The Math SAT is mostly straight out of the standard math curriculum. The subject tests are similar.

This was downvoted because it's a disingenuous reply. Obviously, OP was not arguing that SAT can't be gamed.

This is a baseless generalization of men. Men are not an obstacle to a 32 hour work week.

This conversation seems to be geared towards upper middle class, dual income professionals that usually have $150,000+ household income. It's difficult for me to sympathize and see these issues as more than entitlement. First, since ho

I'm disappointed that they didn't look at the very obvious input into insurance risk models: crime rate. It's very dishonest since it's very obvious. Either complete incompetence or dishonesty.

It's hard enough such that schools have to lower their SAT standards to accept underrepresented minorities. Otherwise, for non-URMs, the top schools do agree with you. SAT (and school GPA) are usually used in threshold-y way with other

Do banks actually buy location data from carriers?

by underpand 7y ago
Yes, there are a lot of malicious actors that actually sell data (apps, browser extensions, phone carriers, potentially ISPs, finance companies, etc.). Many of these actors even sell un-anonymized data. The big tech companies are very low

Wouldn't you want people who care enough about their career to cram? That itself is a good signal. Cramming algorithms problems is difficult and succeeding shows grit. It also selects against sociopaths who BS their way through subject

That comes with some trade-offs. 1. Having a spouse who does not have the cultural knowledge, similar interests, empathy or language skills to communicate with your family is an issue. Her choice to date a white man is in a sense a rejectio

Some positives of books: Books are widely vetted but it is difficult to find quality online content. Books work your long form attention but much online content is self contained and shallow.

Where's their $100+ million fine though? Why aren't they getting fined like the US-based tech companies?

The curse of the bottom 1%. This is why we can't have nice things. The bottom 1% in terms of behavior/ethics always ruins it for everyone else.

> At the end of the day, is all this measuring anything other than trends in filling up questionnaires? I get that sense that this makes up a bulk of social science research. This would be a criticism of the field as a whole.
