Importantly: there was no "right answer" in mind when it created the question. The letters were random, as was the word. It calculates the distance in vector space from your word to the given word. I think it helps if you understa

I really don't know what to make of the filter bubble discussion. I get the feeling that the problem began well before social media. The political divide in the USA is what fuels those bubbles, and that started well before Facebook and

As others pointed out, the statement "many women grow extra sets in their uteruses" is misleading at best. The kind interpretation is that you are thinking of Teratoma (mentioned above). The less kind is that you are thinking of t

Am I to assume that you haven't left your house since "the old days"? Why in the world would that be impossible. Even more obviously: how exactly do you think people find each other when they arrive at a location? Are you a

I'm not quite sold on that either. The professor obviously cherry picks the quotes that would show him in the best light. And students know what answer the professor wants to hear, and he is giving them bonus points on their grade fo

So... you include a discussion of getting "better offers" to indicate that your services are in high demand, as a signal that your teaching style must be good. You can leave that part out next time if you want to be taken seriousl

And it abolishes the professor of responsibility as well. Not to say the author is entirely full of it, but broad generalizations blaming the existence of cellphones for the problems of our entire culture is way too reductionist.

I'm getting the feeling people in this thread have actually forgotten what video content was like before the internet. 21-23 minute shows is the standard run time for a half hour block.

>can it possibly be any good for us ?!?! Oh sorry, let's get back to the "correct" behavior of sitting still watching a screen with no interaction. The author seems aware that this opinion is elitist. But the idea that put

That's a bit of a broad generalization. As with all history it doesn't hold up under scrutiny. In the 1200s, the empire split into 3 warring countries. The one that took Constantinople was considered the continuation of the Byzant

Don't respond to a question with a vague quote, if you want to talk about putting away childish things. If anything, it implies you don't actually know the answer either.

More likely it will be proving p!=np. Which, yes, would not really teach anything except we would finally know how to prove it, which could be useful for something else.

You missed the key part of the experiment: They basically completely changed the experimental setup between the two runs: The confederate changed how they were dressed, the item was on the floor instead of on the table, and, most importantl

Right. If you stole a car (often valued at less than $40k), you could have gotten 1-9 years in the USA (depending on the value of the car).

Exactly this. Amazing, a picture of a white-mans arm holding a box of orange juice. But what if the person is a woman, or dark skinned, or has prosthetics, or is a child, or it's a bag/bottle instead of a box, or the lighting is d

Not so. I don't present it as evidence, but I present it as a startling lack of evidence. Take the other news story in the news today, about someone at Google who made a notification about something to do with labor organizing I guess.

Kinda weird they didn't mention which "Las Vegas casino" it was. I didn't read the case, so for all we know it might have been decided the same way without the Google petition. Still, rather a surprising decision...

This is roughly like starting with 50 extra points. A good lead, but you can still mess it up. Plus, the 11kyus might be underestimating their rank. You can get better pretty quick, and might not realize it.
