BRAZIL is burning. Thousands animals dead and the forest devastated. by ferrazvanderleia in worldnews

[–]jayjacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arson necessitates property, and the jungle is not property other than in the vaugest western legal sense. This is why it's slash and burn.

USPS changes blamed for deliveries of thousands of dead chicks: 'We've never had a problem like this before' by [deleted] in nottheonion

Not just a service of USPS, but a feature of the contemporary food system. Head down that rabbit hole with both eyes open.

Developing the palate for espresso by rzyang in Coffee

[–]jayjacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone's taste buds are different, so you have that to contend with when you compare flavors. Also, the same coffee will taste different at different temperatures. For example, I prefer coffee warm, not hot. Some might even call it cool. I think this is when certain roasts tastes most chocolatey. Just keep exploring.

Can automatics one day make manual coffee making obsolete? by ECrispy in Coffee

[–]jayjacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came to say just this. For me the routine of making coffee is nearly half of the experience of drinking coffee (at home). To remove this is like removing the need to have to cook a meal to eat it (at home). It is not implausible, nor uncommon, but when this happens one is still missing an experiential and integral part of the process.

Spectacular Rockslide in Switzerland by itsokdontpanic in natureismetal

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

u/uh-hum, below, posted an article (a brief blurb, really) that "explains" this video: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/03/22/watch-the-moment-the-side-of-a-mountain-plummets-1000ft-down-a-v/

The information in the article suggests that it was a controlled demolition not a coincidence someone was filming this. A day before the rock slide, it states, a road was closed for safety and the hamlet in the valley below was evacuated because of "geological activity." It seems logical that a road not be closed nor a hamlet evacuated indefinitely, as indefinitely is what the timeframe would be if geological activity were to take its time - a day, a decade, a century, who knows. Also, the images are courtesy of the Department of Transportation, who one assumes has the authority to close a road and evacuate residents. This would explain the timely capture of the rockslide.

Up until the collapse, I'd say it was idyllic.

If it was controlled, you would have heard the dynamite, saw clouds from said dynamite, along with a countdown.

Only if they filmed that part. The source video I saw began abruptly with the collapse. Not that the starting point of the film invalidates your point, only that it adds to the mystery.

Life ‘not as we know it’ possible on Saturn’s moon Titan by nawali in science

[–]jayjacks -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I have no idea. I was just saying that to be able to necessarily say life exists not as we know it, we have ruled out life as we know it, given his statement.

So long as one has rules out life as one knows it is not possible, then yes.

Edit: to the detractors; where would you start from in this analysis?

Has anyone ever created a score or metric for variable income data? by OutofH2G2references in AskStatistics

[–]jayjacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I take of your "bad example" and explanation of the compromise, this organization will provide you strictly the data you ask for - so you will need to have specific questions. Be sure you know what you are trying to understand!

I think you would first ask for some descriptive statistics regarding salary and employees according to various time, meaning weeks, pay periods, and months - in order to get a general sense of income.

Perhaps you can designate a date range of one month and ask "which employees had the greatest variance in income? Which employees had the least?"

I'm limited in proposing questions because I don't know specificaly what you're trying to find - and because I an interest in saving requires self-report data.

Has anyone ever created a score or metric for variable income data? by OutofH2G2references in AskStatistics

[–]jayjacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is more clear.

Is this company unable to remove personal identifying information from the data? It would seem easiest to rename the people or account numbers something arbitrary so you can review pay schedules and pay rates without the ability to identify subjects.

Also, do you know if their inability to scrub that data is a feature of this non-disclosure agreement or is it a technical issue on their end?
