Most replications of the puzzle are incredibly bad such that one is led to the independent branch with little indication that there was an intent to examine the totality of circumstance. I find the problem interesting for its historically p

I think the meme I was originally sent as a part of my story was a shitty meme involving gold and silver balls, rather than this specific article from Pricenomics which painfully explains everything. What I was trying to get at is there are

TFA is very well written, but in almost every reproduction of the Monty Hall problem you’ll find it very poorly written such that one would reasonably be led to believe the question is “if I have two doors what is the probability.” Don’t be

I actually spoke with my wife after the initial comment, she was reconnected at a later time than I! So it’s not regional but some other mechanism.

Anecdotally, I woke up to no signal / “SOS” mode on my iPhone this morning at around 0600 and had service restored around 0830 in South Carolina. However, a coworker in Memphis confirmed he was still out of service at 1000 so it’s regi

I had that from a corporate rental, but they got their ounce of blood doctoring and exaggerating the cleaning fees. - $200 in mandatory carpet cleaning fees, no you can’t use the rental at Wal-Mart you must provide a receipt from a licensed

You’ve reminded me of the HOA “Welcome to the Neighborhood” Fee, I think more typically called an “initiation fee.” Typically around 0.5% to 1.5% Apparently agents typically recommend the seller wrap it up into their side to make the deal m

Is there regulation on how the property manager gets paid? I’m getting my 10% either way, if it comes from you directly in a lump payment, great! If it comes from you over the course of 12 months in marked up rent, still great! I sit around

At that point might as well never involve the police so they have no leads on the recovery.

They tend to work in a capacity similar to a US State, e.g. Utah itself but there is a lot of variation and nuance from tribe to tribe and state to state. You will run into confusing situations where a county law enforcement official might

In fairness and in honesty, I can’t help but think of the American citizens assassinated by drone during the Obama administration. I guess a politician is worth more than an Arab-American teenager?

Depending on state, IANAL but in “the South” (Carolina)… I had a less than stellar household, was punched several times in the head by a parent so I put them in a headlock to get them to calm down. Spent several months in juvenile detention

The gentle strategy was the only way to make things work, at all. Otherwise you would have seen an insurgency worse than the Klansman. Similarly, Japan and Germany post Second World War. For contrast, look at how well our De-Ba’athification

Demonstrate it yourself in practice? I worked in such an environment and that’s how it’s done. Demonstrate it to your team, set expectations, have conversations about what matters. Encourage improved processes.

I have no damned clue how they made it work, but I had several illlegal-as-children immigrant friends manage to get into the military and earn citizenship. Perhaps there was an Obama era program?

Which is kind of weird, because it’s used as a “crime doesn’t pay, the good guys win” and on one hand, sure, Al Capone is a bad guy. On the other hand it highlights the power of the government to harass someone they don’t like, suspect of c

Has it changed form at the same time, i.e kids used to shoplift loads of merchandise from the mall which is invisible to me outside of the estimated markup for loss on the product. Now we have more brazen smash and grabs with big hauls, idi

To me, it’s not “should I use Spring” but why not? Most frameworks of the same class crudely ape the format. Then the open-source ecosystem of most languages is a ghetto compared to that of Java. I hate not using it at work but rather Node
