They did give a P value, it's the final column labelled Pr (>|t|). The findings are significant. They also gave the standard error, which you can use to compute your own confidence interval (95% would be about 2x, or ranging from n

Thanks, this is all very interesting. I do think there's a bit more to consider though, such as how it's much harder to design walkably compact neighborhoods with arterial roadways than with gridded ones, meaning you might just g

Doesn't some of this behavior come from the rather preposterous way simcity models its drivers? A model where there is no persistent data and the heuristic is instead "go to nearest house and declare that home, if someone beat me

This is actually the least defensible claim there. I posted this in the comments: "Every Voting System is Manipulable" is an exaggeration of the implications of strategic voting. Yes, the Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem proves tha

If you genuinely want to help, I suggest porting launchpadlib to Python3: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpadlib/+bug/1060734 This is affecting other parts of Ubuntu, as we don't always install python2 anymo

The general argument against raising fines alongside wealth is that it might actually be "efficient" for people to break the law and incur the fine. If the act you're trying to prevent can only cause, say, a thousand dollars

It probably wasn't legal in the US either. The remedy, however, is threatening legal action and withholding rent.

The Spanish high court deferred to the European Court of Justice, and there's no one for them to defer to after that. That makes the Supreme Court analogy pretty apt as far as judicial rulings are concerned in this matter. If you read

For echolocation to work, you'd basically need some sort of mold of the animal itself that moved in real-time to match it.

Are you sure it's unambiguous? Four way stops have both a "whoever was here first goes" rule and a "we arrived at approximately the same time so the person on the right goes" rule. That alone adds ambiguity, as th

There's an efficiency argument against metering. Bandwidth is "free" unless service is near capacity, so introducing pricing that discourages use during that off-peak period can create needless problems. So maybe you only w

If I give prospective employers my github handle they'll think I'm inactive in open source. If I point them to my webpage they can see the links to all the non-github hosted open source I do (Launchpad, self-hosted, etc).

Part of what might make this reasonable is that this process takes who is moving in together as a given. Say you and I want to be roommates, and you happen to know that I have a pathological fear of sleeping in big bedrooms. Clearly the e

Still, it seems a little counterintuitive that it's not worth putting up an edge or something.

Also note that it provides error bars around the result -- in your case 578.13 minus those error bars was probably less than 562.50.

If everyone feels it's fair then by definition it's "right", however such an approach wouldn't feel fair to me because I have different preferences and usage habits that aren't getting factored in here. The to

Why not just start with "virtual" PO boxes? Instead of addressing letters to a physical mailbox, people who want to send me mail should address them to some unique identifier that means me the person. I would then go and tell the

That dead man's switch sounds like a great way to wipe your phone every time you take a nap. Regardless, if the hypothetical possiblity that some incredibly uncommon dead man's switch exists is justification for this sort of searc

This is handled by rounding. In the US many businesses already opt out of pennies and just round things down to the nearest 5 cents. It's just an extension of the rounding they already do (for instance when an 8.5% sales tax is added

One of the easiest ways to do this is to declare the bathrooms unisex, especially if you have a serious gender imbalance at work. I worked at a startup office that had a (typical) 80% male to female ratio, but the building was designed wit

Yes, you still have to apt-get install python3-pip, just like older releases. This doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world though.

The City of San Francisco is using this law to threaten people who do this with the explicit permission of their landlords. Or who own their own place.

These aren't "proper" debs though -- they're not provided by the distribution, don't use the standard build tools, and so on. The closest analogy I can think of is the new packages you get from the paid portion of
