Perhaps part of this is statistical errors and selection bias. Most studies are done with a 95% confidence interval, but only studies that reject the null hypothesis are published. If we assume only 20% of all experiments reject the null hy

Or, like Linux, it will become ubiquitous on the commercial-side of business, just not consumer.

I've been to many of the top airports listed. Honestly after a while, they are all pretty much the same. I didn't think Narita or Incheon had better airports than Dallas or Atlanta. The only thing I can think of is that people in American a

I'd love to see some new search engines pop up and break up Google's monopoly. I'd like to see Apple release a better designed search engine, someone make an open-source search engine, IBM make a search engine with the tech behind Watson, e

I think anything with less than 1% market share qualifies as small. I disagree about the flat search engine being outdated. I hate all the social crap, videos, and local listings the big search engines shove down your throat. I've heard a l

For me, the biggest hurdle to 3D printing is the cost of the filament. It's plastic for goodness sake. Are companies just using the traditional economics of printing (cheap printer, expensive ink), or is this stuff actually expensive to mak

Sadly, this is probably the best use-case-scenario yet for Google glass. On a sidenote, the porn industry originally chose HD-DVD, not Blu-ray.

So a kid that came from money, got lucky and sold his app for more than it's worth. I hate these types of garbage articles the media propagates. The media always has the same story they want to tell: - Brush over the amount of time/work rea

Maybe this is a way for a tiny country to make a dent in the world's intellectual community. If you can't afford a giant linear accelerator or billion dollar telescope to make headlines, producing a few world chess champions could make you

It sounds like there is a need for a good indie game publisher. Someone that can find good indie games and get them the publicity they deserve.

Most mobile games don't make money either. He responded to that idea. http://www.puppygames.net/blog/?p=1369#comment-54311

Of course, if you do switch and become invested in Google's technology, they'll probably just shut it down.

I think physics is going in that direction too. The paper explains how math went from experimental to formal proofs. Now, for better or worse, science wants to extrapolate to universes from quantum particles. Schrodinger's cat was originall

Nope, and I wouldn't miss YouTube's crap factory site from the SERPS either.

Their characterization of their spam procedures is grossly misleading. They do not send emails to most people that have been penalized, nor do they give clear instructions on how people can fix their sites. Thousands of small sites were kil

So when Google's Panda update killed tons of user-generated-content sites like Mahalo, eHow, HubPages, etc., and greatly improved YouTube's (which is 99% garbage) rankings, that was pure co-incidence? What about when Google rolled out unive

The difficulty is that you need anti-biotics for modern mass production of livestock. When you feed cows corn (too acidic for cows) and ground up remains of other cows (cannibalism is unhealthy), keep them in small pens, living in their own

The world doesn't have to be evenly divided. Just because you see a group of people that are under-represented in a field doesn't mean it needs to be adjusted. We don't need to push for more white people in the NBA. We don't need to push fo

Totally agree. The only reason you would develop a game in HTML5 is for the build once, launch everywhere attempt. Otherwise you might as well use Corona.

Really wish phone makers would take HTML5 seriously. Right now their JS engines are too slow for practical use. It would be really nice to finally have a build-once, deploy everywhere system

Less than 1% of companies get VC funding, so getting funded makes you more than 24x more likely to get acquired. I wish the report had more bayesian probabilities to account for survivor-bias.

I like gameQueryJS.com as there's almost no learning curve if you know jQuery.

What's the use-case-scenario for this? Seems like if you had complex calculations you needed to perform, you would do it on a server side language like Python.

Do the same few people tend to win most of the competitions? I would assume the number of contest victories would follow Ziph's Law, with a sharp decline after the top few. In which case, it might be that there are a few really good general

Try Statistics for dummies I and II. That should cover the general stuff. Then find books about specific topics you want to learn about.

by JDDunn9 14y ago
While statistics are certainly abused an misunderstood, I don't think that small sample sizes are the worst problem. The media usually reports margins of error, and most people know small samples may not represent the population. I think a
