I read the original interview and his comment seemed tongue-in-cheek and aware that it would court needless attention. I don't feel it warrants this level of scrutiny.

Controlling swearing is also part of British culture so it's unfair to lay the blame on Americans.

Yes, you might as well complain that you never asked to be born.

I guess more than just saying "this is bunkum" - I'm talking about examining the evidence and analytical techniques on both sides and engaging in debate rather than shutting the other side down, etc. Just citing stuff is a su

The point is that in society the ratio of men to women is 50/50. I'd also argue achieving that is a reasonable aim in female-dominated jobs, such as some teaching jobs.

He's saying that discussing a scientific theory requires more than just "my opinion is that it's all bunkum."

Well, because it's the best scientific explanation we have. You're not actually debating, just complaining.

I think he means the people who misled voters, rather than the voters themselves. Edit: I think you're right about reaching out, btw.

There's also the argument that wanting to reproduce is a natural human urge, and you're asking people to go against a very key biological instinct. We haven't done all we can to protect the environment. We haven't even t

Maybe the lack of performance reviews and lack of motivation are probably causatively linked to a wider, underlying issue?

I think what you're doing is a great exercise, culturally, but I wouldn't use it to assess anyone's performance objectively. What happens if you have a great employee who finds it difficult to articulate on these points? Woul

A lot of online engagement data looks like a power law distribution on large platforms. The mean (obviously) has huge variance. Say you have multiple metrics per user like this. You can still apply k-means but the huge variance makes it ra

What about data that generally follows something more like a power law distribution? How would you cluster that?

Marketing is the top of the funnel. He's not talking about a hard sales function but actually the process from attracting someone to closing the sale (e.g. clicking 'buy').

It would seem more expensive to police this adequately, prosecute, collect the fines, etc. I'm not sure your plan could ever have ROI. That's forgetting the impact on the life of people who actually live there in the short term.

Great comment. You need only Google "vinyl only 2016" or any other year to see how relatively common this is.

Logically speaking, surely we need your wife's (honest) opinion on your approach here?

Yes, but are these any simpler than most written discussions of the same topics, in things like essays? It seems that the once they're codified in some kind of mathematical model then we can see the shortcomings right away, whereas an

I've seen more than a handful of presumably right-wing commentators on Reddit of late arguing that the Nazis were actually socialists or 'communists' rather than a right-wing group. The ensuing (typically unresolved) argument

You're misusing the word fascist. You probably mean something more like 'hard-liners' or 'extremist'.

We tend to play ambient dub techno mixes through speakers in our small office. Even guests who said they didn't like the idea of it initially said it worked well for them once they were working. Here are some examples: https:/&#x

I can't find a link to the original paper but it would be good to check the details of the analysis. Firstly, they'd have to take care doing comparisons between the 4 different groups - it's not enough just to do multiple-com

I might be wrong, but I had a look at the original paper's methods and the experimental process seems to be based around producing many p-values and then trawling looking for significance. They don't seem to correct for multiple-t

It's sad that you're being downvoted for a reasonable and factually-based comment. This isn't reddit, folks.
