The author does an absolutely great job of describing the actual subject which is the devision and different perspective. This is not an article about the difference and if he went into any sort of detail it would only deraile from the actu

So many people Seem to be extrapolating this into something it just isn’t. He could stop tomorrow and live a normal life in a couple of months. This isn’t the trueman show or someone propelled into international fame against their will. It’

Just because the essays are auto graded doesn’t mean no human will ever see them. It takes far far longer to grade an essay than it does to skim 3 sentences randomly and confirm that it’s bullshit and get the student expelled for attempting

Math homework can be auto graded as well. I wouldn’t shred a tear that no one reads whether I got the arithmetic questions right or wrong. The point of all the works is to improve your abilities. Your first short story written at the age of

Well Ofcause casinos have a right to be profitable. Just like tech startups, as soon as the government is reaping in money through that company they want to keep it alive. Even if it is no net benefit to society or even profitable at all on

What the hell is going on in this thread? Yea, the odd repeated trades are just someone who likes that specific number.... and the reason they don’t move the market might just be that no one else likes that number.... and maybe all of the s

You can’t base your argument for why we seem suited to use base ten on the fact that connected civilizations that where all raised with the teachings of base ten. Humans will always look like we are naturally suited to do the things we do.

The same as decimal metric measures. The reason metric measures play great together is because of what you are counting (units), not the way you write the count down on paper (the numbers representing decimal or decimal or even just lines s

If you want to build a new counting system, Why not use new symbols for all the numbers? I mean the practicality that 1-9 mean the samme when on their own seem completely eclipsed by the fact that any number represented by more than one sym

It’s all about developer tie-in. It’s far too easy to move your stuff between azure and aws. Microsoft needs to create differentiation and barriers to migration and since github is heavily used by developers who use both azure and aws, it i

It’s understandable that a lot of people are mad at microsoft. It used to be the big bad wolf vs open source. Where the open source side would go on and on about how much more value it provided and how in then end Microsoft would fail horri

If their taxminimization strategy puts them into a region where they run the risk of having to pay huge costs in fines for their tax schemes then no. Just like they don’t have a fiduciary duty to maximize income every single day, which woul

So a bank robber should not be compared with other property theft if he declares that he would have burned down the entire bank if he hadn’t been able to steel the money? Theft is theft, even if you have other relationships with the thief t

Reading this comment thread is hilarious to a degree. I think that it really highlights how much noise gets thrown into a discussion when your naming becomes too relatable. Essentially bike shedding of theory discussion. If the Efficient Ma

Honest question, what would prompt you and so many others to assume that the laws of thermodynamics are only applicable to isolated systems? Do you honestly believe that we don’t have a model that is useful for realistic systems? Like therm

I think the most important point to take from these super jobs is that if they don’t value the individual responsibilities enough to hire a dedicated employee to handle them, then they won’t value you, even if you manage to do the job of tw

The scrum manifesto is not overly verbose. It explains the value and concepts in a manor that does not lend itself to misrepresentation. There is definatly a lot of companies peddling hype around scrum but it has a very lean and strong core

People, the author included seem to think it’s wrong in some way that the author is not just assumed to be an absolute authority on his work, though I think it’s quite appropriate and that this example illustrates exactly why you would want

Interestingly there is part of this principle intergrained in the tupilak culture surrounding homeless in the city of Copenhagen. most people do not donate money to homeless beggars because they would like these people to have a better life
