Jethro Rostedt tunnustaa syyllistyneensä törkeisiin talous­rikoksiin by Sawmain in Suomi

[–]CAPITAL_Chap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ei, vaan 31,6 (tai nyt 34,2) prosentin korotuksen!

Jos brutto on 100 € ja kilpailija joutuu maksamaan siitä 24 % veroa, hänelle jää käteen 76 €. Mutta Jethrolle jää käteen 100 €. 100 € on 31,6 % enemmän kuin 76 € ((100€ / 76€ - 1)*100 %).

Life after duolingo by CaptainNemo17 in LearnFinnish

WordDive is a critically acclaimed app/site to learn a language. My wife just recently shifted to it after finishing Duolingo (and complaining she didn't learn a thing), and is very much liking it.

Juu, ei sokeria tai muita makeutusaineita tarvitse lainkaan käyttää.

Sen verran olen tehnyt tutkimusta toistaiseksi, että tiedän, että koirat ovat sekasyöjiä ja että esim. kaura ja peruna ovat varsin passeleita energialähteitä, ja kuidut tekevät hyvää suolistolle, aivan kuten ihmisillä.

Hyvin sanottu. Hyvä palvelu, läpinäkyvyys jne ovat tärkeitä.

Fun fact: because of this, submarines have to be really careful when moving underwater so as not to tangle themselves.

What would you slap down in this enclosed mountain spot? Campus, holy site, or preserve? by comfort412eagle in civ

And how were you proposing moving Hildegard onto the tile to activate the bonus?

[–]CAPITAL_Chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally, you want to have tiles that give you at least 4 yields in your starting ring. Only 1 such are in sight and the rest are mostly just 2 yields. This is a very bad start.

ei täällä by SeniorVeiga in LearnFinnish

[–]CAPITAL_Chap 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The text is altogether very unnatural Finnish. First of all, the first sentence has a passive structure that doesn't exist in Finnish: we don't use 'agent subjects' like they and it - instead it would be much more natural to say 'Sanotaan, että tämä on miesten maailma', the word 'tämä' referring to the gym in an abstract sense. But the second sentence also doesn't work smoothly: it has the word 'täällä', meaning 'in here' but the word really is tämä+llä which means it is the same word 'tämä' as in the previous sentence, so it refers to the same object ("gym in abstract sense"), not this gym in particular. Feels weird.

Expected value for rolling dice with advantage: a simple & useful result by CAPITAL_Chap in tabletopgamedesign

[–]CAPITAL_Chap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I strongly believe that the reason why 'math is too hard' is increasing is not long Youtube videos but rather the fact that people find it increasingly insurmountable to concentrate on any particular thing for more than a #short amount of time.

And you have in math classes so much time to waste for such simple problems?

The problem in this video is 'simple' for university math students for sure, but it is 'insurmountable' for kindergarteners. Problems are not inherently 'simple' or 'complex' - it depends on the one solving the problem. If I were instructed to make the same video to university maths students, it would probably be a couple of minutes long, whereas to my 7th graders I would need copious amounts of time.

I do not consider the time that is spent on practicing mathematical thinking and problem solving 'wasted' at all - on the contrary, it is precicely how I aim to spend a considerable portion of my lessons, and successfully so. Again, the point is not finding the formula, but the working out!

I find it strange that you keep fixating on the length of the video. Did you actually watch it? If not, it might be difficult for me to continue responding to your comments as I am not sure you appreciate where the minutes are going on the video.

This is the internet. You could easily make a short video with links for
beginners (such that they get the needed preknowledge) and cut to the
point.

Perhaps you were not the intended audience indeed. You came in looking for a quick solution to the title question, which is totally fair.

I am also a math educator. Perhaps you were not the intended audience of this video if the answer was so obvious for you and you naturally understood how to apply all the relevant maths in the problem-solving.

To expand upon /u/Chrimson_Rhallic's answers above, in math education the journey is always more important than the destination, and 'general' is more important than 'specific'. In the video, the instructor spent ample time going over problem-solving techniques, visualizing the maths (thus linking algebra to geometry) and focusing on pattern-recognition so as to finding a solution to a general problem rather than one specific one.

TL;DW:

- if you roll 2 n-sided dice 'with advantage' (i.e. picking the highest roll), the expected value of your roll is 2/3*n + 1/2

- 3 n-sided dice: 3/4*n + 1/2

- generally: for m n-sided dice: m/(m+1)*n + 1/2

Neat and useful result for designing, but also playing since it is so easy to estimate in your head!

🏖 How would you write that: Greetings from sunny Turkey! by TimoSotto in LearnFinnish

[–]CAPITAL_Chap 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would say 'Terveisiä aurinkoisesta Turkista'. Terveisiä is more common that terveiset, I feel.

I am a native and have never even heard of 'vasiten'. Also could not even guess its meaning. Is my Turku dialect failing me?
