i'm a poor graduate student and i need to download SAS to my computer because i'm antisocial and can't stand to share the same air as the school psych grad students.
i cant get vmware/virtualbox to work with the retarded university edition images, and all the torrents i've used can't find config files or have expired keys w/no crack.

You must select for the PHENOTYPE.
Look at dogs and look at wolves. That should tell you the extent of what Eugenics is capable of. For all their designer characteristics and all there use to us, a wolf is easily the more generally survivable animal. Genetics is astronomically complicated and if you attempt to select for certain traits, you end up only acting on small numbers of key genes while leaving the larger mass of biodiversity unchanged. You can get longer legs, bigger muscles, and more attentive temperaments but that usually results in joint problems, heart problems, and psychological fixations.
Using such eye-level judgments of "preferable and non-preferable subjects", you can never truly breed a better human, just a more specialized human.

Issues that certain breeds suffer from stems more from abusive breeders than it does from dog breeding in general. Working line dogs that are bred properly are no less healthier than wolves.
I am having really bad back pains right now guys. How do I make quaaludes?
go to the doc or smoke some weed.

Nikola Tesla was the inventor of our Modern World, period. Thomas Edison was a thief and a fraud! He didn't invent much of anything on his own, as Tesla did. Edison's numerous assistants came up with the ideas and did all the hard work, and he took the credit for all of it, never once even mentioning his assistants by name! Then to add insult to injury, the US government stole all his notes, etc. after he died so they could take advantage of his genius without having to pay him, or even acknowledge him as the inventor! I personally feel Tesla's mind was greater than Einstein's or anyone else's in his time!

Can someone explain to me why this clause exists? The game is Deal or No Deal an Australian game show, don't know if it appears around the world, it probably does. But anyway the picture pretty much is the Monty Hall problem, except if a producer decides to put this switch in, the player is pretty much guaranteed to win. As instead of a selection of 3 doors and two goats its essentially 26 doors and 25 goats. Am I understanding this correctly? Is there a way to implement this switch, at a producer's discretion to be against the player? The producer has to know what's behind the cases in order for this to be in the game's favor. I guess the only way for the switch to work in the games favor is if the player was lucky enough to select the 200k or have a higher number than the one thats being swapped too, but if the producer doesn't have such information, how can it work?
Full rules are here https://au.tv.yahoo.com/deal-or-no-deal/features/article/-/5252639/the-rules-for-deal-or-no-deal/
>>9155092
You don't understand how deal or no deal is played.
In the Monty Hall problem, the host selects a case for you and tells you "the prize is NOT in this case".
In deal or no deal you select any case you want to eliminate, which may contain the million or any other number, and you're just as likely to fuck yourself out of high prizes as to remove the low ones.
The possibility of choosing the million removes any advantage.
>>9155097
at the start you select a case from i think 26, so then you have that case. every time ive seen the switch feature in play it's the last two cases, the contestants and others, it doesn't happen every time.
So if you have made it to the end and you have eliminated all but one case and offered a switch, you should take it. If say there was pic related possible (not deal or no deal but it demonstartes the point of possiblities).
I guess it's different from the monty hall problem in the sense that there are no options which are the same, there are two goats in the monty hall problem, but you have an equal chance of picking any number of cases at the start.
>>9155106
No, the difference from the Monty Hall problem is that the host is not allowed to open the prize case in that problem. If the host opens something, then knowing this you have information about where the prize might be.
Since you ARE allowed to open any case in deal or no deal, you cannot give yourself any advantage by switching.
Monty Hall is not just saying

Why are mathematicucks so dumb, /sci/?
If you do the problems from the first chapter of small rudin they give a lot of insight into this :)
>>9155020
Repeated addition(Multiplication) needs an additive identity (0) to be done right.
Why? Because you need some beginning number(0) to add all those others to, so you have the case for multiplying by 0.
3*4=0+3+3+3+3
3*0=0
Repeated multiplication(Exponentiation) needs a multiplicative identity (1) to be done right.
Why?
Because you need some beginning number(1) to multiply all those others to, so you have the case for exponentiating by 0.
3^4=1*3*3*3*3
3^0=1

Oh wow I actually get it now. My math teacher didn't even bother explaining it, even when asked.
>If you were theoretically able to have a pole extend from one planet in one solar system to another planet lightyears away in another system and were able to move the pole back and forth one inch, if you sent a message say in morse code, would it be possible to send information faster than light?
>If you were in deep space and were standing on an object able to hold the weight, would you be able to push and move an object the size of a star destroyer using only your own body's power since everything in space is weightless and there is no friction?
>Is it possible to stop and capture light, keeping it completely static? What would be it's nature in said state?
1. No, aside from the fact that the object would simply be impossible to create, the force you make to move the object would not instantaneously move the other end for reasons I am too high to remember
2. No
3. Idk

If I was in Florida where would be the most logical place to be for safety?
I am in a very probable course for hurricane Irma as I sit now (Naples). I have boarded up my home and have boarded other peoples houses in my community.
After looking at the information I see now. It is time to leave.
I'm leaving in 2 hours, mandatory evacuation for my area is tomorrow morning.
Any logical info /sci/ would be appreciated.
high ground and inland.
Or drive north

According to data based on past hurricane-related insurance claims, the "safest" place in FL is Leesburg.
Why engineering, physics and other math related fields are so piss easy once you're got the basics and after you can go through with anything when serious fields like medicine and law require prerperual learning even if you could manage to get a degree? Are doctors and lawyers are the actual masterraces? Are we living in a dream?
Difficulty isnt the same as complexity.
>>9154853
Medicine and law require memorization of obscure knowledge, rather than the development of a logical mind. Doctors' and lawyers' minds are cucked by their professions.
>>9155424
this is actually incredibly true, im a physics phd and my best friend is a lawyer. When he did the lsat he was getting rekt by the logic games component so i studied with him only to find out he actually had no concrete logical underpinning in his thinking. Conversely I later took the MCAT and found out my ability to rote memorize lists of shit was awful.
The UK evolutionary developmental biology symposium starts 10am, 8th Sept.
I'll be reporting as be i can throughout and hope to maintain a productive debate throughout.

Thank you all and stay tuned.

Whats the derivative of a differential?
D_x ( dx ) ?
>>9154834
Huh? You mean like a second derivative? Or are we running the speed of differential equations here?
Used as a noun in this context as a noun I can only take "differential" to mean a distance, so its derivative would, of course, be 0.
>implying f(x)=dx has any meaning whatsoever
