Found it in the Results section:

On average, 83% of captures were consumed by the cats (88% of invertebrates, 79% of reptiles and amphibians, 78% of mammals and 50% of birds) and the remaining items were left at the site of predation.

For those who don't want to read the actual interesting story about chumbox advertising:

"Anyway, seems like the vegetable is corn."

Total percentages of vegetarian and vegan Americans do appear to be quite low, and they skew more liberal and lower income[1]. I'm not the person you're responding to, and it requires some extrapolation, but the liberal skew does at least suggest that vegetarians may skew "metropolitan" as well.

I got my start by getting a PhD, but that's perhaps not a practical recommendation. In reality though, you might say I started learning ML by reading Mitchell in class: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/mitchell/ftp/mlbo... It's dated, but it's quite approachable and does a great job explaining a lot of the fundamentals.

If you want to approach machine learning from a more statistical perspective, you could also have a look at An Introduction to Statistical Learning to start: http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/ Or if you're more mathematically inclined than the average bear, you could jump directly into The Elements of Statistical Learning: https://web.stanford.edu/~hastie/ElemStatLearn/

If you want something a little more interactive than a book though, you might have a look at Google's free crash course on machine learning: https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/crash-course/... I checked it out briefly maybe six months ago, and it seemed pretty good. It seemed a bit focused on Tensor Flow and some other tools, but that's okay.

I'm pretty sure the chickens tied together on the bike are alive. I imagine it's just a lot easier to transport a bunch of them with a bike when they're tied together like that.

That was a concern of mine too. It seems hard to guess how that might play out in practice though without a lot more information. For example, I wonder how localized the market effects might be. That is, how much do local populations sell chickens to one another, and how much does that affect market equilibrium.

At least one of the reviewers posted separate 5-star reviews for the paid and free version on the same day.

Edit: And on more careful inspection, they do say that they bought the paid version after liking the free version. I may have jumped the gun on that one.

Michael Pryor I think, actually.

I think you mean 3% instead of .03%. Still.

Still no official Datepicker I guess, unless I missed it.

I saw this through a friend on Facebook and it really resonated with me. I'm slowly approaching the completion of my PhD and it occurs to me that I'm not entirely certain what I plan to do with it. At this point though, I'm fairly certain that I don't want to go the R1 route.

I sometimes forget this myself, but I don't really have a master plan. I just do whatever seems most interesting and important to me at any given time, and I really don't think it's too terrible a philosophy. Interestingly, that would make this PhD the longest pet project of my life so far.

Edit: Just noticed that this article was already posted

It may not be illegal to fail a driving exam, but it is illegal to drive without a license. You acquire said license by passing the exam.

For the record, this is not my blog, but a colleague's.
