Yeah you are right, it doesn't show correlation specifically for blockbusters. I misinterpreted.

The snowmen are in Unicode because they existed in a character set before the Unicode standard was created. Unicode was deliberately created as a superset of all existing character sets at the time.

> the Academy largely votes the way the critics tell them to This is absolutely not the case. For example "Oscar campaigns" have significant influence on the Academy, and they happen after the critics have given their verdict.

Presumably an average Joe watches average movies, i.e. blockbusters which are the movies which attract the largest audience. The articles shows a relatively high correlation compared to the more niche cheaper movies. But yeah, it would be c

The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker both have the same main character. But the difference critic/audience ratings are stark. Critics rate The Last Jedi significantly higher than the audience average, while they rate Rise of Skywalker s

The people rating movies on IMDB are not average audience members though. They are movie geeks and enthusiasts. But compared to professional critics, there is a significant difference because they still pre-select moves to watch based what

Censorship is much more visible in modern social media because it happens after the publishing. Somebody publishes something, and then the platform reviews the material and decides to block it. In print media the filtering happened before

This is what happened with HTML. At first the syntax was pretty simple, but the error-correcting parsing meant that invalid syntax became widespread. In order to ensure compatibility between implementations the spec ended up having to speci

Be careful what you wish for. Parsers guessing at the authors intention is what gave us HTML.

IMHO the purpose of unit tests is to ensure the code is correct and allow you to safely refactor and introduce new functionality without breaking existing behavior. The purpose is not to pinpoint the exact line where the bug is, if a test

If we define any difference in outcome as discrimination (which I don't find useful, but I'll accept it for the sake of argument), then I think we should make a clear distinction between discriminatory factors which the individual

I don't question the particular claims in isolation, but they are obviously cherry-picked. If having more female middle-school teachers have a discriminatory effect towards males, then surly having more male university professors and a

No, this is not "generally accepted". Of course historically in traditional patriarchal cultures, women have been forced to submit, and men have had more individual freedom. That does not mean women are more more "suited&quot

Historically, more men got a higher education. So it seems those men back in the day somehow did manage to sit down and concentrate.

Maybe it is the assertion that "They [women] don't care about history or the future. They just want to look good and get complements." which have people worry about the posters mental health? This is far beyond just saying so

Logical fallacies are only fallacies when they are presented as if the conclusion follows by logical necessity from the argument, as in a mathematical proof. Often "logical fallacy" is taking to mean "bad argument", bu
