What a thorough and interesting review. I was wondering why all the attention is placed on the locks and have been thinking that, a la many apartment buildings in cities with their buzz-in door locks, why not approach the "smart lock&q

I had a similar experience 7 or 8 years ago, except that I was working for a small company and doing both the recruiting and the interviewing. I would screen a person by phone, and they would pass a basic screen. Then the person would come

To use hypothesis testing, you first have to declare the null hypothesis and, in statistics, decide on a model by which you will test the null. In this case, can you state what the null hypothesis is and the model? It's unclear to me.

You are correct: the way these mathematical creatures work, plausibilities behave like probabilties. What tjradcliife is trying to do, by differentiating between plausibilities and probabilities is to address the concern of frequentism with

I went to graduate school at a state school and at an Ivy League school, and my twin went to an Ivy League school for college while I went to a prestigious non-Ivy League school. So I will try to answer your questions based on my experience

+1 to this idea. Organizing photos, I would like to impart date taken, location, and context (e.g., 2014-04-29; San Francisco, CA (or geolocation); "California trip"). And I'm sure other people would love other types of metad

DavidAdams has a good explanation of why the Obamacare premiums will be higher than the one you are currently paying. One thing that Obamacare is supposed to do, and it seems that it has done this in general, is make sure that the insurance

I'm going to take your post at face value. But I once was an Aetna employee several years ago, with very similar personal and insurance plan attributes as those listed in your first four bullets, but my premium was quite a bit more exp

This article demonstrates the difficulty of animal science and neurological science. How much can we infer from brain scans from creatures whose ability to communicate with humans is quite limited? Through my experience as a dog owner (er,

As a trained (and hopefully ethical) statistician, I agree with the interpretation that Dr. Harkonen did mis-represent the results of the trial. This article does a pretty good job describing the controversy to a layperson audience, but I d

My parents are from Taiwan, I was born in the U.S. I have reflected on this topic, and my thought was that South Asians, due to British colonization, appear to adapt more easily to American culture. Comparing immigrant parents from South an

This is a common MISUNDERSTANDING, unfortunately. The insurance in the exchanges is still "run" by HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES. Where government enters is: (1) To allow people to compare apples to apples by having, in the exchange,

Wish it described how it quantified fame. Looking at Texas and seeing "Dr. Pepper" instead of "ExxonMobil". Second rate soft drink brand trumps one of the top ten companies in the entire world in market cap and revenue?

I am skeptical of Soylent, but I also think that interesting ideas-- backed by at least some science-- are worth examining. That being said, health claims such as the ones you cite-- "it automatically puts you at an optimal weight, makes yo
