There's simply no scientific basis for the thing we call 'race' amongst humans
Presumably the equivalent subspecies division in domesticated animals doesn't exist either. Therefore a poodle is identical to a St Bernard, and a Shetland pony is indistinguishable from a Clydesdale.
20% flamebait? Would one of the dimwits responsible for this kindly explain exactly why putting down am inaccurate poster in a witty manner constitutes flamebait?
Doing this will never get you any closer to the government you really want.
No, but it can stave off the one that you really really (like, really) don't want. That's a better choice than many people get, and it's a lot better than nothing, surely?
Anyway, how are you going to cause a slashdot effect to the universe? Telescopes/cameras/computers don't tend to shut down planets (or other celestial bodies).
Just a wild guess - are you a German, by any chance?
the minimum gap is actually a constant function as soon as you passed 3
So the minumum doesn't get ever larger - an illogical construction if you think about - I was just teasing the guy.
Actually I was thinking something similar to him, of plotting "primal separation" (difference between a prime n and the next highest one) against n just to see if it looks nice or just like noise. How would it appear with a little smoothing? On to add to the copious free time stack. My user ID isn't prime, but it does appear to be abundant.
So your argument is that convergent evolution (which is the name for the observed phenomenon) disproves evolution? If you're right, they sure chose a stupid name for it.
The ability to run up a working script in Python, sadly, does not teach the skills you'll need to construct a larger system in the real world.
But this is true of programming in general. You learn a language by writing 10 line programs. You learn programming by writing 1,000 line programs. You learn to program properly by not writing 1,000,000 line programs.
Using the Segway a candidate can reach three times the people compared to simply walking
Buy one for your opponent seems to be the correct strategy.
For every two people he could meet before (of whom, statistically, one would have considered him a jerk) he can meet six who will know beyond doubt that he is.
ummm, I was born via a c-section and was not breastfed (strikes 1 and 2 against developing a good immune system) and I have absolutely 0 allergies (pets or food) and have never had any sort of throat/lung problems (knock on wood), there goes the c-section theory.
My uncle smoked 60 cigarettes a day and lived to be 93 when he was run over by a bus while running a marathon. There goes the "cigarettes are bad for you theory".
There is a documented case of a person jumping out of a plane without a parachute (a burning RAF bomber over Norway, IIRC - he'd decided better to die quickly than slowly). He survived. So much for the "sudden impact with terra firma is fatal" theory.
In summary - this should be -1: not very good at statistics. Metamoderate accordingly.

I think not. Kindly metamoderate accordingly.

Insightful? I think not.

Sigh. A valid comment on why anarchy doesn't work and it's modded troll.

Insightful? Full of shite would be more accurate.
Oh, those are figurative dollars, by the way (or as sane people call them, Turkish Lira).
Or perhaps that one person was a hermaphrodite who went and fucked him/herself. The dimwits who modded the parent post informative should do the same.
