'It depends on the location. In Macau, China, there is only 50 meters separating the overwhelming majority of the population.

For instant teleportation, you would need the ability to have two copies of the object. Then you could pre-send the information to the destination, and time the deletion of the source object to...

I used to have thoughts on redundancy. I still do, but I used to too.

There is only one thing in the world worse than not being talked about, and that is being misquoted. ~ Oscar Wilde

The best argument for arrogance is a five-minute conversation with a normal person. ~ Oscar Wilde

Since we're programmers, we can assume that we're dealing with a Turing machine, which possesses the basic capability of reading data and writing data, and therefore duplicating data, an infinite...

I would agree if the context was just a mathematical thought puzzle, that's why I said since it's meant for programmers. If the interviewer was also a programmer (not some clueless Human Resource...

Dominant, or automatic Ti means setting up classifications immediately on taking in new information. If the classification is too broad or too narrow, the immediate reaction is to try to refine it....

Since it's meant for programmers, I would ignore the fact that I only get 2 eggs, because in programming it's not a realistic scenario where you wouldn't be able to reset the parameters and rerun the...

Then I guess this comes down to a difference of how we categorize motivations, and we both made the mistake of assuming the other shared our system. According to your system, I'm wrong because my...

Of course, you could even say I think I'm right if I said I'm wrong, because I think I'm right about my own wrongness. The point is we can be as much invested in a belief of wrongness as rightness.

Often, actually, the only goal is to prove another belief is wrong, without presenting an alternative of their own. Which happens to be what I'm doing, right now.

But you won't know what the true median is until after everyone's dead. But when you're dead I will be still alive, doing science. Aperture Science: We do what we must because we can. For the good...

Fertility: Fewer children, older moms If women are half of a population, there needs to be an average of 2 babies per woman to keep the population alive. In Canada the number is 1.6. USA and...

USA is a dead country: Immigrants will drive U.S. population growth in next five decades: Pew So is Canada: Population growth: Migratory increase overtakes natural increase Both of...

He's mostly just ridiculously bad at researching.

It might be a little early to rule out being an alien girl with no soul. Have you questioned your parents?

Imagine having an individual professor supply every student. It just isn't feasible. In theory, the one thing that makes professors worthwhile is the fact that they can help one-on-one. What's the...

Really? There are plenty of people who are holding on to their money without being smart financially. People who don't pay their debts, or shop irresponsibly, but make enough money to keep getting...

I think most people in America have had thoughts about what they'd do if they were president, while also realizing that they aren't qualified to actually be president. Donald Trump is popular because...

Not true. Some people have never sucked at being really really ridiculously good looking.

Sweet potatoes aren't technically potatoes.

Why can't it be both?

Being content with aloneness I suppose. I don't necessarily agree, but that's my interpretation of Zylinder's posts.

My entire username is legit how OP pronounces potato after extended caffeine deprivation (and/or sexual exhaustion).

She said, A thought ... that causes suffering is an attachment. Logically that's not the same as saying all thoughts are attachments or all thoughts cause suffering. I think she means attachment...

When my dreams are shattered, crushed, broken into pieces, and every piece thrown into a fire, I'm not even angry. There's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep trying until you run out...

This would be a reasonable explanation, except that it was she who started the conversation and chose to talk about her childhood. The only recent thing she brought up was where they had moved to. ...

I don't understand how your 3 ideas work. 1) I'm not an expert on the physics, but with a door that slides up and down, I don't think it should make a difference where you pull or push from. And...

No, it just means you must be idolized by ones who do tumblr.

Got it. The numbers of tumblr pages devoted to celebrities of each type.

I'd immediately stop eating my poop.

A few pages back, our lord and master informed us that your first conclusion is wrong: So naturally this must mean our body wants anything that is not chocolate ingredients. Which in turn...

So, you feel stupid because: 1. Your girlfriend finishes homework faster. 2. You get lower test scores despite doing better in labs. 3. You solved a problem differently than the professor...

You would actually. Android has 6 separate volume settings (ring, call, notification, music, alarm, system). When you switch to silent or vibrate, it only turns off ring, notification, and system.

INTPs are the type most likely to ignore their upbringing discuss

People always ask me how I pronounce gif, Jif or Gif. I always tell them the same thing: How dare you speak to me.

Like the other guy said, we're good at connecting new information to information we already have and realizing what it means without being told explicitly. But also, I think what might seem like very...

I'm pretty sure that someone making you feel like you're suffering from desperately low self-esteem does mean you suffer from desperately low self-esteem. Maybe what you mean to ask is, Are you sure...

If you're at one of those places that ask your name to call you, try reading the employee's name tag and saying that. Make them feel awkward for a change.

Well how about you try massaging your woman to elicit her values? If they're different than yours, you're probably just gonna have to deal with it.

What are you supposed to do when someone asks for one cream? Shouldn't that be 1 part cream for X parts coffee? I realized people here seem to think it's a fixed amount. Maybe that's partly why you...

Well, if you have no idea what it is, you're hardly in a position to decide it's nothing to fuss about.

Let's go ahead and assume that there would be a new class of accidents that occur as a result of a computer failing to make decisions outside of its area of expertise that a human could have...

Well again one of your concerns does have something to do with what I said since I was directly responding to it: when you said essentially you're just trading operator error for computer error....

Obviously there always needs to be a manual override for exceptional situations. I don't remember saying anything about working 100% of the time, but I did say If 99% of accidents are caused by...

...And how do such situations have anything to do with the relative safety of auto vs. human drivers? If it's out of the driver's control, it's out of the driver's control. You're dead either way....

I think Google has already proven over the past 6 years that autonomous cars are better drivers than the average human. When you think about it, driving is more machine-friendly than human-friendly....'
