Funny, I too searched this question earlier today. Presumably OP also was wondering what happens if Jimmy Carter dies before Election Day.

From his blog: "I spent many nights trying to figure out the best way to sleep in first class. In the end, sleeping on an air mattress under the seats proved to be a good idea."

So I guess he really is just sleeping in the regular compartment rather than a sleeper berth.

Yeah I have completed it, and I really like his teaching style. I’d say it might be a little tough if you have absolutely no knowledge of statistics. But as someone who wanted to do a deeper dive into Bayesian stats specifically I found it a good resource. The reason I ended up doing it was precisely because I felt that the section on bayes in most stats courses is too superficial

Think Bayes by Allen Downey is an amazing and free course teaching Bayesian statistics in Python. Save yourself the $50 and try it first: https://allendowney.github.io/ThinkBayes2/

Re:Reddit can't build a better search engine on Thursday February 17, 2022 @12:18PM (#30375785)
I see reddit as a replacement for the old "forum" search function that Google used to have. It's an easy first place to check and see if someone has information able a very specific niche.

An example would be something like the UKVisa subreddit. I want to know if someone else has run into the same issue that I had with the god awful 3rd party visa processing website that the UK have. I'm not able to find that information of Google - the best I can hope for is something along the lines of a general guide for how to process a visa from an immigration law firm. But on Reddit there is almost certainly someone who has run into the exact same issue, as well as others who have been through the process and can answer from first hand knowledge.

Anyone else notice that they gave the driver one star? I get that you don't like uber but it's hardly the drivers fault.
