Regression to the mean is all nice and good, it may be applicable for the next couple decades lumped together, but it's not of any use to attempt to predict the outcome of a single season.
That was, of course, my point. They are overestimating other effects, and treating it in such a way as to garner headlines, like the proverbial "the end is nigh!" types, or psychics making failfull yearly predictions that people rarely check up on the next year
I could be wrong about any given year's prediction vs. theirs, of course. It's all statistics. But we are seeing another example where simple, natural, unpredictable cycles are far more important. They still need to do work, but we also need to track the accuracy of predictions. The year after Katrina was predicted to be another terrible year, but was very light.
This does not support their point. It supports mine. Hence we have statistical evidence simple chaos theory is far more accurate than (whatever it is they're doing.)
It's important to point out this is not including warrant requests or those "NSA letters", both of which are legally binding, and are presumably fulfilled 100% of the time.
This is just some police guy walking in, warrantless, and asking for info. 77% of "metadata" bullshit, and 2.2% of detailed content.
It is antiboycott laws (such as the blatantly unconstitutional one the U.S. has to squash criticism of Israel [doc.gov]) that are attempts at silencing free speech.
I am willing to bet you are furious over the recent Supreme Court decision stating corporations, as Congressionally-defined groups of people, still have freedom of speech and may donate to politics.
If I am wrong, I am sorry. You would therefore agree that banding together doesn't limit your rights to speech, and that being "economic" in nature doesn't mean it's a secondary right.
When "official" assholes predicted a far worse than average hurricane season this year, I snapped a picture of Good Morning America's graphic.

These clowns have no real scientific knowledge about even basic things like regression to the mean, or a simple grasp of chaos theory and statistic. They are acting (probably deliberately, the alternative that they are stupid is also unsettling) like religious doomsdayers saying, "The end is nigh!" The goal isn't accurate prediction -- it's whipping up more frenzy for, presumably, political purposes.
Global warming or not, trying to make hurricane season predictions like this is asinine, and doesn't even understand GW's implications for such (like tiny increases in average energy, or, once in awhile, statistically one more storm per season.) It's the exact same thing as saying heat waves are due to it, when a half degree increase on average is just that -- on average -- so a heat wave would be a whisker hotter or longer than before. Again, ignorance of chaos theory.
Severe legislative penalties (long terms, put on notification offenders' lists when released) presume a significant chance of recidivism.
Talk to your legislators the next time they review this
As for this case, it sounds more like he's a garden-variety piece of shit rather than a sexual predator piece of shit. He just used perve techniques for good old blackmail. Would serve him right though, especially if any victims were underage, hit with child porn production while at it.
Curiously, Nissan's goal appears to be to take sloppy human drivers out of the equation to eliminate road fatalities."
"We want fewer people to die" is a curious position to take?
A lawyer must have written that. They are drooling, awaiting accidents so they can immediately dump it on tje deep pockets corporations. When it turns out safer, dammit! Oh they will still sue, of course, because that's what they do -- punish companies that make things net safer, in spite of their rhetoric.
I'm glad they qualified it with augment, not replace, keyboard and mouse. Big, arm-waving gestures are cute for a sci-fi movie or a novelty, but stupid for reality. When they do finger gestures as my hands rest at the keyboard and mouse, let me know.
Even "mouse gestures" where you waggle the cursor in spirals and vague rectangles went nowhere.
Shows give a lot of money. The Three Stooges and Abbot & Costello made their money at shows. Their films and shorts were advertising for them, only the studios made a lot.
That's why some of the richest performers are Vegas gods, like Wayne Newton, and why guys tired of touring like Elvis set up permanent shop there.
Early EverQuest did that deliberately to stop people from playing around with debuggers and cheat bot programs.
People figured out the RAM location of things like the bard's speed run variable and would set it to 255 and go rocketting across the landscape.
They learned a hell of a lot which is why almost everything is done server-side. That's less of an issue with hih speed connections now. Before you would have to have the client do a request, get approval, off you go at server speed, when a simpler client just told the server how fast you were moving, have a nice day hackers.
Good luck getting the other 49 states to go along with helping California dictate national policy. I'm sure it will go just as well as their whining the other 49 states should bail them out of their out of control state spending.
For the last time, they ate not cancelling it. They are moving it to America on the Stars channel, but since it was a documentary, not fiction, killing off the Brit to replace with an American was problematic. Now that that's solved...
I thought they figured out long ago that multiple antibiotics simultaneously, especially ones with different mechanisms (such that two, not one, mutation would be required, and thus infinitely less likely to happen) was the way to go, and the only thing slowing them was stacking side effects.
If not, sorry, my bad. I should have published something in the mid 1990s when this first occured to me. Sorry dead people:(
This research is interesting because it makes headway where one mutation increases sensitivity to other antibiotics, also useful.

Remember I am not predicting hurricane cycles. I am making a meta-prediction, that their predictions, for reasons listed, are not reliable.

Your name degrades confidence. Take it off the bill, resign, and move to Pawpaw New Guinea, and take 2/3 of Congress with you.
I thought the NSA already logged and stored all emails. We are concerned over ads for cold sore medicine instead of government spying?
It's an advertising term that has no legal meaning at all, typically used by gigantic marketing firms hired by hypergigantic corporations.

The brain knows when it's ready to sleep. Perhaps turn off the TV and have some quiet time with a book.
I can't count the times at work I needed a nap.
