I happened to come across her on 60 Minutes a couple of weeks ago, and that interview seemed awkward and sound-bitey to me. Thinking that she just might not be great at short-form segments I dug a little deeper and found an awesome long-for

Cigna denied my claim for an ER stay for a broken leg because it "wasn't medically necessary". This whole "click and close" thing is so obviously happening that I find it hard to believe that the company is even bot

The primary situation where I find this behavior useful is on the web where I find Country drop-down lists. I am trying to find United States. It could be "United States", "USA", "U.S.A.", "United States o

I recall that it was either old versions of Solitaire or Freecell that had the same issue. I remember intentionally losing games until my points were -32767ish, and it was the first time I experienced integer wraparound as a kid. That'

My primary phone number is a Google Voice number, and I am entirely legitimate. Just curious, how often are other people filtering with this kind of criteria? I have been considering migrating away from GV for unrelated reasons, but if that

There's some interesting discussion in this thread about truncated vs winsorized means. For my own part, this is the first time I've come across either of these terms. I tend to benefit the most from seeing the entire distribution
