AI, which would be superior to all ot

Some of what you listed might be appropriate if the class were a Christianity focused social studies class. By teaching the bible, they would be meaning the teaching of the text of the bible. I'd assume this would be more like a lite

I had the first model of kindle without a keyboard prior to getting an oasis. When it broke, the oasis was really the only choice to replace it due to them removing the physical buttons on all the other models.

The oasis has a touchscreen, but touch turning can also be disabled to prevent accidental page turns. The oasis page turn buttons also rotate depending on the orientation, whether that be right side up, upside down or horizontal, which allo

The physical page turn buttons are why I got an Oasis also. I find the experience much better than having to touch the screen to turn the page. With the physical buttons, it's easy enough to move the page forward or backward while hol

On the contact page of their .com site (funnell.com/company/contact/), on their location map, they give just the street name "Le Grand Avenue, Manila, Metro Manila". There is a different address given for the busine

funnull.com/company/about is a mirror of cdn.miaocwh.cn/company/about. The address given on their website for their Philippines location also isn't a valid address.

It is true that the parent comment was not nuanced and very likely not true. I think it's also true that linking an article from 2020 is a possibly misleading response, since low-income wages have made a sizable jump since then.

by TeaBrain 2y ago
That article is several years old and out of date. The poster you replied to would have been referring to current wages. Low income wages have made the largest percentage gains of any bracket since 2020.

Your first response is ironic considering that the first article that I posted didn't take a position on how the past was relatively better, yet you referred to both as being "rosy retrospection", which doesn't make any

by TeaBrain 2y ago
Rosy retrospection of what? I think you're just repeatedly invoking the term inappropriately. The first link is to an article on home range, which obviously has nothing to do with rosy retrospection, had you even bothered to glance at

by TeaBrain 2y ago
I think this is a lazy response to something that isn't a very good example of rosy retrospection. The rates of all of the things the parent mentioned do happen to have decreased. Studies have also been done on the relative freedom of

I think this hits closer to the mark. For any given description, if a person is able to visualize anything at all, then they don't have the condition. If they do have the condition, then they apparently can't visualize anything.

by TeaBrain 2y ago
I don't think this is a very reliable test, and it even verges on misleading, as there is a degree of complexity that may lead people who do not have aphantasia to believe that they do have the condition. I think this line of thinking

The other guy who responded to the parent is right. The absolute scale for measuring the difference between two Fahrenheit degrees is Rankine.

QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100, which contains the 100 largest non-financial companies, not non-tech companies. Nine of QQQs top ten holdings are tech companies, which by themselves account for almost 50% of the ETFs allocations.

The formula is not thought to have been shared, like the plans to the nuclear reactors were shared. Knowledge of gunpowder is thought to have likely been inadvertently transferred through trade along the silk road, by way of the Middle East
