I see your point. I'm not sure you're objectively wrong. But it feels wrong. :) Where there is sufficient demand for things to sell out to people who want the product, but are unable to get it because someone has used a bot to sco

You are right. I tried to caveat my analysis with "(according to study)". My prior is not that the study is completely accurate, but that it is accurate enough to make the broader points described. I may be wrong, and you're

This seems accurate to me. Like complex brains are evolutionarily fit because they can solve lots of disparate problems, hands are evolutionarily fit because they can do lots of disparate things. Of course, we do also then design violins fo

I see it differently. It's not prediction based on anything statistical but based on one's understanding. I've made it a habit to ask myself what I expect the output to be for any programming operation, and why. It forces me

In my experience prepping and taking the test, I found the LSAT logic questions to be pretty good at assessing deductive reasoning. They’re 100% divorced from law and are closer to puzzles of the nature of, “Six people sit at a table, four

A common criticism in this thread -- and elsewhere -- is the accumulation of subscription fees to authors. I can justify $10/month for my favorite writer's weekly work, but not another $90/month for my next 9 favorite writers
