![Reading comprehension example. The wikipedia passage reads "In the summer of 1973, Parsons' Topanga Canyon home burned to the ground, the result of a stray cigarette. Nearly all of his possessions were destroyed with the exception of a guitar and a prized Jaguar automobile. ..."
Crowdworkers make three kinds of edits- (1) A paraphrase edit (In the summer of 1973, Parsons' Topanga [..] Nearly all of his possessions were destroyed, but a guitar and a prized Jaguar automobile survived. [...]) , (2) A scope edit (In the summer of 1973, Parsons' Topanga [...] Nearly all of his possessions were destroyed (including a guitar), with the exception of a prized Jaguar automobile), (3) An affirmative edit (In the summer of 1973, Parsons' Topanga [...] Nearly all of his possessions were destroyed with the exception of, including a guitar and a prized Jaguar automobile. )
Then the crowdworkers asks three questions and answers them. E.g.,

the prisoner’s dilemma is pretty fun to talk about, but hearing other people talk about it gets really annoying after a while. if we all cooperate with one another we can make sure no one ever has to hear about it again

If you're a professor or a student in STEM in a Western country, you probably know someone from the Sharif University of Technology in Iran. They might have be your students, peers, or friends.
That university is now under attack by the Islamic Republic.

We sit with Thomas Manuel @notrueindian, author of ‘Opium Inc.: How a Global Drug Trade Funded the British Empire,’ and discuss the historic opium trade which unleased two wars and ultimately shaped human history

Brilliant proof and a very entertaining video! I wonder what the intended (by problem setters) solution to this problem was.
It’s the “Question Six” video you’ve been waiting for…
Zvezda shows us how it’s done.

give each pixel a random Pokemon type, and then battle pixels against their neighbors, updating each pixel with the winning type (using the Pokemon type chart)
we quickly see areas of fire > water > grass > fire, electric sweeping over, ground frontiers taking over etc etc
Interesting 2's-day fact: an infinite tower of sqrt(2)'s converges to 2.

You can thank (or blame) @standupmaths for the whole debacle…
Thanks to many people who were generous with their time.
A lot of food for thought, in the form of a short history lesson. Highly recommend this.
India collects all kinds of data on its citizens— except the one thing that defines its society: caste.
Caste data was part of Indian census till 1951. What's so scary about this data that so many Indian leaders—from Nehru to Modi—want to cover it up? youtube.com/watch?v=cQFhFrwt…

Fellas if she
- tells you to normalize her behavior
- says she's going through a phase
- keeps you guessing about where she is
that ain't your girl, that's a wavefunction
An amazing essay that's relatable to more than just writers by @storyshaped. Highly recommend!

I was selected as a "Rising Star in Data Science", and was at the workshop at @DSI_UChicago last week! The campus was beautiful, and lovely to meet old friends and make some new ones😊 Check out their work here: cdac.uchicago.edu/rising-sta…
Another very interesting video! Highly recommend this channel.
When the 19th century began, no one was sure of who or what a Hindu was. But by the end of the 20th century, it seemed like the majority of India's population was Hindu since the beginning of time. This is the story of what happened in between... youtube.com/watch?v=dk-L4eOL…

Very informative and interesting video regarding caste and bollywood depiction of Indian Muslims.
What price has India paid for denying caste among Muslims?
In the 1940s, a lower caste Muslim movement tried to stop partition. It failed. In this video, we explore how it's always been easier for politicians to play Hindu v Muslim than talk about caste. youtu.be/SZDCYGVm5E4
