A Dodge Challenger SRT Demon can also reach 10,000mph in 4 minutes if it held its 0-60 acceleration over the whole span.

The first 5 are all considered elite. He says the elite are about 2% so that's about 7 million people on the US.

But you're also missing his Elite Aspirants category which are people who have acquired credentials and social capital necessary for elite status (like a law degree from a top-tier university or an MBA).

If you committed fraud during your immigration paperwork, such as lie about being a convicted rapist or murderer, you should lose your citizenship.

That's because no one can make that conclusion definitively yet. They want your brain to assume that connection. Conspiracy theorists are the kings at this psychological trick.

I feel the same way but I’m not sure if I should.

The internet wildly speculating would probably get back to my mom and sister which would really upset them. Once I’m gone my beliefs/causes wouldn’t be more important than my family’s happiness.

People always interested and fascinated by the algorithm whenever it comes up. Dang makes the (correct) assertion that people will much more easily game it if they know the intricacies. PG always churlishly jumps in to say there’s nothing interesting about it and any discussion of it is boring.

Pretty asinine response but I work in Hollywood and each studio lot has public tours giving anyone that wants a glimpse behind the curtain. On my shows, we’ve even allowed those people to get off the studio golf cart to peek inside at our active set. Even answering questions they have about what they see which sometimes explains Hollywood trickery.

I’m sure there’s tons of young programmers that would love to see and understand how such a long-lasting great community like this one persists.

Wow 5.5 inches did a number on them. In my part of Los Angeles we got 12 inches in 24 hours* a few weeks back. It was pretty bad but thanks to our hideous concrete river we didn’t have the Dubai experience.
