@minakimes analytics in abstract works well, but it’s way too basic. An example factoring in risk is, going down 2 TD’s with X time left, gives you Y%chance to win. That downside risk may trump the upside risk, even though upside is more likely outcome say on a 4 and 1 on your own 30.
@minakimes One aspect of football analytics that is never discussed is the concept of situational risk. Mina reported on the financial sector, so she’ll know that downside risk, while less likely than upside risk, is not an equal proposition when making a financial decision. Football…
@minakimes Now that there is a larger sample size in teams who do and do not go for it on 4th downs, has the data shown an uptick in points scored or games won? Just a casual observation, but the games, scores and outcomes don’t seem to have changed based on going for it more often.
@Apatmenttech@SarahTheHaider I can’t vote Democrat for the likes of Kamala Harris for example. The culture war stuff is so absurd. I like most feel politically homeless, and a Republican may be the lesser of two evils in a future election, unless it’s Trump.
@Apatmenttech@SarahTheHaider responsibility crowd. Many minority groups voted Democrat because the party felt more inclusive, even if the values didn’t always align, at least of late. I think many are seeing this and saying, wait, these are not my values. I am Asian. Always voted Democrat. I don’t feel…
@Ganelon778 @SarahTheHaider citizens and has to heavily rely on immigration, specifically from South Asia, East Asia and Eastern Europe. We're telling kids to go to college, but not into fields that will earn them $100K a few years out of college. What the heck?
@Ganelon778 @SarahTheHaider Too many though go to college and not learn a trade. If you go to a 4-year school, and maybe even a private one, and spend $200K and get a history degree, what job are you going to get? The US annually has 2 million job openings in IT, and can only fill about 40% from its...
@SarahTheHaider The idea that kids will learn all these socials skill and be an adult is often cited as a valuable coming of age moment in their lives. You know what is more valuable? Getting your job training in say 2 years and working making a good salary with no debt and being financially...
@627zach@mcuban Honestly ask yourself what assets the Mavericks have they can trade for that will make this a championship roster? KP was supposed to be that guy. Mavs a good enough to make the playoffs, so no lottery pick. What high end free agent could they have acquired in the past 2 years?
@MaxCRoser If you are under 60, relatively healthy with no comorbidities, the odds are near zero, unvaccinated or otherwise. That always seems to be missing in the reporting. I encourage all to get vaccinated, but the way these things are reported are a bit misleading.
@Exceptional_Noa @AndrewYang Yea, but the far right is fringe like the far left. You started by using Republican, which is half the country, and only a small fraction of that group is far right. If you watch or listen to too much “news” it’ll seem a lot more bc they have an incentive to rile ppl up.
@Exceptional_Noa @AndrewYang Well, that’s not true. I would say the left strives for equality and compassion and wants government to play a big role. The right wants individual freedom, free from government, and it’s each person’s responsibility for their lives, education and healthcare included.
