How could the organisers know what future members want then the company spend much effort on preventing workers from talking to each other?

Sure, but there is no typographical convention for how to indicate that a number is following such a norm so you can never tell from the number alone.

Whenever you've not personally done the error propagation and rounding yourself you shouldn't assume someone else has done it for you, and you should check if they have before trusting it. For example, the number you are viewing c

Not sure how you're supposed to do floating point math while following that rule... you'll have better luck with writing C code with all semicolons in place.

No, what is weird is that the original author seems to think you can look at a number and know how many significant digits it has. This is almost completely wrong: the number of significant digits is something given by metadata, you cannot

I guess the lesson is that not even Texans think nuclear is so safe it doesn't need weather protection, or maybe it's some pesky federal regulation that says that at least the reactor needs to be protected...

As Marge excuses herself after joining in with the taunting of Lisa's vegetarianism: "I got caught in the rhythm". If it still doesn't make sense to you: don't worry about it, it's all just made up anyway.

I mean, it's pretty realistic at incinerator plants, the concentrations and temperatures are such that you use up some reasonably small percentage of the total plant effect on capture and you can capture 90 % of the generated CO2. The

Texas had no power because they forgot everything they learnt the hard way from their "once-in-a-decade snow storm" they had 2011. Coal piles freezing solid because there is no roof, gas valves impossible to operate because nobody

Uh, that was about a very small bit of two songs that were very similar/identical. The notion that you can't just steal a large part a song and it'll be legal because it's not the full work is a pretty obvious one. Bey

Tesla most likely had undiagnosed and untreated OCD: He was obsessed with the number three, compulsively walking three times around a building before entering it. When swimming he would do 33 laps, and if he lost count would have to stop ov

While in the US, there are people furiously arguing for having ICMBs in silos that you have to launch as soon as you have a warning because if the nukes are coming for the silos the nukes will be "wasted". But this fact that the

Look, you got to read the whole thing, and don't ignore the bit that says: "The Command Post followed proper procedure and provided timely and accurate notifications to personnel in the Kaiserslautern Military Community"

No, the article recounts the base sending out a live warning to base personnel. If you've sent an alert to the soldiers on the base, you've decided the warning is genuine, so the conclusion must be that they don't inform the

What is the end goal of this argument? That everything is great now?

Actually, I don't think the "free speech" argument as deployed in defence the unmoderated promotion of fascism actually has a coherent concept of quality: the entire point of the argument is there will never be a time when

The point being made is that photoshop manipulates matrices and filters are circles made of translucent material you put on your camera; and in fact many of those photographic filters don't primarily filter light but rather distorts it

The fact that your disinterest for rural infrastructure projects in Ghana mean you don't know about them doesn't mean they don't exist. It just tells the reader you haven't bothered to search for something like "U

I think the proper statement is that it's possible, but not efficient. Learning go from a go-program seems much like learning assembly from gcc.

Isn't the point of an audit is that it tells you what problems to fix? It would be concerning if this audit happens only shortly before, or even after, the main ranking happens. But if the increased ranking is done based on data from,

Since it's not from subject matter experts, expect things like sampling bias and administrative reporting issues to be completely neglected. That is to say, the uncertainty estimate is simply based on observed variance.

Another expression for "eternally true" is often "bloody obvious" though. And even in cases where it isn't, the first source is not usually the one we go back to; it's certainly not true that we all keep readin
