for some reason he equated the fact that we paid for lunch once a week, with the fact that we had financial difficulties in the 2015-2016 time period. somehow, the truth of the matter, which is that cleantech financing for private companies

For anyone on iOS, I recommend you check out the app Frax. Created in part by the Legendary Kai Krause! http://fract.al/ Realtime, 60 fps, incredibly beautiful fractals on iPhone and iPad. (am not affiliated with them, just

we didn't bid. we're still around though. we have plans :) it will be interesting to see how Tesla makes money. it's probably mainly a test site.

To be clear, I think that the stated belief that there is higher male variance is possibly true. I think it has a good chance of being false, but that's not the point. Statistically, for example, the male population has a greater chanc

This is the response to the reply above; I'm unable to directly respond to a comment that deep. I thought similar things about Charles Murray, and I don't think that the Human Accomplishment book is without flaws -- it has many. N

If I just suggest a reference without a suggested change in "point of view" you're likely to get very confused. May I recommend as a starting point: Be skeptical about the idea of a single number characterizing intelligence.

I'm sorry about nitpicking, as I think your heart is in the right place, but I believe you're incorrect regarding the variance in male IQ vs female. It is a conventionally believed thing, but I think it is conventionally misunde

I have still not given up hope that this conversation is useful for somebody. Here is my redoubled effort. Part of what gives me hope is that the CEO of a prominent data analysis company, who does have a background in statistics and data an

I should add, for the benefit of anyone that reads this in hindsight, that I actually very much endorse the question that this work seems to be asking: How shall we live? I do think the problem has much more to do with the nature of work,

You'll learn a lot more if you ask, instead of "what could be wrong about what this person is saying", you ask "what could be right about it?"

"You can't just plot a single predictor against the sample outcome and expect the plot to be particularly revealing in multiple regression" Isn't this, effectively, what they are doing when they say they have found an op

I'm afraid I don't think you are understanding my point, but apparently it is a difficult one to make. I'm unfortunately too busy to make it clearer, so I will just leave you with a koan. Why not include a third order term in

The measure of possible data sets where, by standard statistical analysis, the coefficient for the squared component is zero, is tiny. There's no guarantee for a parabola, just a very high degree of certainty. Your other point, that th

I'm sorry, I am trying to explain something that is very clear in my head, and I'm pretty sure that I'm right, but I haven't had bio-stats training specifically so I do not know the language precisely. My background is i

I'll try to state in this language what I think is the conceptual flaw. The stated conclusion is "there is an optimum number of work hours, and it is less than 40." However, their method of analysis is this: "We fit a no

by DaniFong 10y ago
Look, I am 100% for the conclusion that we should not as a default case have people working too much! Even a 40 hour work week, for work that is statistically usual today, is in my opinion inhumane. That philosophical belief however does no

You've pretty much got it. The author mentions us actually. The parent commenter does accurately locate the challenge to date with compressed air energy storage, but we've directly and successfully targeted that loss channel :-)

These questions are good if and only if you get to see the person think through the problem. If they just regurgitate they might get the right answer but they'll probably mess up the explanation
