I think you've assumed that they've just substituted some jargon with some other jargon, but that's not really what happened here. Rather, "critical" is left undefined, even though it's an ambiguous word; evanb

Certainly there's a lower bound at which a business owner won't be able to staff their restaurant, but that lower bound isn't one penny less than the status quo. Rather, there's some shitty middle region, where employees

Unfortunately I doubt this would be a steady state solution. If restaurants were to implement this suggestion, they'd probably undercut each other's prices by significantly lowering the wage of their staff.

Ha! I guess I should've predicted a "couple days" instead of a "couple years". Still, I hope people now realize that "failure" to indict immediately is not the same as failure to indict.

If you haven't yet, you should read raattgift's comment. It's great, and it goes in to more details than I can bother with. But I will briefly point out the flaws with your thought experiment: 1. Point-like particles don&#x27

On the contrary, if dark matter were to interact purely gravitationally, then there would be little friction to slow it down. This would prevent dark matter from clumping, which is in agreement with observations.

Thanks for the correction!

Not a lawyer, but I'll piggyback to say that the inevitable indictment will likely require proving criminal intent, specifically that SBF knowingly and willingly engaged in fraud. The Justice Department won't indict SFB until they

On the contrary, I'm pointing out that "simpler" is meaningless in this context. The two companies face fundamentally different challenges and require completely separate skill sets. Some people will be better suited for Twit

I think it's somewhat reductionist to call Twitter "simpler". The technical challenges faced by SpaceX, for example, are almost completely orthogonal to those faced by Twitter. Imagine swapping a random engineer at SpaceX wit

The only UI difference I find truly maddening is the inability to open a terminal in the current folder. On other operating systems, I can right click in the empty space to open a terminal in that directory; on macOS, I must instead right c

To give an explicit example that breaks the column-vector mold: the set of 2x2 matrices with real entries forms a vector space, where each vector is a 2x2 matrix.

Probability theory can be interpreted as an extension to logic where variables can take fractional values (rather than just be 0/false or 1/true). E.g., ((A or B) and C) = (A and C) or (B and C) => P[(A or B) and C] =

You realize that type 1 diabetes only manifests after birth, right? My wife was in her 20s when she was diagnosed; in-utero screening would've been useless.

As someone who has been searching for something exactly like this, thank you so much!

Sorry, but this is incorrect. An angle is defined through the ratio of two objects with common units; it is dimensionless for the same reason that 5m / 5m is dimensionless. You could argue that radians should only refer specifically to

by panda-giddiness 4y ago
As already mentioned by others, radians are not arbitrary units for angles; in fact, they are the "natural" "units", so to speak. By definition, an angle is just the ratio of a circular arc ( s ) to its radius ( r ), θ

Unless you are a physicist or mathematician, I doubt any format will make this work "accessible".
