Those sound like easy variables to control when you're trying to determine which sex is more affected.

I don't think the slope of the line is damning but if there are outliers that throw the slope that much off, that may be a sign there's not enough data. Also if you change the slope the effect size diminishes because the left side

Care to explain what hidden variable differentiates people born before vs after this exact date?

They only measured response for the next three days. Is it possible k has an effect for longer than three days while placebo only lasts three days or so?

I'm losing the train of thought here. Smart people are the ones least likely to be able to defend themselves? I think it's enough to say that it harms some people (ESL) more than others and leave it at that.

I mean also Tesla fsd is a sham. Cruise, Waymo etc don't make headlines like that

I mean Tesla and Waymo are hardly similar, just like failing to proceed past an orange cone is very different from putting someone's like at risk.

I was expecting it to be something more interesting given that it took 2 days

Can't believe there's someone arguing against more regulation after this shit show.

It's not, like, a big secret that the principal of long dated treasuries fluctuates more when rates move. The thing is that banks don't look at these as something with a market value. Instead it's an instrument that guarantee

SVB initiated its own bank run by selling securities at a loss and announcing a capital raise. Also they did all sorts of dumb stuff like selling their interest rate hedges in early 2022 because they were worried the hedges would impair p

Why don't cars come with these by default yet? I have two backup cameras on a 7 year old entry level Honda but no integrated dashcam.

To conserve storage space, your recordings are automatically deleted after three days unless you save them.

Well, for starters, zero seems like an important point, as in if it's risk free then it's qualitatively different from something that has risk. Even govt bonds have risk because although they have a predefined payout, their market

I would say humans are pretty good at pattern matching, and thinking of my brain as a "statistical engine" has a lot of intuitive appeal. We are always piecing together an understanding of a scene based on imperfect data.

If that bit is a literal bit, there will be an extension that just sets that bit, thereby bypassing ads when you didn't actually pay a subscription. If that bit is some sort of encoded identifier that an extension couldn't generat

Except an MMF is literally not an investment. It's a form of savings. There's nothing invalid about saving. However whether you want to invest or save has very little to do with "circumstances" and everything to do with

I swear, people will distort reality any way they can to make themselves victims of this.

If a branch was profitable before, it's no less profitable to keep it open now.
441.
by bagacrap 3y ago
I mean a MMF is not really an investment. It's a place to park your cash when you don't want to invest. Obviously other investments are riskier in the short term, but there's less risk long term in that you aren't guaran

Yes, in general banks that survive will make more money due to higher interest income.

Shareholders of SVB are getting nothing. Also jpm is generally coming out ahead on this because they bought FRC on discount and because of the increased amount of deposits.

Why not yt premium? The added benefit of paying is that you won't see ads on your phone or TV.

If the developer's extension store account were compromised or sold, they'd push an update to you that stole your data before you could react.

Definitely Google is better off serving exactly the ads a user will click, including no ads for the user who will never ever click any ad, even one from their favorite sneaker brand. But I think a lot fewer people are actually in the never

But the context of this discussion is whether you should be allowed to watch YouTube without any ads. So that's a baseline of zero money per view.

Well that was anticlimactic

Well, yes it clearly deserves a little more money each time it renders a valuable service at nonzero operational cost. Duh.

Huh? How will they know whether to set that bit if they don't know who you are?
