Yes, it’s the same concept. The same math/logic behind it doesn’t change. You’re choosing 1/3 or you are choosing 2/3 and I’ll tell you which of the two is incorrect. It’s just easier to visualize with 100 doors instead.
I’m not sure I’m following the other angle…there are 3 correct possibilities at the start but I can only choose 2? Or there are 2 possibilities and then you introduce a 3rd door that is never correct?
Because when you first picked 27, it was 1 out of 100 choices. Then I tell you that you either got it right, or it’s this other number. None of the others are correct, only 27 or 44.
So you think your 1/100 choice was better than the one I’m giving you now? On average, you’ll be right 1% of the time if you don’t switch. If you do switch, you’ll be correct 99% of the time.
Another way to think of it is: you choose 27 or you choose ALL of the other 99 numbers knowing that I’ll tell you that 98 of them are wrong and you’ll be left with the correct one out of that batch. One of those clearly has better odds, no?
Correct, extend it to 10 or 100 choices instead of 3 and it’s easy to see.
Me: Pick a number between 1 and 100.
Them: 27
Me: Okay, the number is either 27 or 44, do you want to change your choice?
Them, somehow: No, changing my choice now still has the same probability of being right as when I made my first choice.
It’s obvious that they should want to change every time.
I really noticed my Spanish improved after watching videos on Dreaming Spanish link
That was exactly my point with the linked xkcd too. Not sure how they interpreted that as being in support of their post.

To consume = to use

I don’t know if they have an app, but it’s worked fine in-browser for me.

I was going to say BMX or dirt bike practice course But the steps and the weird pump thing in the bottom right corner would get in the way.
This is a great resource: https://r4ds.had.co.nz/
It may not help you search for things if you don’t know the correct terminology, but it is definitely helpful walking through examples of common data and visualization needs. Great to skin through for basic concepts and then keep handy as a reference.
Other that that, stack overflow for sure.
Oh interesting! I didn’t realize that. I work tangentially with pharma start ups and development and just assumed they were bought out. I’ve seen that happen enough times that it felt expected. Thanks for the clarification!
Maybe medical? Like, Bio-Ntech designed the COVID vaccine, Pfizer bought it and could wrap up the phase 3 trials and then scale production?
So, they didn’t actually make the product better, but they probably made it viable sooner than if they hadn’t bought it?
But that is kind of the normal process for the medical industry at this point…start ups developing new medicine and then shopping it to Big Pharma for buyouts or funding

I always say this as a joke. I’m pretty sure it’s from the Simpsons, and not an actual historical belief. If you have any source that shows this an old wives tale or folkloric legend, I’d love to see it. That’d make it even funnier to me haha.
Agreed. And I’ve never read anything quite like The Savage Detectives. His short stories are great too, and you can find a lot of them online published by the New Yorker.
