I mean, this is all true. That said ...

The thing is though, to mimic the impact of those underlying causes there are discrete variables you can look at. And that’s what these algorithms do. They combine hundreds of variables and crunch the numbers. The patterns they see are far more complex, and they are much better at spotting false patterns in the data. W…

Now, federal prosecutors have charged Pugh with eleven counts of fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy over her “corrupt”

Eh, maybe. Of course, what he means by “not being political” is that he’ll just keep the politics inside of very carefully considered bumper rails.

I mean, “correlation =/= causation” in a broad sense is a true statement. However, correlation is pretty much always a necessary indicator for causation.

Recidivism rates decline as ex-convicts age. People get older, and their hormones get under control, they gain some perspective, and they realize there’s not enough life left to live to live it violently.  

Isn’t that the plot of Deus Sex Machina?

Keep in mind that the 17% is the cumulative effect of the algorithm and judge recommendations that at times contravene the algorithm.

Some of this is disturbing. Other parts of it aren’t particularly shocking, and I think some of what we find disturbing are intimations that should make us question our beliefs. All the algorithm is doing is taking attributes, and sorting and sifting that data against recidivism rates, trying to parse out noisy…

I really can’t find a strong selling point for playing games that you can largely get on other platforms already for around the same price. Stadia’s for tech-savvy people, but it’s likely they already own an easier way to play these games.

You know, back in the day, they could have just sent him on the next campaign to fight the savages abroad and had him stay to “govern” the country if he survived the affair.

Felicity Huffman doesn’t owe anyone anything. Nobody does!

So lately, I’ve realized I have what I would consider a “top shelf” in my gaming library. All-time favorites that I can sink meaningful time into at least once a year, with games very rarely making it to that shelf or being removed from it.

Even then, I’d add it to my Steam library, click over to download it, and given the alphabetical sorting of my Steam library, as I moved my mouse closer to it I’d think to myself “Wait, why the fuck am I going to eat Squirrel on a Stick when there’s a perfectly aged, seasoned and ready to eat gourmet Brahmin Steak…

I love Fallout 76. Wanna know why?

How you going to write about this dinner and not mention the fact that judges attending it are violating the judicial code of conduct? The Federalist Society is a fundamentally political organization.

Note in the OP’s first bullet point that 3/4ths of the revenues and expenses flowing through what is deemed “non-profits” went through 501(c)3.

I’m not “automatically assuming” they do, I’m just saying that it’s not nearly so easy to assure that they don’t as is being intimated here.

age 16 where the believe that a 16 year old cannot change is absurd.

Isn’t this around the time in her life where she should be returning to her first love?
