Basically, from the "derivation" in the page: 1) Two point-masses at a distance subtend a sphere with the radius equal to the distance 2) That sphere has a radius and a maximum capacity for holding information (in bits) depending

What an interesting and well-researched article. Also, the tone is hilarious, as appropriate. Bravo!

What a useless article. Consciousness is not an impossible problem. It only becomes absurd if it's tinted of mysticism and dipped into a half-digested understanding of the current scientific consensus. First, let's demystify consc

Pro-tip: if you are like me, never take note and divert all your attention to the lesson. Getting copies of notes or reading the actual book can easily replace any note taking. Being distracted from the actual explanation because I'm u

I can't know what is the resolution but neither does anyone else, which is part of the problem. They only show 2 results at 30% (p 0.01) and 25% (p 0.05) which makes me suspect they have a very low resolution. I can't prove it, bu

If the author's setup can only statistically determine effects of 30% or higher, saying "there's no significant change" means "there's no significant change of 30% or more". Nothing can be said of changes

Sure, but "forgetting" that the significance level is a 30% effect is at the least misleading. A real 25% increase or decrease would not have been statistically significant.

Warning: bad statistics abound in the article. If you can't spot them, let me explain a bit why statistics do not work that way. A _lot_ of data is necessary to call a result if the effect is relatively small. If not enough samples are

Godel's proof is just a formal logic version of Augustine proof, which has been disproven. Here's the "proof": God is perfect, all perfect things must exist, therefore God exists Which is easily refuted by observing that

Atheists are well aware of the distinction, I can assure you. A statement like "I do not believe in God because there is no God" proves absolutely nothing. I could tell you "I do not believe in pink unicorns because there are

by sklivvz1971 7y ago
I'm sorry, but that's just incorrect. Atheists are people who assert "I do not believe in God" and not, "I believe there is no God." It can not be otherwise, because the opposite makes no logical sense. Which G

Agreed, but they are not alternatives, they are both possible. Also, I was not referring to super hard questions that require practicing "cracking the coding interview" for a month before passing. I've had "popular"

A few more things: 1) Be humble. Don't expect people to take it easy on you because you got street cred (You are a ruby contributor? You still need to show them how good you are at coding Ruby). Many people with creds get offended when

A wild guess: they found an XSS and used it to steal a Dev cookie. Then used that to grant mod status to a throwaway user.

That's very interesting although I'm not sure we fit their criteria. We are certainly interested in making our badges as recognized as possible.
