RawChicken commented on Show HN: Stock Performance of US Senators   govtrades.com/... · Posted by u/bingdig
RawChicken · 6 years ago
I noticed the lowest performance corresponds to a woman senator. I plotted what I think are only all woman senators and they all are under the S&P500 performance.

Maybe someone with better statistical knowledge than me can study if there is a significant difference between man and woman senator stock performance.

Sorry for the off topic comment but this then/than mistake I read every day is just getting on my nerves.

" What to Know: Than and then are different words. Than is used in comparisons as a conjunction, as in "she is younger than I am," and as a preposition, "he is taller than me." Then indicates time. It is used as an adverb, "I lived in Idaho then," noun, "we'll have to wait until then," and adjective, "the then governor."" [1]

Anyone interested on this might also be interested in an mobile app called "Cell Lab: Evolution Sandbox" [1], which does a good take on a cell simulation "game".

For the small phone seekers, I've been eyeing the Sharp Aquos R2 Compact. Its a small phone (like they don't make them any more) with a headphone jack. Only problem in my opinion is the non-replaceable battery. Furthermore, since the phone is sold just in Japan, I'm fearing that the always-on shutter sound will still be active in Europe (I read it was sim dependent)

Much less so than a native application.

Native applications can access the web in less restricted ways than websites.

Native applications have more access to your local machine than websites.

Websites for the win!

What we need is a user friendly browser.

People will find a way.. I see in the future one can subscribe to one of these streaming services for just one month, and then use recording software 24/7 to record all the shows and movies they want to watch in the future. Repeat with another service and slowly build your own database.

2050 is too late. Make it 2025 at the most otherwise no one in power now will have to deal with it, and it's right now that we need to start making big changes.

But then they would have to deal with it.

I was disappointed in the lack of details too (as well as the mis-spelling of Gene Cernan's name). Is the LM in orbit around the sun? In an extended orbit around the Earth's orbital plane? Trapped in orbit around another solar body? That was what I was looking for from the article...

The lack of knowledge in news articles regarding space topics is astounding. If you want to learn more about Snoopy, Scott Manley makes a great video about it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXVYZm9epmU The orbit description starts at 3:30 but the rest is worth a watch, full of interesting footage and data!
