You are an amateur…

You are an amateur. Professionals have armies of staff who do this all day long. Thus, you will always have less information than the person on the other side of the table. Asking for tips on a football board makes no sense.

Buying individual stonks is like playing the casino and people who do that tend to underperform the market by a considerable margin.

Save 20% of your income, buy low-fee index funds, and max out tax advantaged investment vehicles.

I read the paper and this…

I read the paper and this answer is correct.

I think my post made it…

I think my post made it pretty clear that this wasn't a direct quote.

I think Carl T. Bergstrom, Marc Lipsitch, Ellie Murray, and Matt Fox all commented on this paper, and their comments were all in this ball park (could be mistaken about 1 or 2 of those names). Would be pretty easy for you to find if you cared enough.

Can't speak to the mechanism…

Can't speak to the mechanism, but my understanding was that the hype surrounding HCQ therapy was mostly due to this paper:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.22.20040758v2

However, this study has been severely criticized, notably for its tiny sample size, and for other research design weirdness (e.g., one of the treatment arms seems to vanish from the discussion of results). The serious epi people I follow on twitter don't seem to think it has much credence. Their attitude seems to be "There's no credible evidence right now. It's worth investigating, but irresponsible to promote it."

Do you share this view?

Stringfellow catch is amazing

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

That catch at 17m25s is spectacular.

This is amazing. Thanks!

Not a cash gift

don't forget the avatar

also an abomination

Wonderful

Instant classic.

Best one yet?

Love the texture.

This is such a great feature

I'm really glad you guys brought Steve on board. I love his no-nonsense approach.

The first movie which came to mind when I read your title

was Strange Brew. No joke!

Labor laws

Can the NCAA legally prevent coaches from taking outside employment?

So you're saying there's a chance?

So you're saying there's a chance?

You're absolutely right

Putting people's lives at risk with a 4,000lbs weapon is way worse than "striking a student".

Nice

This is really cool. I've been wanting to try out d3js for a while, but start up costs seem a bit too high to justify moving away from ggplot. Perhaps next summer I'll invest a few days to learn it.

 

Thanks for sharing.

People's choice only counts for 1/17 of the final result

Seems like a waste of time...

that would be fantastic

How good is the competition there?

Glanced at the Hudl video and it looks like he's going untouched every snap. Is he that good at finding holes?

Prerogative?

They don't count their first loss as part of the season record, because "that's their prerogative"?

Good luck

I feel for your and wish for the hard times to be over. Good luck and enjoy the game!

Right on.

That'll teach me to half-read stuff while at work.

Intro to Stats Fallacy #1

You're regressing x on x + noise. Of course the relationship's gonna be positive!

RYPR = (receiving yards / total team plays) * Passing S&P+

receiving yards = f(# of targets), with f defined as a function with good linear approximation.

Multiplying by (s&p/plays) introduces noise but does not fix the fallacious reasoning.

 

Interesting perspective

Thanks!

Were Stanford practices also 4 hours?

Does anyone know?

Yes you should

insightful or interesting You know, not every rant is interesting or insightful. Some are neither.
Right

I was mostly joking, but I guess this didn't come out too well in writing.

friends

A lot of my grad student friends lived on the west side, just before Wasthenaw Dairy, or in Kerry town (north of campus). All walking distance to the diag, and reasonable rent.

Just tell her to avoid the neighborhood south of campus (basically between the diag and the stadium). It's full of dirty, dirty undergrads.

Just sent an email about this to [email protected]

Hopefully his inbox isn't flooded by those requests...

Same drive

Made the same drive a month ago. Sucks.
