    Bit late, but since I don’t see any correct answers here - no a jury is not required here. The judge chose to convene an *advisory* jury here — likely to strengthen the factual fin…

    Not a lawyer but generally it is as you say: "because the trials suck after a while cuz no one remembers anything". It's not fair to have a trial when the evidence is unreliable be…

    Hyperloglog analyses generally assume access to the full data stream, and so are O(n) at a minimum. Perhaps by running hyperloglog on a sublinear sample of the dataset you'd get an…

    You have it precisely backwards. "Developing scenes in which the reader discovers what kind of people they are" is synonymous with "show" and "being told" is literally a form of "t…

    Those aren't redundant or collinear though? Maybe you are surprised they didn't encode this as an integer "num_images"? It is fairly common to one hot encode ordinal variables with…

    Blackberry has thorns and serrated leaves so you can distinguish it fairly easily regardless of season. When there are leaves on the plants there aren't really many plants that are…

    Is this for some subset of our DNA? Quick skim of the article didn't tell me. But there is a popular factoid that human dna is 98.8% similar to chimpanzee dna on average. Is that f…

    The problem I always had with it is that the little symbols are inscrutable, and mouse-over for a description is inconsistent. Because of this I found the ribbon far less discovera…
