Aren't the reddit demographics, like O'Reilly, 'richer, whiter, older'? (also kinda racist and sexist, so that's more points of convergence).

The stuff coming out of those computer algebra things is not always exactly the form you want to be stuffing in your code. Working it out manually focuses the mind.

Reddit is great if you're looking for a place for: * Mens Rights Advocacy * Bitcoin chat * Creepshots * Jailbait creepshots

I haven't been a regular perl programmer for coming up on 10 years now (switched to python), but I still miss the easy regexes, and I'll pull it out when I have to do awk/sed like things.

Need to keep that resume up to date for when she finally musters up the gumption to dump his MRA ass.

From: "If we see that 1000 of the 10,000 random iterations had a difference of more than $1.50, we can say that there is a 10% chance that our $1.50 observed difference was due to randomness."

I'm wondering if maybe you're doing way too many simulations in the calibration, do you really need more than a few hundred to a thousand or so? The 0.1 quantile is reasonably well separated from 0, and I would have expected you'd get "good enough" convergence pretty quickly.

Also: "we can compare our computed p-value of 11% to our simulated 10% result to determine whether or not the model is accurate enough." you're getting a full pdf out of the simulations, are you also comparing to the full distribution of your test statistics?

I remember huge fights on mid-90s usenet about Apple's anti-open source practices, up to and including Stallman trying to prevent FSF code from being ported to System Whatever, it was so bad. (But I'm not going to go digging through 20 year old gnu.misc.discuss flamewars)

"""Who can take a look at the deflationary nature of land, and think "gee, I'd like everything to be like this!""""

People who think they're going to come out on the long end of the stick.

Maybe if the Big Three had designed cars people actually wanted to buy, history would have been different.
