Interesting that #China does so poorly on team sports. #Olympics

@redstarfish Ah, I thought you were doing regressions! I'll look it over later but my initial instinct is that you've figured the odds of all six districts having one but didn't calculate out the remote odds in each of the districts of having all six.

@redstarfish Are you using one less than the sample size? Must reduce sample size by number of variables.

Imagine you are in 1950's America. Segregated 1950's America. And instead of a civil rights movement dominated by peaceful resistance with leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., the movement was defined by radical violence financed by our most fearful enemies. Black ghettos dominated by terrorist organizations who launch missiles at homes and schools, women and children are murdered, and the whole south becomes militarized. In this fictional world the civil rights movement fails because hatred grows. Palestinians face this same end because there is no Mahatma Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr. to lead peaceful resistance. And it would work. Israel is a western-style liberal state. Organized passive resistance calling for full rights and freedom of movement would work, if that was the goal of Palestinian leadership and if they employed peaceful resistance to immoral laws. Sadly, that's not their goal. Their goal is "Us or Them." I feel sorry for sincere Palestinians who suffer such evil and incompetent leadership. #Gaza #Israel #Palestine #Hamas

@aral I'm a parent. I don't ever tell my kids to do as I say or I'll make them suffer but I do tell them that if they stray from the path I provided, they'll inflict on their selves suffering. But I'm also not controlling. If they insist on doing something that'll cause their suffering, I'll be there when they decide to stop. I think your idea of God and suffering could use some realignment.
