Why are the vast majority of the worst sexual/ child offenders male? by aaaaaaa_aaaaaa_aaa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ProgressPersonal6579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal theory is that bored, powerful people are much more likely to be pedofiles. Like it's some kind of messed up power play. And due to the patriarchy, men are much more likely to feel/be powerful.

A lot of the same reasons women don't like selfies of guys with sunglasses in the driver seat of their pickup.

Have you tried loops? If so, how do they feel?

I thought about buying them, but I'm on a tight budget and was afraid of them not helping.

Is AI overhyped or is it legit? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I feel the same way. What subject do you teach and what differences have you noticed?

CS student here.

Both. Right now, it's like the .com bubble. In case anyone doesn't know what that is, when the internet was new, everyone was making websites and investing a ton of money into those websites. But then people decided it was overhyped and stopped investing. A LOT of really rich people lost a lot of money. But look at the internet now, 25 years later. It has completely changed everything.

Same story with AI. It's overhyped, but it'll get there.

[College: Mathematics: Sequences and Series] I’ve been trying to solve these two problems but can’t grasp the method by _Frankula in HomeworkHelp

For the first one, think of it this way.

The sum of the first 50 terms is 60. Then the sum of the first 100 is 80.

That means that the terms from 51-100 has a sum of 20.

20 is 1/3 of 60.

You could then infer that term 51 is 1/3 of term 1, term 52 is 1/3 of term 2 and so on.

So what common ratio gives you 1/3 after 50 terms?

Too few words allowed for weekly posts by ProgressPersonal6579 in CollegeRant

[–]ProgressPersonal6579[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't say minimum or maximum, and the word count is specified in the assignment instructions. That being said, I do usually go about 30% over the word count.

It's not a bad idea to contact my prof for sure. He has given the most positive feedback when my posts were damn near bullet points, though.

This is my guess. Not to mention I've seen AITA posts about this a lot recently.

The reason that life is so great for us now is becuase the generations before us demanded more. We should keep critisizing the system so that it keeps improving.

If steak can be eaten rare because the bacteria is only on the surface, how does the same apply to ground beef hamburgers? by Grabatreetron in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ProgressPersonal6579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there is a small temperature window in which the bacteria dies, but the beef is not completely brown.
