| 17:48.15 | jfindlay | I added an adblockplus rule for `issues.jenkins-ci.org##.aui-spinner.spinner` today |
| 18:26.37 | spangborn | Does Adblock plus still have that âfeatureâ that allows some ads through? |
| 19:00.38 | jfindlay | I think so |
| 19:14.28 | eightyeight | how is the ui spinner an ad? |
| 19:18.53 | jfindlay | it's not |
| 19:19.02 | jfindlay | but it displeases me |

| 19:42.00 | jsmith | youtah: Order of operations doesn't get emphasized like it should... it's probably the *most* common math mistake |

| 20:36.56 | youtah | half are wrong |
| 20:44.49 | jfindlay | more than half are below average |
| 20:45.43 | youtah | I think you meant more than half are correct |
| 20:46.29 | jfindlay | can you think of a case where the average does not divide the distribution into parts of equal size? |
| 20:46.50 | youtah | LOL |
| 20:46.51 | youtah | oh duh |
| 20:47.11 | youtah | I see what you're saying |
| 20:47.14 | jfindlay | I just thought it was an interesting case |
| 20:47.30 | youtah | A good probability that 50% of everyone you know is dumber than the average person? |
| 20:48.23 | jfindlay | assuming normal statistics, the symmetry guarantees equal parts |
| 20:48.58 | jfindlay | I was about to make an humor then realized, 'wait, is that actually true?' |
| 20:49.21 | youtah | and most people believe they're in the upper half |
| 20:49.54 | jfindlay | so like for the stories about jobs where they fire everybody below average, all you need to be is way better than everybody to minimize the number of firing cycles |
| 20:50.19 | jfindlay | but when you're the only one left, they still can't go after you because the question has no meaning |
| 20:51.01 | jfindlay | and good luck getting an MBA to understand the dirac delta and generalized functions |
| 20:51.29 | jfindlay | but still a valid distribution |

| 22:24.19 | JPaul | youtah, If I was on twitter I would have given the right answer |
| 22:25.02 | jfindlay | but since you're not, you're giving the wrong answer |
| 22:27.42 | JPaul | I'm giving NULL |
