At the very least I would expect a "Did you mean..." message at the top. In fact, it correctly does this for the "Neal" query. The lack of one indicates a failure on google's part …

IANAL, but I don't believe that would qualify as entrapment. https://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=633

Yes, he did. From [1]: > "The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material. It might, however…

While it does seem like the insurance company is most likely "at fault" for the fraudulent data, how did none of the researchers catch this? My understanding is that even looking a…

A quick search turns up numerous results of the first two. I know I've heard the fineapple joke before. Those are also the only two I would consider a pickup line. Is there a reaso…

I believe they are a part of Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective by Bryant and O'Hallaron. You can see a list of the labs at http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/3e/labs.html .

Repeating a concrete example from another comment: > Take two copies of K_4. Connect them with a single edge. The minimum cut is the single connector edge while your proposed strat…

Take two copies of K_4. Connect them with a single edge. The minimum cut is the single connector edge while your proposed strategy would delete the three edges out of one of the ve…

Dijkstrta is infamous for his focus on handwriting. A student once told a story that during a 1-on-1 oral exam, Dijkstra spent half the time having the student practice their handw…

The gender pay gap is a statistic that requires some nuance to evaluate and I think your analysis is reductive. Yes, if you add in controls it lessens, but why? Why do women as a p…

Could you clarify your statements and provide references to the bad stats? I'm not sure if you are accusing the Stanford doctors in the article of bad stats or those arguing agains…

It's a difficult problem area. I would bet naively normalizing the data would introduce many new concerns. Does the amount of crimes reported scale linearly with police presence? I…

Rating distributions are often not normal because some subset of players study the game and take it more seriously resulting in a bimodal distribution. See [0] for an example in Ch…

Normal has myriad uses in mathematics. See [1]. Somewhat annoyingly there is no common thread to their meanings (Or at least not one that I am aware of). The article intends normal…

I think many of the mathematicians would agree with: >This "racial bias" is composed of data collected from crime statistics. They disagree that crime statistics are reflective of …

Are startups that have collected data on 50% (or even 10%) of the US population still small enough that complying would be burdensome? The answer here depends a lot on what the hyp…

Are you prepared on the basis of a student not successfully making the change to fail that student and/or expel them from their university? Sure you can invite them in for an inter…

The parent comment was presenting one possible reason to explain the grandparent's observation. They were not trying to perfectly describe the real world, but only to point out tha…

I noticed your two links mention different unions striking; some further research might be important here. One of your links is not graduate students striking, but the union for sk…

I think their comment is a very needed bucket of ice water on the multitude of other comments in this thread that are making claims about disruption and diagnostic performance.

I was thinking along the same lines when the systems of linear equations came up. The difficulty is that the variables are 0-1 while the equations are over the integers. So this is…

This is a common complaint that confounds me. Did other people go to schools with radically different curricula? I had multiple teachers discuss note taking habits, using a planner…
