The report covers roughly 1 billion people if you take the working population of the 33 countries involved. At a sample of 215942 the margin of error is fractions of a percent. But, what this doesn't account for is that in the original

Pretty surprised at this as well. But, given you know this requirement now, is it safe to assume that if you embed remote images in your notebooks in future and upload them you'll have no issue? (i.e. it's not stripping them out a

I am a huge fan of Jupyter notebooks, the idea of being able to run my code easily alongside natural prose is crucial when telling the story of data. But, Jupyter faces most of it's challenges in the word-editor part of their product r

You put forth that a statement was a dangerous idea. When asked why you can't simply state that you believe things should be thought about "deeply and long". That is not a necessary and sufficient condition for things being a

I can entirely concede the case for secrecy in these situations. Obviously, my statement is not a full proposal for a specific law, but rather a starting point. There is certainly a level of nuance (as there is with all laws), but, I think

I can see elements of danger if improperly used, but, from my point of view it is no more dangerous than libel laws or any other law which requires explicitly "knowing" what one is doing. A law like that is dangerous only if the b

I'm livid about the abundant existence and spread of 'fake news' and the inability people have to fact-check, but, I also want to play devil's advocate here. 1) This data set mostly relies on a data-set called the "

There was a door on campus that was locked, had signs up and was unusable for a good few years due to a goose that kept nesting right out side of it. They are incredibly aggressive and I most people don't realize how much damage they c

A lot of UW's international students also don't realize that Canada Geese are protected species here. It's a crime to harm them in any fashion. I'm sure as a UW student you saw the days when cars would stop on Columbia (

As someone who is currently building a card system in Unity I greatly appreciate the work that must have went into this project! While I realize it is pretty early in the project, since your audience is hobbyists and indie devs, a few quest

I mean $10/month for 10 users is more than a candy wrapper and two smiles, but it doesn't seem horrible. You're right though, easier ways to meet this pain point!

So they brought in a professional company to come in configure Jira and show them how to use it, for several hundreds of thousands of dollars? Makes you feel like we're all in the wrong line of work...

As a Sign student I've commented on this project a few times as I wanted to give some relevant examples. As others pointed out ASL is not simply English replaced with symbols but is its own nuanced language. Many Sign speakers learn to

It's a great project, but to nail this they are going to need more involvement from the deaf community as they've missed some key points: 1)ASL isn't just about hand movements, there is a ton of grammar that comes from facial

Yeah - they've experimented with multiple monetization models over the past year or so. Now there is a beta for a select group of users. I for one really hope they nail it, but I'm not sure it's on the right path yet. The cha

Yes and no. First every new social and/or blogging platform is praised as some deity that will unlock the path to fame, fortune and a life time supply of cheese puffs, and so the hype should be taken with a very large grain of salt. Th

Fair point on the z-score still to simple but better than a ratio. As far as the LLN, also right but this assumes that PayScale has anywhere close to enough datapoints for that number to be reached which I would question. Also not sure if w

It's statistics 101 to not compare median to average, simply because an average is more impacted by outlier values and so a member of the general population making $15m a year would lift the "average" income far more than it

Really great concept - I feel the UI needs some work, there were a lot of times where it showed an "x" and didnt give me a score - I assume this means its having trouble hearing me. Some sort of distance or volume indicator would
