Yes, with a lot of caveats.

Caveats for PredictIt:

- only accessible from USA
- 10% fee on profits
- 5% fee on withdrawals
- 850$ (I think) betting limit per market per person
- In this particular case, you'd want something like "Trump-NO only if Trump-nomination-YES, but there's not actually a direct way to do this, so to utilize the inefficiency, you also have to bet on the nomination? I think.

(These are presumably the main reason why markets aren't better. I think the best thing we had was Augur, which is now dead.)

Caveat for FTX: I've never figured out how to use it

Looking at exams like

A1 0/2
A2 0/10
A3 0/4
A4 0/6
Total 0/22

is quite depressing. Good thing I'll be done with this soon

[silverspawn]

I definitely did things wrong in the second half of the year with that class

[silverspawn]

Ok that was just one exam, here is another

A1 0/2
A2 0/10
A3 0/4
A4 0/6
Total 0/22

[silverspawn]

A1 1/2
A2 0/10
A3 0.5/4
A4 0/6
Total 0/22

(the sense of depression requires more data points to be communicated properly)

[silverspawn]

Since data bases are an incredibly boring not-important topic, I've been rounding up all final grades to at least a 4, even the 5,12. Theoretically defensible as an oral grade. Not sure if that's actually the right thing to do though.

Isn't that 1.5/22?

What? Databases are an exciting and important topic.

yes, forgot to change that. Actually it's 2/22 since that person had half a point transferred from the previous exam

I think you're the first person I've ever met with that opinion

[silverspawn]

Anyway I don't like this rounding up stuff because now I'm in the business of making informal judgments, and I may fall pray to gender bias and whatnot

come to think of it, I wonder if there is data on whether attractive people get better oral grades

[Awaclus]

Databases are, like, so cool. They do all the work for you whenever you need to store and access data that's on a server.

[silverspawn]

this won't make my top 10 list, but sourcing a study by linking to another article that talks about the study is incredibly annoying

[silverspawn]

Anyway, study says attractiveness bias exists only for female students, but by both male and female professors. I'd expect the effect to be larger in highschool than college though.

So is 'you guys' gendered language? I wanna say no. Rainbow Dash uses it in MLP:FIM! Feels natural to use it gender-neutral-way-y

Nate Silver says the roe repeal does matter

Probably the song I've listened to more often than any other

It's gender neutral.

I mean, what is and isn't gendered language is a spectrum. "You guys" isn't massively gendered, but it's more gendered than e.g. "y'all".

[silverspawn]

But the more people use it to refer to girls, the less gendered it gets!

[silverspawn]

I do think that y'all sounds goofy

Thanks for letting us know.

wtf no
