This person in the video has built a regression model on Lionel Messi’s (@TeamMessi) longevity and scoring ability and according to it Messi is about 8 standard deviations away from the curve (8 sigma). It is so rare in one tailed probability that the chance for someone like Messi to appear in this world is 1 in 1.61 quadrillion meaning Messi is virtually impossible and mathematically infinitesimally rare

To understand how small a 1 in 1.61 quadrillion chance is, compare it to this: Powerball Jackpot gives you a chance of winning the lottery with roughly 1 in 292 million chance. You are about 5.5 million times more likely to win the Powerball jackpot on a single ticket than to see an 8-sigma event

For comparison you can see image with @Cristiano Ronaldo in the next post, who is also an outlier, but the chance of seeing someone like him is way more likely

Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit

I think a lot about my 180 pivot from crowded events and an array of friends as a critical need to far > appreciation of a wonderful select reliable few (even if contact wanes). So easy for “lots of people are all just too
much”. Age-related social patience battery drain?

The older I get... the more I understand why people disappear into cooking, art, music, gardening, books and quiet lives.

Morocco, in 1777, was the first county in the world to recognize the United States as a sovereign nation.

This is NOT a map of Westeros. This is the result of the clustering 68000 SOS decks to find some trends.

I tested a new way of doing it that distinguishes between sub-color pair variants for more insights. Check the results in my latest Magic Numbers (link ⏬)

If Ireland beat France tomorrow night it will be one of the biggest results in Irish sporting history not just football or womans sports

The fact that a dog took this photo makes it even more impressive.

One of my favorite data journalists is @jburnmurdoch and he is cooking once again with this piece: “In country after country the birth rate plunged after the introduction of smartphones, no matter what the previous trend was…the modern digital media environment has had profound effects on society that have led to a decline in romantic coupling”.

Another of a team was sent to register the name. "What'll I put?" so he was advised "just listen to your heart!".
So he waltzed up, and unironically, registered exactly that.

@Sierkovitz Maybe in lieu of these deck choices, you play MTGA with him, while chewing glass and file a ticket with customer support. Might be more pleasant for all concerned (… JFC that excuse of a resolution you got from them was stomach churning to read!)

🇫🇷 🇮🇪 Le projet Celtic Interconnector lance sa première campagne française de pose de câbles sous-marins en Bretagne avec le navire La Calypso.

🔌 Cette interconnexion HVDC de 700 MW et 575 km reliera La Martyre (France) à l’est de Cork (Irlande) pour échanger de l’électricité entre les deux pays.

⚡️ Il s’agit de la première liaison directe entre l’Irlande et l’Europe continentale, faisant de l’Irlande le 7e pays interconnecté avec la France.

📅 Les travaux terrestres sont à 90 % achevés, avec une mise en service prévue en 2028.

💶 Le projet, d’un coût de 1,6 milliard d’euros dont 530 millions subventionnés par l’UE, renforce la solidarité électrique et la sécurité d’approvisionnement européen.
