Overnight Open Thread (11-16-2015)Well after last night's rather pathetic ONT performance I was tempted to just repost it again and call it a night. But instead I'm just giving you this - which is really more than you deserve. The Gods of the Copybook Headings
Lefty Journalists Quietly Retconning Their Pro-Refugee Pre-Attack Articles So Who Are the Eagles of Death Metal? They're an American band who despite their name are not death metal in the least. Why was their concert targeted by the terrorists? No one really has a good theory other than that they were American and the popular show happened to be scheduled the same night as the rest of the attacks. Sadly their merchandise manager, Nick Alexander, was one of the victims of the Paris attack. Ted Cruz Knows His Princess Bride And can recite it from memory - with the correct voices. Now Might Be a Good Time to Cash Out Your DraftKings Account Why GPS Always Overestimates Distances Have you had a suspicion that your GPS app is overestimating the distance traveled? It is something that runners and walkers complain about a lot. If so, you are probably correct -- but the reason isn't an algorithmic glitch. The answer lies in the statistics, and it is a strange story. If you make a measurement and it is subject to a random unbiased error, then you generally are safe in assuming that the random component will make the quantity larger as often as it makes it smaller. Researchers at the University of Salzburg (UoS), Salzburg Forschungsgesellchaft (SFG), and the Delft University of Technology have done some fairly simple calculations that prove that this is not the case for GPS distance measurement. Consider the distance between two points - this is along a straight line, and hence it is the shortest distance. Now add some unbiased random noise, and guess what? This tends to increase the distance. So unbiased errors in position give rise to a biased overestimate of the distance. There is an exact formula for the bias and in some cases it can be more than 20%. Is there a solution? Perhaps using velocity measurements and time to work out distance is better - it isn't biased in the same way, but how accurate it could be remains to be seen. So when your fitness band tells you you have run a 4-minute mile - don't believe it. Kate Upton - Now Bigger Than Ever? There's rumors going around that Kate Upton is fat. It's not a rumor so much as an observation made by people to scared to call it a fact. She's getting thick again, even post-Photoshop. The bigger questions is who cares? I was going to say, just how gay are you, but not after France. Why don't you make a list of all the times you turned down a good looking woman because she was a bit chunky? If you've got an exercise counter on your wrist you're not in this conversation. The Yahoo AoSHQ group - it's got electrolytes and shit. And my twitter thang. Tonight's post brought to you by this blank space:
