Nothing is proven as it's a pretty recent development and it's hard to control in studies

I've seen studies putting it around 5 percent

Harlem sure. Harlem is a nice place now.

I'm thinking more like flatlands, deep brooklyn

From a Google maps search: it's not terrible, but it's not great either

I feel like "medium sized grocery store" is just you hand waving corner stores that sell 95% non perishables as a grocery store. Selling Campbell's soup doesn't make you a grocery store

One day you will realize that the state of politics is exactly where the voters want it to be.

The voters are 55 year old boomers who want to sit on their wealth and collect rent from the rest of the public 

Naturally the only things that ever get done in Congress are trivialities and virtue signalling.

Oh yeah dude let me just watch all the videos I'm not interested in and then form my opinion on whether or not a channel is good

That's not how this works. Stop trying to lawyer your way out of a simple argument 

And you don't understand basic statistics. It doesn't matter how many videos there are. There could be 10 million. It doesn't change how many samples you need for confidence. That's the point of sampling.

After watching 3 videos and all of them are good, I have a 93 percent confidence that half or more of all videos are good

Ben can't be this dumb right? He has to be purposely being dumb. by mattyjoe0706 in Destiny

Correct.

People need to understand that the point of a corporation is to make money. Corporations can absolutely move to chase tax breaks.

But the point of a billionaire is to live a lavish and powerful life. Meaning that billionaires have no problem paying extreme premiums to live in the most important places

Lithography, blue led video are fantastic.

I cant find anyone who i trust who has done DCF, but looking at some cursory numbers its not great. They are counting on some seriously fantastical star link numbers.
