    What Are the Pros and Cons of Non-Parametric Methods in Statistics?

    if people are uncomfortable explaining because I should do it by myself, please let me know so I can close this thread. For people doing research who need to tie together knowledge from multiple fields and the resulting drain -> collab and asking questions on forums -> allowable? protocol ->...

    What Are the Pros and Cons of Non-Parametric Methods in Statistics?

    hello okay will make it more narrower for now. Nonparametric methods are geared toward hypothesis testing rather than estimation of effects. ~ okay, i don't follow this one. Secondly whenever people write: Parametric tests assume that the distribution from which the sample is taken is...

    Steam catapult and rotating runway for airports

    once again haven't done the number crunching but supposing for take-off you have a set of LIM or LSM tracks that lead up to a 'nascar track' oval. Planes will enter this oval at appropriate times determined by some scheduling algorithm. There can be separate ovals for international, domestic...

    Steam catapult and rotating runway for airports

    What do people think about this 1. Put steam catapults on all airport runways (or perhaps use Linear Induction Motors) 2. Get the plane to accelerate all the way from the gate following a track, through to launch, so acceleration for take off starts from 'go'. Apply an acceleration...

    Squashing the IQ Curve - A Less Stressful Reality?

    Ok..Finally understand.. You would only allow a reserach program with the intention of augmenting intelligence if you knew that the risk that posed (of smarter criminals being produced and being easily capable of destroying the world) is lesser in magnitude compared to if you did nothing. Unless...

    Overcoming Motivational Challenges in Science: A Scientist's Perspective

    I find that I work best when I am really passionate and believe in what I'm doing but I've been finding that thinking deeply about why I'm doing it and where its going to lead ends up killing my motivation because there are so many unexpected and undesirable outcomes. How do people deal...

    Squashing the IQ Curve - A Less Stressful Reality?

    haha... if I was a really about world domination..i don't think i'd be telling people ideas just like this not that any of them are clever anyway. just curious as usual.

    Squashing the IQ Curve - A Less Stressful Reality?

    If these people actually intend to secretly be good by staging this..and causing the world to then rush to buy the pill..then hopefully they know exactly what their doing because if it went wrong somehow lot of people could get killed. Whoever's selling these pills is going to rake it in.

    Squashing the IQ Curve - A Less Stressful Reality?

    What if it was available in the market and it actually worked and it was cheap? Okay all of these arguments up to now have questioned the merit of this action but I'm thinking this what if some despot or hostile government decided to hand out such 'pills' to all of their citizens and through...

    Squashing the IQ Curve - A Less Stressful Reality?

    Are you saying the best strategy is strongly push for ethically minded people to power and remove support from the 'smart criminals' and forget about intelligence augmentation? Supposing you are saying this, most people are still going to be conned anyway ebcause they can't tell diff between...

    Squashing the IQ Curve - A Less Stressful Reality?

    Mabye not altruism, but ethical enchanement and majority survival oriented even at the expense of self sacrifice.. man.. we might end up becoming robots governed by axioms in the long term future! Perhaps we already are so maybe its not really losing out in any way.

    Squashing the IQ Curve - A Less Stressful Reality?

    No not in U.S. I don't own any device. There'd be much more care about the way this should be handled but I'm just throwing around considerations as they occur to me. Okay I see the hope for building and marketing such a device relatively quickly just vanish now. But maybe there is a case...
