Ordered the book?

May I interest you in my latest book, "how to make people buy empty books for $10" for $10?

Let's stay in the same line of lame jokes:

The Scottish mutation of coronavirus.

A puck is moving in a circle of radius r0 with a constant speed v0 on a level frictionless table.

Where is that "Buy it Now" button when you need it.

- In your opinion, the greatest evil of our time, is it ignorance or indifference?

- I don't know and I don't care.

This is indeed a problem. It shows with one picture how profits are transformed from work to capital. This by itself would be a good idea. Unfortunately, available work is totally differently distributed than available capital is.

How do you define duplicate? What you see is not what we store (I think).

Still, unless the associated admin cost is high, why not allow a few? Sometimes you miss a good one the first time around.

Would you mind me moving it to Science Jokes?

Edit: Solved. I copied it. We have so many duplicates, one more doesn't matter.

How certain are you? Give an estimate.

The variance would be too high.

 

[WWGD]

The variance would be too high.

That's an interesting issue. There is always a random sample guaranteed to fall outside of the confidence interval. You may test your hypothesis of average population height being 69' or 175 cm and just happen to randomly select all members of a basketball team .

I would first take the $p$-th of the total amount of posts as an estimation of posts that do not discuss other posts or are otherwise off-topic. Then I would count the number of repetition reports on the last $M$ pages and assume a tail-heavy distribution $f(X)$ of those reports per page. Then I would calculate the expectation value of repetitions per page to estimate the number of actual repetitions again with an assumption that the $q$-th part of repetitions were unreported.

So $p\, , \,q\, , \,M\, , \,f$ all would be prone to more or less deliberate choices, all changing the variance of my estimation of repetitions. And the parallel thread probably needs other parameters for its calculation.

And with such a model I would still neglect the number of posts occurring in both which is positive due to my previous copy action.

Ahem, is post ##11,439 off topic or is it a lame joke?

It's undecidable. WWKD: What Would Kurt Do? ( A relative of mine, BTW ;) ).

Depends. It is a lame joke. Except for stochastics. For them, it is a lame joke.
