Not once does the article state the expected error rate with the calculation. Even polls give an error rate when they are announced. Saying 29% decrease without having an idea of its accuracy is meaningless. This is simple science. We learn

There's only one jump: I don't trust the data, so I'm not yet concerned by this click-bait title. In this day of clickbait titles, studies that are not reproducible, and suspect motivation for studies, the idea that we can ca

Trying to estimate the population of birds in North America between now and 50 years ago seems like it would have an error rate of at least 29%. Are the counting and estimation mechanism even anywhere close to similar?

Thank you. This is an interesting idea. I will look to see if my area has something similar (SF Bay Area).

Thank you. I toyed with the idea of having him accelerated, but emotionally he is so immature that the older kids will very quickly, to be honest rightfully, ostracize him. I have noticed he does get along better with older kids, maybe beca

I'm struggling with this right now. My 7 year old child is "profoundly gifted" which is an IQ above 145 (he is almost 160). He is mostly a wonderful child and he is very very smart. He is well above his peers and is mostly sw

It's more the fact that the engineers working there should be embarrassed, not that it's important. You would think that the engineers there would be able to improve their infrastructure after a few years but it's still as fl

This is why I (currently) trust Apple, because they appear to care about privacy. I am not blinding myself to the possibility that this may change, but right now this is their selling poin tto me.

Yes, that's insufficient. I mean, what would Lyft look into? Would they call up the driver, and then ask if they clipped a car? And what if the driver said either yes or no? Then what should Lyft do? This is a civil matter between the

To be fair, you're just a witness. The right move was exactly what you did after, which is to give all the information to the owner of the damaged car. They can pursue things and you can be their witness. But just randomly calling Lyft

I have a friend who joined there last year. He said that the interview process wasn't very hard and they focused on communication. He also said that the engineers there aren't impressive but he likes his coworkers and the job is o

I had many ideas similar to yours before I had children. Like Mike Tyson said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." After having childre, you realize how sometimes you have to do things just to survive.

I agree, I heard the same thing about comic books and D&D. Except the problem these days is that algorithms are preying on human weaknesses and taking advantage of addictive characteristics. Things like video games and youtube videos ar

What exactly is "bored" though. I read the article and it wasn't clear. Are they just referring to digital devices, video games, etc? Or books and doing crafts etc? Because those probably have the same level of stimulation as

My friend who is the dad of teenagers told me that his son's friend was caught waking up at 3am every morning, playing Fortnite until 5am and then going back to sleep before his parents woke up. I ruined my college years playing video
