Yeah, I see that, too, but at least everything else is all smooth curves. The hard angle on the g makes it stick out as super different.

That font is awful. The G looks completely unrelated to any of the other letters.

Content you can consume on the device is treated differently from purchases of anything else.

Fuck most of Microsoft's shit, but this is the only way you can realistically do the real world at any recognizable level of detail at all. You might be able to cache an area with an obscene amount of storage, but it would have to be a pretty constrained flight path at pretty low detail to really work.

You would argue incorrectly. That's not what random means.

You cannot use the central limit theorem in any context where the selection of the small sample is not random. It is not applicable.

It doesn't matter. The core, foundational assumption that the entire thing stands on is the selection is completely random.

It does not apply, and cannot provide valid statistical inferences about the target population, if that is not the case. People who chose to vote are not representative of the population as a whole.

As pro-free-speech as I am, I don't think fraud constitutes "free speech", and using deep fakes to lie about what candidates have said is fraud.

The central limit theorem, would allow for a sample size as small as 500 people randomly distributed to be an accurate representation of a group of trillions,

This is a completely mandatory assumption for the math to work.

The second there is any selection bias at all it completely falls apart.

The percentage of the population that's illiterate is way higher than it has any business being.

Like "can't read at an elementary school level".

For whatever reason I've seen people say they don't consider The Lost Metal a critical part of the second arc (maybe because it happens or was written a few years later?). I would disagree wholeheartedly and think it makes the series. It's what finally pulls the second era to a comparable level to the first era for me.

I'm a big fan of quality leatherbound stuff, though I can't actually afford any of it. I do really enjoy the art on the regular Stormlight books especially, but I just like leather. Warbreaker would also be a good case for a leatherbound version because I don't particularly like that cover.

It's all pretty silly when the reality is that there's not a very good reason to have any physical books because I read them all as audiobooks, but since I started I can't seem to help myself. It's a good thing I have no shelf space or I'd really be in trouble.
