Kudos if that's the case. An essay on soft skills is probably the most difficult genre to master for a non-native speaker, more so for a programmer. I'm ok with the piece, as long as there was effort involved and it's better

The way it's going: driver licenses, traffic laws, DUI tests, insurance, uninsured pilot protection etc. The big question is are the emerging sky laws in the U.S. going to federal or local?

Shouldn't they consider a staged approach, not unlike FDA trials. Start with a Laika dog, proceed with a chimp, as all other space programs have done in the past? Also, if this succeeds, what happens to Google's moonshot projects?

Good start, but I wonder if market research firms can produce 'solid' content on their blogs. Consider this article. Too fluffy, in my opinion: > DevOps, No Longer Just For “Unicorns” http://blogs.forrester.co

Thanks, that's a good resource. I'm surprised though. It seems that Top-1000 articles by monthly views are 90% about celebrities and movies. I think tags or categories would be most useful. https://wikimedia.org/ap

This would be non-trivial. Consider this paper on marijuana usage where the researchers had to group statistics by adjacent counties in Oregon and Washington in order to control the tests. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/p

By the way, here are two rape definitions used by the FBI: 'legacy' and 'revised': https://www.ucrdatatool.gov/offenses.cfm Made a difference to Brock Turner's case.

This is a really interesting topic. Rape, unlike other types of crime, suffers from reporting deficiencies, specifically many victims choose not to report it out of fear of social backlash. I wonder if this is playing any part in observed c

I recommend double checking reference tables in Wikipedia. It is conveniently displayed first in search results, however for Sweden: https://www.bra.se/download/18.358de3051533ffea5ea7f2cf/1459... > 305 Com

It's actually less than that for Sweden, namely 3.1 for the year of 2015: https://apps.axibase.com/chartlab/013dc374/2 . Top right chart.

Same stats prorated, cases per 100K population: https://apps.axibase.com/chartlab/013dc374/2/ Rape and sex offenses in general should be prorated by an age-filtered subset of the total male population.

The way the report emphasizes particular reference points makes it hard to read. It almost looks like they're cherry-picking particular dates. Regardless of the context in which we are discussing these counter-arguments, having raw sta
