Would you have a second paper to support your "idea"?:D
The end of the question is: if you have a median income of 30 bakers and I have one, what would it mean to compare the two? Obviously it is meaningless, but you try to argue it has a meaning, but give no argument:D
He did it by breathing pure oxygen for 20 minutes before his attempt. Pure oxygen would kill you in a matter of seconds, unless you use a very low pressure, like something like 100mB, I wonder if that had any effect on diving.
As a child I could hold breath for more than 5 minutes (under water, but not swimming), my mother did not allow me for longer times, she was to scared. Active diving I can about 3 minutes to a depth of about 10 meters. But I don't practice it... (I mean, no real training)
Combat divers routiniously dive for 5min in shallow water without gear.
Which does not really make sense, as the red blood cells can not pick up magically some oxygen that is not there. You are limited by the oxygen you breath in when starting to dive... no matter how many red blood cells later get released by the spleen.
Ha ha ha ha... 50%, probably more, Mac users are software developers. If we can not install the software we want, we switch to linux... why would Apple ever do that?
The median of a sample from a population is normally distributed around the true median of the population, just like the estimator for the mean. How do you come to that idea? You would need to hand pick samples and know the number before hand to achive that. And in the end comparing two medians still would be meaningless. If you accidentally have a sample that only contains people above average or above median or below, does not matter, the median and average would be completely elsewhere.
I'm not sure what's more impressive: your mathematical illiteracy, or the assertiveness with which you display it. Your attempts to insult me are obviously the most impressive.
Hint: I know what a median is, and how to use it. But I'm not a statistian. I'm a software developer. My math skills are in algreba and calculus. Of you think your skills in statistics are so superior, let me point out: your skills in explaining anything are ZERO.
I downloaded one single application from the macStore, Baldurs Gate. Oh, and an update for XCode, I believe. All other applications/software I download from the vendors site.
But really you can look at perl and tell what catergory a variable is from the sigils-- Actually you cant. For obscure reasons the sigils sometimes change when accessing arrays or hashes.
The differences are: in a union you pay a percentage of your wage to the union in a union you can go on dtrike, and then the union pays your lost wages
and for income distributions, which we are talking about here, the median is an excellent statistic, No it is not. It is completely meaningless. Unless you know the average and size of evaluated data and the min and max. Who cares what the numbers in a sorted list of wages are in the middle of the array? Interesting is e.g. the total money they earn.
People use median because the number might look more impressive than the average.
If you want to calculate the median income of a German, you need the income of every single German person. Good luck in getting that.
Depending where you live you might have a trick to get the income of every person in your country... but unless you do that, you can not calculate the median.
How you calculate it is up to you. Point is: comparing two medians from different sources make no sense unless you also know: max, min, average, size of input set.
Ah, I did not get the point about running on 68k. I assumed the poster meant that before 68k we had a different architecture, which we had not.
Of course later we had PowerPC...
Sorry, to nitpick, but every 68k is also better than a 80486, so no need to throw around "years of introduction". I bought my first 80486 DX2 in 1993... it still only could use tricks to address all the memory. Special stupid "modes" etc. On the other hand a 68040 is straight forward to program in assembly. Of course we rarely did that.
That's where you're wrong, bucko. Most of Iran is totally OK with living under an Islamist regime. No they are not. No one on the world is ok to live under a religious regime.
BZZT wrong, the Shah was installed by the CIA. Yes, and later he was dethroned by the same CIA.
The Shah was overthrown by Islamic radicals allied with Iranian liberals. Yes, and the liberals were payed by the CIA and supported with weapons. In the end it backfired because the Ayatollas won the revolution.
These English-speaking exiles are where we get our news about Iran from, and shockingly to hear from them everything is horrible. Rofl, just because you have no news about Iran, it does not mean I have none either.
they will now go to the German Federal Constitutional Court. So the ruling could still be overthrown. The federal constitution court will most likely simply dismiss the case, as it is in no relevance to the constitution...
In Europe, and that includes Norway, vacation is usually counted in "work days". So if one says "3 weeks" it is a bit ambigous, don't you think so? As "3 weeks" would be 21 days, and that would translate to more than 4 calendar weeks and as the parent is obviously an american and by law only has 10 days vacation, I guess the question is valid.
Well, I know you are trolling. But in America the first 5 (or more?) sick days are not payed by the employer or by health insurance. (Regardless if the employee or kid is sick) So if you want to troll, troll somehow funny... just saying.
If a single mother's kid is sick in Germany, the health insurance pays the employer for her sick leave... go figure. And the health insurance covers for her lost wages *and* her kids health bills.
3 Weeks vac, does that mean 15 work days or 21? (A week has 7 days, if you only get the 15 work days between weekends as vacation, you are a poor sod.)
No idea from where thy pull their info and how they calculate it down (e.g. sometimes, as in Germany's case, it is calculated on the work days per week, and Germany by law still has 6, so perhaps the 20 days on wikipedia are a normalization down to 5 work days, but that looks implausible)

You are limited by the oxygen you breath in when starting to dive
Every human is capable to train for 2 or more minutes diving.
I did not dive for 30 years but when I was in Thailand 2 years ago I dived like 3 or 4 minutes without any recent training.
Does not mean there is no such gene ...

Founding a new one is not.
And during the 'holiwood writers strike' none of the writers 'gained' any money.
If you are in a union you can go on strike without loss of income.

I really wonder what kind of troll you are :D
Well,
here it is common that the wife works at a bank and produces the income.
While the man is working in a repair shop and gets payed for his hobby.
Just saying :D
(P.S. that means, she pays for the house and he pays for the vacations)
3 Weeks vac, does that mean 15 work days or 21? (A week has 7 days, if you only get the 15 work days between weekends as vacation, you are a poor sod.)
You can not compare two medians.
And based on the amount of people involved, you can not even calculate it or "estimate" it.
You either mean mean or average (which are the same) but most certainly not median, unless the US is experiencing a meaning shift of the word median.
Hint:
-100,000,000 5 10 (note the minus)
1 2 3 4 5 5 7 8 9 100,000,000
Both sequences of numbers have the same median. Completely meaningless if you don't know about how to apply it.
BTW: the median in both cases is: 5.
Yeah, but the link is wrong.
France is 30 days and Germany 24.
