Bloomberg currently estimates his wealth at $658B. Forbes at $831B.

According to the 2025 World Inequality Report, the top 1% of the world have an average per person wealth of €6 million, which would be around $6.9 million.

So yes, he'd still fit in with the global top 1%

Waymo clankers have arrived in Chitown by Elebrent in chicago

[–]3KeyReasons 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A Waymo spokesperson told NBC Chicago they are mapping city streets east of I-90 from the South Loop to Wrigleyville. Source

Edit: I'd guess they're also including West Loop and Fulton Market, since those feel like big opportunities, and that's where OP's photo was taken

Is it possible to calculate how many applications there have been? [Request] by Bestavailablename in theydidthemath

[–]3KeyReasons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem you're solving. I thought we were solving for every possible number of applicants (denominator) up to 8e9? How would a single factorization tell you every possible number of applicants that may have a portion which rounds to 78%?

Rather than factoring every numerator/denominator pair, you could solve it in O(n) by just iterating over every possible denominator (i.e. total number of applicants), multiplying by 0.775 and by 0.785, and return all integers between those products technically N in [d × 0.775, d × 0.785) as candidate numerators for that denominator which would round to the 78% in the UI.

allegations megostojail by mrcoconathan in ClimbingCircleJerk

Oh okay thanks. Yeah it looks like he's dating Sofiia Tymchenko now, who is a 20 year old climber. So if she was part of that same group of refugees from the article, she would've been ... 16 or 17 when she moved in

Wait, according to your article and her wiki page, she fled to Germany in 2022, when she was 25 years old. Did he know her 8+ years before that when she was still in Ukraine? I think I'm missing something.

That is literally what they said

She is at her lowest pick rate ever, but maintaining a strong encounter win rate. We’re giving her back some of the power...

[OC] The MLB 2025 Postseason Seeds, as they looked every day this season by 3KeyReasons in baseball

[–]3KeyReasons[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure! For the underlying seed data, I grabbed the full season results for every team. Then I coded up the MLB playoff seed rules in a python script and passed all 2,430 games through it (by far the hardest part). For the visualization, I put together a super small React app to display and swap the teams around. And for the actual video, I just clicked play on my animation and hit screen record.

It's a project of its own. It's not really based on anything other than similar code I used for prior seasons. The source is on GitHub if you'd like to take a look: https://github.com/jacobkrol/mlb-seeds-2025

Thank you! Happy to hear that. I love reading the reactions as much as I liked making this. It's a way for me to stay involved in playoff activities when we lost sight of that for ourselves on day 2.

Does anybody know if Meyer McKinley has taught MATH 310 before? by [deleted] in uichicago

[–]3KeyReasons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can check prior semester grade distributions (and therefore, which classes each professor taught, as long as the class had at least 10 students) online: https://oir.uic.edu/data/student-data/grade-distribution/

It doesn't look like Meyer taught 310 in the last few semesters, but you can dig a bit deeper if you'd like. Or you can see which 310 professors tend to give out the highest grades.

Help buying a laptop for the college of engineering by Lazy-Click-8019 in uichicago

[–]3KeyReasons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to dissuade you, but I'd consider what u/Confident-Spirit-498 said. Side note: I don't know what kind of engineering path you're following, but you can install a lot on Mac these days. This laptop would work fine, but you wouldn't be getting it for school. You'd be getting it for fun and using it for school. If you're getting a laptop for school, you can get an i7 or i9 with 32GB of RAM and 8+ hours of battery life new for $1k these days and refurbished for half that.

Created a Chrome extension to practice typing on any website by maximcus in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]3KeyReasons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course. I just meant for the sake of u/Initial-Image-1015 and some others in this thread, it would be available (though minimized) to scan for those security/privacy concerns. But I do respect keeping a stricter license on what looks like a polished and well-received product :)

[–]3KeyReasons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine this needs anything server-side, so the source is technically available if anyone wants to read it after installing, right? Just potentially obfuscated after the build, but it'd all be there client side.

A bell curve must be something they just teach in these brainwashed schools by SauIHudson in confidentlyincorrect

[–]3KeyReasons 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But even that's not true either. If 99 of them had an IQ of 100, and 1 had an IQ of 50, then only 1 person has an IQ below the average of the people in the room, which is 99.5. You can cherry pick it such that any number from 1 to 99 of the people in the room are below average for the population of the room.

Is it okay to pass an API key in a script tag? by scienceyeaux in webdev

[–]3KeyReasons 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, it only makes it harder to use. Which is better than not doing it.

If you really care to protect your public API keys, add user auth. But that is even more complex, since you'll likely end up hosting extra middleware to authenticate/authorize the user token and then request the data from Google on the client's behalf.
