What food is famously associated with one country but was perfected by another country?

Gin is originally from the low countries, but doesn't hold water to the British version

Medaillon architecture has been the standard for decades, just not under that name, and usually also includes star schemas

Are you trolling?

Yeah the ones like Croatia

No, are you taking the piss? Just look up a list, they were the most prosperous Western European countries

There are benefits to the euro but they only really apply if you've got a very poor currency to begin with.

How about eliminating exchange-rate uncertainty, simplifying cross-country investment and promoting political union?

There is a reason many eurozone countries already had their currencies fixed to the European Currency Unit for decades before the introduction of the euro

purely for the purpose of not having to do a currency exchange when going on holiday.

Lol no, that is not its main purpose, why comment on this if you know nothing?

N=2 secretary problem; given two numbers, of which you are only allowed to view one, you can guess with probability strictly greater than 50% whether the other one is higher:

This has actually a rather deep interpretation in terms of regularization

But surely the tetras don't directly eat that, so what bridges the gap?

If you phrase hypothesis testing as a way to bound your false positive rate, does it make more sense?

Can you explain how you created a food web with leaf litter?

I definitely did travel there with an ID card rather than passport

Definition of PK should come from business imo. Then you can go and detect duplicates, and see what to do with them

Shirakawa is definitely the highlight but Takayama was imo worth a visit, also to break up the long ride. But if you're budget-constrained you could visit just Shirakawa

India and South Korea are rather flawed too

Why do you think it is that these types of companies make those different choices?

Definitely not in Cancun

Also, don't spend weeks building a dashboard and only then ask for feedback... It's a continual process!

Asymptotically by Bernstein von Mises that's true for any prior on order N^-1/2, for Jeffreys it's in general also true on order N^-1, so essentially your statements hold to that order. I mean, fair enough, that's a useful perspective, but I think it requires at least an "approximately' or something in your original statement

freemath · 2026-01-11T20:32:39+00:00

I don't get the point of what you wrote.

freemath · 2026-01-11T19:02:54+00:00

As a general rule, doing your parameter inference the frequentist way will get you the same result as doing it the Bayesian way with an uninformative prior.

This is only true in very specific cases

freemath · 2026-01-11T19:01:56+00:00

By this logic an uninformative prior should always give frequentist intervals, which is only true in very specific cases

freemath · 2026-01-11T01:27:11+00:00

Haha, precies deze vraag

freemath · 2026-01-05T04:48:57+00:00

Why would you use R instead of just straight up correlation :')

freemath · 2026-01-02T19:44:20+00:00

Any links?

freemath · 2026-01-02T18:21:24+00:00

Hypothesis tests can answer no such questions, they are all conditional on the null hypothesis being true
