@ercadio sadly no tusky wouldnt support it. But it will be fixed in the next few weeks regardless

@hansw@mastodon.social Thats the danger of anecdotal evidence, mixed with a natural case of confirmation bias. You often see things that differ from the overall reality.

I have no doubt you have seen examples of people who were making less money, minimum wage was raised, and they made more, but youa re far less likely to hear or associate the people who lost their jobs when minimum wage increased with the actual minimum wage having increased, and you likely found another reason to justify that loss of work, or perhaps due to confirmation bias didnt not it as significant at all.

We try hard to look at objective data in science and go where the data sends us, but that doesnt mean it has to be blindly followed. If you feel strongly the data is incorrect here, as a scientist or even just a citizen you'd be welcome to explain why and then adjust the model to incorperate and prove out your explanation. But anecdotal evidence is not going to be very convincing up against objective data that doesnt have an opinion of its own.

@timorl yea once i see the raw data ill read through your interpritation having that to compare with as i see your interpritation, and ill offer any counterpoints or agreements as I see them when i go through it.

@timorl no worries, it is a lot harder to follow your interpritations or to evaluate them wtihout it is all.

@hansw@mastodon.social The data shows that as minimum wage increases it results in the poorest and less skilled people being fired and the more well-to-do people with higher education getting more jobs at higher wages. Effectively causing the poor to become poorer and suffer more.

See attached image as a reference to this.

@timorl Can you share the raw results before/along with your interpretation please? I think that would be useful for others to "peer review" your analysis.

@ercadio actually now that I think about it I think mathjax actually supports katex as an engine... i may even be using it already I would need to check.

Ideally server side the latex would be converted to an image and embeded into a post. Sadly mastodon clients however cant render images inline with text as far as I know... I havent tried to see if our markdown rendering can support this (since markdown does).. i kinda suspect it cant but even if it could other servers without markdown support wouldnt be able to see it, though there are a decent number of servers that support markdown (though very few of those are mastodon servers)

@timorl I'd be curious to see the specific responses given, but thats not surprising. When I heard it while it did seem to sound closest to "we want pence" it also wasnt the clearest audio. I noticed this more when i tried to listen for your version of the audio while i couldnt hear what you were hearing i could fool (or not fool as the case may be) my brain into hearing it as unintelligible in certain parts.

Well at least we settled the original issue that it was not a clear cut case of chanting for death.

@ercadio isnt katex for rendering when generating documents, and not or dynamically rendering across html?

@ercadio it works but the markdown support we added makes the formatting weird (you are technically applying it wrong through).. it will be fixed very soon.

@stux I didnt even know floors needed to be managed, is there a ceiling manager too? I'd imagine he is under the ceiling manager in the corporate hierarchy?

It amazes me with all the advanced maths I deal with I am still tripped up with working with percentages in some of their more complicated/advanced settings... figuring out the error percentage of my algorithm is proving more challenging than I had first thought it could be. Have to redo the formula once again...

@dv8 remember according to democrats anything bad that happens is inhereted from trump, anything good is Joe's doing.. The reverse was true under trump, all of his accomplishments must have been inherited from Obama!

@timorl The problem with human interpritation is, as you point out, the bias. People hear what they want to hear.. So what do people want to hear?

@Zest I've seen a lot of different letters added to the end with almost no consensus. LGBT+ and LGBTQ+ are the most common variations though I agree.

Kucky bastard!
