I think I remember reading about this and IIRC one of the players was given more starting money than the rest, but wasn't told about it. Then when they were asked why they think they won, they would say it was because of their strategy

There's this song I like called "Austin, TX Blues" by Netherfriends and judging by the lyrics I'm guessing this is a common sentiment. I mean is anybody from here? Have you ever met anybody from here? Have you ev

No offense, but regardless of how right you might be, you come off as a bit of a condescending asshole. Like "Oh, you don't know that there's a more efficient way to do things? There can't possibly be any explanation oth

Wear noise-cancelling headphones for maximum immersion and don't take your eyes off the page to avoid losing your place. As a bonus, take your walks in high-traffic areas so that everyone can see how smart and productive you are!

Yes, the world is black and white. Definitely no grey areas in the legal system. Certainly no guilty people get off on technicalities.

I really don't understand how you could come to that conclusion. Whether something matters or not is entirely subjective or depends on context. Like, what does that even mean? My happiness matters very much to me, but doesn't matt

Selection may be a part of it, but you may be wrong in saying no information was stored. I remember hearing about this one really interesting experiment where they would expose mice to a specific scent (I think it was citrus), and then give

Really? You can't imagine any? Regardless of how unlikely it might be, there's a very real risk that shit's gonna go down in the next week and who knows what might happen. Even if nothing does happen, there's been an inc

I think that was the point. They're trying to say that if, hypothetically, you knew the probability was 1/2, and you flipped it a million times and only got heads, the probability doesn't change. The law of large numbers does

I think I see where you're coming from, in that you're allowed to have knowledge of other people, and most of the time it's perfectly innocuous. But I don't think that's a very fair comparison. There's a pretty

I've read that gait recognition is even easier to implement and more accurate than facial recognition. People will find more and more innovative ways to invade our privacy.

It was not "debunked" in any way. We know 100% they colluded with Russian agents. They just couldn't prove criminal intent. As far as Trump's obstruction of justice, correct me if I'm misremembering, but I'm pr

You forgot to mention the time-gating, which is maybe the main thing that has me on the fence about the upcoming expansion. Most of the progression mechanics force you to wait a certain amount of time before you can keep going. This is incr

What are you on dude? In what universe does synchronization not involve time? Synchronization is defined as "Occur at the same time or rate". Even if you're so pedantic that you're going to say something like "it co

Why not? By asking things like that, he gives the experts the chance to address those ideas and present a more informed and/or grounded perspective of them. Honestly I think a lot of the time this is exactly why he asks things like tha

It'll probably take a couple of weeks for your fingers to callus, after that it's fine. Just keep it up! The trick to improving is just consistent deliberate practice. Practice every day, even if it's just 15 minutes. Take no

As a member of the current generation, I can confirm that no one drools over Haskell except hardcore nerds. We drool at Go and Rust and new JS frameworks. And Python I guess, but everyone loves Python.
