Is 'immortal time bias' not 'survivorship bias'?

The best ranking high school in my area (south of the Netherlands) works more or less like this (I don't think all attendance is fully at will). There is a lot of innovation going on in this space, even those who were in high schools j

Time to raise up against The Man who is holding you down, my friend.

What Joe Random would call them isn't so interesting, but the legal question is (can be, I haven't had my coffee yet...)

by roel_v 8y ago
Well the question is interesting when you look at the legal aspect instead of the 'I feel' aspect. If he deliberately refuses to play with some people based on a protected trait, it might be illegal. This seems like a much less cl

That countries within the EU should be within the same timezone when they're on the same longitude, duh. Imagine West- and Southern Europe all having different choices on whether they observe DST and when it starts... Sure there are ma

Right,because when I go shopping in another country 1p minutes from here, I want to have to worry about what time zone they're in... Like in Queensland/NSW, that's just silly there.

"but was manufactured without any pattern-welding." How do we know? I see this claimed a lot by those into the mystique of Damascus, but if we don't know how they were made as you claim, then how do you know they're not

If someone wants to know the exact time, they don't get a mechanical watch. Everything else is post hoc justification.

But why? The hypothetical people who would actually fight with such things today don't care about how it looks. Go to a gun show or AR15 enthusiast forum and compare how those guns look with those that people in the military or SWAT te

"We just have a lot more land, lot more culture" LOL. You know the difference between America and yoghurt, right?

by roel_v 8y ago
All of that save the language is true for the EU as well.

by roel_v 8y ago
You don't need a passport (as a European) to travel within the EU either.

Because all keys are printed, build quality (I have an Ergodox EZ and it's ok but not like the UHK), the palm rests are attached, the tenting works better, I like having a proper graphical config tool. I think those are the main ones b

Yeah I pretty much agree with that whole review. The microswitch buttons are stupid.

by roel_v 8y ago
I've had mine for about 2 months now. I like it better than my Ergodox, but it's not perfect (yet). Maybe I need to train muscle memory more still, but I'm looking forward to the extra modules shipping for having extra thumb

Daughters are teenagers, there's a pic in the article. If her predicament is because of student loans she had to take out to get this job, then the problem is really 'degrees are too expensive', and not 'teachers don&#x2

Yes, I even understood the feeling you were conveying the first time around, because I think every last one of us reading this has it - but it also felt so familiar to read your 'solution' to the dilemma. 'Hmm I hate sitting

Man I hate these with a passion. I always forget one thing or so, and then every now and then you're selected for a random check, and you feel like a common thief and have to do the walk of shame to the actual register for re-scanning

But is it? Being an actuary at a big 4 consultancy would expose you to the same stresses and resultant lifestyle than others at such a firm, I'd imagine (although I don't know anyone who is actually an actuary, just extrapolating

Does Karen have 36 hour work days? It's either that, or she should prefix every thing she did with 'dabbled a bit in ...'.

"Manual labor, personally, is appealing after a week of desk work in front of a computer" "It's one of the reasons I added philosophy as another major" Couldn't help but LOL at that juxtaposition, sorry :)

But was he an actual farmer, or just semi-retired to a farm house and got to play farmer? Quite a difference.

Not sure if gp is native English speaker, but there are several languages where 'perpendicular' is used in this way.

"Just" a matter of distilling it? Have you ever looked at the sheer amount of water entering and leaving a water cleaning plant? It's not a matter of having the technology, but of doing it at scale.

by roel_v 8y ago
I can't tell if you mean 'rich people' or 'poor people' by that, because depending on how you look at it, I could argue both. But doesn't that mean that everyone is at fault?

Not sure - some tools can make you do things you couldn't before, or do them better. There is no way to simulate high temp/steam/low temp cycles without a programmable steam oven, and some types of joints are near impossible
