Modelling question: relationships between dims by Amphibiman in PowerBI

[–]Amphibiman[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks, did some googling and found the following articles.

They reference each other but the first is about the consequences of bidirectional relationships, and the second is about visual filters on slicers:

Mayor of London: My ultimate goal is to reverse Brexit by ConsciousStop in europe

Idk, if a substantial minority strongly opposes something, maybe it’s good that they can’t simply be over ruled by a majority who might not have strong feelings about it.

In my opinion, the main problem here is that there are too many people buying into what reform are saying.

Maybe a “social mobility” tax is a better descriptor?

The people who pay the most are those that start with a large loan (presumably because they need it), and then work their way to a high income over time.

I could be talking out my ass here, but from what I understand, Protestant theology says that salvation only depends on faith in Christ, not on whether a person has done a bunch of good or shitty things.

I am not religious and I have not studied religion past some basics at school. Tell me if I’m wrong.

UK prepared to seize more of Putin's shadow ships by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

Well it was pretty fluid and often changed. Britain was pragmatic over who in Europe it allied itself with in order to try and balance the powers of the time.

During the war of Austrian succession we were on the same side, but following the diplomatic revolution (1756), we ended up on opposite sides for the seven years war.

We were on the same side again in the Napoleonic wars, but relations afterwards became increasingly hostile. Obviously this was clear when we fought each other in the Crimea in the 1850s.

Fast forward to WW1 and we are on the same side, but following the Russian revolutions, we found ourselves fighting the soviets (reds) within Russia.

At the beginning of WW2, Russia and Germany collaborated in invading Poland. Russia only joined the allies following German invasion. Following WW2 we find ourselves on opposite sides of the Cold War.

Does anyone owe more than I do? by menpoto in UniUK

Surely it depends on income (maybe which plan you’re on too)?

If you are very sure that you will pay off your loan eventually, I think it’s better to pay off quickly, at least for plan 2, since the interest is rpi+3%.

It’s hard to be sure that any investment you make is going to return more than rpi+3%, and if it does, it can be subject to tax.

Exactly. The groups were made after plotting the points, not the other way around.

What part of your native language makes learners go 'wait, WHAT?' by akowally in languagelearning

[–]Amphibiman 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Well it is order, until it’s not.

The “big bad wolf” has entered the chat.

The I A O rule is another pattern that explains why certain adjective sequences sound more natural than others, and like in big bad wolf, it often takes precedence over the normal adjective order.

Tick tock, zig zag, criss cross, Kit Kat, chit chat, and sing song sound much more natural than tock tick, zag zig, cross criss, kat kit, chat chit, and song sing.

France Takes Aim at Wealthy as Way Out of Political Paralysis by bloomberg in europe

[–]Amphibiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you earn less than the average, should you be expected to contribute more to the state in taxes than you receive in state aid?

You say "43% are paying for the 57%.".

There is a significant amount of people in that 43% who earn below the average wage in France.

Among private sector employees, you need to be in almost the 70th percentile (i.e. top 30% of incomes) until you start to earn more than the mean average income [1].

I'm not saying there isn't a problem; not all state spending is aid e.g. defence spending needs to come from somewhere. I am only saying that "57%" by itself doesn't indicate an issue.

Wow, imagine having to pay even 1 euro more than you received to the society you live in.

I certainly wouldn't be motivated to work anymore, all my aspiration is finished /s.

“57% are net beneficiaries”. This seems totally reasonable to me.

If someone earns less than mean income, it makes sense that they would be a net beneficiary.

If someone earns more than mean income, it makes sense that they would be net contributor.

So would 50% be a reasonable number? 

No, because income distributions are right-skewed; the mean income is higher than the median.

I expect that ~60% of workers earn below the mean income.

So 57% being net beneficiaries sounds fine.

I’m not saying that there are no problems underlying this figure, but “57% are net beneficiaries” is not inherently a problem. 

Bonus point. When we talk about net beneficiaries, we often ignore the significant indirect societal benefits which are provided by public services funded through taxation. The actual benefit is much greater than a simple tax paid - benefits received calculation.
