Eek my bad - I wasn’t remembering correctly … about 27 panels for 11.2kw system. About 2800sqft single story home.

wooden power line poles are called "hydro poles" in canada because they are associated with hydro-electric power.

it is actually questionable whether ethanol is actually better. it takes a lot of energy to produce and transport. some studies actually have it being worse than gasoline.

I feel like a better context would be how this data compares to the total number of police interactions by race. I feel like we can disregard the geography for a moment and just focus on the people involved with the police, since it doesn't really matter to the population that never interacts with them.

You never hear about the native Americans...wonder why ?

Yes. And then they wait four weeks to see if the taster starts growing excessive body hair, or udders, or makes a lot of "moo" sounds.

"In the absence of [Variable], the results would be the same across [Variable]."
Technically correct, but the statement is meaningless. The assumption that we can reliably design statistical controls for something as pervasive to society as racial differences is rather optimistic, to say the least

One piece of context you're losing is that the us population is not an equal distribution across all cities and police involved shootings occur more often in larger communities. You'd need to check the population subsets for the demographics of those communities to figure out if there is significance.

Probably (hopefully) just a random colour scheme that is not too great.

Did this control for behavior, possession of weapon, or nature of the suspected crime?
Racial differences can mean lots of things

Reply to comment by Belnak in My income versus my effective tax rate each year since graduating college [OC] by sea_dev
Schedule A is the form you use to figure out your itemized deductions, I worked through all of that and it was less than the standard deduction. The real limiting factor is that state and local taxes are capped at $10k. If I had made more charitable donations, I would have been able to have more deductions, but at the end of the day, that's still more money out of my pocket.
EDIT: Only medical expenses over 7.5% of your income is deductible and the interest I pay on my home isn't enough to eclipse the standard deduction.

This is the good stuff, what the sub should be full of. Infographics are trash. Show the beauty in the data itself.

Data source: The Washington Post Fatal Force Database.
Analysis and visualization: R
Comments: The aim of the plot is to show the differences in fatal police encounters across races, after adjusting for population size, and how the trend has evolved over time. The denominator is the race and year specific population. The differences in rates are explained by both differences in number of encounters, and how deadly those encounters are.

Yeah I'd agree. There's like 4 reasonable ways to sort this (female expectancy, male expectancy, difference, or alphabetical) and difference seems like the most obvious given the reason these were separated out. Even if it's a bit uglier.

The Veil of Darkness study also shows that just by being black, someone is more likely to be pulled over by police. This suggests to me that a persons race alone, is a factor which influence how much contact one has with the law.
> The Stanford team decided to repeat the analysis using the much larger dataset that they had gathered. First, they narrowed the range of variables they had to analyze by choosing a specific time of day -- around 7 p.m. -- when the probable causes for a stop were more or less constant. Next, they took advantage of the fact that, in the months before and after daylight saving time each year, the sky gets a little darker or lighter, day by day. Because they had such a massive database, the researchers were able to find 113,000 traffic stops, from all of the locations in their database, that occurred on those days, before or after clocks sprang forward or fell back, when the sky was growing darker or lighter at around 7 p.m. local time.
>This dataset provided a statistically valid sample with two important variables -- the race of the driver being stopped, and the darkness of the sky at around 7 p.m. The analysis left no doubt that the darker it got, the less likely it became that a black driver would be stopped. The reverse was true when the sky was lighter.

Is this data available, breaking out whether the individual in question was armed at the time of shooting by police or not?

Just Googled TN and according to the sources you list, Coal is still the largest producer of energy in the state. 🤷♂️

As someone from Madison, please take them back. I don't need to be driving any further to get to a dispensary. I propose we give you back what you lost, plus Rock County. It'll save Madisonians an extra 30 minutes to buy weed.

more than that. A lot of places it's a hydro bill, not power/eletric(ity) bill.
