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.
I suspect he meant "consistent".
Saved me from writing the same thing. The GPS code I've seen, written by engineers and not programmers, was an incredibly hacked-together, barely-functional set of kludges to implement a lot of very elegant mathematics.
Yeah. If you want elegance, you should probably just go straight to the math. As soon as you put it into a computer with its pesky limitations of finite time and space, elegance goes right out the window.
As someone who got lost somewhere deep in a single sentence (which consumed three whole screen-width lines) that spent nearly 100 words on a dependent clause (which itself contained two parenthetical clauses) before even getting to the subject (I was starting to wonder if there would be one at all) I question the value of your comments on the topic of elegance...
Can I get this in a Car analogy?
I guess it would be like driving a Chevy Lumia van.
Are you a physicist, or have you seriously studied physics, or do you have a source for that? Because I'm sure I've read numerous times about actual physicists hoping to detect gravity waves from merging black holes.
