    1. Binomial coefficients can be computed explicitly in various ways. To get all of them for the expansions up to (1 + X)n, one can use (in addition to the basic cases already given) the recursion relation ( n k ) = ( n − 1 k − 1 ) + ( n − 1 k ) , {\displaystyle {\binom {n}{k}}={\binom {n-1}{k-1}}+{\binom {n-1}{k}},} for 0 < k < n, which follows from (1 + X)n = (1 + X)n − 1(1 + X); this leads to the construction of Pascal's triangle.

    1. "the problem is not swift access, but selective access"

      Curious about what he means by this... I interpret this as referring to the information overload that we're all experiencing today, but not sure if that was actually his intension, or if I'm just projecting

    1. Telegraph service in the U.S. first slowed and then virtually stopped at about midnight on 14 May due to blown fuses and damaged equipment. Radio propagation was enhanced during the storm due to ionosphere involvement, however, enabling unusually good long-distance reception.

      That is so interesting!

    1. Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki 很看重的一点是游戏和教育的结合:利用虚拟环境让知识概念更有交互感,打破传统学习方式。Baszucki 说,以前孩子研究「美国内战时」要么看书要么看视频。我们在想象一个未来:当你认识世界时,你是走进去体验它,并直接了解它。

      TechCrunch 提了一个有趣的设想,也许未来 Roblox 就是青少年的「维基百科」也不一定。

      2006 年,Roblox 推出免费的游戏开发引擎 Roblox Studio,允许创作者用编程语言 Lua 创作游戏,它的开发难度比较低,极易上手。2008 年,Roblox 关闭官方游戏开发,转向平台建设,把全部的创作权交给用户。这也是为什么 Roblox 有着无限的可能性:就连 Roblox 都无法确定一款游戏到底长什么样,但是由数百万开发者组成的 UGC 社区可以。

      尤其在教育中,Roblox 开创了沙盒游戏的一种新可能,从「开放性世界体验」变成青少年学习知识、了解世界的全新工具。据悉,在海外已经有很多中小学已经尝试利用 Roblox 作为教学工具,甚至用在比较晦涩的数理化原理上。此外让青少年通过创作游戏来学习编程,Roblox 因此获得腾讯在编程教育赛道的第一笔投资。

    1. Later he was appointed principal at McKell High School, but resigned after one year to attend graduate school at Vanderbilt University, where Edwin Mims was one of his professors.[7]

      Stuart traveled extensively with his wife and daughter. He visited over 70 countries, along with all 50 continental states . This immersion in culture furthered his education.

    2. He then served as superintendent of the Greenup County Schools before ending his career as an English teacher at Portsmouth High School in Portsmouth, Ohio.[8]

      Stuart was the youngest superintendent to ever serve in state .

    3. In 1939, Stuart married Naomi Deane Norris, a school teacher.

      According to Stuart's autobiography, The Thread That Runs So True, he met Naomi Deane Norris while she was still a student. She played an important role in helping him maintain the school as they grew closer together as a couple. Stuart taught her in school before she graduated.

    1. The quality-adjusted life year or quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) is a generic measure of disease burden, including both the quality and the quantity of life lived.[1][2] It is used in economic evaluation to assess the value of medical interventions.[1] One QALY equates to one year in perfect health.[2] QALY scores range from 1 (perfect health) to 0 (dead).[3] QALYs can be used to inform health insurance coverage determinations, treatment decisions, to evaluate programs, and to set priorities for future programs.[3]
    1. macroscopic perspective of classical thermodynamics, and the microscopic description central to statistical mechanics. The classical approach defines entropy in terms of macroscopically measurable physical properties, such as bulk mass, volume, pressure, and temperature. The statistical definition of entropy defines it in terms of the statistics of the motions of the microscopic constituents of a system – modeled at first classically, e.g. Newtonian particles constituting a gas, and later quantum-mechanically (photons, phonons, spins, etc.). The two approaches form a consistent, unified view of the same phenomenon as expressed in the second law of thermodynamics, which has found universal applicability to physical processes.

