This isn't any different than how it works with Amazon, who also uses words like "buy" and "purchase" to represent their permanent rentals of books, music, and movies.

That's the model now.

If you still use the web-based interface to gmail, you aren't that technical.

Old man yells at cloud.

What, you think Google is any better? The war is over. Privacy lost.

Parental education is the amount of education parents have received. Not home schooling.

This study isn't all too different than other similar (but now historical) studies on US populations. True, large panel studies like the NLSY are more traditional panels, but they don't do a good job of tracking between-cohort change over time, like studies in the TFA are well suited to do (with caveats: e.g. no females in this case).

This is just one case that bucks the trend, but it's a serious one.

They're using population level data. You'd compare it to a similar population and make similar socioeconomic adjustments.

For what it is worth, the previous findings were done more or less the same way. This one should have replicated the previous findings, and didn't. Thus the attention.

For those that work in the area, this is something of a big deal.

Worse than $random_toad_02 in New Super Mario Bros.? They simply made different color Toads because they couldn't be bothered to add a real fourth playable character.

Just use different roads. You've got that fancy motor thing and the big round steery thing.

Still no cure for Ubi's stupid design choices.

What? Someone who doesn't get fashion on Slashdot?

The short short version: The US is a classless society, thus we are all bootstrappy working folk at heart. We want to relax in our well-worn worker clothing, even if we don't actually have the time or patience to wear in said clothing ourselves. Or if in fact said clothing is made with ultra light stretchy material instead of heavy cotton duck and wouldn't survive long enough to look right, anyway.

We can thank the boomers for preworn denim. What the hell do you think stone and acid washes were?

No, you don't.

Parent doesn't do data science, I hope.

Here is a pretty big hint, though: The only thing the population of Uber drivers is representative of is Uber drivers. Maybe also we could infer to Lyft drivers.

Which is why he should have used spike strips instead of cones and a tank instead of a bicycle.

Suck it, non tank-drivers.
