Nurses (yes, nurses) lead charge for Wall Street 'sin' tax: They propose to "Impose a tax of 50 cents on every $100 of trades of stocks, bonds, dividends and other financial transactions, which are not currently taxed." This would generate up to $350 billion a year.

pension actuary here, union pension plans that aren't drastically underfunded seem to be in short supply these days

You know we've had this "problem" for literally centuries, right?

No, of course you should publish if your p-value is above 0.05. The fact that people don't is precisely the problem, and why reported p-values are worthless. Publication bias is so extreme that meta-studies in a number of fields - including medicine - have shown over half of published studies to be non-replicable. So if you see a study that reports a p-value of 0.05, you actually know the p-value has to be much, much higher to account for all the other studies you didn't see.

The flip side of this is if you are publishing stuff at 0.1 significance then most of the stuff you're publishing is probably wrong. Of course, that is still true at 0.05 and is why entire scientific fields are basically worthless.

Or maybe it makes sense for a lot of hospitals to cluster around a large medical school for the same reason that tech companies cluster around tech schools?

You can't be a lawyer, you didn't have a disclaimer on your post that it didn't constitute legal advice.

If you haven't figured out how to research, think critically, and analyze stuff by the time you're in college, why should we assume a random dipshit history course will teach you?

You can't; you need a prior distribution.

Only if that management is interesting. If it's just the same fucking musical chairs that I've been doing for 15 years count me out. Oh man, I got slightly better armor! I'll put that on my main character, now I need to move his armor to the next-best character, etc. Fuck that shit.

tl;dr: fuck you

Oh man, poor mHtt, he has to compete with the "endless flood of immigrants" each of whom is poorer than he is.

Yes, more contractionary policy from the Fed is exactly what we need. It sure worked great at taming commodity prices in 08 too, didn't it? There's just the little matter of the recession it caused...

That is the entire point of the paradox: when your pieces are infinitely small (that is, individual points), you can't define the idea of "the volume of all these pieces together" in a consistent way.

No they don't. Paradox has to do this shit EVERY SINGLE TIME because their games are always unplayably buggy on release.

Seriously, circlejerk is full of just as much karmawhoring bullshit as the rest of reddit nowadays. Ever since the diggers showed up it's sucked.

It isn't countable. Take a triangle and do this, then index the circles as follows:

The first circle is 0.

The next three circles you draw are 0.0, 0.1, and 0.2.

The circles adjacent to each of those are 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.10, etc.

Taking those labels and numbers base 3, and we get a surjection from the circles onto the interval [0,1]. Therefore the set must be uncountable.

This is so easy to beat, though. Just remember the configuration of a decent linear feedback shift register and you have a PRNG that's incredibly easy to run in your head or on scratch paper.
