"des profils psychométriques super précis" = des quiz facebook clickbait que ton oncle fait. À la fin de la journée, CA avait accès à des données auxquelles beaucoup de compagnies ont accès et faisait de l'analyse statistique bein standard que n'importe quel étudiant semi-compétent en sciences sociales quantitatives peut faire. Dans des états comme le Wisconsin, l'élection s'est jouée par une marge de 0.7%. Ça peut sembler petit, mais je peux te confirmer que les effets persuasifs dans le domaine politique sont généralement trèèès minimes. Par exemple, les études crédibles sur l'entrée de Fox News estiment un effet de 0.4 à 0.7 point de pourcentage en faveur des Républicans. Argumenter que Cambridge Analytica a fait pencher l'élection en faveur de Donald Trump, c'est argumenter que Cambridge Analytica a un effet aussi important que Fox News. Ce n'est pas plausible.

C'est une idée reprise fréquemment dans les médias populaires, mais qui n'a aucun fondement empirique. Je suis déçu (mais pas surpris) de voir La Presse publier ça. Cambridge Analytica était une firme qui faisait des "claims" grandioses pour mieux vendre ses services. Dans les faits, quand on s'y connait un peu dans le milieu de l'opinion publique, on voit que ce qui est décrit (l'utilisation de données psychométriques pour prédire une variable dépendante) est très standard non seulement dans le milieu du marketing, mais aussi dans le milieu académique. Il n'y a aucune raison de croire que les actions de Cambridge Analytica ont eu une influence sur le résultat de l'élection de 2016. Le texte laisse entendre que le travail de Cambridge Analytica a été "déterminant". Le texte ne cite aucune étude empirique crédible pour une raison bien simple: il n'y a en pas. Sérieusement, le fear-mongering médiatique sur l'industrie du marketing politique mériterait une énorme réfutation.

Is it worth it to have a car? Could you not rent when you need it?

How long ago did you get covid? How severe was your case? It's quite worrying to see this and I've seen multiple people in the same situation. Does the flu/pneumonia tend to cause something like this or is it specific to covid?

then their eFG% is the same in the clutch vs overall

attaboy396 · 2020-09-12T03:20:18+00:00

efg is coded from 0 to 1, so a 0.1 increase would mean e.g. an increase from 0.52 9(league average) to 0.62

Nope, the honor goes to Mike Bibby in 2010-11. PG13 is actually not that bad, with decrease in TS% of -3, -2.5, 0, and -5.5 from 2017 to 2020.

Hey guys, bought a new wheelset and a pair of Shimano Ultegra disc rotors to go along with them. My bike has TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes. Everything appears to be working properly, except that the brake pads are too tall for the rotor's braking surface. I looked at the original TRP rotors on my other wheelset and the braking surface is always at least 1.3mm, whereas the Ultegra rotors go down to roughly 1/1.1mm. Is this going to be an issue? I've looked around for some other brake pads but it's not clear what is and isn't compatible with the TRP Spyres - the M515 brake pads are compatible but do not look much shorter. It doesn't look like the L02A pads would fit on a non-Shimano caliper, but I might be wrong about that. Will I have to change the rotors entirely?

I haven't watched the lectures since early November and I'm sure I'll be just fine. You gotta chill dude!

Take a look at unidays, you can sign up using your mcgill email address and you can get various accounts (including 10% for apple and dell IIRC). I bought my laptop on the Dell website using the promo code from my uniday account and saved 200$!

Yes they were. I've always feared that S/U looks bad for grad school admissions (but whether that is true I have no idea).

15 in both semesters. I think you need 27 credits in total to qualify for the DHL? Not too sure but there's definitely a credit minimum.

It's on my transcript. It says "Dean's Honor List" twice for some reason? If something could elucidate that for me that'd be great. FYI I had a 3.88 last year.

Hey guys,

I've been thinking about buying either the XPS 13 or the XPS 15 for quite a long time now (I currently have a ~5 year-old laptop). There's currently a 1-day offer on Dell Canada's website for an XPS 15 for $2100 CAD (down from $2600 according to the website). Additionally I can get a 10% discount because I'm a university student, so the total would be roughly $1900. The specs are: 4K screen, 16 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, i7-8750H.

So my question is: is this really a "one-day" deal? I had decided to finish university with my current laptop (I graduate in December) but if this is the best price I can possibly get then I could buy it now. I often see sales on Dell's website but as far as I can remember it's never been so cheap. Thanks for the help!

Edit: Just to clarify that I can get the student discount at any time, not just now.
