I've always wondered why recipes have the ingredient list and quantity separate from the instructions. I often have to scroll up and down (even on a mostly-decent recipe site like all recipes.com) first to see what gets added next and

No, he indicates his familiarity with that specific story (unless the author was writing two stories on the same community within weeks of each other) and not just the author. He was interview for that story and judged it likely to be p

I bring it up because if you meant to point to an iron-clad use of "master" without slave connotations, then you in fact actually brought up an equally (or more?) controversial example and therefore I don't think it helps the

Don't be so fast though: the term "master bedroom" is similarly criticized (and probably with a stronger case for its removal). https://yochicago.com/is-master-bedroom-a-racist-gender-bias...

Well it's also what Scott Aaron's on says about the story, as he explains in this post, he knew the writer and knew the story he was working on.

I actually can't decipher strstr's post. Is it in favor or against wireless mice? Is the battery life good or bad? Are they using the mouse plugged in to the charging cable constantly or not? I'm legitimately baffled and not

If you donate blood to, say, the Red Cross, then you'll be told your blood type.

I think the majority opinion is more interesting than that. They argue that firing someone for being LGBT is firing them for behavior that you would not have fired them for had they been a different sex. Ergo, it inherently is firing them o

Related: do people have good recommendations of "casual" math books for more advanced topics? I.e. ones that an educated reader with a background in math can read through in one pass (unlike most textbooks) but nonetheless have re

Wouldn't that imply an R0 of 10 which is much higher than generally estimated? It should stop once it reaches her immunity and possible sooner if quarantines are successfully placed and the infection dies off. 60% sounds like about wha

And FYI, the US now allows deducting up to $300 per year of charitable donations even if you use the standard deduction. So this is the first time for many of us that charitable donations have a tax incentive.

My family plays the Harry Potter Battle for Hogwarts game, which is a cooperative deck builder. Part of the enjoyment of it is definitely that there are lot of things happening and a lot to keep track of. Technically a cooperative game like

I'd be interested in whether dogs could be trained. I know they have literally been trained to drive cars but not as far as I'm aware to such a level that you'd let them on the highway. But my impression is that they are bett

I have to say, at first blush I would not choose click over argparse. I do have to look up the docs of argparse every time I use it, but I like that it's just gives me the args and lets me structure the program flow how I want to, whic

That's clearly dependent upon how (or who) you tax. Someone with no income will not have a net negative. And a yacht tax would fund a (miniscule) UBI that benefits everyone but the rich and yacht builders. But the main point is that yo

I don't understand what your comment is saying, sorry. If total income stays the same, why is the price of the Camry increasing? The point of not depending on the employer is that you can quit a bad job, start a company, etc with much

I'm not 100% convinced on UBI but that's not the case. Employers reducing your pay by X while you receive X from UBI would be the "good outcome" because it means that you don't depend on the employer as much as befo

I can't read that paragraph as anything other than "I tried to pirate it and failed".

The author is pretty clearly reluctant to buy the book, based off the first paragraph.

AI for pharma seems to be targeted at things like drug discovery, where yes every output from the algorithm has to be carefully validated. But that's already the case for human-generated ideas. So I don't think your argument makes

Significant flaw to not talk to the supposedly asymptotic patient, but what's the current knowledge on this front? Are there other, reliable cases of asymptomatic transmission documented since then?

In a related business, AirBNB straight-up lies about its service fees. I got a refund but it was much less than expected and they informed it was their service fees, after pressing them that that didn't add up to the service fee in my

But doesn't alternating L over R then R over L make it actually a square knot? That's pretty classically an "actual" knot, albeit poorly described in this case.

If you feel that pullbacks by charts conceal the intuition, you can work with manifolds that are embedded in R^n. Differential forms are still the "right way" to do integration on these manifolds but now can be defined in terms of

Yeah, I always think of 12 as really just 0. So 12:00AM = 0:00AM is midnight (precedes 1:00AM by an hour) and 12:00PM is 0:00PM (which precedes 1:00PM).
