I think that 18 year olds in general (there are obviously exceptions) don't necessarily have a good idea of what they want to do. Looking to cultural norms, and asking "Can I see myself doing that" is probably not uncommon in

Oh I thought we were having an interesting discussion about the linguistic mapping between probability and regular English. Sorry for wasting your time. :(

This seems similar, but not identical, to the statement: If there is not a climate trend, we would expect this to happen with a .05 chance. If they meant the latter, my confusion is resolved.

by archgoon 10y ago
Can you clarify why it is incorrect to reverse that into the statement "We estimate that there is a 99.5 percent chance that the observed retreat did not happen in the absence of a climate trend."? I confess to a fair amount of co

> The probability of 0.5% is for a randomly selected river Sorry, what is the probability .5% for exactly? The probability a river is redirected under global warming conditions? I didn't think that's what they computed. If it i

Let's think about this. Let's assume that when a river gets redirected, a scientist goes and investigates it (which seems reasonable), and is asked what is the chance that it happened by natural causes, or is due to global warming

The wording is ambiguous. In general, trying to determine whether a statement about probability is correct or not requires more information than can be encapsulated in a single sentence. The English language does not help in this. We'r

I'm pretty sure that 'cat' is not a particularly creative program, even if I give it Shakespeare.txt as it's input.

This is partially true, but in general, resistance is essentially defined to be the observed voltage drop for an observed current. Sure, you have to sometimes qualify that with stuff like signal frequency, but in this case, you can handily

Technically, that's GraphViz as a service, as it's actually executing on the server. This is executing clientside (for better or worse; yours is much faster :) )
