No

Lie Detectors aren't detecting truth/lie, they're detective if you have a spike in stress which is associated with lying. My father had a friend who couldn't get a job because they asked him if he did drugs. He didn't do drugs but his brother use to be an addict. He kicked his brother out of the house because he wouldn't stop storing weed everywhere and his brother killed himself that night. So when they asked him on the lie detector if he did drugs, he said no but his stress levels spiked because of the memories so he couldn't get the job.

Another friend was asked if he was a Russian Spy during the cold-war era for a job, and he was so offended by the question that the lie detector thought he was lying.

Wtf kind of job interview puts you through life detector? We they applying to be spies? :D

Brainlets off this board

>>8810878
Yes they do!

they cancel and it becomes 7/23

If you are left believing you have more answers than questions after learning then you are deep within Dunning–Kruger.

Agreed. But I never stated that you'd suddenly have all the answers.

>I’m talking about such an effect that it inserts “context” and “purpose” into your worldview, grounding yourself where one was formerly lost and inspiring yourself to investigate further with this new-found understanding.

You start with few questions, because you don't know when to begin. Then you're provided a solid foundation that allows you to see the big picture, and then you're flooded with questions that need solving.

>>8810863

If your first thought wasn't pic related, then perhaps you're not capable of abstract thought. Have you never had a moment like "analytic philosophy made clear scientific writing easier" or "learning economics provided a new lens for understanding history"?

Back to >>/x/ for you!

Approximately spherical.

>>8810533

Really? Quite elegant if it is so.

let "universoid" be the shape of the universe
now the answer to your question is "universoid"

waste of money
dont bother

>>8810460

That's not what I'm asking.

Regardless, most other wireless ones have shitty, uncomfortable fitting tips that put awkward air pressure on your ear drums.

>>8810467
Consumer electronics produce no ionising radiation at all. Visible light has higher energy per photon than what these things put out.
People hear "radiation" and lose their shit, but these wavelengths (i.e. radio and microwaves) are harmless at reasonable irradiance

It directly follows from the fact that the speed of light is measured the same in all inertial reference frames, which requires that observers in frames going at different speeds must measure time intervals as different to compensate for this.

Everything follows mathematically from the speed of light being invariant.

>>8810433
But your cells will age exactly the same way. So how is it possible that when you return from your, say, .5c 10yr trip, your cells have aged less than the cells of those who have stayed on earth?

>>8810446
Sorry I thought you just meant time dilation in general. The twin paradox is a bit complicated for me, even in my last year of my undergraduate, I've always been terrible at relativity lol

I think that because the proper time along the geodesic is maximised for the twin on Earth who is inertial relative to the travelling twin, although I'm not too sure

Books on consciousness, that is*

life scientists are brainlets. can't handle the maths.

>Masters in genetics
>150k Starting
>350k in a few years
>No one wants to do it

>>8810736
This is just not true

Also genetics stats isn't really that hard

>only math is a determiner of intelligence

>>8809588
I'm not saying you're only intelligent if you mainly study math. But all intelligent people, regardless of the subject they study, should be good at math. Besides, completing the square is algebra II shit.

>>8809085
why not just take

[eqn]\lim_{n\to\infty}\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h^n)-f(x)}{h^n}[/eqn]

for maximum accuracy

you want the definition to be as simple as possible. and that denotes the derivative, not some process to find it. I think you are mixing exact mathematical declaration with numeric computation process.

>>8809102
Exactly. This is the most natural way to look at it. Can this be consistently implemented in modern math? If not, the theory we have right now clearly is flawed.

0.(9) = 1

fuck you op

Is that even necessary? Just have p(r) for the length of the perimeter of a circle with radius r. :^)

I technically work for NASA considering that my company helps design some of the life support systems. But it's not nearly as interesting as the stuff we do for the Navy. I didn't even graduate highschool yet I'm doing all sorts of crazy shit just because I can weld underwater.

had a buddy who interned at NASA, and highly enjoyed and recommended it

for what?

>>8807232
that a hobbyist can learn

this pretty much ends at calculus

quantum computing would mean all posting is faster. This obviously means that there will be a huge increase in useless shitposts, but it also means the super rare quality post becomes common.
