It does not have a sample size. It was not sampled and one is not a size. The most basic cases of statistics run on point estimate evaluations. With one datum you just have a point, not an estimate, and you cannot evaluate anything.

no. the actual efficacy on this isn't 50% or 100% or 0% is is unknown. The value of the vaccines is in part that there is evidence to backup that they work, they aren't dangerous, they are formulated properly and consistently.

What do you mean by lab efficacy? These vaccines are using large scale real life clinical trials.

Lack of separation? If it turns out they did take any direction on this from anyone holding a short position in GME I would imagine RH is fully and completely screwed, as are their investors. this is all hypothetical, which is why I used th

experiments are great...when done safely. There are lots of stories of 'experiments' done wrong, and these are why research ethics and review boards exist. Experiments have no inherent value.

variable rate steering racks absolutely exist - early 2000s BMW 5 series and honda S2000 are the ones off the top of my head. They are not common. Mostly nowadays a similar effect is created via variable assist. Human interface-wise, nonlin

ah okay. I wasn't sure what services RH offered and didn't. The amount of meme-ery around them had me wondering if they had decided to go beyond being a broker to try and extract more money from users like they do by selling acces

I'm in the first trimester of the manufacturing process, excited but also having some sticker shock at day care options. Never built something so initially unstable that ends up Turing complete before.

not having a RH account, can you trade there on leverage? I imagine if a huge number of retail traders are ending up leveraged to high hell, RH may have ended up in an uncanny financial position because of this.

Not really... Psychology does this all the time. Outcomes can be described as distributions as much as they can binaries. It just takes a change in mindset.

I read the book last year and found it really interesting. That being said, it is still a biography about a person by people not in his field of expertise. It's a narrative about the person not the technology. In concert with 'the

I worked in an Intel Fab for a couple years. I walked out the door of Intel one day in 2011 (longer and irrelevant story). Within a week I had a job offer in hand from a competitor for over 2x the money.

My partner and I were talking about this and honestly wondered if there had been either a mistake in reporting or a mistake in the actual process. The input of Thiel made it more clear.
