This is social science. Mathematics and statistics aren't even relevant.
Yes they are. Get quantitative data, use quantitative methods.
Just because most social 'scientists' are not experts at statistical inference, it doesn't mean it can't be done correctly.
p-values are just a probability of something. Do you experiment well and 'something' makes sense.
So, wait, you seriously think there are people out there who would voluntarily choose to sleep outside, often without any protection from the elements?
Isn't that just called camping?

I don't like change.
> Andrew "bunnie" Huang argues that Moore's Law is slowing and will someday stop,
I think we've been hearing about the end of Moore's law for the last 15 years... inevitably, some process improvement comes along and it all keeps on going.
Yeah, it may "eventually" stop when transistors are built with just 3 atoms. Then will switch over to photonics or quantum, then some weird hyper-dimensional shit.
15 years ago they were talking about some weird 3 dimensional transistor shit.
You were supposed to reply with a lower level abstraction. Please keep up.
Or are they afraid there might not be an encoding for that?
Injury by seacow? Hmm.. "Injury by Cow (Other)". Close enough. Click!
This is another example of government not doing their job. We have needed a single, comprehensive standard for the form and format of Medical Health Records
Why is that the government's job? Shouldn't that be the job of ISO, ANSI, or the AMA (all NGOs)?
As far as I've seen, it's the same government employees attending ISO, ANSI and NIST forums. They are not functionally separate organizations.
Different situation but the same principle. I wrote and maintain point of sale software for my wife's store.
When I make a UI change, I discuss it with the staff first. Implement it. Head to the store and have them try it out. Get feedback on the utility and convenience (or lack thereof) and update the code accordingly. Iterate until the software is smooth and slick. The staff like being in the loop very much.
The UI programmers should be sitting in a patient room in a hospital, interacting with the staff who are using the system and generating changes based on that. In a couple of weeks you'll have a slick system.
It's nice that there's a single international standard for these things.
Why are people bitching about the encodings instead of the stupid UIs and record formats?
Signal levels are another abstraction. Come back when you care about electron band gaps.
I implemented Transputer drivers for OS9 running on a 68k in a VME rack back in the day.
It was a clean, simple and well designed OS.
I program in logic gates you insensitive clod?
I'll stick with cloud and local backups thanks.
Sewer pipe? Can I sftp to a sewer pipe?
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
