The average new car price in March 2016 was $33,666. There are plenty of "mass-produced" cars in this price range. http://mediaroom.kbb.com/new-car-transaction-prices-up-2-per...

I doubt this was meant seriously, but it's worth noting this actually doesn't work. You need each left/right decision to be independent so that positioning yourself at a certain place in line doesn't allow you to choose

That is really, really hard to believe. I can't say that I remember any discussion of applications in my differential equations course (also at a Big Ten school), but I'm positive the professor could have provided them. I didn&#x2

By itself, yes, but >>> all([[[]]]) == True True >>> all([[]]) == True False >>> all([]) == True True is pretty counter-intuitive at first glance.

I believe the 1922 citation is relevant because it contains specific licensing information for "Happy Birthday", which the source you cite lacks. So the one you cite could have been printed without permission, and wouldn't co

Very cool. Anyone know how a sphere (the globe at the end) was printed in a single immersion? Based on what I saw in the video, it seems like it would have to be a different process involving rotating the sphere as it was dipped, rather tha

Trello + Google Calendar is a big improvement over my previous, ad-hoc system. For years, I used: - Google Calendar for timed events - Starred Messages in Gmail for things I'd need to reference - Drafts in Gmail for things that needed

Reading the Wikipedia article, this statement may be based on the fact that Ford was the last American car company to IPO (in 1956) making it the last one to count as a startup.

I agree, but change the context just a little and the same error could have convinced people the evidence was faked. The potential is there.

Off by one errors affecting geopolitics. That's a scary thought. Any other examples out there? There are things like false missile launch positives during the Cuban missile crisis...

Good changes. One more issue (I believe recently introduced): LEGB ends with " B uilt-in", not with " M odule". It's also good to note in the blog post that it's been updated.

It sounds like the male founder initiated the interaction, so the implication would be the cause of the problems was his sexism. I was not actually saying the wife's behavior was sexism.

I think the implication is that none of this would have happened, or at least would not have been tolerated, if she was male. And it sound like the basis of her relationship with the founder's wife being "crazy" was that she

I protest. "Brain" is missing from the word choices, so it's impossible to randomly generate "BrainTree". What kind of tool is this?
