Papers come with their own tldr. It's not because people are lazy, but because that's all most people reading it actually need. This is in contrast to many op-eds, blog posts, and even news articles, which intentionally make it ha

There are students everywhere who are graded unfairly. Certainly punishing students who break the ethical rules of the school or terrorize the classroom with a failing grade is not the appropriate response, though many of such students prob

My undergraduate courses had professor evaluations. Using these evaluations unilaterally to fire professors is ridiculous, considering the varying incentives students have, the various reasons that professors end up teaching the courses the

I think if you were actually tasked with finding a plainer way to express the fact, you would have no trouble. When Albert says I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too , consider There a

Can anyone explain why the data charges are set up how they are? Why have you choose a "plan" in increments of $10 and then refund/charge you (per MB?) for going under/over your "plan"? Why not just charge you

Thanks. For me, unlimited data for $25 with Republic vs 1GB for $30 with Fi doesn't make a big difference. But being able to tether is a differentiator.

Is there a law for this yet? It seems like any time I see discussion about Rust, over half of the discussion is actually about Go.

It's annoying that the bins are like this, instead of 0, 1-250, 251-500, etc...

It did recognize it, though. The full response to that statement was something more like "You do not seem to be moving to North Carolina to me. New Hampshire is an interesting state, there are a lot of things happening there. North Car

It's true, funny and not entirely "off-putting" :)

This is part of my exchange. Everything I said, ACUMAN just said "I don't agree about x, but everyone's opinion differs" or some such. Again, great work! > ACUMAN: Tell me what US state you live in. > MILLOY: New H

Well done! In nearly all of my exchanges with ACUMAN, the bot responds in the negative. I assert something, and ACUMAN simply disagrees, which prevents any requirement for meaningful discourse. Any insights into why this is the case? Is thi

This is a really important point. Setting up a standing workstation is similar to setting up a sitting workstation: you probably need monitor risers and a keyboard tray for maximum ergonomic fit. Alternatively, when you're not on a key

You're thinking of what I call a 'sit-stand desk'. Even so, I was disappointed when the OP turned out to be about a non-adjustable desk.

I guess part of the problem is that there is disagreement about what the down vote is for. I try to think like this: I press the up and down arrows if I think something should be farther up or down on the page. Since the comment score was r

Is there a better source (in English) for the real information?

Yes, no disputing that the note was friendly and helpful for John!

I think comments like this are OT and misplaced. It adds nothing to our discussion here and assumes that the author will read all of the comments here (though I did note that in this case the author has submitted the post himself). This is

There's something charmingly robotic to me about the removal of the 12 (things) and 12 (years), which is appropriate according to the rules but ruins the title. Maybe the best way for AI to regularly pass the Turing test is for humans

Right, the key numbers that you've implied are that Scenario A pays out the same whether you use the current artist payment scheme or the one suggested in the post. It becomes clear that the scheme suggested in the post doesn't

I think we're assuming that the many users who listen to indie bands spread their listening among many different bands (each use has a difference preference) whereas users who listen to top 40 all listen to the same artists. There is a

If they can offer several different tiers of video quality, they could do the same with the audio. Imagine a set of options that not only offers audio versions optimized for great headphones or optimized for phone speakers in a public space

It seems to me like pre-OOP Python. I'm not a fan of overusing classes, and a lot can be accomplished in Python without them. But from one perspective, you're just reimplementing (a subset of) classes and preferring to type out th

I'm excited by your app. You need to do more, sooner, to emphasize that it is not a photo sharing app. The recommendations aren't the photos, but what's in them. It is for experience-sharing. It is closer to Pinterest than

It's a good question. I think my first topology course, like in many intro analysis courses, shared concepts from calculus without requiring any previous expertise from our calculus courses. A rigorous approach to real analysis or poin

I have a major in Mathematics, and I truly didn't need calculus after the multivariable/vector calculus course I had to take my Freshman fall. Why did I have to do so much if it wasn't going to be necessary until graduate s

It's pretty clear to me that the OP just used the word cliche where it didn't belong. Fortunately the idea still came across. Perhaps you were truly confused, but it sounds more like you're playing dumb to force the OP to adm
