Reference class forecasting

There are different meanings for each word that is said in a language. Especially the English language. While Precession may have been looked at as angles of torque for physics or body mechanics; in astronomy precession refers to any of several slow changes in an astronomical body's rotational or orbital parameters. An example would be the steady change in the orientation of the axis of rotation of the Earth. How the earth rotates and what angle it is at changes many things. The sky we see today…

If the weather at the departure airport is below landing minimums an alternate plan of action has to be made, in case plane has to return. There are rules for how far can a takeoff alternate airport be. FAA states that for a two-engine airplane, a takeoff alternate has to be no more than 1 hour of flight with one engine inoperative in still air. For a plane with more than 2 engines, takeoff alternate has to be no more than 2 hours of flight in still air with one engine inoperative. If a…

This article is about how the companies feel really hard to change their customer behavior to green consumption. Some examples of green consumption currently promoted by them are to recycle products or packages, to drive more slowly, or to wash clothes in cold water. However, many people still use hot water even though the detergents are already developed to wash clothes in cold water. Also, some people are still unwilling to sort their waste and recycle them. As a company itself, they have…

Reference Frames were evident when Amanda came to the table to talk. A reference frame is similar to a reference point, it is how “potential outcomes are coded as either gains or losses” (Schweitzer & DeChurch, 2001, pg 101), to a given party. It was decided to bring in someone new to the negotiation because…

Interestingly, unsuspecting operations like 4k aliasing seem to have an impact on performance of hotspot functions. One obvious solution is to increase cache associated with the CPU to reduce cache misses. Implementing IQA algorithms with locality of reference in mind, helps avoid cache misses. Another solution is to divide images into parts. Perform all operations on that part while in cache and then move to next part. Memory overhead caused due to DTLB can be reduced by using large pages…

As it was demonstrated in Figure 2, the peaks at 1703 and 1727 cm-1 in the MPS-comprising nanohybrids appeared, while the peak at 1745 cm-1 vanished. Through the formation of MPS-comprising nanohybrids, the observation of the new absorption bands (1707 and 1727 cm-1 ) concomitant of the absorption at 1733 cm-1 may be owing to the formation of ester groups through the reaction between carboxylic acid groups of PAA oligomers and silanol groups of silica moieties 12. Besides, in SiO2/PAA hybrids,…

One of the most common questions asked to kids is “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Many times in response to this kids will answer with a typical dream job: “I want to be a Firefighter!” However, we can look at that same kid twenty years down the road and find them in a cubicle slaving over spread sheets as opposed to bursting into burning buildings to save lives. The question is why? Why would someone give up his exciting dream job in favor of something so monotonous and ordinary? If…

Given the context of Smoketown, the combination of political philosophy and information processing frames of reference would work best. Political philosophy is the strongest frame at providing an overall policy goal through its dialectic approach. However, it is the weakest of the five frames at providing technical details or a plan of action. Information processing counterbalances the major weakness of political philosophy by being the strongest technical frame since it provides prescriptions…
