Can anyone tell if this is transitive? Let's say you link to a picture or download you don't own. This ruling says you are guilty of infringement, right? Now what happens when I link to your site? Am I guilty too? And when someon

I thought the reason people hated micro-apartments was because they're used by extra rich people as second houses during the work week. I've only ever heard of them before for living in another city from where you work. Builders k

What's the point of the compact dict? Does having all the keys together outweigh the extra indirection? That would surprise me. Can someone help explain why that would be the case?

Maybe human intelligence isn't explainable, but knowledge usually is. I think there's a ton of truth in that quote, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

I don't write down my most important passwords and they're randomly generated gibberish. About a month back, for whatever reason I just couldn't remember one for a minute and it damned near gave me a heart attack. I think I o

I'm not great at web stuff. I usually just do numerical work. For people like me, there's a ton of overhead knowledge to effectively using D3.

Moderation and rules. Things like mods deleting comments, changing titles of posts to be less clickbait, and I think even changing links sometimes to more substantive coverage of the same story determine what is acceptable here. Voting is s

I don't get the accusations of censorship here. They aren't stopping people from publishing of these videos, they're just telling the creators they won't pay for them anymore (beyond hosting costs, distribution, etc).

Is changing the pricing scheme the only solution here? Maybe part of the opera's goal is to appeal to a broader range of demographics, or any other reason they aren't trying to maximize profits. It would be nice if they could make

The gist is that they let anyone in (and advertise heavily to try to let everyone in), regardless of their ability. They also charge exorbitant amounts that students can only pay because of their government loans. That might sound a littl

I think this is a fantastic step in the right direction, but what is the legal justification here? ITT is in no way alone in being evil and predatory, so I'm surprised I keep hearing about crackdowns for them but not for anyone else. I

Compared to the alleged 80 hour norm, it's 3/4 pay for 3/8 of the butt in seat time. If it's truly just 30 hours per week, that's a great deal for the workers!

That's mostly true, but the speed programmers write programs depends how bulletproof they have to be. There have been times that if you include the debugging and maintainability difficulty, proving things to my compiler would be a step

I have heard managers respond that if you can get your responsibilities done in half the time, you should be getting more responsibilities.

The p values don't necessarily imply what you think they do. The p value you end up with is a function of the modeling assumptions you make. For example, if your errors are correlated (which I'm sure they are in these swim meets s

Lanes in swimming are according to speed. If you have the fastest prelim time, you're in lane 4. Second fastest in lane 5, then continuing down to 3,6,2,7,1,8. As for the boundary stuff, at the top meets, they don't have a swimmer

This scares the crap out of me. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I hope the government regulates the hell out of self driving cars. I want really strong robustness of autonomous systems. The difference between working in 99.9% of

Doesn't everyone in every industry lose if they go into a price war? But they do it anyways. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just sincerely don't understand what makes diamonds different from other products.

Why don't the same cartel dynamics for natural diamonds apply to synthetics? If they can sell them for more, why won't they?

The problem isn't rounding, it's that you report peak instead of average.

Why is it just in 3D? 1D things making knots in 3D seems like it would have immediate analogs for m-dimensional things in n dimensions. Is that not the case? Is it not as rich an area of study or something?
