with the spirit of a 5 year old

to be intellectually dishonest

Ehhhh no

remember when bernie compared US median incomes for blacks and whites? yea.

median means nothing

used in the pay gap too

Medians are supposed used when the sample has too many outliers

it's the just the middle value. Wouldn't the mean be a better option?

average is the best option

thats the most relevant

Thing is most people use them willy nilly

The entire point is to disregard outlier values that would distort averages

Not to replace averages

they just use whatever supports their point

Exactly

Medians have their place but not on their own

Medians are actually considered to be biased estimators in statistics

That's why any statistician worth his salt doesn't use them alone

so did you start working for lyft yet? @radeon

yes i dont even remember mentioning that

how is it?

@radeon
Yeah, you said it a few days ago

ive only taken 2 rides so far ivce been busy

its alright just not very much money on slow hours

and i live far away from where its busy

so far ive made like $4 per trip

Is it worth it?

if you can get one after another yes, but if you have to drive 10 mins just to get there first then no, waste of gas

if you live in a city then yea if not dont bother, you get paid based on demand and if youre having to wander around looking for a ping youre not gonna make any money

the busy part of my city is full of ghetto black people so i dont expect to ever get tipped either

ask literally anyone who has ever had any kind of tip-based job, black people don't tip

its like an unwritten rule

except sometimes restaurants

but any kind of delivery etc, no way

Fuck, I actually tip all the time

Anyway, yeah, seems like you won't be working on it too much

every so often on days im off otherwise no

I don't why the American obsession with having to tip

It's a good thing

At least, I enjoy doing it

I'll tip, if the service deserves it
