Looks like a function to me m8

this is even addressed on the first line of the fucking wikipedia page

What topic of CompSci (especially theoretical CompSci) is ridiculously hard to understand?
>inb4 undergrad topics that crush plebs (pointers, off-by-one errors, etc.)
I'm talking about something notoriously hard. Not beginner problems.

Show me one UNDENIABLE piece of evidence that climate change is caused by man and man alone.
No p-value or hypothesis testing bullshit.
>>7952497
>this big of a bait
There isn't, move on.
>>7952497
Before man there was no climate, there only was the daily weather. So climate is 100% man-made and some in their misguided hubris even claim they can change it.
Where does science get all its funding? I really don't get it.
A lot of these scientists just prance around Antarctica looking at ice or sleeping in a hut in the Amazon.
But where does the money come from? It doesn't seem like it serves any function.
>>7952425
No, this is a serious question. I'm taking an environmental science course and I really don't get the concept of science.
>rejecting a null hypothesis
So everything is wrong, even when it is right where still going to try to prove that it is wrong?
And every scientist in the text book doesn't seem to be working for a company or the government. They're just like looking at random geological shit to try to "understand" the earth.

They may be privately funded by some rich dude or company or maybe they're funded by government grants if they show they'll get something worthwhile out of it.
Any evolutionary disadvatages to a male fucking absolutely everything that moves in his path?
Females have to be careful, because they can carry only one baby at a time in period of a few years, so they need the best seed they can find, but males... the more they fuck the higher chances to have surviving descendants right?
nice bitch. would fuck. the milf looks hot too.
no. that's how it worked for 10000000 years.
Okay so I was bored and thinking about some equations stuff, wrote it out on some sheet et I found something buggling my mind, i solved this :
[math]e^{x}+x=0[/math]
And found this solution that is some infinitely exponentiated repetition of some sort...
How do you call that ?
Do you even have something to calculate it without going through all the exponentiations ?

okay thanks man

So a friend just emptied his motorcycle gas tank and stored the gas in a protein powder bucket half an hour ago, with the purpose of having new gas in the tank.
I reckon, since the bucket is intended for storing food, the gas will dissolve the plastic?
Can he use this gas for his car or is it too late now?
I don't have information about the plastic readily available atm.
>asked in /o/ and told I should ask here
>>7951813
>gas will dissolve the plastic
Why would you think this would happen?
>>7951950
Because the plastic used for gas tanks isn't the same as the plastic used for food compartments?
Title pretty much says it all. i completed a ton of menial tasks, some important and other's that i'd never even consider doing when unaugmented. i haven't encountered any side effects that i would consider an immediate risk to my health.
i also wrote a huge modafinil fueled list of my numerous accomplishments, which was lost along with the rest of my post when i didn't realize that my subject had exceeded the character limit. This happened twice to two independently written post bodies. That may be an indicator that I'm reaching the practical...

I feel like I'm lacking the motivation to do anything for uni work, do you think this would help and also help with counter strike?
Also, where to get in the UK?
>>7951686
modafinilcat dot com ships worldwide from india and source from two manufacturers who they've found to be competent and reliable. from the look of the pills and packaging, they're using the same manufacturing processes as any other industrialized pharma company so don't worry about the reputation of indian meds as being full of contaminants.
motivation? it's not going to improve that. once you start the work though, a normal therapeutic dose is going to, like, continue the momentum. i have...

Where does it go?
Can I canoe down it?
>>7951372
Try it, just get someone to film you do it.
>>7951372
its a stabilization release gate for a hydroelectric dam's reservoir. They put these in for dams in areas where precipitation and thus reservoir depth is highly variable. In this way they can avoid the risk of catastrophic spill-over, which could easily destroy the dam.
You could canoe down to the bottom, but it has a large rebar cage to keep trees n shit from going thru. You would get stuck, and the heavy current would likely rip you to pieces eventually.

it's basically just a gigantic concrete funnel that automatically leads water away once waters levels reach a critical point.
So what about the New Jersey Wild Burger makes his beliefs cray?
>>7951280
What are you trying to ask?
>>7951280
He does topology like a mad man, namely that he he does it WITHOUT the irrational numbers. Not just that, he redefined all of trigonometry so that you don't have to use irrational numbers
>>7951284
Why do people think he's a quack?
Protip: job market data scientists & ML experts is on fire. If you find these topics interesting you should get into it now.
For undergrads this means CS, applied math, stats, etc. PhD can help but not required. If you have any quantitative PhD (e.g., engineering, even chemistry) there are "bootcamps" to bring you up to speed and place you in a data science role. Some are good, especially the more selective programs you don't have to pay for.

studying to find a job is the most plebbiest thing you can do.
>>7951011
Studying to do something you find interesting AND that others highly value is out of reach for most people. This is one field where the demand so far exceeds the supply that you can solve really interesting problems and make a lot of money doing so.
Pretty much the opposite of plebeian.
I have a bachelor's in math, and I recently started to learn ML from Andrew Ng's videos. I really enjoy ML. It might have been enough for me to major in CS if I had learned about it 6 years ago. Where do I go from here? Internship, more CS and/or stats, job experience or what. How long will this kind of market last?

hey i was wondering if my math was correct.
ok
this beer is 13.0% acl
650.618ml
what alcohol is in beer?
2-Methyl-2-butanol
C5H12O
or Ethanol
C2H6O
c is 12.011
h is 1.008
0 is 16
46.07 for c2h6o
c5h12o is 88.151
84.58034 ml in 650.618 ml
1.84 mols for c2h6o
.96 mols in c5h12o
depending on the alcohol
>>7950879
the beer is on the right.
>>7950879
the overwhelming majority of the alcohol is ethanol
there are small amounts of 'congeners' present
>>7950891
how does the math look?
Thermite
Who uses it?
Who makes it themselves?
Who has any tips on it?
Hows highschool Anon?
>>7950731
At least we know you're paying attention in your chemistry class, high school student. :^)
>>7950731
>Thermite
thermate is teh bomb
