    b) for normalization, fine. 400 >> 260? Plus note that 1 to 9 is more than 3 doublings

    c) outside a low number for 1-4 employees, the rest of the payroll distrib conforms approx to 1/N (every doubling contains same number of dollars)
    a.) I thought that's what you mean by "I assigned them to small biz out of charity." n.b. I was taking the Ben[-lite] position here, arguing that your number was a clear lower bound.

    b.) >> is context specific. A difference of > 50% implies a large deviation from linearity (your objection about irregularities at at the beginning of the distribution aside).

    c.) Yeah, 1/N looks about right.

      I what?

      Is this the part where you try to garner support by twisting other people's posts?

      All I "slapped" MikeH down on is him saying that SCOTUS could expand Title VII restrictions to everyone, as Title VII is purely statutory based on powers given to Congress by the Constitution (not amendments mandating statutes).

        I thought Christians wanted to be discriminated against and oppressed on account of their faith.
        Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

          That non-linearity is only manifested over a much longer logarithmic range than 10-14 vs 15-19

            Either way, as I said: I'd be willing to bet that my crude linear estimator reduced the error on my figure by more than 70%

              Yep, that's what I was referring to.

                    • Personally, I love drama. I love creating it. I love watching it. I especially love drama where I get to call other people idiots and poop all over them.

                        I know, its crazy. I could go away but I don't why? Is is the diplo gaming? Is it some sick sense of loyalty?


                        Ok its not that bad. The WW2 thread is fun. I guess I just got an overdose of Ben and his enablers a min ago its passed. But seriusly guys there are better and more entertaining trolls than Ben.

                        • Thinking about how much I love drama I almost pulled Ben back off ignore just now. I came back to my senses, thankfully.

                            Of course it is since it consists of:

                            Your circle yerk group
                            People just dumb enough to criticze
                            People soo dumb its fun to bait
                            People too dumb & boring to criticze


                            I sometimes wonder how many DL's you have... how many real posters does poly even have? I sometimes feel like everyone else here is a DL of some really really ****ed up dude.
