And that number is relevant because it's the number of possible ordering of a standard deck of 52 cards. There are... a lot of them.

People (at least used to) pay for magazines and newspapers, which have also been partially supported by ads forever. Perhaps a more sustainable balance would be only first-party ads (ie no individualized tracking) for paying subscribers?

As the article says, a book is not the ink, but the words. I am not my physical atoms, but the connections that form my thought patterns and memories. If it were possible to make a perfect copy of those things, the copy would be "me&qu

You could use the Dow though. It varied from 2700 to 2900 in 1950, and is now about 45,000, so about a 16x increase, while inflation over the same period has been about 30x. However the index price doesn't account for dividends, so tot

I'd love to see this for Canada; expect it's even more striking.

People take actions every day that affect others, some negatively and some positively, and don't receive consent for each one. We don't need consent to put exhaust or other harmful chemicals into the air, and those are an explicit

Yes, the child is unable to give consent in that scenario, so we have an alternative, because the benefit is worth it. (We could wait until people are adults before subjecting them to any vaccinations, but that would cost a lot of lives.) I

I'm not sure I agree with you (your parent could be taken to simply mean, appreciate good-faith arguments, even if you disagree with them), but I appreciate your contextual use of satire.

Yes, plenty of people argue Trump is bad. But the phrase "orange man bad" suggests that criticisms of Trump's character are superficial, when in reality they are based on his behavior and statements.

Literally the only people I have ever seen use the phrase "orange man bad" are Trump supporters attacking Democrats. The more crass among Trump's opponents certainly made fun of his orange makeup somethings, but claiming that

I'm so happy we got started back before cloud services were common, so just grew with dedicated servers all along. A couple of times I've tried to price out what we'd pay for similar infrastructure from a cloud provider and t

There is direct support in the article. Amazon lost a $10B contract because Trump doesn't like Bezos, which is because he owns the WP, a paper that is generally critical of Trump. By killing this endorsement, he's buying some good

The thing is that no one is judging the mission based on this imperfection. It's just intellectual curiosity, which is a good thing. The comments that are getting down voted are all assuming some negative motive that just isn't pr

You've got to look at rates. I'd place a substantial bet that the percentage of professors, or even just college grads, who believe that is lower than in the general population. (Though you have to be specific about the question.

Anyone have a hypothesis why there would be a test that calls man without arguments? Is the goal just to check that man is installed? Even so, you'd think you'd test the command as it's normally used...

Jesus, that's rather awful. Guess these guys had never heard of radiation. Seems incredible, but I have no idea what the media was like in Georgia 20 years ago (or now, for that matter).

True, but you do still feel the weight. Even with good tires, they give up time around the corners and make it back with insane acceleration. That's why you generally see hybrids for the most extreme hypercars, at least over the past d
