If The Gardian stops telling people what they want to hear today, they'll have fewer paid members tomorrow.

There's more demand for spin based journalism (or activist journalism) than reporting nowadays. I suppose The Guardian - like others - are following the market trend.

We can say this about anything in the universe though.

I remember studying this in high school geography.

There's a part of the east coast of England that's being eroded at a rate of a couple of metres per year due to the sea cliffs being made up of soft glacial deposits.

It's an interesting example because people can observe the effect of the sea eating the land in a very short time. Some losing homes that were once miles from the coast.

Of course this phenomenon occurs on every coastline, but it takes generations.

This makes a lot of sense intuitively as vehicles moving at the same speed will mean fewer variables for a human driver to worry about. Although it must have its limits.

Do you remember where you saw the data on this?

I don't understand why this is getting down voted.

Here's a clip of Dr Rhonda Patrick, who is incredibly well informed on the effects of dietary cholesterol, basically saying the same thing: https://youtu.be/VnYeuES3joc

A good heuristic for this is don't eat anything that, in its purest form, wasn't around 10,000 years ago.

> CCTV on the track and crossings ahead is better placed for early warning.

That's a lot of CCTV to replace one human.

Interesting article but the Marxist tangent the author went on was unusual.

One wonders how much of this correlation is affected by more people renting properties in low income neighbourhoods combined with the fact that its more economical for landlords to rent low-mid value properties.

I once saw a talk given by Gates where he attributed much of his wild success to timing (luck).

In the early years of Microsoft there were no real software companies for them to complete with.

I've used a tool called 'trash' on OSX for a few years:

`brew install trash`

You seem to be confusing trends and data points. In my original comment I was pointing out that a trend tells us a lot, while an isolated data point tells us almost nothing.

My issue with the article is that the author uses a data point and frames it like a trend. It's sensational, sure, but it will only be statistically significant when we can observe a trend.

I'll elaborate. As many others have pointed out below, a single data point says nothing about a trend. It's statistics 101.

I agree that man made climate change is a big problem, but I'm not willing to use every sensational event as confirmation of this.

How did that democracy work with articles 11 and 13?

The European Union is the antithesis of democracy. If it wasn't, those directives would never have passed.

>making it difficult to tell what was a genuine post and what was not. Let’s compare some to see if you can tell the difference. Spoiler: It isn’t easy.

Actually it's really easy. Just look at the number of likes/responses.

The Ancient Egyptians also used base 2 multiplication.
