The "H-1B Approval Rate" chart has two problems with the y-axis: 1) the 75 and 100 grid lines should display and marked, 2) it is misleading by setting the y-axis range at 75 to 100. Because it gives reader an impression that appr

I am not sure how to respond to this troll. He/She literally created the account to just make this very weird comment.

Of course Xi stopped Pooh Bear jokes in public space in mainland China. I am not sure what you are talking about. CPP police always know the small towns of the most robocall farms and phonescam bases. The reason they do not stop those is be

I think you gave too much benefit of doubt to the CCP. The CCP can't care less about phone scams and frauds. As a totalitarian state having total control of the society, the government can track down the scammers anytime they want to.

Yes. Eventually this will be the only final solution.

> IMO, the best way to avoid issues like this would be to ban private schools, and make sure all schools have the same amount of funding per student. Funny you forgot students still get different education resources from home. When schoo

It appears to be an important research study, but in the sense of implication to educational policy, not so much. The reason is, for one, the use of value-added measurement does not have a significant role as many would think. There is not

On average, it would be true, meaning most teachers do not have significantly different effect on most students. However, there are always particularly good and bad teachers.

What do you mean? Zero original point does not work with negative data?

by datashow 7y ago
I agree you may give a valid exception (I don't know the field), it may represent a large field. But I still think broadly speaking it is uncommon, but I don't have data to back it up.

Most charting packages have a terrible default: set y axis original point around y min, which is rarely appropriate in data visualization. In my opinion, the default should always be zero. Another one is bars in bar/column charts are h

Line charts and area charts are not good when there are more than 5 series. The race chart can display 20 bars (more series can get in and out at any time), and you have a choice to focus on the top 5 bars, or one specific bar, or comparing

Yes, you see surge of returns at the moment. But I would expect there will be a dramatic increase of overdues as a terrible long term effect.

It's not just investment. High level experts do not care much about "human nature" as average persons do, it is also part of "human nature". Also disrespect goes both ways. For many people, using "mean words&qu

Or, the meaner a message is, the more likely is to be said by someone who cares about subject matter way more than "human nature".

So which diet is OK to be claimed as unhealthy without being considered as confrontational? Maybe published on academica journals is the only way to do it? But again, if you recommend a journal article about how beef is unhealthy to a beef-

What if my project involves processing lots of data files (not databases), do I also need to move data files to the cloud? For example, if my project needs to process thousands of csv and xls files, will I be able to do everything in the cl

What if a moderator is a H1B or F1 holder, or any other foreign nationals who are not authorized to work for SE? Will they have to quit being a moderator immediately? Accepting payment from SE would definitely be violating immigration laws.

"How popular is biking in New York" You can have a sense of it by checking with Google Maps street view on different places in Manhattan. It seems that there are way more cars and pedestrians than bike riders in most places.

"Social Psychology has one of the worst reproducibility problems in all of academia." Not to be defending social psychology in any way, but I have to point out this assessment is seriously misled. Social psychology gets bad impres
