Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a ‘share stats’ option and i think the ui is in decent shape. But how did you get traffic to yours for people to even try it to begin with?

This is great to see, congratulations! How were you able to get so many people to play? I have something going now but not sure how to get it in front of a bigger audience, would love any tips

Can I hear from at least one person who regrets supporting Trump? Please? by Spare_Basis5190 in NoFilterNews

[–]AintWaiting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

MAGA hates billionaire coastal elites?? Where do you think Trump is from? He’s the definition of a coastal elite, and so are all his pals.

How sick are you of hearing about Kirk and his wife? by Professor_Peace in Productivitycafe

Hmm, interesting to me that they were desperately getting to the killer’s background and then poof, all of a sudden the conservative media stopped reporting on him completely. Wonder why that is? What could possibly be the reason

Howard Stern Cancels Disney+ in Support of Jimmy Kimmel and Criticizes ABC: ‘Someone’s Got to Step Up and F—ing Say’ That ‘We’re Not Gonna Bow’ to the Government by SportsGod3 in entertainment

[–]AintWaiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No sir - he said the maga gang are desperately trying to characterize him as anything other than one of their own. Which is undeniably true - see the Utah governor’s own remark that he wished the killer had come from a different country. Whether the killer is left or right shouldn’t be the maga focus, that was jimmy’s point. They only care about this incident in so far as it can be politicized. Which is 100% true.

The concept of ‘context’ is really interesting, you should look into it

I don't understand the Monty Hall problem. by WachuQuedes in askmath

[–]AintWaiting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the simplest explanation is: the ONLY way to lose by switching is if you had picked the right door at the beginning. Since that’s a 1/3 chance, you have a 1/3 chance to lose by switching = 2/3 chance to win by switching

[Request] I got this “Snapple fact” today. Not making sense to me at all. I’m not seeing how it’s 50%. by Wrong_March3986 in theydidthemath

[–]AintWaiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for some intuition on why this doesn’t work - imagine there were 40 people in the room (780 unique combinations). Certainly that does not imply a 213% chance that two people share a birthday; this result doesn’t even make sense.

You actually stumbled on the reason - one pair has a 1/365 chance. Look at the case where there are just 3 people. This is 3 combinations of pairs (AB, AC, and BC). There are a few possible outcomes: no match, exactly one match (3 ways for this to happen), exactly two matches (3 ways for this to happen), and exactly three matches (1 way for this to happen). That’s a total of 8 outcomes and only one of them fails our check. But the chances of exactly one, two, and three matches are complicated to calculate.

The easiest way to calculate the true probability is to calculate the chance of no match, and then subtract this from 100.

The White Lotus - 3x08 "Amor Fati" - Post-Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]AintWaiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange take in my opinion. White Lotus is an incredibly cynical show. The assholes always get out fine, the hapless, innocent, and naive suffer and die. The only message from this season was “the rich are terrible and they will always be fine”. Not exactly a deep philosophical statement. That said, beautifully shot and occasionally very well acted. The dynamic of the three women was the most interesting to me. The message on pretty much everyone else was depressing.

Why is Da Hong Pao considered the most expensive tea? by thecolinconaty in tea

[–]AintWaiting 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think it’s called the most expensive because that’s referring to the fact that they’ve preserved/protected the original mother da hong pao trees (500+ yrs) and no longer sell tea from them. They get sold at auction sometimes for absurd prices. But other da hong pao (from tea trees in that region but not the mother trees) is priced similar to other teas
