If the decision maker chimes in, it'll be clear immediately how they feel about the topic. This would ruin the entire point of the game, which is to guess how the decision maker feels after the 60 second discussion. I would say the poi

I think the explanation is quite clear. It's also a game that I know me and my friends would enjoy. I've subscribed; thanks for sharing.

I would think that the reader should make their decision after the discussion but before others make their choices. If the reader chooses Agree / Disagree before the discussion, the discussion is a moot point; might as well skip it

I'm ashamed that I never knew about pinned tabs. Thanks for this. It's nice because I only get notifications on issues to my email, and I ignore my email until the end of the day. But I like to be notified of issues immediately.

I was addressing the "verifying it's a Poisson process" part of their comment. Verifying that the process was homogenous involved analyzing the historical data. I didn't include it in the writeup, but that was done with

Those are good points. The event in question is not a simple user visit, however. Let's say it's a particular user action that's a bit more involved, e.g. filling out a form. The assumption here is that users fill out this fo

It's not from the server logs that I would verify this is a Poisson process; it's from the intuitive understanding that these events occur independently from each other and at a constant, known rate. This process also possesses th

At one point the article claims he fell into the canal, then a couple sentences later says he jumped in willingly. Which is it?

Right. I understand those advantages. I was curious about the comparison of input parameters specifically.

I've been using GitHub pages for a while now and I always wondered why they had the "your site may not be available for another 30 minutes" message on creating a new GitHub pages site while pushes to an already-existing gh-pa

Nice. I like the visualizations. I don't understand the author's reasoning for preferring mean shift over k-means due to k-means needing the number of clusters as an input. It seems that in mean shift, choosing the kernel bandwidt

Of course your points are valid. Perhaps I should have put this into context. The matrix given as the main example was assigned to me as a homework problem in an undergraduate optimization class. I decided to solve it using a graph and want