    1. 创造力研究学者Howard E. Gruber专注于达尔文的1837-1839年的私人笔记,以这些笔记为起点,还原达尔文的学思历程。通过这个案例研究,Howard提出“事业网络(network enterprise)”的概念,他认为创造者的创造心智都是整体式的,通常创造者都会同时在多个创想上工作,这些创想处于不同的演进阶段,互相之间形成关联,每个创想的进展,都给其他创想带来触动。换句话说,创造者的心智架构是一种“概念之网”。

    1. "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened."

      I don't think people understand this.

      God killed a lot of people in terrible ways in The Bible (floods, locusts, killing firstborns, sending Angels to kill a third of mankind).

      He's a jealous, angry God (see Deuteronomy; Moses describes this).

      Theologically, by people neglecting him, God delivered a blow equivalent to a plague that killed sixty million people.

      More down-to-earth, if people paid attention to God, they'd have done more morally right things and taken steps to prevent this tragedy.

      So, I see this statement as true from both a theological and secular standpoint.

    1. 法国著名漫画大师,弗洛克(Jean-Claude Floc‘h)

      他因其擅长的“清晰线条”画风而风行欧洲,并以 Floc’h被人熟知。

      在巴黎国立高等装饰艺术学院学习后,他致力于为新闻报刊和图书杂志绘制插图。此后,他把自己的才华运用到电影海报、广告、杂志等各个领域,同时还出版了多部漫画作品。

      他的漫画式勾线和上色可谓自成一派,除了在美国综合杂志《纽约客》中画过封面及内容配图外,还曾是《monsieur》(先生)杂志封面主打画师….

      Floc'h专注于Ligne Claire(相当于中文“白描”)。他曾说:“Ligne Claire 就是我自己的一部分,我就是简单、明快、‘clear’,穿着西装打着领带在生活里作出明确选择的一个人。”

      他喜欢使用纸、笔和颜料,认为数码方式不够人性化。

      Floc'h说:“我喜欢给读者自由联想的空间,也喜欢他们参与其中。”

    1. 叙事冒险游戏 Gone Home ,营造了一个阴森的故事背景,主人公在旅游回家后,缺发现家中空无一人,玩家需要在房间内搜集不同线索,拼凑起一个不为人知的真相。

      这款游戏的文字量巨大,存在于信件、便签、明信片,书籍、杂志等物件中,玩家需要仔细阅读才能获取线索,以非线性的叙事来进行推理,《纽约时报》甚至认为这是当时游戏中「最接近文学现实主义的作品。」

    1. 2019 年在游戏界奥斯卡 The Game Awards(TGA)上斩获斩获 4 项大奖的游戏《极乐迪斯科》(Disco Elysium)。

      这是一款没有战斗,全靠剧情推动的游戏,而这些剧情不是通过动画精美的画面展示的,而是依靠大量的文字对话来推进。

      在游戏中,你随便遇到一个 NPC 都可能跟你聊上半个小时,每一句对话都可能延伸出不同的分支。你还不能像过去一些游戏一样直接跳过也不影响体验,玩家如果错过一句对话都可能在这个世界寸步难行,甚至连游戏中的 24 个技能也是在对话中触发的。

    1. 《亲爱的埃斯特》(Dear Esther)的游戏,没有任何关卡,也没有武器道具,玩家能做的就是在一座荒岛上漫无目的的行走,并听着由旁白来读出一封封写给 Esther 的情书。

      尽管如此,一样有玩家可以津津有味地在游戏中走上 2 小时,并认为这是「个非常值得沉思,令人有感触的游戏」,还有评论认为文学化的语言和意向包裹的《亲爱的埃斯特》更像是一本精美的电子互动小说。

    1. 1976 年,一位叫做 William Crowther 的美国程序员为了哄女儿开心,以自己在国家公园洞穴探险的经历为蓝本,创作叫了一款名为《巨洞冒险》(Colossal Cave Adventure)的游戏,游戏没有任何动画和音效,玩家必须阅读画面中的文字,并根据情节输入不同的文字指令来进行游戏。

      这就是世界上第一款文字冒险游戏,也是所有冒险游戏的鼻祖,并随着互联网的普及流传到到全球校园的电脑里。

      一位电子游戏设计师 Roberta Williams 也是《巨洞冒险》的忠实玩家,她在玩游戏时突发奇想:如果这款游戏加上画面会怎么样?

