It can totally be argued from first principles. If you acknowledge that USA is a union and not a single state then it makes sense that the votes do not necessarily reflect the population distribution and there is some form of rebalancing. T

I live in Prague but travel often to the DC area for business. I’d choose to live in Prague in about 70000 out of 80000 simulations. It just feels better to live here for many reasons (safety, culture, nature, walkability, quality of restau

For some reason I’ve not heard this argument 8 years back when Clinton lost. At that time the fact that she won popular vote was used to critique the electoral college. Maybe at that time republicans stayed at home in the blue states?

I really like to talk about their past projects and topics that excite them and they feel comfortable in. Its not objective in a way that every interview is different but I am very satisfied with the people I hired through this process. edi

Not all python code is production code. Sometimes I just need to write simple one-off script for one-off task. For that bare except is totally fine.

How do you as a user validate the security of tools like this? I am avoiding many potentially useful tools (e.g. Some Obsidian or Chrome plugins) out of paranoia. Is there a better way than going through the code or running Wireshark myself

I use violin plots but a complication is that the shape depends upon the bandwidth hyperparameter of the kernel density estimator that is used inside. The plot can differ a lot for different bandwidth values. Selection of the 'proper&#

Also given that there are huge differences in complexity between tests, how do we know that the successful 22% are not just trivial one-liner tests? Thinking about the test suite in my current project there is a clear Pareto distribution wi

You don’t “have to”, you “choose to”. There are plenty of paths out there. Slaves or serfs actually didn’t have a choice.

I think you can be aspirational for the future but I can't see how a request for an image in historical context can ever be desired to be aspirational instead of realistic? On a second thought, maybe for requests like "picture of

Interestingly, the very first statement is quite misleading. The statement: > On average, a humble wind turbine uses less land area per megawatt-hour than almost any other power source. The article itself refers to this citation [1]. It

If you measure velocity then the points are additive, how do you reconcile 3 point tasks doable in a day and 5 point tasks not doable in a reasonable amount of time? Isn't 5 points less than 2 days then? For the record, in my team we d

Most people have shelter, they just want better shelter. There is a vast inflation in expectations. Previously more people have been living together in smaller spaces, thats why we have housing shortage now.

There is quite a potential for ephemeral musical messages and memes. It can generate resonable lyrics similarly to ChatGPT generating responses with just “Give me funny response to ´claim´”.

Yeah, everyone knows that mean is a bad estimator in presence of outliers or long tailed distributions. The distribution of startup outcomes is exactly that yet people talk about EVs all the time.

Am I insane if I think none of these cases should be the landlord´s problem? If the judge does not evict (1) then state should pay the rent for them.

That is quite insane. I guess many owners keep their flats empty rather than renting them under these conditions. Ultimately, this decreases supply and drives prices up.
