Nobody is being prideful, your logic is shoddy. Your hypothesis and the null hypothesis both lead to the same observation. To disprove the null you have to actually observe non-Chinese not cheating. Given that half the comments here are peo

A paywalled article like this shouldn't be on the front page. What are we supposed to do with just an abstract? The actual contents could just be the word "chicken" repeated over and over again for all we know.

Why was "report says" just removed? It's in the headline of TFA and it was in the HN headline a minute ago. I'd consider it a salient piece of information given that the report isn't authored by the UN but by some c

The metric system is decidedly biased in favor of languages that use 10^3 prefixes as opposed to 10^4 prefixes or 10^5 prefixes.

The main problem is that language X has an implicit definition of Foo, which is similar but not identical to language Y's definition of Bar. This might work when the languages share common ancestry like German and English, where Foo an

What a horribly myopic way to organize information. They seem to have unthinkingly copied from vernacular English various loosely defined concepts like "city". What do they mean by San Francisco? The City and County of San Francis

Yeah??? I remember so much of the media targeted towards me when I was that age involved being racist "as a joke". Most people grow out of it with age. I mean look at these 1920s racial stereotypes being pushed in a game made a co

I wish people were more creative with naming things. The other day I searched the letter S and the first thing that came up was some Swedish singer. Or at least have search engines understand guillemets.

Has anyone ever actually seen a Coca-Cola ad on Facebook? I can't remember ever getting any advertisements that weren't for obscure scientific equipment or scammy mobile apps.

This comment might be too meta/off topic but.. This thread is hilarious. You have people spamming the same link over and over again and not be greyed out, but if you look into their comment history you'll find dead comments with s

It's interesting because I saw a lot of ads for Quibi on Youtube and immediately assumed it was shovelware because that's pretty much the only thing that gets advertised on Youtube. I'm surprised that it was actually somethin

You said: "China(and potentially other places)". You explicitly put it in a seperate category when the source you linked didn't. Notice the weasel word "plenty", you're still trying to imply there's someth

ctrl-f for "china" on your source doesn't even turn up any results. You're spreading FUD.

The amount of infrastructure and equipment needed to create a watch from raw materials is an order of magnitude less than any piece of modern electronics. A single chip fab probably needs as much physical capital as an entire 1850s Swiss to

A foot divided by 10 is 1200thou. The nice thing about Imperial is that you can mix bases. And no, dividing by a multiple of 3 is not a "contrived example", it's literally the second prime. A multiple of 3 is by definition mo

I want to build a shed, I approximate human height as 7 feet because it's a nice even number. I want some number of beams equally spaced nailed onto the posts, I choose 4 posts because 3 and 4 are numbers people default to. 4 beams me

Most of the "knowledge driven economy" is bullshit imo. They're busywork that allows societies that already have a lot of wealth to distribute it to their middle and upper class. People like HFTs don't create nearly the

Every time I see articles like this I can only assume the writer either majored in CS or in a humanities major that doesn't involve any physical work. If you study any sort of science or engineering you will find that even the simplest

Not everyone calculates all the dimensions of what they're building in advance. Sure it's only convenient when you have integer feet divided by multiples of 2,3 or 4, but those are the first three primes so they're going to b

My grandfather never had a formal education and I've seen old articles of his with citations in three different languages. That was in the early 1900s. In the early 2000s the majority of my high school classmates were trilingual and mo
