That's not what it says though

This is what it says

Implying they haven't been covering mass deaths in NY for the last 2 months?

The brainlet, unable to address the arguments of his hated enemy, now blindly tries to accuse someone of projecting.
He remembers how hurt he felt when someone did the same to him, and figures he ought to try it. It falls flat, and only makes him look even more stupid.

then why did you bring up the "innocence" strawman?

somehow cops managed to not shoot this guy >>11806317 and they also manage to not shoot unhinged mass murderers; surely, they can hold their fire on an unarmed man's back.

>That being prejudiced against christians, conservatives and working class is better than against brown people, illegals and atheists?
If we define "better" as "less correlated with low cognitive ability", then that's EXACTLY what your paper is saying.
Thanks for removing any doubt that you're a larping /pol/tard.

Just FYI, here's how you're supposed to use a paper:
1) read the paper
2) think about what you read
3) talk about the paper
You have to do these in order. You aren't allowed to skip straight to step 3.

>The paper is just a hyper-pseudoscientific way of saying "calm your shit, be mindful of where your focus goes, and magically your attention span increases!"
yeah, and newton's laws of motion are just hyper-pseudoscientific ways of saying "if you drop something, it falls to the ground"

Thousands of perpetual motion machines are based on physics, which is definitely science.
Therefore, free energy is science, and its deniers are mentally ill.

The dyson sphere might be the single most braindead popsci idea ever conceived. The idea that you could ever possibly need that much energy for a civilization, the idea that you could maintain it, and the idea that you would have the materials to build it are absurd.

>When NASA was formed in 1958 IT WAS NOT SEGREGATED
>No separate bathrooms, No evil wypipo blocking promotions
Kill yourself you dishonest fucking cunt.
What you mean is when NACA changed their name to NASA, they desegregated.
The real-life setting of "Hidden Figures" is NACA in the 40's and 50's.
The movie warps and compresses timelines, and combines multiple real-life people into single characters, etc. Wouldn't be the first movie to do this and it won't be the last.

The bottom of the ocean is harder to build permanent habitation on than Mars. Everywhere else wouldn't produce enough of anything or spread out humanity enough to be worth the cost.

>But human neurons develop in early infancy, less than 3yo, then stagnate and stop growth, with fixed IQ through the rest of life.
The 1950's called, they want their outdated model back. Why do we only see this type of shit in /pol/ threads? Never seen anyone cite the Bohr model of an atom in a chemistry thread or the Humors in a medfag thread.

Nothing stops you from looking up proofs yourself silly nigger.

>>9620581
The math involved in deriving them is far too advanced for a semester course. So they just explain the high level idea, maybe include some simpler proofs / proof sketches to present some intuition, and move on from there. OP is a faggot who hasn't yet realized there's a reason every course label in his curriculum starts with the words "Intro to..."

do you think anything you do isn't the result of being programmed by your experiences?
>he even doesn't know what "supervised" means
all it means we chose which input data it received.
you're the fucking fool.

>hurr im gonna say niggers n trigger da leftist
He gave you undue credit by assuming your 3.3 was due to work ethic. From here it looks like you're just a brainlet. Good to know I guess.

>Thats not how tests work
>My voting test would be fair
It's a noble idea in theory but in the end it doesn't work outside of liberal fantasies.
We know from experience that politicians game the tests any way they can:

The tests would disenfranchise the poor:
While your suburban school is having robotics competition and sending students to "Model UN", schools in baltimore actually had to close for a week due to having no heat.
