To my ear, that sounds very much like the GRE Verbal.

At Heritage, in the break room over the microwave, there's a sign: "science delende est."

> may pass the Turing Test Why do you say 'may'? Just curious. Surely you've got something

For me, Maps and pods. If it looked like a RAZR, I'd buy one today

if anyone's writing a script with a nerd in it, this line would kill

I wonder how the bears would write this headline

Maybe you can point me to the "equal predictive and explanatory power" bit in William's writings.

The razor is commonly misunderstood. William of Ockham objected to his fellow theologians inventing things out of whole cloth (like dark matter question mark). That’s the point, no…

I think ppl really do overrate the "mind shift" needed for zero. That's my honest opinion. I think ppl don't think about it hard enough. The fact is, zero's usefulness is a bookkee…

XP was dope. Long-as-hell start menu with 80 folders.

In this case, the building. To give bricks the win over any building ever simply because bricks precede buildings is a little - what’s the word - dumb

And that is an all-time great innovation outpacing the Cartesian coordinate system, you say, being able to word a sentence differently

Do you build out your own information hierarchies and tell the model to use as-is, or do you let it organize everything itself?

Notably, zero persons have chosen to make the explicit case that zero is more ingenious than the Cartesian coordinate system. :)

ok, "no apples."

The circumstances are similar, but the people are different. Look outside: this is WALL-E.

Is it though? All languages have the word 'nothing'. Better candidates: a) place-value numbering aka the positional numeral system, b) the Cartesian coordinate system. Forced to ch…

Re starting wars, you’re preaching to the choir. Re international agreements: yes, the idea is that _broad support_ is required for binding international agreements. Senate ratific…

I seek only to point out that we, the United States, have a constitutionally-outlined treaty-making process which involves Senate ratification, and that in the case of the JCPOA, t…

It would be truer to say the agreement was between several world powers and Obama, as the Senate didn't ratify.

Was the fruit tree important for its fruit? Surely there are other fruit sources, no?

As a kid, I dreamed of doing this. Some of my earliest googling was related to rocket fuel, probably right after October Sky came out. What differentiates High-Power from the other…

The fact that unsympathetic targets are the first to be targeted need not be viewed as strategic. Other targets would be defended, which is a reason not to target them. Unsympathet…
