One way people try to tease out those differences is through methods like "Difference in Differences"[1] which try to estimate causal relationships from observational data. These methods are used in marketing analysis as well. In

One small additional point. I completely agree that Jagex has done a great job maintaining OSRS. Polls for changes to OSRS typically require 70% of votes to pass[1] instead of a simple majority. This is part of the reason why it is difficul

You're correct. I was saying that correlation implied either causation or at least a common cause, and you correctly point out that there can be (edit: and frequently are) spurious correlations. The desire to see causal effects is stro

I completely understand your point. Misinterpreting correlation with causation is something that frequently bothers me in writings and discussions. In this case, however, I did find the correlations the author pointed out interesting. I did

I believe this is in reference to Professional Engineering firms, which often requires PEs either as owners or in certain roles. As far as I'm aware software engineers are not required to be Professional Engineers in the US for most ta

I find it fascinating that there are more than 11,000 tax jurisdictions in the USA[0]. I think the comparison is interesting, as I'm sure many of these are ignored by many online retailers. It seems like there are some efforts at stand

I found myself struggling with the intuition of this similarly to amingilani until I made the connection you're mentioning to infinity. The thing that helped me understand the fallacy was understanding how truly large infinity is. If y

This isn't quite what you said, as your comment spoke about the energy industry specifically, but I decided to see if there was any data on people's beliefs about climate change by state. I found this interesting site from a progr

I think you've hit on what always bothers me about this sentiment. It is obvious that at any point in time you can charge the maximum customers are willing to pay, but that allows for disruption through the channels like competition. T

I somewhat disagree with the idea that a Big Corp reduces your learning opportunity. I work for one of the big companies, and one benefit I don't see highlighted frequently is changing specialties. I have worked in 4 different job fami

Current Amazonian, my opinions are my own. I love the emphasis on writing these papers to drive a meeting, and 6 pages is an upper limit. I personally prefer trying to condense it to 1 page. I will sometimes need get Product, Tech, and Ops

This appears to be another scalability vs human intervention argument that occurs commonly in public and private enterprises. I think much of this community favors the scalability side, but forgets that humans are available to provide bette

I really appreciate the cognitive dissonance you're experiencing related to this case. Blindly accepting presumption of innocence, which I support in the justice system, is not something people typically do. This situation seems simila

I have to say, I strongly disagree on this point. I am a coder who works in a variety of languages build on many paradigms, of which SQL is one of my most enjoyable. I agree that the creation of schemas can be painful, but SQL's almost

I think this is okay, but I really hate the current landing page. It would be nice to have a description of the service instead of a message warning you that you are not logged in. Seeing that message I almost went to do something else beca

Both of those languages have seen vast improvements in speed throughout the past ten years. Java 1.4.2 was immensely faster than any previous Java implementation. I would be very interested in seeing this study redone with the newest Java,
