  1. Amazing. Never heard of this before seeing this video.

  3. Take America Back From Isяael Chemtrails LOL... who's wearing the tinfoil hat?

  4. ​ @ttrestle  How could you possibly know whether all "first" commenters have boring lives? I call bs on that.

  5. It's an Americanism... I think.

  6. Because they looked ugly. That's what he said. Hate, though, is probably the wrong word. We typically say hate when we actually mean 'dislike'. I work with barcodes. I also agree that QR Codes look ugly.

  7. Not really.

  8. It's pretty easy to see 4 revolutions. That said, the question should have been thrown out and scores scaled appropriately. Choosing 3 just because it's the nearest of all wrong answers is still wrong.

  9. I'm showing age... we used slide rules at school. There were no calculators yet, at least none that were affordable.

  10. Relative to the viewer and the large circle, the small circle completes 4 revolutions as it completes one "orbit" of the large.

  11.  @NZsaltz  Rap is crap however you might argue it.

  12. Call me weird, but I find digital computers easier to understand conceptually.

  13. Because most will be in relatively stable orbits.

  14. Shocking

  16. I dabbled in options 20 years ago and got burned. Learned my lesson.

  17. Is there a problem with that?

  18. Same

  19. Exactly what I thought. I calculated 4 but couldn't find 4 in the answer set.

  20. Not really.

  21. Most people lose money, and that pays the fat cats who have the edge. That's how it works. I've been there, got burned. Spent years studying stock and option trading. Even developed my own trading simulator. There is no get rich quick scheme, sadly. Buying a diversified mix of stocks in solid blue chip companies works pretty well, but only over the long term.

  22. It's not a scam, but it's also not a predictor of success. It's just a measurement.

  23. I was the same. Also bad at history and geography but top at physics.

  24. Not necessary. Sometimes a question is flawed and adjustments to student grades will be made. For instance, one solution... the question could be removed and grades scaled appropriatelly. This actually happened at the University where I studied. There are many reasons why there might be a large failure rate on a specific question in an exam. Such anomalies can be and should be detected statistically and investigated.

  25. There are heavy penalties for corruption, even prison. The problem is overhyped.

  26. Spot on.

  27. Depends on it's size

  28. Yeah, but it's still wrong. And the question wasn't sufficiently precise either.

  29. Well, I'm a dev who's been wearing digital watches for 40 years. No apps though.
