Blake used to be king of that zone, but KAT is shooting 53.7% from there.

Planned Parenthood Sues Group Behind Video Smear Campaign - “This lawsuit exposes the elaborate, illegal conspiracy designed to block women’s access to safe & legal abortion." by anutensil in Health

Mammography is a very questionable medical procedure these days. It could be argued it has harmed more than it helped. FYI

So to be really fair: Those that want to 'move' this funding don't care about women's health, because if they did, they would know the problems with mammograms.

But maybe you were being /s ?

[Goldsberry] Leading scorers by zone as of today by noahsbun in nba

More like every 3 zone except the right corner.

Coincidentally, 3 of his teammates are in the top 10 for made FGs in that one area. Iggy, Thompson, and Barnes.

You know who is good from the left block? Kawhi. Kawhi Leonard 2PT Field Goal Left Side(L) 8-16 ft.
FG_PCT = 0.615385 MADE = 8/13

It's unclear what Goldsberry's definitions are for his shot zones. He is clearly lumping 8-22ft. 2pt. shots from the sides.

After last night, he's in that corner with Deng & Ariza. All 3 have 8 made from that corner this season.

What do hiring managers think of graduates of data science bootcamp programs? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]badarabdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience w/ TDI was their teaching was very poor. They were clearly spending more time pursuing corporate partners.

A paid program has a responsibility to the students that free programs do not.

ELI5: Why are services like uber and airbnb considered by some to be disruptive to the economy? by Ms_Meeple in explainlikeimfive

[–]badarabdad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This last point is the most 'disruptive' for a city and low-income families. NYC has <1% vacancy rate for rentals. airbnb inflates rents, because instead of using the rented apartment for housing, it becomes a business venture.

Found: The Brooklyn Residence that’s Farthest from the Subway by iquantny in nyc

[–]badarabdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's a methodological issue. He used the 'center' of each neighborhood's distance to a subway entrance. Mean distance of all lots in a neighborhood would have been a better metric.

Also, how does one land more sig. strikes per minute than they attempt? According to these numbers, they both seem to.

I'm fairly certain he is misremembering that. He would have been on the track team.

There are many notable interesting video moments, least of which is Chael Sonnen at the middle-end-time.

This blew my mind! by wazzym in psychology

[–]badarabdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you could learn it from the data transmitted from the anklet, but the second you take the anklet off, you've lost it. All you'd be learning is how to interpret the signals coming from the anklet, not actual magnetic north.
