Talk:Rick Bayless

message: The prior version included a sentence stating that a particular restaurant had received "overall" negative reviews. This sentence cited only one particular personal blog review of the restaurant. This hardly meets Wikipedia's standards, so I took it out. Perhaps if there were more documentation from more reputable sources.66.56.63.233 (talk) 03:07, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: The prior version included this sentence: "He is also co-proprietor of four restaurants in Manhattan, New York."  Curious, I looked around to try and find out which restaurants were Bayless-affiliated, but I couldn't turn up anything.  With Google failing to support this, I'm presuming that this isn't true, so I removed the sentence.  Am I wrong?  Can anyone give support for this claim?  -- Padjet1 21:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

"shill" is defined as One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle.  and is therefore an unencylopedic term. Jackbox1971 19:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the wording is too POV and not encyclopedic. However, the fact that he appeared in Burger King ads is encyclopedic, and probably should be incorporated into the article in a neutral-point-of-view fashion. -- 20:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

message: In the pre-title sequence, Jake Brown, although having the title of 'Captain', wears the gold oak-leaf clusters of a major. His second-in-command, Vance Arthur, wears the insignia of the company-grade rank of Captain.
This is irrelevant, and likely a misunderstanding of the rank insignia. In the US Navy commanders wear gold oak clusters and lieutenant commanders wear silver double bars. Commanders are frequently the commanding officers of a vessel and are still referred to as "captain" of the ship. I'm going to remove this particular bit of trivia from the the article.

thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: It's worth noting that in the novel, Scotty put himself on report for cheating, as he knew that the method he used to destory the third wve of Klingons wouldn't work in real life, although the simulation computer thought it would.  This apparently was a software bug he was aware of.
It's also worth noting that he was thinking of more devious ways to destroy Klingons, including the attempted use of antimatter in a magnetic bottle, a method that Kirk would use later himself, and actually suceeded in drawing the Klingons over onto the Federation side of the Neutral Zone.  I think Scotty's efforts might have been mentioned in a flashback dealing with the efforts of one of the other characters. tharkun860 04:17, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

How are either one of those items coincidences? There is nothing directly relating this incident with any of the others.

thread_title:  (untitled) 

message: if you read the entry on this topic in the german Wikipedia, it says there that although he was found of violent games, explicity mentiont Half-Life, it is also said he was not very interested in Counter Strike.
But as CS is quite infamous now to the general public, when talking about violent games and such massakers, people mostly link games with violent content directly towards CS. There is no indication, that Steinhäuser was especially found of CS or used it to train for his spree.
* The official report (http://www.thueringer-allgemeine.de/ta/ta_media/ta.KomGut.pdf) explicitly denies that Steinhäuser regularly played CS, but confirms he was a fan of violent movies and (other) violent games. There is also no reliable source on him being a Slipknot fan, this seems to be an incorrect myth started by the tabloid The Sun (see :de:Slipknot#Kontroversen_um_Slipknot).

message: "Options backdating is the practice of issuing options contracts on a later date than which the options have listed."
This does not seem to clearly define backdating. I have a decent understanding of financial options, and I cannot figure out what it means from this sentence. It's also questionable whether the sentence is grammatically correct.
It seems to me: Options backdating is the corporate practice of granting an option in the present but reporting that it was issued "at the money" at a prior date when the stock price was lower. This allows the corporation to grant an option, typically as employee compensation, that appears to have been issued "at the money" but was in fact issued "in the money." 67.194.84.78 (talk) 05:29, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

message: There are two classes of information theories:  Statistical and Algorithmic.  Scientific induction may start with statistical information but induction of *causal* models generally entails *algorithmic* information for the same reason the statistical model of the first billion bits of Pi are worthless for predicting the next bit of Pi compared to the shortest algorithm that calculates the first billion bits of Pi.  This misunderstanding of the very concept of "information" has been inexcusable ever since Solomonoff published his papers on data-driven induction in the mid 1960s at the dawn of the information age.  This article goes to an incredible length to obscure this first-order distinction.  Jim Bowery (talk) 21:04, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: That article's concluding paragraph admits that "Sadly, in modern usage, the terms bit and binary digit have become synonymous." That is simply a fact, not necessarily a mistake bit is a term formed as a contraction of "binary digit". While some people may try to draw a distinction between what those two terms mean, most do not even in academic literature (as I suspect you know, since it seems you wrote that). Context or additional explanation is needed (or alternative terminology, such as using the term binary symbol instead of binary digit to draw the distinction, or talking about bits of data versus bits of entropy or bits of information). Many words have multiple meanings and depend on context for their exact interpretation. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:16, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
