The US has some clear laws against government controlling speech and, in the abstract, that makes it pretty much impossible to censor games. Various factions - exactly who it is difficult to pin down - have been working hard to set up a sys

Figma is a web app. Web apps are fundamentally a hyper-competitive market because literally anyone can just throw something up on the internet if they think there is a need for it. The risk here of Adobe overcharging for it is rather low -

I can't really call it a conclusion, I just don't know if the residuals are assumed to have a mean of 0 in their model or having a mean of 0 is simply standard practice. Alternatively if you mean the appearance of bias, you can pl

As far as I'm aware no statisticians have been fired and no suggestion has been made that they should be. McEntarfer is pretty high up in the food chain; she's there to be accountable for performance, not to crunch numbers.

McEntarfer [0] had only been commissioner for around 18 months. The performance of the BLS in 1979 probably isn't reflective of her skills and talents. And I'm not going to bother digging through the manuals to figure out how the
