Don't ask me how, but I had a failing drive that couldn't even manage to be on for 30 seconds before being unreadable. Since I was curious, as a control, I first let the drive sit at room temperature for an hour. Afterwards, again, only 30 seconds of read time. I then put it in the freezer for an hour, and was able to read for 10 minutes, just enough time for the data I needed. I have no idea what actually happened, and am still skeptical to attribute the success to the freezer, but I did get what I wanted.
The goal with qwerty was to spread the typewriter arms so they don't jam while maintaining typing speed. You can't just claim it was to slow typists down. I'd like to see a study comparing alphabetical keyboards to querty, if one was possible, as exposure bias would be massive. There is no reason why alphabetical order is the best, except for finding the order in a way it was first taught (which could be changed as well).
Many of the people taking these online courses already know the material as well. The top stanford student was probably still looking at much of it for the first time. Myself, for example, have taken a few udacity courses just to see the content delivery. I already knew the material and just blazed through assignments with nearly no effort.
Thanks for the heads-up. I promptly uninstalled the facebook app from my phone. I have way too many email addresses in my contacts that I can't afford to lose. My contacts aren't just my contacts on my phone, I use those contacts for gmail. Facebook is going to have to find a really good reason for me to care to reinstall the app.
And MobileMe was called a failure after that first release. I was only showing that it is not false to say it was a failure. They clearly learned from it, reworked it, rereleased it under another name (iCloud), and were more successful. That doesn't falsify a supportable statement that MobileMe was a failure.
Where do you get off calling MobileMe a massive failure?
Well, Steve Jobs called MobileMe and the MobileMe team a massive failure himself.
"Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?" Having received a satisfactory answer, he continues, "So why the f*** doesn't it do that?" Steve Jobs summoned the entire MobileMe team for a meeting at the company's on-campus Town Hall, accusing everyone of "tarnishing Apple's reputation." He told the members of the team they "should hate each other for having let each other down", and went on to name new executives on the spot to run the MobileMe team.
Gotcha. From this logic, I guess I was too stupid not to automatically knee-jerk 24 because I didn't have a heuristic which was false? Regardless of other numbers that may have popped in my head, I got the right answer before determining my response.
I understand why some people might get the answer wrong. However, I didn't see any statistic quoted in the article which supported the claim that more would get it wrong than I'd expect. It just asserted that I would answer the wrong answer because I would take a shortcut, which I did not do.
You know you can run a webserver and access it locally, right? You don't need (and in fact, it's best if there ISN'T) external access to a webserver you're learning to code on
Came here to post similar. The lake question I imagined a curve doubling every point (y=2^x), so when asked for half, I knew it must be very close to the last day. Then I realized, as you say, the answer was right there, the previous day. I turned to my wife, wondering if this was a hard question or if I did it wrong, and she instinctively answered 47. Sure, I may have "over-thought the problem" but I didn't get it wrong.
I understand why many people might divide by half, but really don't believe other intelligent people I would ask would say 24. The article doesn't actually quote any statistics it found from any study, just makes the implied assertion that smart people get it wrong more often than you'd think. Really solid reporting.
Yes I read the article. I'm not sure how the article being slightly more on-point excuses the headline. I still fail to see how other applications of a language are notable. Mein Kampf being in German doesn't change anything about other German texts.
I'm not sure why using another program that is programmed in the same language provides any context for the language that is important for news reporting. Unless, perhaps, the developer was the same, which the headline leads a casual reader to believe.
Fox News is commonly written in English, the same language used to write Twilight. This clearly ties them to sparkly vampires who are destroying our youth.
Another global consequence: a new new angle of attack. Hack the "world database of people ids" and set people you don't like as "hostile combatants". A wonderful way to get other governments to kill people you want to die by claiming they are hostile to that government.

Tell Tales' Walking Dead game is pretty great. I might even say better than the TV show. The only bugs I've dealt with are a few framerate drops.
Hackers — the Mark Zuckerberg variety, not the identity thieves — have long crammed into odd or tiny spaces and worked together to solve problems.
Wait, Mark Zuck is not an identity thief?
So, you do know there's a thing called the internet where you can order products and have them shipped to your house right?

Don't get me wrong, I love my 7800 ProSystem, but Atari turning 40 implies that it's still alive.
Q: "Am I alive?"
A: "Ummm... Frankly, I didn't get your question:-("
This chatbot is terrible.
Q:"What's up?"
A:"I'm in a great mood today."
Eh, I guess someone might say that in response.
then, a typo:
Q:"What's u[?"
A:"I have no idea, sorry. By the way, I still don't know your specialty - or, possibly, I've missed it?"
I'm sorry, nobody talks like this, especially 13 year olds.

All that science and what we do is put radiation creme on a bandaid. good 'nuff.

In half, typo. And, well, maybe a better example of slipping up and getting something wrong by accident?

JavaScript is useless for learning to program. You have to run your own web server, and ISPs don't allow that.
I'll shutup now. Please downvote me.
You honestly could not be more wrong.

Oh no, he's weak in graph theory and combinatorics? Only about 1% of college graduates even know what those things are anymore. He's clearly doomed.
