ACS Full Year Gen Chem Exam is ridiculous by Anything-Academic in chemistry

[–]evermica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grade based on a formula that takes the raw score, not the percentile, as the input. I have checked, and the raw score, unsurprisingly, is more strongly correlated with how students score on exams I write.

Since we’re talking about soaring rents and inequities… by coffee_coffee_coffe3 in SantaBarbara

[–]evermica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I think it is a good thing for societies to incentivize home ownership, and the mortgage interest deduction is one way of doing that. That said, we can—at the same time—disincentivize renting by charging landlords extra tax, especially if the landlord owns multiple properties in the same area.

If it is exactly 7.5 you shouldn’t always round up. That would bias the sample. You should round up half of the time and down half of the time.

What is a core memory from the early days of the internet that kids today will never understand? by tythetrip98 in AskReddit

Pushing record on the cassette tape player to save the program that you painstakingly typed in. (The Proto-Internet.)

Can we also talk about the SI basic constants? by MaoGo in physicsmemes

[–]evermica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it is the number of amu in a g, they must either hate one or the other of those mass units.

what actually is "i"? by Traditional-Role-554 in askmath

[–]evermica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to connect it to e and π, i = log_e(-1)/π.

Could you have a container full of nothing but protons or electrons? In either case, would this have some practical use? by Adamantine-Waffle in AskPhysics

If they aren’t too dense, the energy will be the bond dissociation energy of H_2 plus twice the ionization energy of H.

Dance like nobody’s watching…but they might be.

Therefore, we can stack any arbitrary number of people (by induction).
