It's arguably more fair. At least purely random scoring doesn't incentivize cheating.
That sounds like VHEMT; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_Human_Extinction_M...
You mean they might be committing acts of violence in the pursuit of political aims? You mean 'terrorism'? Should we really validate terrorism as a means of political protest? I mean, there is an argument to be made…
The same arguments against doing heroin?
Oh they know. It's just that the expected value added to their car sales, even factoring in the negative PR and potential lawsuits, is >0
There are only two conditions for entrapment - government inducement of the crime, and the defendant's lack of predisposition to engage in the criminal conduct. [1] And I think this qualifies on both counts. The…
I'd be interested to see how crows and dolphins fit in this ordering.
I think there must be a fundamental difference in the way Americans view privacy vs how Europeans view privacy. To me, 'privacy' means that my actions performed at home (or in other places where I can reasonably assume…
Censor: to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable. The reason someone's search results are considered 'objectionable' is because they consider those results private. The private…
I'm not getting why this is supposed to be impressive. It just looks like they lined up several tiny motors and used a small gear ratio. There's very little ant-like cooperation. Edit: large -> small
This is such a risky game to play. Yes, I took a similar approach to HS with similar results. But I remember competing with another student to see who could do the best in a class without opening their book. I passed. I…
That hypothesis isn't falsifiable. We know "X effects Y" from experimental result. You're asking for proof that "X and only X effects Y", which is the same as asking for "There does not exist some X' that effects Y"…
Is there any way to hedge your investment in a SF house if you must move there anyways?
I feel like this post misses the point of the whole "technical debt" analogy. They way the author talks, it seams like their org. uses it as a catch-all term for complaining about the code base. But that's never been…

I think your definition of "thinking" is a bit too narrow. Certainly, there are humans with mental conditions which prevent them from communicating with "articulate language" (autism, aphasia, etc). Yet there's little…
This is how I felt about the Math GRE. On the practice test, when I gave myself plenty of time to think, I was able to answer almost every question correctly. But on the real timed test, I scored very poorly. They gave…

Understanding that different people have a different perspective on the world (or at least, grasping that on a gut level) is a key milestone in developmental psychology that normally happens as a very young child…

You do know that anyone can edit google maps, right? They don't block editing in a region until after something like this happens. https://www.google.com/mapmaker
It apparently has a data density similar to blu-ray. A better source: http://www.hitachi.com/New/cnews/month/2014/10/141020a.html
It's possible that white collar crime is just hard to prosecute in general, but poor people have less opportunity to commit white collar crime. So what we really need to do is make white collar crime more accessible. /s?
What's the appropriate response as the interviewee in that sort of situation? They've completely turned you off to the idea of working for the company, should you just excuse yourself and end the interview?
He looks so confused in that picture. Even after they handcuffed him, he can't believe they're being that stupid.
