It's just a bad summery of the data. It's that half fall below the 92% rate for herd immunity. Not that half are below average, and even then you'd be making the mistake of assuming that the Average is Normally distributed because that's the only time the Average is supposed to equal the Median other than by pure chance.

Really? South Carolina Public Schools vaccination rate is 98.1%, but for Private Schools it is 96.02% For New York public schools are 99% and private schools are 88%. So you really expect me to believe that there is no correlation at all with being rich enough to afford private school, and poor enough to be stuck in public school?

So if I create a fake facebook page for each of their inmates and have each of them auto update the status once a day then they'll never get out of jail?

Something closer to this?
void func () {
for(int i=0; i if(!AquireResource(i)){
Cleanup();
return;
}
}
DoStuff();
Cleanup();
return;
}

Goto messes with readability and long term maintenance. Anyone who uses Goto is probably going to use it correctly. Otherwise you wouldn't use it. But you use it to construct loops, and functions which is unnecessary and illegible compared to every other option.

Yea, but targeting HS age girls to get them up to speed take 4 to 10 years to see if you have any payout. Fixing the drop out issue has an immediate effect in 2 years.

Same result could be done by addressing the drop out rate among men.

This isn't about equality, or fairness. If it was then the same people should be trying to fix the problem with the male dropout rate between their Associates and Bachelors degrees that's created a fairly wide education gap in women's favor. The drop out rate gap started in 1996, and there is plenty of data to look at to show how, and possibly why it became existent. But no, because Women fled CS faster in the 80's then men did we have to waist our time on an issue that's much harder to understand, and without understanding is much harder to address.

I'm pretty sure a bank could say that. It wouldn't be a bank much longer after that, and your new bank a-la the FDIC you'd at least have your insured money back. I don't believe anyone's had any significant loss of funds under the FDIC umbrella. Only a few days separated from your cash as they part out the failed bank.

I don't like this subject because it tends to give my crazy libertarian bosses arguments a point of validity. Every time a contract comes up to bid the Minority Business Subsidies are used as a sticking point to force the admins, one of which is my boss, to bid lower on a contract then they would really want, or subcontract out to qualify for the contract. How you'd even account for this in any psudo "study" like this one is beyond me. The data's not easily accessible, and most people don't want to expose the back end of their bidding process to avoid a competitor figuring out how to undercut them. Personally I'd try to look at revenue by source per employee since Government contracts tend to lean more to the Minority Business Subsidies side of the equation, but even then that's not going to expose the White Men who had to bid lower just to get the contract. Unless you accept this study as such evidence, but that's why I don't particularly like these psudo "studies". You can always twist them to whatever you want them to be.

Or did the admin mess up the config files, and he's more than happy to let Lizard-Squad-we-claim-responsibility-more-often-than-North-Korea take the credit.

You're right. I focused on what he's actually done for Valve which is make a gamblers economy which is eerily similar to what John Law did.

I don't really want to compare Yanis to a gambling murderer, but I am anyways. This sounds a bit too much like John Law getting appointed to fix the French Economy. That turned out great for everyone didn't it. Appointing someone to run your economy who's primary job in economics was to make a bunch of gambling addicts to improve steams revenue doesn't sound like the kind of person who should be fixing an economy. But who knows, maybe he'll do something good and be crowned a genius.

Clearly my English Language Compiler is based off of VB and auto corrected my syntax to rigid in my head. Hence the problem with "human" readable programming languages. We can be very vague, and still garner meaning from it. As if C weren't readable by humans. I swear I pass the Turing test, but someone thinks that just because I recognize logical blocks with braces, and understand case sensitivity that somehow I must be a machine to understand C. An example of a VB related problem is that they have a nasty habit of not ending lines with a semicolon. This is fine in VB, but languages like C, and java require them. It doesn't sound like too much of an issue, but it's easier to have the habit of ending your lines correctly in the beginning then to learn it after you've already learned to build competent programs. This make it so that a VB programmer will have a difficult time moving to OS level coding. The local college has this problem because they don't teach C to start, and the first time any of their CS majors see C is when they start down the OS path. They get confused because they've never seen pointers, or been forced to do even basic debugging of minor errors. Kinda explains whey they only had ONE CS graduate one year.

VB has always been a horrible place to start. Any programming language that doesn't have a ridged syntax structure like C is a bad place to start. It teaches sloppy habits, and makes it so you have to get rid of those habits if you want to move up into a more ridged language. C is an excellent place to start. Python is ok as a language, but makes the same sin as VB by trying to make things more "human" readable thus I believe it would have a similar effect. However, since my experience with this is limited to when VB as the idiots intro to programming I've never seen what happens when someone learns Python first. Again, C is an excellent place to start.
