If I used a locksmith to get in to your house without your permission, it would be "breaking in" in colloquial language. Your reply is overly pedantic, when taken in the best light.
The government currently kills people as part of exercising its policing powers, which most people agree are overly aggressively used. If this lowers that rate, it's possible that the difference in beatings, shootings,…
These same people seem awfully shy when I ask to go through their photos, just to see if they have any using drugs. But that's exactly it: if you leave a gaping hole for the feds to get through I (in the sense of a…

I only find them more productive until about 300-500 LoC. It's about at that point, particularly if there's multiple files, that I find myself suddenly wishing for stronger type systems. That being said, most things I…

Some of your problem predictions are 100+ years in the future. I generally regard these as nonsense. Looking at the relative rates of technical growth and computing power, it's incredibly unlikely that we'll be able to…

I don't think your evaluation of human ability to cultivate environments realistic. The vast majority of the external effects of forests and wildernesses is the effect of a few major species. In nature, those species…
My number is high partly to account for humans being more spread out. A lot of our bottle necks occurred at times before we really spread out all over the place.

We're watching a second family of mammals adapt and speciate a bunch of new winners in this domain of man, in in our own homes! Even the human mass extinction has given life time to adapt, by way of crops, farm animals,…

Let's take an extreme: What if MIT were logging who went to the bathroom? There's clearly no fundamental difference in securing a different part of the building. Does Mr Stallman (or perhaps an employee of the building…
Given the way that many of my friends who are in to sports talk, I'm inclined to say it's statistics for the math phobic and fantasy sports is DnD for the geek phobic.

Your strategy is similar to mine, except that I only focus on the types. Which types are required to define the function, both as parameters and through any global/inherited scope/other state? Which types are directly…
The methodology you linked to might as well be called "how to lie with numbers". The methodology's way to assign numeric values to things doesn't relate to intrinsic things about the objects under study, but rather, is…

As a tutor, I've found that certain styles of explanations click more intuitively with some students than with others. Do you have a mechanism to explain this?
Thank you. That step had me really confused.
