Placebos do have side effects, it's called the nocebo effect.

What optimizer would remove the increment/decrement if the value was accessed in between? That seems like something that would be really easy to detect. I’ve never studied compilers though.

Surgery has very well documented known risks and doctors recommend surgery. Also surgery has outcomes that are barely better than non surgical interventions, sometimes, and they still recommend surgery.

If you can have a circle pit then the density is probably less than 9 people per square meter.

The last time I dragged my family into a taxi because of my anti Uber ideology, the driver stank to hell of body odor, asked me to input directions on his phone covered with dried snot from him sneezing with his mouth open, he drove dangero

If you walk around busy areas of Manhattan (or any sufficiently busy metro area where weed is legal (and even some where it’s not)) you will smell weed at any time of day. It’s the first thing my coworkers remarked on when they visited our

I was talking about caller id spoofing. If there was another layer to it, I was unaware.

In the US they can just spoof numbers.

Isn’t that a bit of a special case because you know your cereal and you know your bowls? What about some cooked foods like meats which can vary in density and shape when raw, and also vary even further due to inconsistency in cooking, with

If we’re going by the age of sail definition then yeah. Is recording a song freely broadcast over the air considered piracy or theft? Courts said no. Is recording video (even premium cable) on your dvr considered piracy or theft? Courts sai

Napster got people used to piracy not theft. Tape recording was already huge before Napster and it’s also considered piracy.

Except insurance also covers for costs that are not your fault or not anyone’s fault. An insurance premium could be divided into two components: one based on individual risk and the other component based on no-fault risk that applies to pre

There’s a pretty big leap between perfectly fair and having perfect knowledge of the future. You can know that a fair coin gives exactly 50% chance to flip heads or tails without knowing what the outcome of the flip is going to be.

Then it’s a boring thought experiment. It hardly deserves the name “experiment”.

They can’t predict the future, they can’t predict exactly when you’ll get in an accident. Perfect information means they know your risk level to the best possible accuracy, which would really only apply to populations. Perfect information m

What if you have perfect information and conclude that your chance of being in a terrible accident, requiring tens of millions of dollars of medical care and property repair, is 1% for every billion miles of driving, and you’re the unlucky

It’s a good thing that properly designed stereograms take this into account and don’t require you to uncross your eyes past that point.

Instead of crossing your eyes to focus in front of the image, you have to uncross them and focus on something behind the image. Put your finger about six inches in front of your face and then look at the horizon. If the horizon is in focus

Both parties like money so one party may be voted out if people are angry, but it’s unlikely to result in the charge going away. It’s also nyc primarily in charge of it and nyc constituents probably are in favor of less congestion and more

by ses1984 2y ago
Because it’s based on the assumption that congestion didn’t actually go down, see number 1 posted by op. If you want congestion to go down, keep raising the price. It will eventually go down and revenue could go up a lot.

I think something like the small angle approximation applies. There are plenty of applications where you can assume clocks are basically in the same frame of reference because relativistic effects are orders of magnitude smaller than your u

When post above you referred to monitors, they weren’t referring to computer monitors but any screen sold without a tv tuner including all kinds of units large distance viewing screens.

Your intuition is irrelevant if they’re mathematically equivalent.

How much biology do you know? The sugar in soda is already pretty simple, so what would gut flora actually do to it? What possible byproducts could there be from microbes processing fructose? If the sugars were entirely processed by the gut
