Think of the derivative of the red curve. It represents something like "for each marginal person who switched their behavior, how many total people would switch after counting the social effects of seeing that person's switch". If the slope is less than one, then small effects have even-smaller social effects and fizzle out without a significant change. If the slope is greater than one, then small effects compound, radically shifting the overall expression of support.

You could split each full tile into its four sub-tiles, each with six connection points. Then, each sub-tile can be one of 15 flavors.

One property of most square-based knots I've seen that would be nice to preserve is if successive crossings alternate over/under.

What do the "Required unnominated" and "Required frontpage" filters do? In particular, unchecking "Required frontpage" seems to filter out frontpage posts rather than including both frontpage and non-frontpage as expected.

If you include the implied (0,0) point, then the quadratic still fits.

At least one of the rot13 questions has a title P(X and Y) that doesn't match the X and Y described in the question.

I think most of these are "secretly adaptive/reasonable" in certain contexts.

  • Fundamental Attribution Error: Reduces computational load when predicting the behavior of strangers in short interactions.

  • Conjunction Fallacy: It's harder to tell a complex lie without getting caught, so complexity is evidence for honesty.

Nuclear fusion fuel (also hydrogen) can get to 6×1014 J/kg, which is less than 3 OOMs off from the maximum.

We can even produce small amounts of anti-hydrogen, but not as a fuel.

It was probably thinking of sodium hydroxide rather than elemental sodium.

Although possibly the red candidate would care more about CATXOKLA red issues and the blue about CATXOKLA blue issues, so it just increases variance rather than expected satisfaction?
