Study hard is good advice as long as you know your limits and don't overdo it; too much work and no fun eventually leads to a high level of stress and procrastination, so make sure that your study routine is stable (you can keep it for a long time without any issues).

I find that online classes, at least in programming, are much more interactive than it'd be possible in a physical university, and I'm sure that the same could be done for other subjects. After a theoretical presentation, the course can make you complete some exercises to make sure that you've...

Respect can be very superficial - you may be respected by people who you don't even know.

If your data has outliers, or if it violates any assumptions of the OLS regression, and provided you are looking for a binary answer, it could be a good idea to transform the response variable to a binary one and do a logistic regression instead. It would be interesting to compare both though!

What's the point of this discussion? These broad terms aren't defined precisely, and people don't use the definitions being given here.

Why do you suspect that to be the case? There is no need for an out of the ordinary/genius brain to become rich.

It can be proven why that makes for a $$1-\alpha$$ confidence interval for X. This involves: 1) Proving that $$(n-1)s/n$$ is a chi-squared random variable (this is because s is a random variable where normal random variables are squared) 2) Proving $$\sqrt{n}X/s$$ is a t-student random variable...

You need to see what kind of jobs you can get in your area of residence, or in whatever place you realistically imagine yourself working in, and what they're looking for in candidates. Why would you spend 2+ years taking a master's, if, in the end, you can't do anything with it? It's better to...

I think the goal was to show that people with authority will in time begin to show "evil behavior", and because the researchers, or other people in charge of the research, taught the pretend guards to be evil, it's considered to be a fraud. Though the experiment was badly designed on top of that...

That reminds me of a job I had before as a forest watchman where 99% of the time I had nothing to do. Just take your laptop, work on your own things, and get paid for that. However, if you think that there may be a more interesting opportunity, you should really make sure that you'd still get...

What would be the reasoning behind it? To keep the confidence interval as narrow as possible, we should be minimizing the coefficient of variation of the regression's estimator (=regression coefficient estimator's standard deviation/coefficient estimate), right?

That's a bogus IQ test. I've seen it before on another forum, and people were taking all the wrong answers and still getting a good score.

I think they had broken up already before he saw that photo of her with another man. It's sad because with all the money and fame he had, he even could've gotten a much better-looking girl than that one, and a more faithful one too.

Some complex problems in Physics can only be solved computationally, and in that sense, computers help you understand the natural phenomena. If your question is, however, if computers can develop the theories themselves - it's possible, but that is yet to be seen AFAIK.

If it's an easy question, the lifelines order is irrelevant - the public will get it right anyway. If it's a hard question, by using Ask the Audience first, as you said, will spread out the "guessers" and the right answer should get more chances to get a higher vote %, than if there were 2...
