Yes they can. For example, an ethnic minority could assume that a stupid white person is stupid because they're white. That would be a pretty clear cut case of racism

"All models are wrong. Some models are useful." is the way that I have heard this thesis quipped. I suppose "All models are wrong. Some models are more wrong than others." would fit Asimov's points better, but I&#x2

Exowatt requires rethinking the solar energy system entirely. This is meant to be bolted onto an existing solar panel field that is mostly selling energy to the grid, but gets curtailed sometimes

For recipes specifically, yes. I am not much of a chef, and, when initially learning, I often used to search for a recipe based on a few ingredients I wanted to use. I was never looking for an expert's take on a crafted meal, I was exa

This article seems to be a good argument for a school that's 3/4 project based learning and 1/4 classroom instruction. The author then tries very hard to pretend that Alpha school does not follow that model, and is instead so

The combination of "When documenting" and referencing "J3" indicates that dlcarrier is referencing a limitation of a specific port on a product that they worked on, not a set of global limitations on any 8P8C connectors

So you pay less than 1% of the cost to rebuild your home per year in home insurance, in a state that regularly has fires, floods, and earthquakes? That seems fair to me

10% of the battery per day, which would cover all of my driving other than the rare long road trip. I have plenty of weekends where I drive 200 miles, but then the battery would recharge over the week when I drive less than 40 miles a day

Both QF and QV rely on verifying identity, so that would be counted as one donation of $10,000. The entire point is letting numbers of people balance in some way against amounts of money, so allowing one person to count multiple times break

The one thing that really resonates with me from this article is also the silliest thing: Why decibels instead of bels? Everyone has multiplied in scientific notation before, and making a power ratio of 10^4 = 4 B would be so much more intu

> 2 mW / 1 mW = 2 = 10^(3/10) = 3 dBm It's worth noting that this is wrong, in exactly the way that makes decibels confusing. 3 dBm is an absolute power figure (about 2 mW). 2 mW / 1 mW is a ratio of 2 (about 3 dB). 2

They do subtract as an accounting identity, but reasoning from that makes no sense. My net income can be calculated as how much I consume plus my net savings. I = C + NS. So withdrawing from savings "subtracts from net income" in
