Unfortunately, its value is inalienably attached to the dollars that it can be redeemed for. And so long as Coinbase has to take legitimate AML and KYC measures, many people who need access to the redemption market will not have it (e.g. po

It sounds like they found the roots of a quadratic to me. It's not like when I was in high school memorizing the quadratic formula that was any more useful than what you described. No one really gets to know math until they've tak

You referenced a 'flip category', which isn't a thing. So I assumed you needed a simple and easily understandable example.

The main goal of this article was to refute such research. So, if you want to show that their methodologies are superior, I think that would be great. Also they were assessing efficiency, and since the cost component of efficiency (performa

The data is pretty useful in penalizing states that don't educate their students well enough to even get to the standardized testing stage.

I suggest you read the article if you're curious how they created their list. They explain their methodology pretty thoroughly.

It's easy to understand and relate to. To even comprehend contemporary research in most scientific disciplines, you need a seriously strong understanding of math or chemistry--a level so high that it cannot be 'popular'. Beha

Most fake news isn't about spreading disinformation for the sake of corrupting a population. It's about generating clicks and finding suckers. Wikipedia isn't a great platform for that.

I got my SE for $100. What's the going rate for a new X?

by kolbe 8y ago
The only reason I'm not buying a second one right now to keep as a backup is that the SE's small screen eventually will not be worth supporting by my favorite apps. My guess is by this time next year, I'll need a new phone ju

It's difficult to think of very many people who are more intelligent than they think they are. I'm not sure why this characterization should be used for any group other than to troll them. There is significant judgement inherent i

Weird. I've seen the exact opposite. The only people I know who own the SE are men who care about owning the right thing for their life, and not a social signaling device (usually high income, high net worth, or very well-educated). Fo

Functioning markets also do not have the Federal Government backing hundreds of billions in loans every single year either (Fannie and Freddie then, and Ginnie now). It's pretty convenient to blame lenders while the government itself w
