Really strong beginning just to spoil it in the second part with his own opinions about the scientific method and how to make conclusions. In my opinion this single topic is impossible to fit in a presentation. A book is more reasonable for

Benford's law is about the first digit of the number, it has nothing to do with the current problem. The pennies are the two last digits. However, IMO the assumption you quoted is indeed false but due to other reason: In real life, prices a

Please, all gays, stop bitching about equal rights. You DO have equal rights. As you don´t have the right to marry other man, I don't have that right too. The only difference is that I don't need it, nor I want it. Because it is not Natural

Why I am being down voted? I was just saying my opinion. Also this opinion comes from the fact that I have tried riding bike with my legs not on the pedals and it felt unstable and uncomfortable.

To me this seems much harder to learn and to ride. In fact pedaling helps keep the balance as spinning wheels have gyro effect.

I will be happy to hear which was this bank so that I put my money of there if I have account. I wouldn't like my money support an institution with such poor practices and with such disrespect for people's privacy.

In fact, it’s so outrageously bad that I’ve gone on strike. I refuse to do any more research on drag and drop. Go do it yourself. Or don’t bother. Whatever. I don’t care. Well, writing such an article shows he does care. Also, a good rule

What is geeky about this quiz? except the reference to fonts? I would like to see FP and FN on cheeses and fonts. Stats are quite useless right now except for showing that almost everybody knows Helvetica is a font.

On the getting things done. In the company where I did internship last year there was completely different attitude. People were urged to use "Yes, if..." instead of "No, because...". Not surprisingly this is the most successful EDA company

"11. We would never publish lists of 10. They’re a prop for lazy and unimaginative people." He just did publish such list. Also he neither explains why he believes these will improve journalism, nor how they can be done in practice.

Please add support for foreign language characters. I tried to make a design using Cyrillic characters but they didn't came out properly. There could be a market for your service among the many bilingual and emigrant people in USA.

I wouldn't be efficient wrt space to keep copy of every version of the file. Instead I suppose they keep the actions of the writer(s). Algorithmically it shouldn't be complicated. Maybe they just keep history of what happened in the environ

I don't think the scoring system is good. According to it the best behaviour would be to build all tetraminos on one side and wait for "I" tetramino to arrive and score 4. Maybe instead of that people should try to maintain lowest possible

I think to perform the learning you need to have some property of a hacker that you will learn. Maybe you need also some non-hackers to fill your survey so that you can perform classification. Directly: How do you plan to use ML on this dat

It would be interesting to see also dependencies between different sciences. This could be done by example by examining the citations in papers... Then probably we can observe something like: CS depends on Math, Medicine depends on Biology

I, who feel as a mathematician inside, find these posters very funny and amusing, and I wish there were more of them to smile at. However, creativity and math skills are not negatively correlated as this ad campaign states. Indeed, creativi

Yes, it can. All programing languages are equivalent in power, as you can write interpreter of language A in language B for, I think, any two programming languages A and B. However, some languages will achieve some things much easier. Your
