From personal observations: a humongous portion of 3, with a greater opportunity cost bringing men down (comparative attractiveness of a runner’s physique between the sexes and the sheer suck of running with extra muscle mass if you also lift).
For comparison, look at high level chess.

Have you ever played Langrisser 2? It’s the natural companion to those TRPGs.

I have fond memories of the SNES emulator version. There’s a recentish remake on Steam, but I heard it’s heavy on fan service. The core gameplay and soundtrack should be great regardless.

More information needed. If the threats are significant and development is high (Taiwan, for example) I’d choose 1, whereas a safer, poorer country like Sri Lanka is probably better off with 3.
Ideology: anti-globohomo, I guess. Different places and peoples require different things from their governments.

A new insight to fill the last gap in my last graph theory paper. It was incredibly bitchy to prove the nonexistence of a counterexample in generality, but there suddenly appeared a bijection with a large but ultimately finite family of strings that could be ruled out case by case.
I’ve had the feeling before (research, homework, Project Euler). The secret sauce is 20+ hours of fruitless struggle beforehand :)

This isn’t just Harvard. It is every American university except the ones that admit anyone with a pulse (and wouldn’t turn down the living dead if someone paid their tuition), and perhaps a smattering of religious schools. Even Caltech debased their admissions not too long ago.

https://jobs.nd.edu/ reads “Celebrate diversity with us. Be inclusive.” It’s certainly still a religious institution - just not for the same religion.

Suppose that Pop A has mean 100, sigma 15 and Pop B has mean 85, sigma 15.
The ratio shown above is not the same for the two populations. If the cutoff is 85 and the high mark is 100 instead, this is obvious without computing Z-scores.

Joe Abercrombie, starting with The Blade Itself. Phenomenal characters served with a dollop of dark British humor.

Yes, but I disagree about the style. Caine is much closer to The Lies of Locke Lamora.
Yes, but the domain of wrongthink expands by the day, rendering bits of prior orthodoxy obsolete. And programming is full of people who have difficulty with contradictions in the newest patch.
