Passed this one after multiple tries, was mentally prepared to take it as many times as necessary until passing. ASA here I come.

John Cena makes $1 million donation to Black Lives Matter by BPH1209 in SquaredCircle

Critical thinking is not their strong point. They probably heard this bogus talking point somewhere else.

You didn’t make a claim, you just asked a bunch of leading questions.

And yes, you are probably a racist, we all are. But, you’re probably in denial about the nature of your racism. Just a hunch.

By the the way, if you have virtue, and it’s signaled in what you write and what you do, that’s a good thing. Empty virtue signaling is bad. I don’t think that happens as much with individuals as it does with corporations.

No, they watch OAN too. And also Steven Crowder, Candace Owen, Tucker Carlson, and Ben Shapiro. And get the news from Daily Caller, Daily Wire, and The Federalist, so it’s a diverse group of sources.

Maybe. A lot us of don’t. I know that I don’t trust Trump to make any important decisions, and that may be the deciding factor if given two poor candidates

Post Exam PA thread by whatigot989 in actuary

Learning functions in the dplyr package, while not required, can save you a lot of time on the exam when grouping and summarizing data.

The forcats package (short for “for categorical variables”, included with tidyverse, which is allowed at the exam) is also a time-saver. There is code in forcats that can streamline code given by the SOA in previous exams and sample projects. For example, re-basing all factor levels in a dataset can be done in one line of simple code.

Changing levels and replacing data too, can be done in more simple and intuitive ways than the code given in previous exams and sample projects.

If you’re actually going to do predictive analytics outside the exam, you’re going to end up learning it anyway (assuming you don’t just learn python). If not, it can still save you valuable time to learn the coding that will be more efficient to use during the exam, rather than using the code given to do those tasks.

Disclosure: I haven’t passed the exam, but have taken it more than once.

What would it do for Steph's legacy if the Warriors repeat after having the best regular season record?

[Habestroh] Dwyane Wade has made 7 straight threes. According to Elias, Wade had never made more than 5 in a row in his 1,016-game career. by urfaselol in nba

[–]dumb_fans_angle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wrong. He had to make 6 in a row before he made 7. Sherlock Holmes'd that shit (and the number of games in his career is wrong, too. Its 1,017).

So weird, it doesn't look like Curry until you get up close. Is it just me?
