Excellent. Please state the sample size, population size, and citation of studies that have experimentally validated this method cross-culturally and for the specific unique cultural group of ranchers in north-eastern South Africa, who have

Your belief this method is scientific, valid, validated cross-culturally and for different forms of questioning shows that it is you who are the "layman", assuming by "layman" you mean person ignorant of science, gullible, and clueless.

You can't successfully gauge it when you don't know the real numbers to begin with in order to validate if your method is working.

"can't make decent payments as salaries" Conversation doesn't really need to go beyond this point. It's like asking "Should my woman cook and clean for me even though I beat her each day?" Really, the cooking and cleaning is not the issue i

The problem, which is obvious to anyone but a researcher with strong bias, is that 19% of all people have obviously NOT killed a leopard in the last 12 months and therefore this questioning method does not work.

It's a bit late to be wondering this at this point. A better question would be "What preparations did you make starting 10 years ago when you saw this year's events were inevitable." For me that answer is that it's been a lot of things. Amo

That's very interesting, thanks for showing a typical example. They state they require verifiable 3.5 x income to rent ratio. This means you must make at least $2395 x 3.5 x 12 = $100,590 in order to be allowed to rent this dinky old 1 bedr

He's not a drama queen. The people saying so are the VCs upset after he posted about their secret conspiracy meetings, which they denied, and it all was true. The VC community has it in for him since then and will do anything to attack the

I agree completely that Jacques is putting her on trial. His claims he is not are about as disingenuous and manipulative as if someone said "Nobody here is claiming that Jacques is a 'cat rapist', but when you go public with a story there w

The victim also shouldn't be stalked or contacted by investors in the company that has already intimidated her and whose gross negligence hampered a speedy resolution to the crimes that were committed against her.

I think there is a pretty good legal argument that they had a duty to know the actual identity of each party. They failed to do that. When her house was trashed the first thing she did is ask them the real identity of the person who rented

I like the graph myself (it was snagged from someone's flickr account according to the credits). The second section does show the average salaries for various positions in and out of the Valley, and the third position shows that those Valle

What a weird article. He says companies are desperate to hire talent (not true) and then gives three examples of perks, the first two of which are prostitution and gambling, both of which are done as one-off events, and neither of which are

I would too. The person had been playing psychological games with her via email. This is not some teenager stealing a TV, this is a psychopath that plays long games with the victim the way a cat plays with a mouse before mauling and eating

I agree with you that is a smart approach. I think the reason they don't do anything to really fix it rather than lip service and lawyer wrangling and dirty PR tricks is they are afraid of setting a precedent. However, they should have thou

I agree with your general sentiment, but as far as visiting the house that is a very bad idea unless they are specifically invited by EJ. Otherwise they could get accused of not believing that the damage really occurred and checking up on h

You know, I assumed that much of what she said was a misinterpretation of events based on emotional stress like you say since their public face was completely different from the aggressive stance they (at least one of them) were taking in p

The deal with this is that I am an environmentalist in the traditional sense. I have an extremely low "carbon footprint" but not because I believe in the Goldman Sachs propaganda of doom. However, far less that 5% of "Environmentalists" I

That's extremely interesting. When the victim EJ posted (was it Thursday?) about being intimidated and lied to by Airbnb, it was obviously very different from what they were saying publicly. I figured though she is very very upset about eve

Wow, thanks, I didn't realize he even had the money but the issue was that he wanted to buy the land without drilling on it and that was enough to got to prison for two years. That is pretty amazing.

How often does someone get sent to prison for 2 years because they bid at an auction more than they could afford to pay at the moment they made the bid? Is it very common to prosecute this in a criminal trial, or is this completely unheard

I agree, it sounds like they have vineyards that overlook the southern pacific ocean. Now if that was in the US, something called "Vina del Mar" would be McMansion tract housing built on salt flats in Nevada next to a nuclear waste disposal

Too short an article. That particular quote was called out and discussed here when the Khan Academy article was discussed previously. It's a certain mindset that thinks this way. It reminds me of another discussion here where some people an

I agree. Very interesting that when you summarized it as "some students are trying to game the system by learning the subject in advance" I thought it was hyperbole. But reading the article, that is actually what they say. "Game the system.
