   The grandparent tested the idea, that showing a coupon which is already filled and active, will carry an illusion of a bargain and hence the customer will be more likely to convert.

   This could mean a multitude of things. I wish the article had reference to some source. I seriously doubt that FBI can choose to record from any brand new Android phone - the entire OS being open source and routinely disassembled by the fol

   Starting at 40-50, each decade you loose 2-3% of your neurons. At 90, by that calculation - unless things accelerate further - you'd loose 12% of your neurons. I hope I remain still as sharp when I reach my 90s.

   Special relativity. If you measure time in seconds, and speed in units of C, then vx^2+vy^2+vz^2+vt^2 is always a constant (in flat spacetime). So you have no choice over the matter. If you are stationary, time passes at a rate of 1 second

   Javascript appears to be a language that everyone knows or has used at some point of time. It is ubiquitous because of the web. As opposed to Lua, Scheme, Scala, Python, etc., this will expose it to all programmers. It is one of the best la

    I work for a big firm doing data science - or risk, fraud, response etc. prediction specifically. It's easy money. The problem that you can run into is this. The systems are archaic. By that I mean both the implementation platform, and

    I deduced this myself when I wrote an AI for Ludo, so that it chooses one of the possible moves - equally likely - as the moves are getting generated :) Some other similar logic - Selecting n distinct items out of N, all C(N,n) selections b

    How is it better than sleeping late at night? The atmosphere is serene, you don't get disturbed, and the sky doesn't turn lighter... which to me is an indication that chaos is going to begin now.

    This is sweet. Also because I love what they are doing on javascript development. For example, 1. Destructuring references is not yet supported on Chrome [a,b,c]=[c,d,f] [a,b]=[b,a+b] 2. Shorthand functions are sweet [1,2,3,4].

    I have not used Scala before. What's the motivation for this? I can think of two reasons - a) to make native Scala programmers feel home with Javascript and b) Scala is a superior language than Javascript, will therefor make many thing

    With four cones, she may well be able to perceive electromagnetic waves outside the range we can. In other words, it may not be only about seeing finer colors, it may be about seeing more colors as well.

    How do you map Monty Hall to Russian Roulette? I choose a slot, you choose an _empty_ slot - should I spin or not? Or I choose a slot, you choose the bullet... no that doesn't make sense either.

    All I can say is don't fake it. If you want to do a body language, feel it from within - instead of simply rearranging your arms and legs.
