In the middle of the desert you can say anything you want
seems vaguely based on the book “Psychology of intelligence analysis”
Use caffeine for short-term performance on a focused task (such as an
exam).
Avoid caffeine for tasks that require broad creativity and long-term
learning.
More data = more ways to create the picture you want or need; also different videos shown give a different reaction
Seen at speed, his raising of his hand looked nothing more than an
involuntary and instinctive act of self-defence. Viewed in slow motion
(as the third umpire saw it), it seemed a wilful and deliberate act of
wicket–preservation. In the first instance, everything happened so
quickly that it seemed impossible that Stokes had time to think; in slow
motion it seemed impossible that he hadn’t.
those ‘juries’ shown a slow-motion replay were more than three times as
likely to convict as those who saw events at the correct speed. The
effect diminished when the footage was shown at both speeds, but
persisted: such juries were still one and a half times more disposed to
find the gunman guilty.
A fairly good rule of thumb is that the more data you have, the more
gold is contained therein… but at the price of an even greater volume of
false gold
Constructing an inaccurate but plausible narrative is much easier when
you can cherry-pick from 50 pieces of information than from five.
It is encoded at U+2234 ∴ therefore (HTML ∴ · ∴). For common use in
Microsoft Office hold the ALT key and type “8756”. While it is not
generally used in formal writing, it is used in mathematics and
shorthand. It is complementary to U+2235 ∵ because (HTML ∵).
To denote logical implication or entailment, various signs are used in
mathematical logic: →, ⇒, ⊃, ⊢, ⊨. These symbols are then part of a
mathematical formula, and are not considered to be punctuation. In
contrast, the therefore sign is traditionally used as a punctuation
mark, and does not form part of a logical formula.[3]
Three questions that researchers frequently ask to quantify the
complexity of the thing (house, bacterium, problem, process, investment
scheme) under study are
1. How hard is it to describe?
2. How hard is it to create?
3. What is its degree of organization?
Here is a list of some measures of complexity grouped according to the
question that they
try to answer. Measures within a group are typically closely related
quantities.
Drawing from psychological research on the nature of tension and suspense, series creator Michael Tucker highlights certain “key components of tension experiences,” including uncertainty, instability, and a lack of control, and shows how Tarantino uses them to heighten the tension as much as possible throughout these seventeen minutes.
Said LA Police Commissioner Crowley, “They say the chalk washes away but that’s not the problem here. The issue is that these sigils are made by amateur occultists who don’t always know what they’re doing. They mean to mark their ethereal turf but several of these alignments are capable of awakening Samael."
Maternal experience of childhood abuse has been associated with offspring autism. To explore whether familial tendency towards autistic traits-presumably related to genetic predisposition-accounts for this association, we examined whether women who experienced childhood abuse were more likely to select mates with high levels of autistic traits, and whether parental autistic traits accounted for the association of maternal abuse and offspring autism in 209 autism cases and 833 controls. Maternal childhood abuse was strongly associated with high paternal autistic traits (severe abuse, OR = 3.98, 95% CI = 1.26, 8.31). Maternal and paternal autistic traits accounted for 21% of the association between maternal abuse and offspring autism. These results provide evidence that childhood abuse affects mate selection, with implications for offspring health.
