We also found that, unlike similar US studies, there was no significant bias against female students. In fact, there was some evidence of positive bias, or preference, for female students.

And then, in the caption:

Our study found academics did not discriminate against potential candidates based on gender.

Some mild irony there

But in seriousness, really good to see this quantified, but sadly not a huge surprise

I clicked that link and the first dozen results were Reddit posts and garbage

Technically yes, but a french crepe would be unidentifiable to someone who had only seen American pancakes

There are a fair few examples in the book itself. https://qntm.org/clean

Took me a while to realise they weren’t asking about the B.A.T.M.A.N networking protocol on some sort of “T??? Attached Storage” device

Yes

Originally? Probably lack of options. These days the aim of the game is sounding “like a violin”, so naturally there’s very little innovation in violin technology.

You literally asked a question and got answers… Seems like you found one?

Violinist here.

Violins make sound by dragging the bow (stretched horse hair) over a string, causing the string to vibrate. At the micro level, the bow pulls the string to one side using friction, until the tension on the string pulls it back - this happens hundreds of times per second, and forms the basis of the sound we hear. Horse hair is slippery by default. To create the necessary tension violinists apply a small amount of solidified tree resin by wiping a piece along the length of the bow. This piece of hardened resin has the same approximate texture as glass or hard candy, and is called rosin.

If you’re moving away from text formats, might as well use a proper serialisation tool like protobuf…

Rebooting works for this too

Exactly. The brain is analogous to the room, not the person in it. Try removing a chunk of a brain and see how well it can “understand”

IT Crowd is cringe even for British humour, and has an unusual level of absurdity too

The article doesn’t say that you must support all people’s names, only that you should make fewer of the assumptions (not even none)
