This isn't the title of the post. It is misleading. I first thought it was a typo, but it is an opinion piece about WW III. The actual headline is "If You Think World War III Is Unimaginable, Read This"

I'm sure you can rewrite the headline to "why software engineers like x" there are a lot of software engineers and I'm sure some like woodworking and in sure a lot don't. I find it interesting, but I find a lot of t

I'm not sure I can give you an example where a pie chart gives you more info than a take. What a pie chart does do is convert information fairly quickly. Personally I think you should use it basically for percentages only (or similar s

Probably had more to do with the fact that all the cool kids are supporting air pods or something. So now a skin tone hearing aid looks like a hearing aid. While anything else looks like a cool air pod.

And how much did those movies cost to make? I think the movies you are referring to were expecting to make 500m or more. They needed to make about 500 to break even! Disney said have some successes last year. But they aren't as impres

Moana came out almost 8 years ago! The force awakens is even older. I think you are proving the OPs point.

Frozen came out ten years ago and frozen 2 came out five years ago. I think that qualifies as a few years. Granted life has been tough on the movies since some odd event in 2020

Printf doesn't really require you to reason about the code anymore than stepping through the code does. Usually you already know where it crashes. You can randomly put a printf somewhere but the value may have changed somewhere else. I

My first thought on this is, half the time there will be more red balls in the container. IF you draw a red ball first, you are more likely to be in the half that had more red balls. Therefore you are more likely to draw a second red ball.

by chrismcb 3y ago
I'm not sure why you think it is ill posed. The question is, you randomly pick a ball, IF it is red then... So yeah, it is basically the same as "someone else removes a red ball" now randomly select a ball. OR Pick a ball, is

What does the previous ball have to do with it? We KNOW the previous ball is red. Then it asks "more likely to be red" It seems pretty obvious that it is saying draw the next ball, which is more likely? Red, green, equal. Why woul

by chrismcb 3y ago
How is "more likely"I'll defined? They are two options red or green. Are you more likely to draw red or are you more likely to draw green.. how is it poorly worded?

But isn't that exactly how it is worded? Just showing it a bit?

How about "to protect sanity" I'm not exactly sure I want a strictly chronological feed. But I want something better than what they have now. Sometimes I see the same post for weeks on end. If the post has a lot of engagement

If the dollar bill itself is the reward, it is a worthless reward. I may as well give you a piece of paper that says "reward" on it. The dollar is a reward because it can be exchanged for something.

Was that hungry really accurate? I bought my last car in 2019 and it was 35k, cheaper than a luxury car but more expensive than the average car. I won't what the median price was? And is that price what people were spending, or the ave

Seems to me like you proved the haters correct. That is a significant cost on time and money, to recharge. To me this is the biggest downside to an EV. Not too mention, of I rub it off juice, the car pretty much has to be towed. Will this p

You've always been able to file your taxes freely. My biggest problem is the IRS already knows what I owe, with the exception of a few small things. So why do I have to go through the process of telling them what I think I owe.

Piracy isn't what the OP is talking about (at least I don't think they are) what they mean is a bigger business will come and steal the small/medium content. Since they are bigger they can do a better job of selling the conte

This seems like an odd comment. Yes there is law that protects trade secrets. But you still need to keep the secret a secret. If the secret gets out, it is no longer a trade secret.
