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 the track for one for one variable to that for an

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 that could be improved makes the experience worse. On top of

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 that a professor is supposed to help his/her students when the

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 of the teacher. I think it's absolutely critical that any a

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 the public circle an get an update when you post or they c

"But besides all that, teaching is a profession that is charged with preparing and educating our youth for tomorrow. Obviously, teachers go into it knowing this, and often for that very reason. But in my eyes, that's quite a responsibility.

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 (recommended for CS majors) After this class (or the AP test) our next

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 when you have Google Calendar? Etc...

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 ethical decision, and I guess I can avoid that by pointing out t

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, I think they'd assume they were male. Thus, to break tha

Just for fun... it might not be impossible: You can reduce R^2 to {x | 0<=x<=1}[1] and thus, by induction, we can reduce R^n to {x | 0<=x<=1} for any integer n. If I remember correctly, there are about 10^80 particles. The

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 for other stuff.

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 that they are testing it in beta). There are, however, con

"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)

"Now you forgot the bisexuals! ;p" You know, I thought that at firs too. I was going to say that it doesn't make sense to say a bisexual has B=0.5 and that we should have B_male and B_female. However, as I tried to think of a situation wh

I don't understand this statement at all. Are you saying that he's ignoring the fact that women have different abilities to defend themselves from attackers?

"the problem is with degrees" I partly disagree. For kids, defining something using irrational numbers would probably be very confusing. Using integers is much easier. So, why 360? Because we talk about right angles a lot and we want to

Why does smallest in terms of absolute value matter? In any event, I can define the circle via the center and r/2 or center and r/4, etc... I don't see any value in caring about the absolute value. As for dimensionality, how are you using
