Not sure about that, think about the case of (Bayesian) logistic regression.

Ah, interesting link. I think I ran into some confusion since 'rational' and 'Bayesian' are somewhat overloaded terms. When I think of Bayesian analysis, I always think of Bayesian models which attempt to model uncertain

Nate Silver's business' reputation (538) is predicated on making accurate predictions. He certainly has "skin in the game." In fact, perhaps his entire livelihood.

Curious about this. > It's how you can prove all non-Bayesian models are irrational Can you expand or link? > Error bars and spreads are already outside the Bayesian paradigm, which demands a single number Not following at all. W

Homelessness and mental health issues leading to homelessness aren't really an issue the police can address alone. Housing is indeed a big part of the problem; other cities (New Orleans for example) have had excellent results relocatin

They designed it precisely like this because it's a dated design. To use two sensors (or three) would have required new cockpit components and new pilot training, which is what they were trying to avoid by reusing the same Type certifi

This is a good and comprehensive article. You and the grandparent comment are focusing on one minor component and using it to raise FUD about the rest of the article and indeed the entire NYT now. It's a lazy form of debate. HN used to

Sorry you had a rough time getting information from your doctors. > I don't get the impression that anyone in the medical community is trying to change this. This is, in my experience, completely wrong.

Wonderful article. This is a not-uncommon situation in end of life care. It's difficult for a family to accept a tragedy like this, a loved young woman dying in the prime of her life from something untreatable. The families often are i

Awesome article, thank you for writing it. This is very off-topic, but how do you like the 2008 S Class? Are there reviews of it from a 2019 perspective anywhere?

I think the Jaguar competes price-wise more with the Model S and X then Model 3. Since he/she bought it instead of a Tesla, parent does correspond to headline.

Because of the frequency I see undecipherable strings like this in actual Perl code, I don't like Perl the programming language. However, I love Perl the project. Take a look at the config file for Perl and how many systems and archite

"use other data to fly their planes" What does this mean? Pure PR spin? Isn't MCAS a mandatory system?

They are raising FUD about the research. One of the guys has a PhD in medical psychology and appears to be a right wing nut. There is a nice quote in the article: "It's kind of like the same issues that came up with tobacco denial

This is actually an interesting calculation. I'm not sure how I'd do it. We'd have to figure out what percentage of US defense funding goes toward NATO or NATO members specifically.

NATO is definitely serving Western European interest. NATO is probably the major reason there has not been a land war against NATO members since WW2. Since the 1950s the Belgian military policy has been that it will do whatever is required

F-35 is far more capable than the Gripen and only costs around twice as much. In a war with Russia, there is no amount of fighter planes that would keep Denmark safe. Russia has nuclear weapons. Denmark is just too small to do it without th
