Thanks, that's basically how I saw it. I guess that's one way how this proof essentially makes the problem discrete (in addition to assuming perfect driving).

Is the following correct? This proof depends on the fact that in the clause gadget (figure 5) the car can't turn once it jumps to the cheek point. Because of this, it can't in from…

I was under the impression that we were very close to being able to move sensors with our minds. http://www.ted.com/talks/tan_le_a_headset_that_reads_your_br...

I'm sorry, but are people not able to ignore this? I, like everyone, use Google all the time and I didn't even notice this till now. There are times when pointing out something tha…

Nah. I think the real benefit is that they have a "victory" every few hours to keep them going.

Yeah. Having been locked in stairwells before (luckily not for too long) I don't usually take the stairs unless they are out in the open.

"Why isn't blaming professors for cheaters analogous to blaming rape victims for being insufficiently vigilant against rape?" I don't think the analogy holds well. The point is tha…

There certainly is such a thing as being too aggressive in trying to detect cheating. It happened to my dad once but he cleared it up by re-doing the problem from scratch in front …

But wait. With your blog now, either your family gets an update (maybe via an RSS feed) or they check it periodically. The same would be true of a public circle. Either they join t…

What am I missing? I don't see this as much different from a regular cook book...

When I was a freshmen at Cornell (2002) there were two possible intro classes: CS 101M was half java and half matlab CS 101J was mostly java with a week or two of matlab (recommend…

I think there is a good chance of google resisting this since they can add the features through other (integrated) apps. Why have messaging when you have GMail? Why have events whe…

I suppose I should be clear from this point on: I am against Google+ forcing people to show their gender. "Well... that's the point. I really don't want to talk about it as an ethi…

I see what you're saying, but I don't think these two are in any way inconsistent. Gender equality starts with breaking down people's assumptions. If people just saw stick figures,…

Just for fun... it might not be impossible: You can reduce R^2 to {x | 0 If I remember correctly, there are about 10^80 particles. The position of each particle is a point in R^3 s…

Is it just me, or do a lot of us geeks have a small font bias? Is it because we want more information on the screen? Personally, I like small fonts when I'm coding but larger fonts…

You're making this into a business decision. I'm sure that google has put a lot of thought into this and made what they think is the best business decision (in addition to the fact…

"them" in the sentence probably referred to "gender issues" not "folks".

Good point. I forgot we learned about "slices of a pizza" that early. By the way, the history of the degree is somewhat interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(angle)

Also quite difficult to get the same level of conversation.

Haven't seen the movie but there is also a TV series. Its not very realistic though (according to a real life culture trainer).
