Much of the velocity on a home run comes from the pitch (equal and opposite reaction) rather than the bat speed. So it’s not that easy to hit a home run on a 50 mph pitch.

You mentioned the huge number of bovines in the past. I strongly doubt there were anything like the 1.5 billion cows there are now. One reason it’s impossible is that we have liter…

Have you ever looked at a pie chart of mammal biomass by species. It goes Humans then cows then everything else is way back. I strongly strongly doubt that big dumb slow cows would…

Not so simple, remember the inquisition?

Do you mean multiplicative? Or linear? Why would it be exponential?

It would only go in half if they issued double the shares and didn’t get any assets. In this case, the expectation is that the value of Unity equals roughly the value of the issued…

Good thing there are other languages for other peoples preferences!

Not sure where you live, but where I’m from, an increase/decrease in home value affects your proportion of the overall property taxes but not the absolute amount. If everyone’s hom…

Not sure why you were downvoted. As a Canadian I’ve never heard the expression northern provinces, because that’s nonsense they basically all start at the border.

What are you talking about?

They already have the pitchers facing 3 hitters (or ending an inning) rule

No. People are more resilient than electronic storage media.

I think the parent meant that people who had not gotten a vaccine will get omicron, which is hopefully mild, and will hopefully provide good protection. So they probably should hav…

Seems like completely made up pseudo-scientific bs? Edit (due to downvotes): Like they make up a model based on the past. Probably the model is massively tuned to the past data set…

That makes no sense to me. One particle goes in one direction at a particular velocity and another particle goes in another direction at another velocity. They diverge over time. W…

I wonder if you gave away your phone number there? Or how many 7 digit numbers match those criteria?

I am not uncertain. (Billions reference) To elaborate - use someone who gets their hands dirty gathering info then communicates their certainty in code and in person.

No. It is on a Thursday this year. Like all holidays if it is on a Saturday or Sunday it is observed on the Monday. But it doesn’t move if it is on Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday.

I’ve never ran a pencil down to a nub. You’ll lose it longer before that

That is not how effectiveness is measured. 96% effective would mean in the vaccinated group 4 got infected and in the control group (no vaccine), 100 got infected.

As Matt Levine would say, the way to do that is to mint and sell your own NFT. That way you are on the opposite side of the trade as the bulls who you believe are wrong.

Your math is whack. 8/10 coin flips being a 1% chance?

That’s not correct. Dunning-Kruger also accounts for competent people underestimating their competence (like impostor syndrome).

I seem to recall a SalesForce scandal where a people trafficking operation was using SalesForce to manage their operation, and SalesForce may or may not have been aware / helped th…
