My python is really rusty, but if you convert this sudocode to python, you will see that the answer is 50/50. I'll write this up in Javascript when I have time. If you do this in Python, please post. girl = 0 boy = 0

The probability that you will roll 1 1 is indeed less then rolling 1 2 or 2 1, but that's only because you are allowing for twice as many acceptable outcomes. The Wiki article you reference in your own code explains it well. The proble

Nope, sorry, it's wrong. Here are the possibilities for someone with 2 children were at least one of them is a boy borne on tuesday: 01) 1BT 2BM 02) 1BT 2BT 03) 1BT 2BW 04) 1BT 2BR 05) 1BT 2BF 06) 1BT 2BS 07) 1BT 2BY

This answer is incorrect. There is a 1/4 chance that both children are boys, and each child has 1/2 chance of being borne a boy, regardless of what day his sibling was or will be borne on. The program arrives at the probability of

If all they do is play sports, then you couldn't really call it a scholarship, could you. The athletes would play sports and in exchange they would get.... to play sports. And the college gets all kinds of money and publicity in exchan

Just turned it on on my 15" 2012 rMBP and it finished encrypting the drive. Before I was getting around 520-540MB/s read/write. Now it's 440-460MB/s. It's not a large hit, slightly noticeable, but worth the sec

How does encrypted SSD perform, compared to unencrypted? My SSD does reads/writes in the 500MB/s range. Does encryption significantly slow down performance?

If you look at it, I am sure you would notice that all of the maps, except for the example one by the artist himself, were drawn with continuous pen strokes. I bet that none of the test participants took more than 30 seconds to draw the map

Plus, the guy looks down right creepy in the happy picture and he is showing off his muscles in the pride picture. Their shame poses are idiotic. They would have gotten much better results by cropping faces only.

I am tired of this perception around the world that americans do not know geography. I really wish someone would do this test in Europe or Asia, and compare the results. Are Americans terrible at geography, sure. But so is the rest of the w

I disagree. ASICs is far more efficient, for sure, but at best, it's slightly more profitable than the used electricity, because with every new mining technology introduction the difficulty is readjusted to compensate. So, even with cu

Though unrelated, today I was watching a 2006 episode of Boston Legal where one of the characters makes an impassioned argument about how Americans have next to no privacy nowadays (2006) and how the NSA is already reading all of our emails

The way the question was asked by Sanders, the answer would be necessarily YES. Of course, the NSA can not answer YES, because [insert mention of 9/11 and national security argument here, wave a flag, if possible, while doing so], so t

Hi Jeff. I thought I should weigh in on this one, as you originally corrected my spelling. I am not offended, on a whole, but having notice your little back and forth with Michael, I decided to look through your comments. You have a tendenc

Does anyone know of a good tree structure notepad for OSX? Something like MyNoteKeeper [1] on windows. The key features I have been looking for are a tree structure where each node can have text and files associated with it, and can have ch

Try nvAlt. It saves all notes to .txt or .rtf, supports markdown (limited), and is super fast. I just switched to it my self and love it. I only wish I could attach files to notes. OSX only but there is a cross platform clone, the name esca

That's not true in CA. Prosecutors have to consult with victims in felony cases before accepting a plea agreement.

If they are not billing you, stop paying them! Go talk to a federal debt settlement attorney, this will make a grate class action, and you can get paid good money for being a class rap. I am not an expert in this area, but I am pretty sure

If your company asks you to sign a non-disparagement contract, ask them for a reference letter in return. Chose a project or 2 you did a good job on and ask them to write you a good or at least ok reference.

by x0054 13y ago
The mutual non-disparagement contract is not all that mutual. As an employee you are prevented from talking bad about the company, so you will say nothing about them. However, if you are looking for a new job, your new employer may call you

Perhaps a solution to this is a very public campaign to opt out of these filters. This would achieve 2 goals: 1. Good plausible deniability excuse. If asked why one has opted out, or would like to opt out of the filter, one could always ans

The market has spoken I am afraid, and people like you and me are out of luck. I personally like the form factor of Moto X, minus the infuriatingly off center screen (in landscape orientation).
