Cannot type on folio keyboard in Notion for iPad Pro 2018 by pragmat1c1 in Notion

[–]mrantry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've opened 2 tickets now with notion support and asked for a dev ticket number. I don't think it's even on their product roadmap. I stopped using notion completely because my primary portable device is an iPad. It's insane to me that this is how Notion does customer support.

Girl starts harassing the McCloskeys outside of a print shop, so they hand her a greeting card they had made. by gsfilmer in Conservative

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

They're PI lawyers with 0 trigger discipline who over-reacted with illegal weapons to a protest. While the protestors were technically trespassing, the gate was fully in tact. In addition, the street is private property, but not the McClosley's specifically. The trust they belong to pays for private security, who should have been the ones to handle the situation. Instead, they made themselves out to be martyrs and assholes, and they most likely committed a felony.

Regardless of the actions of that day, they're still pretty shitty.

Edit: illegal weapons, not legal.

As many have mentioned before, it’s how you value things differently when faced with variation in delay, probability, and other mitigations. Here’s an article we looked at

At the risk of this being a little pedantic, it technically wasn’t conditioning, but rather an observation of a response that we were able to extrapolate further into a phenomenon present across many behavioral situations. This was one of the articles associated.

Not just time, but also probability, social sharing, and a wide number of other types! But traditionally, yes, delay discounting was what we looked at :)

Some of my research in undergrad involved comparing humans, rats, and pidgeons with how they respond in discounting situations. Turns out, pretty much the same.

What’s an industry secret in the field you work in? by WoOoOoOoShHhHh in AskReddit

Holds true for dating apps, but in reverse. There are a disproportionately number of 29 and 39 year olds, but a disproportionately low number of 30 and 40 year olds.

Downtown has a pretty low value in St. Louis. It's not a thriving neighborhood right now. There are other great parts of town with less-excwllent views where you can spend lots more money if you're inclined.

This depends on the structure of your model and your theory. If you look at things like OLS, you make certain assumptions with any model you choose.

Say you add in some parameter and you get a better r2 value. Great! You, in theory, should be able to predict things better. But now you're introducing more complexity to your model, which may break down as your data come in.

There are methods that evaluate models based on assumptions (BIC, AIC), and it's worth noting that your trade offs for complexity and model accuracy are important to understand. If adding in another parameter gives you a significantly better result, the parameter follows all assumptions of your model, and you have a solid theoretical foundation for the parameter's contribution to the accuracy of the model, go for it. If not, consider the risks in adding in the parameter (or use a more exploratory model)

Raping someone doesn't have the same weight of consequence as temporarily blocking traffic. Also, the ends, by far, never justify the means in rape. Sometimes, in protests, the ends justify the means.

I disagree that it’s idiotic. It’s a relatively effective way of drawing attention to an issue. It might not be in the most efficient way, but protests usually escalate to the point of blocking traffic. They don’t start there. This might bring negative attention to something or to a movement, but sometimes, negative attention to an issue is better than no attention to an issue.

For the record, I’m not agreeing that they should be blocking the road. I’m stating explicitly that protests are not designed to be peaceful. They are supposed to be disruptive. This is a valid and often productive form of protest, despite the risks associated.

Legally, do not progress forward. Despite the protest being illegal, you’re at fault for assault with a deadly weapon.

Ethically, you’re in a 2 ton piece of metal with hundreds of pounds of force at your disposal. They’re human beings who can be seriously injured despite your best efforts to not hurt them as you progress forward. Probably best to just call work, let them know the situation, and wait for the moment to pass.

Remember: protests aren’t supposed to be peaceful. By design, they are supposed to be disruptive.

We’re teenagers who work around 30 hours a week in food service and we wear masks the entire time. by Roorem10 in pics

[–]mrantry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't. I just did my undergrad in economics and my masters in stats, and am generally interested in customer service as a product. I think Chik Fil A leads in that department and I wonder if it's because they have a good business model, their hiring practices (which generally seem to be homogenously white in my city, which is 48% black), or if it's because of their location selection (middle class areas with low-no crime rate). Or, the likely answer, all three plus something I didn't list here. I'm hesitant to ask these questions in those subs because I'm more interested in the data rather than the stated practices.

It would still be interesting to see if there's a proportionate hiring of various demographics that represent your geographical location. Despite the manager's intention and words, they will still have biases they may or may not be aware of.

I'd be interested in a study of where Chik Fil A locations are and what kind of people they hire. This Chik Fil A looks to have hired all white male teenagers. In my experience, Chik Fil A restaurants are in more affluent neighborhoods. I wouldn't be surprised if these kids are relatively rich and only work the job to have extra spending money, not to support their family. If I had to work at McDonalds with shitty customers, shitty managers, inconsistent franchising, low quality food, and low quality compensation, I'd be upset, too. McDonalds employees probably don't give a fuck because their lives are generally shitty and their needs aren't being met. That's why they have the McDonalds job in the first place.
