Try reading it. Or at least searching for the report which is commonly referred to as SOPA 2.0 by various opposition groups. In essence however, SOPA in some form will pass and this document represents a new approach. As someone posted b

How is the temporary shelving of SOPA proof that on over 1700 policy issues US citizens have essentially zero chance of affecting the outcome of the legislation? As for SOPA - say hello to SOPA 2.0 http://www.uspto.gov/news

OK, my example was not perfect, I was just trying to make it accessible to show why spurious correlations in data have a greater likelihood in larger datasets, especially super massive. The sequence was analogous to the correlation. Given

Thanks for that. That seems a shame because my only exposure to Medium is the quality posts that actually are shared to me or make it to the first/second page of HN. I had assumed the quality of most writing on the platform was quite
