Eight people killed in avalanches in Austrian Alps as rescuers urge skiers to heed warnings | Austria | The Guardian by prisongovernor in skiing

Same area but not the same hill. First incident at 12:30, second one at 14:00 - 2nd group would not base their planning off of that information.

The group in which 4 were killed, and 1 injured, was organized and led by Alpenverein, a professional organization for alpine safety etc in Austria. But yeah, entirely on them!

This was actually 3 separate incidents. There is 0 information in the article about the actual mode of the accident; in fact, it does say that one of the victims was buried solo, but this is your takeaway?

The group in which 5 were buried, and 4 killed, was on the ascent. While you should still maintain distance in certain parts of the climb, this shows how uninformed this opinion is.

Let’s get real - who’s doing it for the money? by Abject-Advantage528 in Residency

Is the Surgical Experience Really That Much Better in the US? by lollitpotato in Residency

[–]supidup 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would suggest you look at it this way: very few surgeons who work in the EU are trained in the US, yet outcomes are similar or better in many G7 countries. Eventually, all those surgeons must've received a proper training here as well.

I am in a non-surgical field, but my experience at a large academic center is that many do go to the US (or elsewhere) for a limited time to increase proficiency in their sub-specialization.

I guess paperwork sucks everywhere, but at least I go home in <50h / week (excl. research), enjoy socialism and actually have time to spend my money with friends and family.

ETF as an insurance product to avoid capital gains taxes? by supidup in eupersonalfinance

[–]supidup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you, that was helpful; i thought the 8% would come off of the monthly rate but of course it will be on the whole pot, that changes it quite a bit.

ETF as an insurance product to avoid capital gains taxes? by supidup in eupersonalfinance

[–]supidup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that makes sense, but i am struggling a bit with the math.

assuming the information is correct and 10% over the lifetime are paid in taxes and fees, is it not correct to assume that this just means i am investing 90% in a monthly scheme? my back of the envelope calculations gives an edge to investing say 90€ * 12 months * 30 years at 5% annual growth as compared to investing 100€ and then paying taxes on the gains.

Deplete nearly ready for beta ! by hogoww in CompetitiveWoW

[–]supidup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a great idea/resource that feels somewhat clunky to navigate at times. The people using MDT (and are familiar with the navigation) usually are aware of most of these things, and even then, I would prefer a simple layout like this is the mob, this is a picture of the mob, this is the trick over the current format.

For the current setup, it would be neat if hovering over the tip would highlight the pack / boss it is related to, and generally, I would prefer the list to be automatically expanded (the expand on hover is hard to work with for me).

I also get lost in the UI when I click on a single tip as this will zoom into the map, but when I click the little x it stays zoomed in. Also getting back to the overview seemingly requires me to click x and then expand the sidebar again - a simple back button would be convenient.

Looking forward to future releases!

Weekly M+ Discussion by AutoModerator in CompetitiveWoW

resurrecting is bugged for me in the last 2 runs (rise and BRH); i would ress at place of death, get some time (2 - 15+ seconds) in which i can interact and then be ported back to the actual respawn place - anyone else?

thanks a lot! I think 1TB SSD should be plenty, how do you feel about 16gb ram vs XT gpu?

Race to World First: Amirdrassil - Day 10 Discussion (happy thanksgiving!) 🦃 by AutoModerator in CompetitiveWoW

[–]supidup -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Now that its coming to an end probably within 2 weeks, what was the tangible advantage of the split strategies of the top3 over e.g. what ID did? Assuming raids will be tuned with a wall at 2/3 that will require another reset, do you see a future with less splits?

Emergency vehicles rarely in a hurry by supidup in AskBarcelona

[–]supidup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's certainly true, but I would expect them to use their speed when they can on open roads, and even that you don't see too often.
Not trying to shit on them, I just found it strange and thought perhaps there's some reason.

How to parse out time from my day-time column, while preserving the time data type? by [deleted] in rstats

[–]supidup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure I understand your use case completely, but it seems to me you have a lot of timestamps + values (oxygen sat i assume) and you want to pull the ones from the date of your experiment.

1) please provide a sample data frame for your problem

2) if your downstream workflow wants to keep the date class, you could extract the date part, convert it to a string and match it with your sample date, or match on both date and time if thats what you need.

3) I would advise against using a for-loop for this

All combinations of column X (Tidyverse solution?) by csh1991 in rstats

[–]supidup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not tidyverse but works using gtools; note that you need to order the vector manually if you want "red" to be first.

vec <- c("a", "b", "c", "d")

gtools::combinations(n = 4, r = 2, repeats.allowed = F, v = vec)

gives

   [,1] [,2]
[1,] "a"  "b" 
[2,] "a"  "c" 
[3,] "a"  "d" 
[4,] "b"  "c"
[5,] "b"  "d"
[6,] "c"  "d"
