Yes. The driver is invariably the most important variable.

In my experience, since getting a replacement vehicle is challenging, deductibles are crushing, and increased insurance costs are debilitating, the poorer you are, the more careful you are driving your car.

That suggests to me you're disproportionately likely to avoid getting into accidents.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your poor friends and relatives keep their cars in service for a long time.

The brands are proxies for the buyers, so it's biased only if you think the manufacturing of the car is the culprit. Pontiac, Mercury & Saturn are more likely to be driven by older drivers or at least people who keep their cars in

Yeah, but even three copies of stuff digitally is cheaper to maintain because we can back the data so much denser, and replicating it to newer media is so much faster.

As per the point of the author though... tell me that platform/infra/devops/SRE is any different in this regard? The stuff I have to do to keep people from eating infrastructure crayons...

The motive is clear, but consequence is that we deliberately choose juries that are fully Dunning-Kreugered. They have to rely on social cues as such to reason about which expert witness is credible... which pretty much undermines the justi

by cbsmith 3y ago
Yup. I don't think the problem is the jury, or even the experts. There's a fundamental problem with how the courts use expert testimony to ensure fair justice. I believe the idea is that to ensure fairness, verdicts should not be

I'm guessing it's leftovers from their whole "reimburse websites via crypto" strategy.

In fairness, it's more a case of companies incorrectly identifying their problem as a "big data" problem, usually due to ego or resume padding. If you genuinely have a "big data" problem, you probably do need distri

Having little capital allows for a great deal of growth in wealth. If you're total wealth is $1, assuming you've got an income, if you find a way to shave ~50 miles off your driving, you're going to see triple digit growth in

Exactly. It's easy to presume one interpretation, but it's far from clear.

by cbsmith 3y ago
Fair, but it raises the question of the motives behind it. It would seem they didn't necessarily have a problem with the research, but rather with the lead researcher. There's complicated issues of academic freedom to parse here,

A month with an a2-ultragpu-8g is going to cost you ~$6400/month or about $36.92. Where are you getting half price?
