If you see the results, you can also find negative correlation between stroke and the density of the western restaurants (french/italian or fast foods). What conclusions can you draw out of that? I'd probably just think this is ju

What about two? The probability would be much lower when IID is assumed?

Literally speaking, I don't know what is not true about my statement above. But your point is well taken; it is also applicable to this article as well: maybe Go is not the game people can beat machines, but StarCraft 6 could be. Or ma

Before cars, there were horses. We humans are well aware of the fact that our physical ability is not our competitive edge. What about Go? No animal or machine could play it as well as humans do.. until AlphaGo came along. I think that is w

Does anyone know what led him to be such a productive engineer? I would love to hear about his design principles and his routines.

As a South Korean, I think most of the things described here are not exactly true, but I might be wrong. Could you provide any source? AFAIK the history of Korean educational system is the history of Hakwon superiority in adapting to new ru

Neither. It is just a rarity.

Given that your symptom is related to hydration, I wonder if the pain could be related to kidney stones. An internet search gives me an article that says the pain location may move as the stones move around: https://www.healthlin

Could the collected DNS info be used for their own proprietary investment? I was reading a book about Koch industries and it made me think about the potential that most of the infrastructure companies could have outsized profit out of the d

Suppose a narrow field where only two human beings can understand. How could the society judge the progress of the field or the merit of a new project? I don't think it is possible to avoid collusion or groupthink in such a field and i

I was answering to the comment (paywalled by the article), and I believe a few companies do hold onto the cash when they see the opportunity, but probably not many would have the gut or the data.

Or, when a better investment opportunity is on the horizon. If an economic recession serious enough to affect good companies is looming, and if some savvy people with capital know it coming by the data or instinct, they might hold off their

The one who fails later could get the market share and monopolistic power. The void will be filled as soon as it gets created. That is how the market economy normally works.

Do you think this is an important enough issue for a Senate hearing or a bill? I honestly do not.

by nemonemo 7y ago
I have suspicion that these politicians know what they are doing and they are doing these stupid things with the fullest knowledge that the bill does not help the addicted people. Also probably they know these things don't even threate

"Health" is a loosely defined word and there are many goals and metrics. We can definitely study some metrics of "health" and study them with high confidence if the goal is well defined and it can be monitored with fine

I'd say the dividing line is how much control you have. If there is short burst of stress for the amount of work you are sure to be capable of, the stress is nothing. The problem is with the duration and the uncertainty. There is also

US median household income is about $60k, which is stagnant for about 15 years despite GDP growth [1]. The median listed housing price has increased by ~50% for the same time[2]. What could a good financial management education teach with t

I agree with your general points: this article over-emphasizes negative aspects of a few people and the picture it paints is not representative of overall planned cities, even Songdo. Just one nit: 4855:1 came from an article in 2007 about

The boundary between drugs and non-drugs is murky. Even refined salt, sugar, and flour could be classified as "drugs" -- your brain gets affected by them, potentially permanently, and they are hardly natural -- and even less peopl

This is a great natural wonder. Thank you. It also invalidates my logic. Maybe there could be some vector with biannual periodicity.

Is there any geographical clustering? The article mentioned Colorado GBS cases, but I could not find any mentioning of AFM one. If this happens mostly during the hot season and some insect vectors are suspected, I'd expect to see some

Even if such insect exists, they would have alternating two groups that would appear like annual, like cicadas.

I think curiosity implies intellectual humility but the converse is not necessarily true.

What if the plan includes expanding to new markets, say China or Europe or even West coast? When I used Peloton in a hotel at late night pacific time, it did not have anything live going on until 2am or something. That made it less attracti

A close cousin of this topic would be the background of new full professors in major universities. Ph.D. is risky, especially considering the slim chance of getting the full professorship and its tremendous opportunity cost. The competition

They do like each other. Koreans love Japanese food and many Japanese also like Korean food. They watch TV shows from each other. Many TV shows are often just translated versions from the other country. It's actually the politicians wh
