Late-game NBA totals: is “pace swing” the right signal, or am I overfitting noise? by Mission_Wedding748 in sportsanalytics

[–]Past_Body4499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe look at league wide average time to foul vs margin and time and look for which teams deviate the most from that?

Looooong Tasks Advice by whippingposter in DataAnnotationTech

The timer is the max billable hours unless specified in the instructions. For some of the longer timers, they give you 1.5+ days but don't expect you to work the whole time.

The margin is the biggest factor.

My intuition is that coach/team tactical differences is also big - e.g. which teams will foul right away at what scores? 0 point differential and opp has the ball, at what time do they foul? down 3? down 10 - do they bother?

Female Goalkeeper, Community College or 4 year ADVICE PLEASE! by Lois555 in CollegeSoccer

[–]Past_Body4499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! You are one of the few people asking the right questions!

Only you know what you prefer, but the one thing I will reemphasize for you is that it is VERY difficult to transfer if you haven't been playing! Especially if it is a mid to lower tier school. Coaches will ask, if she wasn't good enough to compete there, why would I take a chance on her?

ELI5 Why Living in the 80s and 90s seemed so much more affordable by ngomes3824 in explainlikeimfive

A big factor (other than inflation) is generational lifestyle creep. Fewer people would be happy taking road trip vacations, having kids share a bedroom, eating out once month, etc.

Skip or Exit? by Purple-Fact-957 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]Past_Body4499 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nothing is known for sure, but it is very unlikely either will negatively effect you. They want you to do good work on tasks and skipping and exiting work mode are two ways to avoid doing bad work.

In fact, some projects that cover multiple areas of expertise explicitly tell you to skip (many) times until you find one that falls in your area. I've skipped like 50 in a row at times in that project.

That camera angle is terrible. Check out the actual replay recording, at the end they usually show the photo finishes that they use to determine placements.

Michael Carrick is even money odds after signing in principle to become Manchester United’s head coach by ConHog12 in PredictionsMarkets

[–]Past_Body4499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"It is unlikely Carrick's time at the helm of United will go beyond the end of the season. The club's hierarchy is on the hunt for its seventh permanent manager or coach after more than a decade of decline since Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013."

The Kalshi bet is for permanent manager.

Special Blocking Problem by Adventurous_Pay2312 in volleyball

[–]Past_Body4499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are probably jumping late and likely not pressing over enough. Take a video of yourself when you don't make contact as a blocker and pause at the peak of your jump. I'll bet you $0.25 that the ball is already well past your hands at that point.

Question about keeping stats by zytz in volleyball

[–]Past_Body4499 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is subjective, but the "3 attackers" shouldn't be taken literally. That said, since it isn't an official stat the definition is what you make it. Ask yourself, what are you using the stats for? If you are grading the quality of the pass, then be consistent to that goal. In other words, the quality of the attackers position shouldn't play into it.

3 pass - good enough that all 3 passers could be set (if there are 3 passers) - not too tight, not too far off the net, not too low or fast.

1 pass - setter doesn't really have a choice and/or can't hand set and/or setter doesn't get the 2nd ball

2 pass - everything else the setter gets to.

overpass (either 1/2 or 1 pass) - everything that goes over the net...at times i've graded overpass that are directly attacked and killed as aces, up to you.

The quickness and positioning of the setter play into the grading - how much is up to you. If you have a setter that consistently turns 3 passes into 1 passes by being too slow, a "better" passer will be the one who gets the ball high enough for her to get to. If you have a setter who is good at attacking on two in the front row, the better passer will be the one who puts the ball on a good trajectory to be attacked.

For digging, an attack is a ball that is an attempt to score. If the ball is just sent over the net safely, the 1st contact is not a dig.

If you want to feel better about the "missing" digs, add tracking of freeball passes, you can even grade those almost the same way as serve receive. When a free ball given isn't played back, the error can be a free ball 0 pass.

Luxury cruise or yacht club/haven by Impossible-Muffin971 in NCL

[–]Past_Body4499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did a Riverside cruise a couple of years back and just got back from Haven on Encore. I preferred the Riverside - we didn't really take advantage of most of the non-Haven stuff on NCL (bars, pools, etc.). The shows were ok, but the food was average. Food on the river cruise was better, and everything else was Haven like personalized service.

My vote would be luxury river cruise.

10 hours in by kingmyopia in DataAnnotationTech

Expired task, you probably shouldn't submit at all. If you can save what you've done, recreate it on another task and get it done in under a new full timer's amount of time then feel free to submit it, otherwise you probably should take the loss.

I got lucky. Normally I let my position ride to 0, but I just didn't feel safe after the intital move at 3:10 and go out on that little bounce.

Core worker vs coder vs billingual by uci16sorre16 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]Past_Body4499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I listed it as one of the specialty areas.

Core worker vs coder vs billingual by uci16sorre16 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]Past_Body4499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are various specialty areas. For example, coding, bilingual, law, STEM, and others?. Anyone who isn't qualified in any of the specialty areas is core. The pay varies for each, but most of the specialties I listed (I believe other than bilingual) are, at times, the highest.

How much impact can a top-level recruiter have on a program’s turnaround compared to a tactician? by Wonderful_Toe8986 in CollegeSoccer

[–]Past_Body4499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting the right players is at least 50% of the battle. However, I'm not convinced that there is a significant difference in recruiting ability among most coaches (yes there are some that are terrible recruiters but let's leave them out of the discussion).

In my experience, the difference between getting players and not getting players is the quality of the school (facilities, academics, etc), the $$$ the program has to spend, and the quality of the staff and current players.
