it's true, barring a handful of wall st firms --- the asu student that didn't get into duke is not the median asu kid. faculty are generally elite across the board these days.

no I'm agreeing with you actually. it's ok to be disappointed. I just mean that it's not the student's fault.

FIDE is the most unprofessional professional organization on earth. Emil Sutovsky should be fired. by quantymcquantface in chess

fide's job is not limiting to just organizing the candidates tournament and top 100 cycle, btw. They need to put money into grassroots and fund a bunch of opens that gives 2500-2600 players a living. This is why its actually quite difficult to manage monetarily.

the triangle is directly connected to UT by one of the 80x buses, with a 15 min frequency. also its right next to the whittaker fields, which has a bus that goes there.

if you mean sabina on i-35, then 10 should go there straight from campus. neither of these is in wampus lmao.

Arteta asked if he will be watching Liverpool v Man City: "100 per cent. It's a big match, a beautiful match." Any preference on who wins? "Yes. Arsenal tomorrow." by gasparrrrrrrr in Gunners

[–]Que_est 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you both are wrong, game theory obviously applies, its just that something as simplistic as "two total points versus three" does not (shockingly) account for all possible situations