      于是在 Roberta Williams 和丈夫开始在《巨洞冒险》的基础上进行改良,并在 1980 年推出了是世界上第一款有图像的文字冒险游戏《谜之屋》,不到两年就售出了 8 万部,2017 年权威游戏媒体 GamePro 还将《谜之屋》排在有史以来最重要电子游戏排行榜中的第 51 位。

    1. 阿尔伯特.卡恩(Albert Kahn),银行家,慈善家。他于1860年出生,是家中四个孩子的老大,1879年,Albert成为了一个银行小职员,十三年后,他成为了当时在欧洲最大财团之一的Goudchaux家族银行的合伙人。

      在1909年,阿尔伯特.卡恩(Albert Kahn)和他的司机兼摄影师阿尔弗雷德.迪泰特(Alfred Dutertre)出差日本公干,期间在当地拍摄了大量的照片,这使他产生了一个想法:尽可能去收集全世界的影像记录。随后他便发起了长达22年的“星球档案计划”(Archives of the Planet)。

      阿尔伯特.卡恩(Albert Kahn)雇佣了琼.布容(Jean Brunhes)作为整个项目的负责人,先后将数十位摄影师派往各个大陆,采用1907年卢米埃兄弟刚刚发明的,最原始的商业彩色印相法——奥托克罗姆微粒彩屏干版(Autochrome plates)进行大量彩色照片的拍摄(这种彩色玻璃感光正片工艺需要被拍摄的人物几分钟保持一个姿势不动,拍摄耗时同时具有一定难度)。1909年到1931年之间,他们在世界各地50个国家收集了72000张彩色照片,同时拍摄了183000米长的电影胶片,为20世纪初留下了宝贵的影像记录。

    1. However, there remains no strict prohibition on yakuza membership in Japan today, although much legislation has been passed by the Japanese government aimed at impeding revenue and increasing liability for criminal activities.

    1. 1979年的春天,一个在纽约巴德学院就读的美国大四学生,偶然得到一台宝丽来相机。他兴致勃勃地举起它,偷拍了一张自家女朋友的侧脸。

      也许是恋人的青春笑颜太美好,这名叫做 Jamie Livingston的青年,决定此生每天都要坚持拍摄一张照片,记录当天最美好的光影颜色。

      于是就有了这个“Photo of the Day 每日留念”拍摄项目。

      那时,Jamie并不知道自己的生命将因癌症遗憾地停止在41岁,也没预想到自己当初突发奇想的随手拍摄,在朋友们的支持下居然至死都没有间断。

      1997年10月25日,是个残酷的日子,Jamie没能挺过这一天。

    1. One reason why Giovanni does not capitalize the word, “English,” could be because it is not used well for communication, unless people “speak through it.”

      No source for a statement that can easily be mistaken for an opinion.

    2. (she was asked by Steger at 5:00 pm on the day of the shootings, giving her less than 24 hours to prepare the speech)

      This is an oddly specific fact. Try to fact check for accuracy

    3. she approached the department chair to have Cho taken out of her class, and said she was willing to resign rather than continue teaching him

      The source says that the student was removed from her class in 2005 according to the source. To add content, this should be included.

    4. In 1964, Giovanni spoke with the new Dean of Women at Fisk University, Blanche McConnell Cowan ("Jackie"), who urged her to return to Fisk that fall. While at Fisk, Giovanni edited a student literary journal (titled Èlan), reinstated the campus chapter of SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee), and published an essay in Negro Digest on gender questions in the Movement.[6] In 1967, she graduated with honors with a B.A. degree in history. Soon after graduation, she suffered the loss of her grandmother, Louvenia Watson, and turned to writing to cope with her death. These poems would later be included in her collection Black Feelings, Black Talk. In 1968, Giovanni attended a semester at University of Pennsylvania and then moved to New York City. She briefly attended Columbia University and privately published Black Feeling, Black Talk.[7] In 1969, Giovanni began teaching at Livingston College of Rutgers University.

