You misunderstand: the overall trend of deaths around the globe due to armed conflict. About Europe, I said I wouldn't argue because I don't have the knowledge to assess those claims. Just saying what is usually acknowledged by hi

Not to argue one way or the other because I don't know. But I think that the overall trend comes from way before American military hegemony. And the European Community-now-Union is usually acknowledged by historians for the peace in Eu

Confidence and ego are different things. Self-doubt can affect your play, as in any sport. Doesn't mean that you're butthurt.

Good luck asking Wikipedia what's the weather today, what's your first meeting in the morning, and which route of your commute has less traffic at the moment.

Probably because when treating it as continuous they only look for linear regression. When categorizing in buckets, they probably do an ANOVA. This technique posits that the average does vary per category exactly as measured, and asks the q

What I'm trying to say is that the number of cars on the road and miles driven aren't what matter to their autopilot learning, when compared to other self-driving companies. Most people use their car to go places comfortably, not

That's what happens when a city government doesn't protect what to private owners are externalities. The owners of the building couldn't care less, and the architect gets the benefit of free publicity.

That's what baffles me about this whole thing. Unless your roof is rectangular with homogeneous shadows, if you connect the shingles, say, in rows, you'll have unbalanced voltages. Is the plan to have a microinverter per row of sh
