No one was "forced to lend to people who couldn't afford homes." They knew they were giving bad loans but they didn't care because they knew they could sell them and let them become somebody else's problem.
1. Drive your car in front of a self-driving rig
2. Bring your car to a stop, thus forcing the rig to stop
3. Help yourself to whatever goodies the truck is hauling
4. Profit!
Do you really want someone to answer, or are these all rhetorical? Here's my take on this issue: Just because something is prone to be misused and misinterpreted doesn't mean it should be banned. In fact, some of the replacement approaches use the very same logic just with a different mathematical calculation process. However, it does illustrate the need for researchers to clearly communicate their results in ways that are less likely to be misused or misinterpreted. This wouldn't exclude the use of p-values but they are only one of many possible tools for researchers to use.
Some research has suggested benefits for same-sex segregated education, particularly for girls.

The separate but equal issue is a problematic, but there may be ways to reproduce the benefits of same-sex education without the full separation (such as dividing a class into two groups, or having a co-educational school with single-sex classes). Sex segregated schools can also be problematic for the transgendered, but at younger ages I don't think it would be as big of a deal for most individuals.
But how did the price for the recent Metallica movie compare? I'm sure it was much cheaper than a ticket to once of their recent concerts (not to mention they sounded much better in the movie recording than in most of their recent live concerts).
I would add that many disciplines are recognizing the importance of statistics and are therefore introducing applied statistics courses for [discipline X]. This causes a drop in enrollment in the pure statistics courses, thus decreasing the number of pure statistics instructors, thus decreasing the demand for individuals trained in pure statistics. In this way statistics is losing itself as a discipline and is quickly becoming specialized into various disciplines (e.g., the application of statistics for medical research).
Add: Filter by OS version. I have an older device and it is really irritating to find most apps won't even load on it (especially after taking the time to search for something and review its features).
I've never had a disc processed on a Saturday. Frankly, I didn't think they even did this. So yes, I am now outraged that I no longer have access to a feature that I've never used!
There are plenty of benefits that can be found from data mining. Lots of research, for example, uses data mining to identify trends, patterns, relationships, etc. that are then used to develop and test hypotheses.
So it's not data mining that's the problem, rather, it's the way some corporations and institutions use data mining for their best interest and not in the best interest of those whose data they have.
Tossing the niche channels would, presumably, increase viewership on the non-niche channels, thereby making them more profitable. Seems like there could be substantial savings for the consumer. I know I'm not supposed to respond to AC, but, again, the logic makes no sense.
This reasoning makes no sense. If it's a niche market, then there are other ways of reaching that market than making the masses pay for it. (Have they, perhaps, heard of the internet?) Further, I am guessing that most niche channels make their profit off advertising, not subscriber fees. So they would have a very low (or even negative) monthly cost to subscribers. These niche channels could even be "sweeteners" that the cable companies offer as a competitive advantage over each other.
If I wanted the same thing that cable TV provides, I'd buy cable TV. But this isn't about Netflix - they are just the first since they use so much bandwidth. Rather, it's about who gets to decide what is delivered to your computer at what speed. Today the argument is over Netflix. But tomorrow it could be CNN. Or Slashdot. Or YouTube. Or Facebook. It's bad for consumers because it will cost you more for the services you like and use and it discourages competition (just wait and see what "doesn't work" when Comcast decides they want to start a streaming video service).
A good lease is better than buying a bad used car. Buying a good used car is better than a bad lease. Buying a new car is better than buying a bad used car. Walking, biking, or taking the bus is even better if you want to save money.
In general, buying anything on time is a bad deal - especially if can't afford it!
If he does, I have two Christmas wishes of my own: the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace... ...and the second would be for $30 million a month to be given to me, tax-free, in a Swiss bank account.
There's a tremendous amount of research that has been done on this very question. I refer you to Pascarella and Terinzini's 2005 book: How College Affects Students. At 848 pages, it comprehensively covers studies on every imaginable aspect of the college experience, summarizing how it affects students (it's not just a catchy title).
The short summary? College matters. And not just STEM degrees, either.
Here's a link to more information about the book. You can find it in your local library, too.
Slashdot Mirror
Did you post this during the surgery? Ultimate example of multitasking (or recklessness).

This story appears to be about 14 years old :(
Long term viability for a band that formed almost 40 years ago? I think they're going to be okay.
So how do the natural herb sellers make a profit, then?
Given the length of time I have to wait for services (I'm looking at YOU DMV), I would appreciate some basic cable in the waiting areas.
How about MDisc? I would argue that beats BluRay.
Existence of bacteria or other similar life, millions of years ago on Mars, should not be scary to anyone (or surprising).
But how did the price for the recent Metallica movie compare? I'm sure it was much cheaper than a ticket to once of their recent concerts (not to mention they sounded much better in the movie recording than in most of their recent live concerts).
But how many people in the U.S. acquire HIV or AIDS in a hospital setting? That's a much better comparison for how Ebola is transmitted.
It's not a problem. It's a feature.

Besides, aren't most residents of Portland accustomed to consuming a little urine every now and then?
