Usually easier to move around the units to match the standard equations, e.g. voltage is rate of change of magnetic flux.

"he's a hell of a leader, and he's a tough man, he's a strong man"

expect to see parallels.

Why not? It's an interesting point that he was a Boy Scout, an organization whose statement is "to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes", and he went on to be a terrible human being.

Ignoring that shot doesn’t mean dead, I haven’t seen any reports of over 20,000 people shot dead in NYC over the last 6 months.

Let's see how they're doing... highest post, stickied:

Create however many platforms you want, can't fix weapons-grade stupidity.

Many "serious" numerical computations using rationals will quickly have the numerator and/or denominator explode to the point where BigInts are needed, at which point you could just be using a BigFloat.

Unsurprisingly meandering for a moral panic piece. Lots of words about how corporations and universities have become too wishy-washy and how Trump refuses to play that game, but nothing said of his mostly successful attempt to normalize bold-faced lying.

Haha what on earth is this. Every article starts with a bunch of quotes from some crank with no scientific training. Reminds me of https://vixra.org/.

Hmm, yes, imagine if a bunch Republicans took over a government building, armed to the teeth. I can't fathom it.

I wouldn’t worry for us too much. First we had Palin, then Bachman, now Trump. By all indications the idiot train has no brakes.

Except some of those lie orders of magnitudes more often than others. The false equivalence between the president's lies and the NYT's lies is just flustering. Go to the NYT homepage now. Every possible graph and map of COVID19 is there. You really want to compare this to some dude that tweets like he just got hooked on his sons adderall?

Of course it depends on which troubled population. For rural white poor people all their problems are framed as being from external uncontrollable pressures – they're losing jobs because of globalization, they're in an opioid epidemic because of pharma. Their struggles are not just dismissed as personal responsibility failures.

Does this include "traditional" numerical linear algebra (e.g. stability, conditioning) or is it the modern deep learning interpretation that linear algebra ≈ matrix multiplication?

No, Candace "if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine" Owens is not brave because she gets called out for being a sack of shit.

I would not call it bravery. She started her career as an anti-conservative blogger and then realized there was money to be made in being conservatives' token minority friend.

Funny how as soon as they have their less-than-lethal weapons turned on themselves they suddenly need to use deadly force (Rayshard Brooks).

MIT: A normal class will be 12 hours/week nominally. The average self-reported time is usually a little under this, in the 9-12 hour range. Most students are not taking databases or networking classes (not counting 6.033 which is a dud). Compilers, distributed systems, OSs are fairly popular classes but I'd hesitate to say most CS students take them. There are over 100 EECS classes offered each semester so there's a lot of variety in what people take outside of the requirements.

Of course trying to declare antifa as a terrorist organization is just about as useful as charging all of anonymous with cybercrime. Creating a common enemy out of a nebulous group of people that share a political leaning... come on people this is fascism 101.

Would be cool if it was required that such a label needs to be placed prominently on any signup page.

Heads up: this page has 200MB of resources.

No, it doesn't work to pull a Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings™ on this. It's not just that they murder, it's that they get away with murder. Once that happens the entire police dept is enabling terrible behavior.

I don't get how people don't understand the distinction. If one airplane crashes that doesn't mean there is an institutional airline safety problem. But if you don't even bother to do an honest investigation about what happened, then we absolutely have an institutional problem.

Except deaths resulting from your examples are generally not state-sponsored and then covered up by the very same people that are supposed to protect us.

Deadly force is just the most extreme of many problems with the police. Consider the hierarchy of problems: deadly force is a subset of police brutality, which is a subset criminal police behavior/lies, all of which are encouraged by a system that rarely punishes bad cops.

Very cool. Maybe consider adding a fallback image for the thumbnails while they load since sometimes it takes a while.

When will the meme that hating an organ harvesting totalitarian government == racism die?

To be completely honest, I find it hard to believe when people claim that the reason they never 'got' mathematics was because of the notation. Actually understanding the concepts will almost always be significantly harder than understanding notation.

Maybe you've used it already, but you'll like how Julia does it. String concatenation is *, repetition is ^, and the identity element is one(String) = "".

It says there was a confrontation first, and then explains why under the big "Why did the police fire their weapons?" heading. Seems clear enough to me...
