[edit: probably wrong, see below] Great question. If married/college were the only relevant factors, it would not matter. However, there are cultural differences beyond just those. Black women in the US do go to college at approximatel

It's not race that matters here, but race in the US can be a strong proxy measure for extremely different cultural behaviors, particularly around childbearing.

When the iPhone came out, it felt like someone had handed you a little bit of Star Trek. It was nothing like using any other phone at the time - the entire way the device was designed and the way you interacted with it was a new paradigm.

As the grandparent poster just said, it’s the spread that means this might work. Say a current bank gives you 0.1% interest on your deposit and loans that money out at 4.5%. A new bank could pay 2% interest to the depositor and loan the mon

I agree that the post you were replying to makes no sense as a reply to your previous comment. I'm guessing that that author meant to reply to the poster saying that sonic booms were mythical, and did not mean to reply to your post. Yo

Funnily enough, I heard both that and the road sign one from the same person in the early nineties.

My all time favorite is conspiracy theory is that the positions and angles of street inspection stickers on the backs of road signs are secretly driving directions to concentration camps for foreign UN soldiers to take people to. I've

Google lets you pick an arbitrary amount of RAM and number of vCPU's when creating an instance. You can easily dial up 32GB of RAM. (Or 37.25 gb of RAM if you feel like it that day.) https://cloud.google.com/compute&#x2

A group working on building an Analytical Engine, discovered that Lovelace’s Bernoulli program almost certainly would not be able to run on the Analytical Engine in Babbage’s notebooks. The “instruction set” was missing some required featur

For all of NASA’s faults, realistic practicing emergencies in a simulator is something they get right. The crew have already started this process with the Dragon, and will have been pressing these buttons while dressed for space and in the

There's a little bit of extra context there. A Swedish led committee prevented Paavo Nurmi from entering the 1932 olympics, on what people, then and now, regard as trumped up charges. (Nurmi had won nine gold medals in the previous thr

The Magic Leap doesn't just dangle one image in front of your eyes, like Microsoft's Hololens. Rather, the Magic Leap projects physically projects several visual layers at different focus distances. If you are looking at something

I think you are correct that an image derived from a program with no human input is not copyrightable in the US. Relevant sections from the copyright.gov compendium, 3rd edition -------------- # 306 The Human Authorship Requirement The U.S.

Wouldn't that result in a path quite weighted to the shortest real world actual distance?

The original asker asked, "Will iTerm2 support ligatures at some point in the future?", so it was indeed a helpful answer to know that it does support ligatures.

TLDR: 1) When the ALCU tested mugshot photos VS congress member photos, the ALCU set it to use an 80% confidence level threshold, which should result in a 5% false positive rate. There are 535 members of congress, which from this setting sh

This is a great question! So Ron Edwards, who came up with the GNS system, realized that the there were lots of games about winning, and lots of games about simulations, but very few games about drama/stories. He published his ideas wi
