Trust in the numbers is extremely important and we should all be calling out that we need to trust the numbers and the methodology. It should also be transparent. However, it's extremely common in forecasting to revise…
(reposting a version of my comment somewhere below) The BLS (USA) does adjust the numbers every month (for two months after the initial release) and annually. Regardless if the numbers go up or down, this is fairly…
Regardless of which administration is in place, the BLS (USA) does adjust the numbers every month (for two months after the initial release) and annually. This is fairly common with statistics and forecasting in…
I was just talking to younger coworkers about this recently. Mid-90s to early 2000s: FORTRAN, COBOL, C, and C++ classes all had handwritten code parts for homework, handouts, exams, etc. This wasn't just pseudocode, you…
This is an odd hot-take for an active globally invasive and life altering virus. That person has assessed their risk level and determined that their community's disregard for their personal risk, negatively impacts…
Just to hop on this, the standard is counter intuitive for rain probability. I'm annoyed, but also fascinated by how much it "makes sense" when I have read about it, but it also "makes no sense" when I just want to…
I have had problems with other non-Apple headphones (Bluetooth) as well as a headset with a dedicated dongle. Removing the MX products completely solved the problems with every other Bluetooth device I have.
To add on here: Same issues. Then it started impacting other items I had. In the beginning, I only had the MX (Mac Specific) mouse, and the problem did not happen very often. On occasion, but not too bad. After one of…
This is wonderful. I have been studying communities and food as a way to rebuild trust...this sums it all up nicely. I have been looking to start up a local "potluck" type idea --note: not my idea, many people do this…
To just add on here - voice control AND a stylus might be a nice combo (and another user below also mentioned this). I'm not an expert, been around tech for 30+ years...and I'm always fascinated with how people use it.…
Thank you for sharing! I know this exact arc very well and have referenced it a few times in my life (sent to friends, talked about it, etc). Death is not usually an easy topic, so when this arc is relevant, but maybe…
Correct! I forgot, there was a little nuance there. Thanks for posting that.
I cannot speak for other email providers, but my understanding for the past 10 years: this is a Google thing vs. Apple. Google both allows and ignores periods in emails. first.last@gmail.com is the SAME email address as…
There are a few of these out there. https://cofounderslab.com is one. When they first came out I lived in Chicago and used their site a few times. Totally reminded me of Match meets LinkedIn. (note: I have no…
The L0Pht crew produced some awesome tools as well. Anyone remember the Windows NT password decryption tool? You could do dictionary attacks or brute force (if you had the CPU power). I still have old versions of their…
While I apprecaite your passion...I think there is one thing worth mentioning about generalpf's post: they stated how someone informed them of something they had not known, they are openly stating they realize they were…
RE: visit and/or getting a chance to sit in Ditto on the added insight. It also produces a setting where you can ask different questions, on my mind right now are the ones that might have a historical reference.…
THIS. The problem lies with reporters lacking the basic econmic and statistical background to either report the news and/or challange others they are interviewing. We are often surrounded by "armchair specialists" who…
Ditto for me. "Above the fold" photos of severely/epic photoshopped boobs, etc. Scrolling a little further down I was greeted with photos of poop. Lots of them. I'll skip what there were photos of on the next page.…
Random event: I just walked by one of these (Grand Central-UN area) on my way to the library today and said "Wow. I wonder why I didn't hear about this before...or see it before?" So I started looking for other…
