This is absolutely a crucial skill. One of the most valuable exercises I had to do in college was during my introductory physics courses. Before solving any problem, we had to write what we expected the solution to look like, then after sol

That works in the case where there is exactly one duplicate entry. The question says there is at least one dup entry.

Non-free educational materials aren't charging money for the public knowledge, they're charging money for the effort it took to put the public knowledge in a form that is easy to learn from. This effort is very often non-trivial.

I'm curious how much the effect is causal vs correlational. That is are students that sign up for certificates more likely to finish (because maybe they feel like they've already paid and don't want to waste it) or are studen

IANAL, but from glancing around online, it looks as though you are in general held responsible for contracts and agreements made when you are intoxicated. The exceptions seem to be when the intoxication is not voluntary (i.e. if you're

I believe you are correct. Instead of using a stack, you can add one for opening, subtract one for closing and as long as your count is non-negative, it will work the same way. Its effectively the same algorithm, except instead of actually

I haven't read the Vogelstein paper yet, but from the abstract it seems that when its talking about 'luck', its talking about errors in DNA replication. The rate of these errors is pretty constant in healthy cells (about 1 pe

Linear algebra comes up all the time in advanced courses. Certainly in graphics, but also if you do any machine learning, optimization, probabilistic algorithms, any sort of scientific computation. I never took a linear algebra course, conv

I really like Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Series for this. It has a ton of recipes, but there is also a decent amount of discussion of the concepts behind recipes and multiple ways to alter most recipes, as well as tables tha

You're not far off. Not an epidemiologist, but I think these sorts of things generally follow a logistic (S-shaped or sigmoid) curve (1/1+e^-x). Initial growth is approximately exponential, then you hit a point of saturation, grow

There should probably be a way to flag things as wrongly categorized. Just in a quick glance, I came across a decent amount of wrong gender posts.

The idea is that if you do a little bit of the latter now, you will save yourself or someone else a lot of time doing the former later.

I love f.lux. I don't know if it has actually helped me fall asleep faster, but I find myself getting a lot less eye strain when working at night. I just wish I could find a similar app that actually works well for android. Any suggest

I agree. The sexist double standard in statutory rape convictions where both parties are underage is not only incredibly unjust to young males but insulting to the young women. It sends the message while teenage guys have the ability to mak

It was the error that wasn't in their favor, not the audit. It means they either already overpaid, (or themselves were underpaid).

I think there are certain workplaces which have the culture where this would work as intended but in most, it would probably end with people taking less time, and feeling bitter and resentful about it. If anything, there should be a vacatio

Well, we need to separate the two acts: 1.) Sharing an opinion and anecdotal experience on a blog 2.) Disclosing that you're participating in an illegal activity (discriminatory hiring practices) Should she be doxxed and publically sha

Jeff seems to claim that having things written down in a list is mentally taxing, and perhaps for him it is, but I find I have the exact opposite experience. When I have too many little things that I need to do, I find that writing them dow

Awesome, thanks. I've already downloaded 134 Van Gogh's to start from a different site, but it looks like these might be great resources.

That sounds like it might be a really interesting experiment. A potentially even more interesting result might be doing something like this for multiple artists and comparing results. I just need to find a corpus of decent quality photos of

I don't know if that's quite true. I think in a script in the bottom is fine, as thats where people expect it to be. If its a simple, one-click thing, then its fine. I think adding big unsubscribe buttons at the top is just noise
