Make it completely optional, ok. What about the kids whose parents won't ever take them to one of these spaces/libraries? You know there will be thousands of kids growing up illiterate, not knowing any math, learning nothing but T

Best explanation I've seen was using statistics: simulate the problem 1000 times. Look at results when you switch and when you don't switch doors. Or do it in your head: If I switch doors, I will win with 2 out of 3 doors. Otherwi

But what are you saying should be done instead, a voucher system where families would decide which school to put their money into, or just abolish public funding for education altogether, and let each family fend for themselves?

Plus, since letters take quite some time to arrive at their destination, and double that for you to receive an answer, they tend to be much longer (I think that is why they tend to be; not 100% sure). I've never received an email that

So you're saying public education is immoral, and public health care is immoral. Maybe for the taxpayer it is. I doubt it seems immoral for the child of some poor parents. Or for someone seriously ill who can't afford to go to the

Well, the biggest problem for me, as a brazilian, is that the illegal drugs trade here allows the drug lords to have so much wealth to be able to corrupt so many people (police, judges, politicians) and afford so many weapons (military assa

If radio signals is the best way for us to detect alien intelligent life, and vice-versa, aren't we doomed to keep quiet then? I mean, how long until we phase strong radio signals almost completely? I mean, has there been any growth in

That's the one I was thinking about, thanks! From the Wikipedia article: "The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car.

What I meant was what if an F1 team of designers didn't have to be constrained by any rules and could build their dream F1 car. For example, there was one car a couple of decades ago (I think early 80's maybe?) that used a sort of

There are so many rules dictating the design of an F1 chassis/engine that I wonder how much faster a "anything goes" car would go.

Is this different from, say, the black movement? What if there were no longer segregated schools and bathrooms, but african-americans were prohibited to adopt children and black history were not allowed to be taught in schools? edit: I'

Among the MMA community it used to be common knowledge that MMA was safer, concussion-wise. There were no good studies to back that up, however. Now they're starting to come by, and it seems they might be just about the same. Here'

I think you mean people who bodybuild , which is a different thing. When you, like many other people, hear the word "lifter", you picture a bodybuilder, which most people who lift are not.
