Imagine if the government passed a law saying that when you got to a restaurant (or car wash, or bookstore, etc) you had to declare to the business what you're willing to pay before we see the menu so that the business could adjust their prices accordingly.

This might be the first comment I've ever seen saying something nice about the model.

I was at Microsoft when they user-tested Windows 7 to death. Including installing eye tracking software during sessions so you could monitor where the user was looking at on the screen.

That data was in part used to justify the changes made in 8: "Users only click on the start menu 0.1% of the time and when they do they focus on a narrow portion of the screen."

Every model I've tried is just abysmal at this, for what it's worth.

If any do it well please let me know and I'll give it a spin.

From everything that came out they seem terribly unqualified.

In this case one cert gets defeated and you go the odds of that number being that low are 2^-384. Essentially impossible if it were randomly selected. It's much more likely you didn't choose that at random so I start guessing a bunch of other low numbers for your other certificates and find them quickly.

The NFL has a draft system where the worst team in the league gets the best pick in the next year's draft.

Tomlin dragging teams that should have won 2 or 3 games into the playoffs each year just to lose immediately meant that the Steelers never got any good draft picks and thus never improved the team year of year.

They were stuck in a purgatory of sorts.

The idea of any NFL head coach having time to do this, especially a winning one, is absurd.

- Gunpowder and steel had essentially nothing to do with Cortez's victory.

- The Aztecs did not see the Spaniards as Gods

- Smallpox played a role at the very end but had little to do with Cortez's victory.

- They leave out the primary reason Cortez won (his ability to build a coalition of native people who hated the Aztecs).

- They leave out the secondary reason Cortez won (superior European battle tactics).

- They ignore the fact that there were Europeans fighting on both sides (a delegation was sent from Cuba to stop Cortez; they were the ones that actually brought the smallpox not Cortez).

The idea that the Aztecs took the Spanish for gods and specifically that Moctezuma mistook Cortez's for the returning god Quetzalcoatl is fiction. We actually know the exact book that it came from.

Smallpox did play a role but it was brought by the slaves of Europeans sent to _stop_ Cortez nearly two years after he started fighting the Aztecs. By the time smallpox killed Moctezuma's successor, Cortez's victory was already assured. The disease was not the key to his victory; it was more that it prevented insurgency after the conquest.

Also worth noting that if your theory was that Cortez won because of the gun powder or steel that is hard to square because by the time the two forces clashed the Aztecs had more of it then he did given the rival European forces trying to stop him.

Cortez won primarily because he had an army with a nucleus of veterans from the Italian wars that applied the lessons of the Reconquista.

The technology that let him win was European tactics and political manuevering not anything physical they brought with them.

The historical record is completely clear and we have first hand accounts, primary sources, from the people present. It's all readily available and anyone interest can easily verify it.

And yet, even in the comments responding to yours, people confidently state just blatantly untrue things.
