Yes, this makes sense as a hypothesis, it certainly feels right, but the parent comment was referring to research establishing a relationship between tight friendship and vulnerability. How are these things defined in such research, measure

Research is pretty conclusive that to have tight friendships you need vulnerability to some degree I have to admit I don't quite understand this sentence, especially how research might define a "tight friendship" and "

there are many aspects of the beat movement, and i think many of them get muddied or hidden by the more publicized, overt statements of drug use and and sexual freedom. But, paired with a post-world war II era, its more clear why these are

Fair enough, I misspoke, I meant to say they are rarely the ones coming off the field due to concussions. The bigger, concussive hits are usually taken by the receiving corp and defensive backfield.

I was under the impression that the issue stems from sub-concussive blows which occur every snap between offensive and defensive lines as they rush toward each other. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for CTE to appear in defensive&#x2

Yes, this is a problem with the scooters too. I think there is some volume limit to the device, smaller is better for the reasons you state, which is why I think the scooter it ideal to the bike in this regard.

Their solution currently is to have people drive around at night and corral the scooters, bring to a charging warehouse and then redistribute in the morning. Quite an expensive process that they need to streamline. They are attempting to cr

First of all, this is great. The thing that bike share programs lack IMO is the tech and logistics savvy of a company like uber. In Santa Monica and the west side of LA we have an electric scooter service called Bird, which was started by a

This couldn't have come at a more convenient time for me. After years of telling myself I'd learn D3 I have finally started to as well as use it at work. I was using an extension in Jupyter but it was behaving unpredictably, and n

It's a long term play, I think. All of the tech becomes a sunk cost, and over time the removal of variable costs creates the ability to scale with costs still trending to 0, or, less upwardly.

Interesting, I have a similar sentiment. I am aware and dismayed by my abuse of online media on my phone and computer. And so I think I have an addiction to some extent, as I tend to partake in it despite not wanting to. I have taken some p

I think this is fair and is a sound refutation to my stance on how rigorous they should be. Your reply reads like a debearding-of-santa, which is maybe what I needed in this case.

Also, they did update the erroneous articles: Ah so they did, my mistake. I think the idea is that we all make mistakes. I am in total agreement, we all do make mistakes, and it's refreshing when people own up to them. I guess my m

I'm probably being too harsh but... Good on them for writing this, it's important to admit when you're wrong. However, I feel like this outlet has a larger responsibility to be actual data analysts as well as journalists (ove

That's reasonable, certainly alcohol has real effects beyond the scope of the dangers of mindless games, or, marijuana even. I didn't intend to suggest games have the same types of effects as DUIs, a shortsighted comparison on my

So, while type theory may have the benefit of resolving the "isomorphism issue" you describe, how is type theory not also another encoding of, for example, the real numbers?

Don't be surprised if in the next edition of A Random Walk Down Wall Street cryptos get appended to chapter 2, The Madness of Crowds. Events like these are embarrassingly similar to those that have occurred in past bubbles. If you have

This is my sentiment as well. I have BS in math and MS in applied math and now work as a data analyst. Problem solving and abstracting problems to general properties and attributes are the most worthwhile skills that my math education has p

I agree with you point, but assume the NFL does admit fault and revise their position to be aligned with medical findings. Does watching the sport make is any more or less moral. I do not think so. You are right, the NFL is being dishonest

by cpsempek 9y ago
I think this is a fair comment, and those that dismiss this comparison due to extreme sports be currently incomparable to NFL are missing the core issue. There are businesses profiting off of the risks others are taking for the entertainmen

This comment is great, points out why the article is bad. Python integers are not weird simply because a well-defined operator gives a result which goes against an intuition based on the semantics of English.

This is a sound analysis, I agree with you. I noted that this is a probable cause to the change in "Most Popular Course" over time in the parent comment.

by cpsempek 9y ago
Right, I agree, I am not convinced of my first point. As you point out, the first users were likely mostly technical people. This is reinforced by the fact that the first courses offered were almost all CS/ML/Math related.

by cpsempek 9y ago
Easiness of the course is could be a big factor in it's popularity. A simpler explanation :).

by cpsempek 9y ago
Yeah, this post is confusing. It reads as though I should expect `is` to be the same operator as `==`. But that's completely off. It's not that the integers are weird, it's that OP is misusing an operator. The topic could hav
