I love this line.

The truth is, I genuinely didn’t realize Frequentists and Bayesians were actual camps of people—all of whom are now emailing me.


Tribalism is so cute when it's not political.


I once saw David Cox interrupt an argument between the two camps at a conf to say something along the lines of Frequentist/Bayesian, whatever gets the job done for the problem at hand. I can't do it justice, but it was very dudely.


It sounds like Randall got bitten by some variant of Poe's law.


He should be doubly cautious of Rule 34 in this case.

How viewer must recognize who are Frequentists and Bayesian in porn? Of course it possible to place tattoos with formulas on bodies or put some blackboards in background (conventional plot about student and teacher?), but can it be more elegant? May be some joke about contraception?


Haven't tried it, but isn't that blocked by Javascript's cross-domain protection?


jQuery fixes that.



Not so much "reimagined" as "an improvement for windows' command prompt" it seems.


What's the deal with EST or PDT? Can't you Americans just use some GMT-n so we can all convert it? Despite most stories being American-based or focussed here, the world does not center around you. Yeah it does on your maps - it's confusing, I know - but no the world is not actually about you.


Hi. I'm the author and I live in France. I used EST for 2 reasons.

1/ Most HN readers can relate to that easily.

2/ GMT doesn't account for daylight savings time.


It's better than HNSearch? Why?


I can not +1 this enough


Because in that case they have no choice. They want to get whatever the store has. Here they can argue with the person taking the video. In fact, the video taker is specifically targeting them, which raises only more questions for the subjects being filmed.


Of course it would be equally disturbing, but what I find disturbing is that any wall-mounted camera could have someone behind it as well. In fact, it could be on display on some URL (google for "google hacks camera").


Omg. After reading other comments, first thing I'd do when I saw a cop with that is pull out my phone and start filming him back.
