    This fails to consider edge cases such as many here have brought up. The implication is that folks who choose to sleep in are less productive than folks who don’t, not that folks who must sleep later for logistical reasons such as shift work are less productive.

    So yeah this is poorly written.






  • I’m not sold on that. I am probably engineer over-generalizing rn, but I can totally see hairs growing as a result of directional growth rate differences and localized fluidity changes caused by the presence of defects in polycrystalline zinc exposed to an electron current.

    There could also be a resonance phenomenon caused by waves in the current moving around imperfections the metal.

    Maybe the metal atoms undergoing electron drift are guided by electric fields through the air to areas of differing voltage, a self-fulfilling short circuit.

    I’m going to guess the challenge lies in isolating and observing these effects to figure out precisely what is going on.

    I disagree. Without explicit direction on OOO we have to follow the operators in order.

    The parentheses go first. 1+2=3

    Then we have 6 ÷2 ×3

    Without parentheses around (2×3) we can’t do that first. So OOO would be left to right. 9.

    In other words, as an engineer with half a PhD, I don’t buy strong juxtaposition. That sounds more like laziness than math.
