The death count outside of China is only 1. The 0.3 percent outside of China is not a robust number.

OK. I just used the Deaths / ( deaths + recoveries ) formula: Hubei province: 780/2219 = 35.1% Other provinces combined: 32/1256 = 2.5% So Hubei has 14 times of death rate as other provinces combined.

I agree that Hubei province is the epicenter so we would expect higher death rate. But don't know whether 9 times high is reasonable. Also, the same reasoning would conclude that China's death count in SARS in definitely fake.

Great work. But I don't see "deaths / recoveries" or "deaths / (deaths + recoveries)" on your webpage.

I have serious doubt on the death count. According to the numbers I got from https://news.qq.com/zt2020/page/feiyan.htm now: Death rate in Hubei province is 780/27100 = 2.88% Death rate in all the other provi

After reading the story, I feel the main point is not about immigration enforcement. The main point here is that the government agencies bought anonymized marketing data and used them for law enforcement purpose. On the one hand I do feel t

The 2016 poll was not off, what was wrong is the prediction models which did not take account of electoral college sufficiently. Poll and prediction are two very different things.

It is true that regular practice can easily put you on very high percentile among participants. So it is easy to be on 95% in one or two things. On the other hand, for the same reason, it is very hard to be on 95% in multiple things at the

There are people thinking all need to be done is just "fix the system" and then people who were making efforts will be selected.

Searching for job in a different country, moving to another country for the job, these are by definition ambitious.

Not really encouraging. You can't make parents more ambitious and effortful. This is basically saying personal efforts matter. I believe this is not most upward mobility advocators want to hear.

This way of interpreting the data is misleading. For population, it still could mean nothing. People are not living in an isolated environment just eating red meat or processed food and do nothing else. At the population level there are way

You don't even need to edit the picture. All you need is just pick the right picture. Just pick a few pictures where A1 was holding A2's hand, and where B1 was not holding B2's hand. Now you have a story.

Mac or laptop seems to be a good reason for this service, but I am not sure about its value for a PC desktop. $5 / month for 2 years is $120. I can get an OK graphic card to play game on my PC with this price.
