  • Traffic-calming efforts in Milwaukee have reduced speeding by an average of 27 percent.

  • Ok, let the numbers be for some specific crime then. I'm just walking folks through the math of where these sorts of claims come from. Not offering a political commentary on under-policing, or over-inclusive definitions of crime, or whatever else.

  • You can't measure actual crimes committed. However, you can make a reasonable guess by factoring in your known unknowns. For example, assume we have a significant sample of reported crimes in a city. Let's pull the number 50/100k people out of our rear end for example purposes.

    As you pointed out, we only have the data from the reports. The total number is known unknown. We could then look at a different data set, like a survey, that says something like 20% of people who are victims of the crime never report it, or 20% of people admit to doing it and not getting caught, whatever the case may be.

    So, we can cross reference those two statistics to estimate that the "real" rate of that crime is closer to 60/100k people. Even though neither study can predict that number individually.

  • You don't need to know every single instance of speeding. You just a good representative sample, and then you can plot your trendline from that. That is how statistics like that are measured.

  • Idk the name for it,but this is a common vibe I see here in my US college town. It is a type of art student that doesn't come from a rich background. I think the best name I think of off the top of my head would be something like "Post tumbler alternative" or "midwestern underground goth" ? Idk, the name doesn't matter. The point is, your people are out there and if you keep looking, you'll find your tribe eventually.

  • How a simple mistake ruined my new PC (and my YouTube channel)

  • Oh shoot! I had no idea she started her own channel. Looks like I got some new videos to binge. She was one of favorites on LTT back in the day. Felt way more grounded and technically competent than the others who felt much more like hobbyist with big budgets rather than skilled professionals. I'm sure they are all amazingly proficient, I'm just talking about their persona on camera.

  • AI has currently captured the public consciousness more than tax codes ever will. My theory is that it offers a simple scapegoat to a complex series of problems, and that is easier for stock trading masses to understand

  • No, you swear an oath to answer honestly during the jury selection process. The lawyers will ask if you have any moral or ethical concerns that would prevent you from convicting the accused - ie you would be willing to engage in jury nullification. If you say no, but you actually do intend to nullify, then you lied under oath and could be found guilty of perjury at that point.
