Economy of scale magic

I am actively avoiding calls and noone writes to me. If I were to give up a smartphone flip phone would be nearly useless to me

What? In US the right of way is decided by the trains, not infrastructure dispatchers? What you described sound like the freight trains just commonly run through the stop signal which is a BIG NO-NO.

Yea, Manifesto would be a better name

The disappointment would be Trump kicking the bucket before they can see the dildo of consequences and someone else taking the blame

In my country there is a party led by a guy famous mostly for putting out Hannukah candles in parliment using a fire extinguisher. His party is above the electoral threshold (5%) and he got 4th in presidential elections. Other parties think it is a good idea to try to appeal to his voters. I don’t have much hope left for… Anything related to politics

I mean… It s not like we don’t see history repeating itself right now with radicals gaining popularity and power using antisemitic tendencies of the voters. I don’t think last time it happened it ended so well for israel and they certainly aren’t helping themselves

No social media was created to manipulate people. (Most) social media is a business, optimised to make money. You make money by showing people ads. You can show more ads to people if they stay on the platform longer. You can make people stay longer by engaging them emotionally. End of conspiracy…

I believe above user was subtly referencing other causes for personnel vacancies like being greeted by Luigi’s of this world.

Very not city centre btw. When your apartment is closer to things you need than the distance between free parking spot and the shop in US the car becomes pretty useless

Do you have any idea how little it narrows it down?

You can assume a roughly 10-100x slowdown on pretty much everything. It also does not feature type safety, so while it is easier to code in it it is also easier to make mistakes. Other than that… Just a simple scripting language

This is such a shit argument.

US has comparable passenger railway service to Australia or worse while having metropolies with roughly the population of that entire country

aka: excuses

It is implied that it was made using comparing to a plaintext password sent back from server to the user’s browser to compare.

Umm… have you tried having a positive identity instead of negative? I believe it would do a lot for us if lemmy was percieved as a ‘community of smart people with interesting discussions’ instead of ‘not reddit’

Tool for comparing amazon

I believe you see the main issue with your experiences - the sample size. With small enough sample you can experience almost anything. Wisdom is knowing what you can and what you cant extrapolate to the entire population

This is the most unnecessary nerd comment I’ll ever make on this platform… but

I believe the bell curve wouldn’t represent the expected distribution in this case. I m not entirely sure what would be the correct distribution but I suspect Chi^2 or poisson.

This is not a good quality article from the point of statistics.

The main statistical claim is that OE fails 9% of the times on USMLE. If you want to form a reasonable conclusion from that you need to compare it to control. The control here would be the fail rate of an average doctor. Or to be frank maybe better control would be the fail rate of a bad doctor because if OE beats that then there is an arguement to be made that there are people who OE could help.

Passing grade os USMLE Clinical Knowledge exam is 214/300 and mean score is 246. Idk the specific scoring but if it is scored the usual way then I believe this article is overly dramatic
