The bottom of the pyramid should fill up with stolen bikes faster than the bikes rust out. Although I guess with 13M more births than deaths each year, there's 13M more potential outlets for stolen bikes. My guess is that most of those

I'm guessing that it's more like people are getting them stolen regularly. What I don't get is why the bottom of the pyramid (cf other branch of this thread) doesn't fill up.

That's a pyramid scheme, to which my original point applies specifically.

That would only make sense if Schwinn was stealing them.

Why are bikes still getting stolen? So many bikes are stolen that you'd think the market for stolen bikes, and parts, which can't be THAT huge, would be saturated.

Since I said "...or..." all I need to do is show a language that has any of the asserted properties, not the one you happen to have chosen. Take, for example, "forged from an ocean of experience", and tell me that C++, J

BioBike (originally BioLingua & BioLisp) has had a full CL, incrementally compiled, cloud IDE since ~2002. It was also pre-loaded with tons of bioinformatics software and data, statistical software, and a theorem prover. The concept was

"Lisp was created to make it possible to solve ... problems so complex that holding back any power from users would have rendered the result useless. The designers of Lisp went all in to provide the best tool set they could imagine for

Why would one need to mention numeric arrays? Lisp has all the usual capabilities in this area, and with a little effort is as fast as C, sometime faster. See stats comments elsewhere in this thread.

The section of the paper where this is mentioned offers a novel (at least to me) argument in support of homoiconicity, to wit, that you build DSLs directly into the base language, which (it is asserted) makes the DSL development process mor

Yes, that right. And moreover, much math isn't infix: Factorial is postfix. Sum, Product, and Integral are prefix. Infix is actually the exception, and is not semantically uniquely without parens anyway (languages have different orders

Welcome to the modern world. In the 80s we had AI Winter, now we have AI Nuclear Warfare (to be followed immediately by AI Nuclear Winter).

This is all confusion. Science is a "Bayesian Community" (to coin a phrase). It collaborates already, as needed, albeit inefficiently. One could improve the collaborative process, but to strong arm it is just ignorance of everythi

There are many new sorts of trials coming online that are closer to the model he's proposing here. (Which, BTW, is more like A/B testing than like a classical RCT.) See esp. adaptive trials, point-of-care trials, and global cumula
