If you want to define the debate in that way then sure, memory plus considered analytical skills is better than memory without analytical skills, but I don't think anyone was questioning that. People are more likely to…
And you still need to have memorised things like what America is or who Hitler was. Maybe you knew those things already before you started the class, which is nice, but no doubt there's a lot of other facts out there…
One maths class we were only warned that we had to use Euclidean paper. I did great in exams with cheat sheets, but poorly in the few truly "open book" exams, because I didn't know how to properly prepare for an open…
Why should they?
>I stated that if one has less money than someone else, they are much more likely to have to deal with things like being assaulted or killed or going without enough to eat etc. So just to clarify, there's a lot of…
I bet if I had a treadmill in my shower I'd have twice as many good ideas.
It's sad that so much of the internet consists of people trying to tell others what to do with their own time and money. Go be generous with your own money, dude, and quit trying to be generous with other people's.
This gives me another idea: how about we fit criminals with body cameras?
Don't be mad that some other people's brains are bent on stuff of no particular benefit to you. Their brains, their choice. Just be glad that some people's brains are bent on stuff of benefit to you, and concentrate, if…
"Sexiest job in tech" is a bit like "tallest midget".
In the form of time travel being talked about, the answers are: a) Yes, you disappear from the time you were in. b) Yes, you're in two places at once for the duration between your arrival and your departure c) Forwards…
Before people get too worked up about this they should consider it from the other point of view. If you're going to get strict about getting paid for every hour you work, you'd better believe I, as your employer, am…
Yeah, I know how they feel. I worked in the US for several years and something like a tenth of my salary was stolen by something called "Social Security". Do I ever see any of that money again? Nope! Only if I work in…
100 calories of nuts or broccoli costs a whole lot more than 100 calories of bread or rice, and this is reflective of the greater agricultural demands of pretty much everything else versus bread and rice.
Sure, it's possible, but good luck getting funding. Doing research for profit is very tricky, which is why it almost inevitably winds up being done at a loss. The world is full of entities (such as universities and…
Or how about remote Aboriginal communities in Australia? If you want to see what giving people just enough money to live on looks like, check out our remote Aboriginal communities where the government hands out enough…
This kind of shit is why I'm pro-abortion but anti-choice. It's clear that the lower classes are doing a terrible job of raising their own children, despite the best efforts of the rest of society to educate them, they…
The biggest problem here is the "let's". Who is the "us"? The problems of San Francisco's status as overcrowded tech hub could all be solved if only everyone could decide where the second Silicon Valley was going to be…
>nature intends to replace the parents with their offspring, using rules crafted by natural selection, not the parents' tastes. In fairness, sex was invented at least 1.2 billion years before parents could have possibly…
>The comments in the article point out that this is not special to Chinese society with specific examples that happen in America Of course they do. It's an iron-clad rule of the internet that if you ever mention…
If there is one man out there who has been "overly friendly" with all these women then... a) Wow! Nice work dude. I'm genuinely impressed. However... b) He will be ridiculously easy to track down and catch and the…
Well, I'd imagine your average client won't object to being taken to lunch in an Uber Black, so this oughtn't be too big an issue.
Yeah, you'll note that even Elon Musk hasn't mentioned the Hyperloop (as far as I've heard) since he sent out a press release and a back-of-the-napkin drawing. A small-scale prototype wouldn't cost that much, surely?
Firefox 3.5.19 on Mac OS 10.4.11 Yeah yeah, I know.
Isn't this a bit like "Students who take too many science classes are likely to be ungodly?" The article starts off from the presumption that greed is bad, and then whines that people who understand economics better are…