    5. Yolande Cornelia "Nikki" Giovanni Jr. was born in Knoxville, Tennessee,[4] to Yolande Cornelia Sr. and Jones "Gus" Giovanni. Soon after her birth, the family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio where her parents worked at Glenview School. In 1948, the family moved to Wyoming, and sometime in those first three years, Giovanni's sister, Gary, began calling her "Nikki." In 1958, Giovanni moved to Knoxville, TN to live with her grandparents and attend Austin High School.[3] In 1960, she began her studies at her grandfather's alma mater, Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, as an "Early Entrant", which meant that she could enroll in college without having finished high school first.[5] She immediately clashed with the Dean of Women, Ann Cheatam, and was expelled after neglecting to obtain the required permission from the Dean to leave campus and travel home for Thanksgiving break. Giovanni moved back to Knoxville, where she worked at a Walgreens drug store and helped care for her nephew, Christopher.

    6. During the 1970s, she began writing children's literature, and co-founded a publishing company, NikTom Ltd, to provide an outlet for other African-American women writers.

      Citation? Where is her publishing company now?

    7. In a 1972 Soul! interview with Mohammed Ali, Giovanni uses her popularity as a speaker to a broader audience to read some of her essay "Gemini" from her book, Gemini.

      this could be moved to an earlier sentence about the Ali interview!

    8. One reason why Giovanni does not capitalize the word, “English,” could be because it is not used well for communication, unless people “speak through it.”

      This feels like conjecture.

    9. she approached the department chair to have Cho taken out of her class, and said she was willing to resign rather than continue teaching him.[12]

      It might be helpful to conclude the sentence by explicitly stating Cho was indeed removed from her class in 2005, as the source states.

    1. where the family lived in public housing projects. He was an avid reader as a child. He describes himself as both a "nerd" and an athlete in his teenage years. At Danville High School, he played football on the school team, was a member of several clubs, and was twice elected class president.[4]

      This should say: He was recruited to attend the University of Kentucky majoring in Engineering...

    5. A founding member of the Affrilachian Poets,

      There needs to be more information/background on what Affrilachian Poets are. This is where a some background would add backbone to what the author is trying to get across.

    1. When Andrew Carnegie envisioned a museum collection consisting of the "Old Masters of tomorrow", the Carnegie Museum of Art became, arguably, the first museum of modern art in the United States.

      this doesn't seem like a neutral statement

    1. Beginning in the late 1950s, Wharton bought parcels of land on the Kentucky River

      This is so exciting because back in those days women weren't allowed to buy land, so this is super rare.

    2. In 1942, she collected a dewberry from Montgomery County, Kentucky which proved to be a new species; it was named Rubus whartoniae in her honor.

      She was really successful. I love that this highlights what women are really capable of.

    3. In 1916, the family moved to Lexington.

      This sentence just seem to fit right here. Maybe put it somewhere else, or let it flow through with other sentence by coming up with another sentence between the one.

    1. Her passion for poetry sprouted from the visual arts, once she found solace in writing poems and stories. Her writing evolved into a career once she applied to be a writer for the Kentucky Foundation for Women and decided to pursue this practice as a full-time job.[1] Her inspiration comes from her love for storytelling: "Sometimes writing is telling my own story through (other people), and sometimes, it’s telling their stories through my own."[8]

      change to a bulleted list for ease of reading

    1. Studies have shown investing in homes for the homeless actually saves money in the long run.[338] It cost approximately $19,208 a year for the state to take care of its homeless people. This is through hospital visits, time in custody, shelter time and ambulance callouts.[339] In comparison, it only cost approximately $7,800 a year for the state to provide a house and holistic case management.[339]

      This is new information for me. I was never presented that providing homes for the homeless was actually cheaper than letting them roam free. Based on these stats, one could assume that a homeless person would be acting more responsibly if they had a home. This is based off of having less ambulance callouts as a result of providing homes.

    2. Though they have not completely stopped homelessness

      Is this even possible? The only way to make a difference is to reduce. There is no way that you can solve homelessness, there will always be homeless people, at least that's my opinion. You shouldn't set your goal at completely stopping homelessness, although optimistic, on paper it really doesn't work.

