Are you sure this isn't total bullshit?

I can't take anything seriously after that.

I think you can fit at least two more commas in there.

It's still a shitty comparison. The whole point is to give the reader an intuitive sense of an otherwise unimaginable quantity. It should be a red flag when you've replaced the number 500 with 40,000.

I was unsure about this, too, but now I know it's about 1/40,000 of a 500 mile road trip. Thanks, Slashdot!

I don't think the text of the Aereo ruling was "nobody is allowed to use loopholes anymore."

Me too. I hope it hurts.

I did. Happiest thought I've had all year.

they have used a cheap, well-known material to create the most heat-hungry thermoelectric so far

Did they do it with one weird trick discovered by a mom?

And your orthography is original.

That is so obviously not what the GP meant.

Or you could just knock him out and take his wallet, amirite? Stupid eggheads with their book-learnin'.

Obviously it's a long-time average. The chance of deviating from 50% by any given amount goes to zero as the number of trials becomes arbitrarily large. The summary doesn't spell this out in iron-clad logic, but anyone who spends time thinking about math, stats, or especially game theory knows the score.

Meant to mod parent funny, misclicked "overrated", posting to undo.

Parent and GGP are right, and GP is mistaken, as TFS clearly states. The issue is "a new earned-incentives and privileges scheme", i.e., control.
