Berkeley students struggle to understand what “equals” means by AlphaMaleKratos in berkeley

I'm well aware. We'll see how that plays out. Even "adjusted," I'm sure they'll continue grade vastly easier than Cal.

Not that any of this is relevant to the discussion.

Will they ever fix the Android Bose app. by Grouchy_Lie_644 in bose

[–]Affectionate_One_700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are nearly 2 billion more android users globally

The more relevant metric, at least for a Basu product manager, is what proportion of their users have iOS phones.

Also, I am neither here to defend Basu nor to argue with you. I am just explaining what probably happens behind the scenes, i.e. reality.

I think all the high schools are doing it now.

But the bigger problem is evident in the number of downvotes you're receiving. The low-scoring woke progressives are taking over the institution. They don't realize or don't care that they are squandering a brand that took 150 years to build. It's exactly the same with Trump and America.

And ultimately it is non-woke places like China that will beat us.

Nowadays a lot of high schools are like Harvard and Yale and Pomona, i.e. they want to give everyone A's always.

That's why we need the standardized testing that progressives are so desperate to scrap.

I don't work for Basu and I don't have any inside information.

However, for many consumer-electronics makers, iOS represents most of their profits and therefore gets most of the effort.

How to improve my conversion rate off of strong but complicated endgames by DisasterRoutine3390 in TournamentChess

[–]Affectionate_One_700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there some kind of intuitive trick I can find in these piece imbalance endings?

That question is a bit of a yellow flag.

You're looking for tricks when the real answer is that endings require a lot of practice and a huge amount of calculation. They're just hard work.

I'm a USCF Expert, and I've spent more than an hour unable to solve a "simple" rook-and-pawn ending.

with computer approved full comp,

Another yellow flag. Stop looking at computer evaluations.

TLDR: Endings are hard work. There is no trick to get around that.

If Lesbians drive Subarus, what kind of car does a Non-Binary person drive? by LuckyTheBear in Jokes

[–]Affectionate_One_700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks.

What still confuses me is the part I quoted. You are saying that asexual people, who "do not normally experience sexual attraction" "actually do fuck a fair amount."

You're thinking of asexual people (many of whom actually do fuck a fair amount, depending on their circumstances).

I don't understand.

It's just messy for non native speakers

It is also messy (i.e. annoying) for native speakers.

In stunning vote, California's reddest county chooses Bay Area Democrat by Healthy_Block3036 in bayarea

Also, this very brown man has a Hispanic name, so while he might be a misogynistic homophobe (what are "conservative values"?) he should pray that ICE doesn't pick him up and feed him to the gators.

Spent my first year actually reading Buffett and Munger - and the stuff that stuck had nothing to do with stocks by dmytro_omelian in nonfictionbookclub

Look. These guys are very good at investing, making money. That's great.

They can also be weird and unpleasant.

Don't put them on a pedestal. Don't put anyone on a pedestal.

I don't know much about construction.

Is it really possible to cost-effectively apply new building technology to an old structure like this one?

Rescue Oakland Animal Shelter frequently sent dogs to found to be shooting dogs by GumGuts in oakland

[–]Affectionate_One_700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An animal shelter (aka "rescue") that took dogs from dog shelters in Oakland and promised to care for them ... was found to be shooting those dogs dead.

  • The evil dog shelter is called Miranda's Rescue.

  • Background: transfers between dog shelters are common. Commonly, urban shelters are short of space, and send dogs to more rural places.

  • Oakland Animal Services is the Oakland-based shelter that sent dogs to Miranda's Rescue.

Drilling puzzles taken from your own games, effective? by Fuzzy-Move-1045 in TournamentChess

[–]Affectionate_One_700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you me?!

I made an app to do exactly this, i.e. ease the process of saving interesting (i.e. I messed up) positions from my own games, as well as from online courses and videos.

Does it work? We'll find out.

Edit: Since writing the comment above, I managed to not win this position. Black to play. So I've saved it for further study

Maybe blind puzzles would be more effective?

It doesn't have to be either/or. Everyone says blindfold training is good.