    3. if you get caught panhandling in the road ways, it's a misdemeanour charge that can cost up to $100 or more depending on how many times you get caught. This is because it's a safety issue and people are often hit at traffic lights when they turn green

      I think that this is extremely interesting. There has to have been countless incidents of this occurring for panhandling in the street to be a misdemeanor charge. This shows that panhandling is a huge issue in regards of frequency. The fact that people are 'often' hit just amazes me.

    4. The first amendment right protects people to ask for money, help or employment on the streets – this includes panhandling or begging

      Adding on to my previous citation, why did the author state that in Utah specifically that panhandling / begging was not a crime? It makes me confused on how after, they cite the first amendment, which applies to every state in the United States.

    5. In the state of Utah begging or panhandling is not a crime

      This stands out to me that they would mention this. It makes me think, is begging and/or panhandling a crime in other states? What would be the punishment for this? Let's say you get sent to jail. It has better living conditions for the homeless so this would be a plus.

      itself has an elaboration in some Meta MindGraph and is a mark that can be used to impose arbitrary context dependent/bearing interpretation of the some live constructed context

      with a modicum of skint I do see the family resemblance with Synthon

    1. In 1949, she became acting supervisor of the West Area Computers, the first African-American woman to supervise a group of staff at the center.

      Need a source on this piece of information.

    1. Appalachian people are often stereotyped as uniformly white, Anglo-Saxon and Christian, a stereotype which erases the black, indigenous, Asian, Latino, and Jewish communities in Appalachia.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

      Citations are listed but none are unpacked. How are black, indigenous, Jewish, and Latino communities underrepresented?

    2. “Of the acceptable prejudices, meaning those that are either widely accepted, overlooked, or embraced as truth, that remain, the negative mainstream American attitude toward Appalachia has gone largely unchallenged for decades”,

      Quote is not introduced, reads awkwardly. Does not match theme of paragraph introducing the different stereotypes that Appalachian people face

    3. I think I read in Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance that there was discrimination in Illinois and Ohio against people from WV and Eastern KY that made it difficult for them to assimilate into the mid-western culture. Is that relevant? idk. think on this

    1. Facebook (stylized as facebook) is an American online social media and social networking service based in Menlo Park, California, and a flagship service of the namesake company Facebook, Inc. It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes.

    1. no pheromonal substance has ever been demonstrated to directly influence human behavior in a peer reviewed study.

      Of course not: what scientist is going to confirm homosexuality might not be inborn?

    2. The "gay bomb" and "halitosis bomb" are formal names for two non-lethal psychochemical weapons that a United States Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing. The theories involve discharging female sex pheromones over enemy forces in order to make them sexually attracted to each other. The research and notion today is largely ridiculed for the bizarre idea, as well as the non-effects of turning combatants or subjects gay.

      I love government projects because they aren't held up by "scientific" and political status games and ideological fashion — they get shit done.

    1. Affrilachian-themed art exhibitions

      The works of Affrilachian members have now increased and should be recognized. Example, a book called Black Bone is a poetry book crafted by Affrilachian poets celebrating 25 years of the Affrilachian work

    1. The gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy or the fallacy of the maturity of chances, is the erroneous belief that if a particular event occurs more frequently than normal during the past it is less likely to happen in the future (or vice versa), when it has otherwise been established that the probability of such events does not depend on what has happened in the past. Such events, having the quality of historical independence, are referred to as statistically independent. The fallacy is commonly associated with gambling, where it may be believed, for example, that the next dice roll is more than usually likely to be six because there have recently been fewer than the usual number of sixes.
    1. Though rarer in computer science, one can use category theory directly, which defines a monad as a functor with two additional natural transformations. So to begin, a structure requires a higher-order function (or "functional") named map to qualify as a functor:

      rare in computer science using category theory directly in computer science What other areas of math can be used / are rare to use directly in computer science?

    2. A combinator, typically called bind (as in binding a variable) and represented with an infix operator >>=, that unwraps a monadic variable, then inserts it into a monadic function/expression, resulting in a new monadic value:(mx >>= f) : (M T, T → M U) → M U
