The idea that parking exists primarily to increase the revenue of business owners seems pretty bleak.

Forgive my ignorance, but are you saying you use A[(i-1)×m+j] to get the element in the i-th row and j-th column? Why not use A[i, j]?

> Have different standards for awarding doctorates based on race? This is not at all what the article is saying. The article argues the low percentage is partially due to a "leaky pipeline" where black students don't have

One difference is that Blind requires you to verify your account through your work email address. So users of Blind's Facebook section are presumably Facebook employees, while (most) 4chan users are not.

Better yet, stop checking for "real" names. If I use something as a name of Facebook, it's because that's what I want to go by. What does it matter what's on my birth certificate?

When you say "This isn't going to do much but ..." in response to an article about a specific policy proposal, and don't say what you mean by "this", the common-sense interpretation is that you're referrin

f you have one set with 5 elements and another with 10, the set difference cannot have 13 elements. ------- In anticipation of some possible technical replies, let me be more explicit: It isn't a set difference, no matter how you view

The fact that I don't use "on" is just syntax, it doesn't change the query. The following query is equivalent. select tbl_1.A from tbl_1 left join tbl_2 on tbl_1.A = tbl_2.A I don't think t

The author is arguing for a mental model in which all joins are just cross joins with a filter added, and that Venn Diagrams are a bad representation because they depict set differences, which is not what SQL joins are. Say tbl_1 has 5 row

Because news papers and magazines review all their content by hand (and usually make that content themselves). The comparison you're making is like seeing a weekly neighborhood get together where everyone joins in except the black fami

If you prefer not to have solutions, pretend you don't have solutions. Having solutions is strictly better (for the reader. I'm ignoring the cost of producing them to begin with)

Asking that question and then implying in the comments that the wording doesn't lead people to a specific conclusion is exactly the type of "bad faith" action this post purports to be against. Well, either that or the author

So it sounds like your complaint is not that they are being misleading, but that they made factually incorrect statements. Do you have any reason to believe that statement is incorrect other than "I find it highly unlikely"?

I'm not sure why you think there must be some sinister motive here. The comment chain was P1: Does this violate some California law by deciding who can attend based on sex? P2: The third member of your team may be any gender P3: It&#x2

What they said was that "This is clear discrimination against men", which is true. The program discriminates against men. You might think that's a good thing, but if you do you should argue that. Responding to a statement of

This implies it's rational to fear for your freedom as a law-abiding person on the basis that a true criminal was convicted. That makes no sense. By that logic we should be against letting police arrest these robbers anyway, because if

For all of the protests against police shootings / killings I know of, the protests were due to the fact that the criminal was unarmed and didn't actually pose a threat. Is there really a large political movement against shooting

by ryanmonroe 8y ago
If someone decides not to be a police officer because they aren't allowed to shoot unarmed civilians in the back while they're being held face down on the ground, BART is safer without them.

I don't believe there is this large "criminal apologist" political force as you say there is. On the example you gave of a decision to hold back police force at an Antifa counterprotest, the police chief gave this explanation

I don't see it. Crime is up on the subway, so you think this is part of a politically motivated strategy to "[hold] back the police force from doing their jobs"? The article says they have a lot of vacancies. Maybe they can&#

How is this story related to these political movements you're describing? The events in the article seem like the usual robberies, unrelated to any political cause.

> You think other nations actually buy into peaceful globalism? I hope you didn't use the word "other" to imply the US has a policy of "peaceful globalism". That would be wrong.

I really don't like the fact that any argument or concern perceived to be outside a commonly-held value system is usually shut-down by some meta-argument about the strategy being wrong, without even a chance of being evaluated on its m

It would help if you said explicitly what language you think is better in this respect. Having Data Frames in Python at all requires importing Pandas afaik, so criticizing R for requiring an extra data-manipulation package wouldn't mak
