When I was a kid, I literally walked 43 miles from my home one day. Took 15 hours. I just had my parents pick me up when I got to the pizza place - no big deal.

Python and Java are barely comparable. I adore both languages equally and use them about the same amount at work. They are just different tools better suited to different tasks.

Okay. That’s a very convincing analogy. Thanks for the thought out response. Forgive me for being rude.

That is not how Hispanic is used in the dataset. Just read the methodology for crying out loud.

Not unless someone methodologically captures all the accounts through interviews and surveys and turns it into one.

I agree that anecdotes aren’t worthless, but for different reasons. There’s actually a saying that goes, “the plural of anecdote isn’t data.” Anecdotes are just stories. They aren’t data points and they aren’t peer reviewed. If you want to turn anecdotes into data, you have to do the proper interviews and surveys to actually build a dataset and then get the peer review, but at that point we aren’t talking about anecdotes anymore.

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

Not sure I understand. Are you agreeing that the moon landing happened but you also claim the footage is faked? Do you have any reasons to support that? You mention something about radio technology from the 1920s, but the moon landing occurred nearly 50 years later, so I hardly see how that is relevant.

Edit: I misread your comment. Thanks to @turmacar@lemmy.world for pointing it out.

Yeah, I’m gonna need more than your incredulity to convince me. Like, fun that you think it is inconceivable, but your inability to imagine has no bearing on reality. Especially when there is plenty of evidence to suggest they actually filmed and broadcasted it live. For example, the fact that a live television broadcast was a primary goal of the mission, or the fact that RCA made custom TV cameras for the Apollo program , or that the broadcast lasted for hours, or any of the analyses out there that shows the video is likely real. Also, no one suggested that the Apollo astronauts had a camera crew with them - what a bizarre thing to mention.

Uber Black drivers are commercially licensed in addition to satisfying a bunch of other requirements.

Housing is taxed at the value of the property, not the difference between the value of the property and the purchase price.

Why stop there? They’re just as real as any number.

Just say you recently came into some inheritance and that you are looking into investment opportunities. Then they will expect you to be out of your element, so you won’t need to try to pretend you’re someone you’re not. If they ask about the inheritance, say your grandfather made a fortune selling lumber or something boring like that.

I heard it was supposed to be human body temperature, but they used horse body temperature instead because it was close to human body temperature but more… stable.

A vector space is a collection of vectors in which you can scale vectors and add vectors together such that the scaling and addition operations satisfy some nice relationships. The 2D and 3D vectors that we are used to are common examples. A less common example is polynomials. It’s hard to think of a polynomial as having a direction and a magnitude, but it’s easy to think of polynomials as elements of the vector space of polynomials.

You didn’t use photos as evidence. You used the lack of results in a Google image search as evidence. Absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence and a single Google image search isn’t a very thorough search for evidence to begin with.

Also Genocide doesn’t imply killing. There are forms of genocide that doesn’t involve mass murder.

Lol at the way you conceptualize evidence. Also lol at the way that you don’t know what genocide is.

That’s not how suburbs work. Suburbs aren’t about municipalities - they’re about zoning and proximity to an urban area. You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about and want to disagree with people who have first hand experience, so I’m not going to argue with you about this. Have a good one

Yes. Long Island is New York City. I lived there and my address said New York, New York.

I brain farted. I lived in Staten Island, but the point stands. Staten Island is a suburb of New York and is in New York. My current living situation is identical with respect to my current major city. I live in a suburb, but my address says the name of the major city.

What do you mean? Almost every major city has suburbs (at least in my country). I live in one of the top ten most populous cities in the US and I live in the suburbs.
