I had a similar reaction—"first world problems". Bloomberg and Forbes are largely not very informative "platforms".

Yeah I also think the article is a waste of time. Who wrote the petition? Apparently it's not a haunted house anyway but a "mobile experience". After reading the article I don't think I've really learnt any facts ap

That's interesting; is the use case professional photographers selling high quality prints?

Could you link to which of the pages in OP's book (webpage) this is? I tried in vain to go to the likely one and still couldn't find where the variance gets introduced!

I've often told people in the passing that "if you have 20 parameters and p=0.05 you should expect with random data to have something register as significant". Looks like OP has beaten me to it to illustrate this. [1] [1] ht

Are they F1 sterile? If not, then I would encourage developing countries to just igonore the IP rights and/or in the case that they are sterile to develop a generic.

How is it different? Edit: Sorry, I assume you refer to the OP in which case yes, I agree that it's not a solution at all. Rather, it is a presumably faster-than-before simulation.

Whereas the are such contemptuous people it is just as bad to have the converse. In my experience the median number theorist is like today's physicists in that they are resisting consolidation in favour of elaborateness. Traditionally

I wonder if they should just skip comparing it with a normal roof or normal roof + solar. A Model 3 is way more expensive than the average ICE sedan; people buy it anyway.

This is assuming you live in an adverse climate. If the climate is good outside then the costs involved don't justify it. Nethouses (vs. Greenhouses vs. Glasshouses) are common in areas with a good climate (such as Almeria in Spain) bu

I find it amazing how people think that "farming box machines" (which in my book includes hydroponics) are somehow better than just ploughing a furrow, watering it, planting and then proceeding to water and fertilise as needed. Hy

Also a mathematician; also think this is not a real silver bullet. However, I think for those who don't prove the result, the visual intuition of opening 999 998 doors is sensible. The problem to me is more that when you go back down f

To paraphrase my supervisor "Mathematicians don't read, we write." Not to be taken literally, of course. But there is some truth in that. If you are an engineer it makes sense to skim all kinds of math books. If you are a mat

Yup, only trouble is the app says "stage 3 loadshedding" and then your power is on. The next day the app says "no loadshedding" and hey look, the power is off. This varies a bit, in rural areas it can be much worse, but

This would have been useful in South Africa if that key assumption "thankfully the cut-off are almost always on schedule" had held. EDIT: We still have apps though. It's just a mystery sometimes when your power is on and the

The one thing that that picture of HPPD does not adequately explain is time. In my opinion you should think of the (distorted) square as a superposition of the total time spent, not a snapshot. Another thing to mention for (some?) people wi

In terms of being profitable or not a quarter, can't you use accounting techniques to twist this? I know that you can play off assets that still need to be paid as income. Or is the meaning always precise? For example, the first two do

This is pretty funny. I had something vaguely similar happen to me, although not nearly as major. In my matric year (grade 12) I took three first languages (although I already had two first languages by grade 10). The department of educatio
