That could be an excellent second, more involved, question. The first, super simple 2-minute sanity check question is to reverse a string. It's literally just a reverse for loop.

It's higher than it was 5 years back. The article states it's the all time record for Minecraft.

It's not an assumption, it's a hypothetical. If a couple did this, I'd consider it unfair. I imagine that sort of arrangement was a lot more common in the 50's than today.

It seems like if you were in group 1, you'd be offering women salaries above their normal discriminatory market rate, which should lead to more female applicants and more female hires.

You seem to be ignoring the linked study, which found that female bus and train operators earned less because they took more time off and worked less overtime. Pay gaps due to reasons like these don't create arbitrage opportunities. Yo

If you're talking about singles, then no, not really. You do domestic work for yourself. Men still have to do cleaning and maintenance at home, or pay someone else to do it, or live with the fallout. If you're talking about couple

This doesn't really explain human extinction. Our food supply doesn't come from a natural ecosystem. - Commercial bee populations aren't declining. (There has been an increase in Colony Collapse Disorder, but lost colonies ar

You forgot an important detail from your physics classes: the electric field inside a Faraday cage is only zero when it's exposed to static electric fields. Changing electric fields, like radio waves, can pass through, although they&#x

You're thinking of non-cryptographic hashes. A cryptographic hash that could generate collisions in any practical situation would be considered broken. You'd need more files than there are atoms in the galaxy to have even a 1 in a

In practice, with any real, widely used compression algorithm, encrypted output will never be compressed. You can generate 100,000 random binary files and run them through all the major compression tools and not one of them will compress by

I really like the goal of this project. I don't have many ideas that would help get it circulating. Maybe look for smaller communities that source a lot of supplies locally and launch pilot programs there. You could get the whole commu

I have a question about bootstrapping. You want GD to be circulating. It seems to me, initially, most merchants will hold on to their GD until they convert to USD. This will cause you to burn through your reserves. How do you incentivize me
