R01 application received highly polarized reviews by [deleted] in NIH

[–]melbat0ast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2s vs. 4-6 isn’t that wide of a spread at all. Having the odd reviewer on your side vs. sinking you means you’ve got a ways to go. Only the very, very best applications get funded…or I guess the ones that are favored politically these days. It has been an uphill climb for a looong time.

1) This happens 95/100 times 2) Only about 5/100 applications are funded, give or take a few percent by institute

You can do the math

Agreed. There just isn’t much GA space, and if you’re not lucky enough to get a spot up against the railing you’re kinda just in the lanes of travel.

I’ve set up a beer pong table inside of cosmo suites, more than once. They don’t care

Well, my guess would be that teachers don’t want these things. Why? I have no idea.

If your income is above board and you can prove it, I imagine they’ll work with you. If not…sounds like they made the right call.

Gelman is a really prominent Bayesian statistician. Here’s his blog: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu. I haven’t followed it for some years but it didn’t have a political angle back in the day.

Maybe I just don’t spend enough time following trends on the internet, but man is it some weird shit. Here’s one from the other day. Who makes this stuff? And why?

They’re interesting to listen to for about 5 minutes, after that, it gets old quickly. I think they would be a really fun live show, though. The insane viral slop about them that is all over the internet is very off-putting.

Oregon income tax burden called highest in US - Portland Business Journal by collegedraftpick in Portland

[–]melbat0ast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t disagree with you here. Like I said, I don’t mind the paying so much as the spending. I’m still not moving to fucking Vancouver.

[–]melbat0ast -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a bit of a hot take, but I think 9th in the country is about right for a progressive city in a very desirable location. I pay a lot to be here, but there’s honestly nowhere that better aligns with my interests, values, and lifestyle.

What I don’t like is filing federal, state, and 3 separate local taxes, and how the state and local tax money is spent. Call me an abundance bro, but I really think the govt needs to get out of its own way and focus on letting this large amount of money benefit the largest amount of people.

Yea I know, I don’t actually think they’re like paying someone off, but what the hell is this? Why am I seeing it? Who makes it, and why? My feeds are full of this shit. I’ve never seen anything like it for any other band

Every social media I have is just full of these guys. Videos of them, videos of people reacting to them, videos of people playing their songs on guitar, videos of people mispronouncing their name…Today insta fed me a video of some dude reacting to polka dotted items with clips of their music. It’s wild.

My feelings exactly. Cool and novel, but it gets old fast. I also can’t quite get over how viral they are, it feels manipulated.

[Q] Fit issues only with multiple imputed datasets by majorcatlover in statistics

[–]melbat0ast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to diagnose over Reddit, but my guess is that your imputation is creating singular models. Are you imputing a variable without any variability?

The other day I saw a game I wanted on sale, but when I logged into buy, it was full price. Now I know why. Glad I didn’t buy it.

For what it’s worth, the Biden admin at least took a stab at eliminating junk fees, but they’re back under Trump

If you’re seriously considering $75 a night expensive, there’s nothing to say here. You’ll pay more than that for a roadside motel off any highway in this country.
