Clock time and calendar time have duodecimal or sexagesimal orders of magnitude rather than decimal, e.g., a year is 12 months, and a minute is 60 seconds. The smallest meaningful increment of time is the Planck time―the time light takes to traverse the Planck distance, many decimal orders of magnitude smaller than a second. [1]
On 5 January 1975, the 12-bit field that had been used for dates in the TOPS-10 operating system for DEC PDP-10 computers overflowed, in a bug known as "DATE75". The field value was calculated by taking the number of years since 1964, multiplying by 12, adding the number of months since January, multiplying by 31, and adding the number of days since the start of the month; putting 2 12 − 1 ...
Medicaid spending is allocated according to states’ income data—missing low-income voters will make states look richer than they are, resulting in less federal funding. If the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention manages to produce a COVID-19 vaccine, census counts will likely affect the number of doses allocated to each state.
Sampling has lower costs and faster data collection compared to recording data from the entire population (in many cases, collecting the whole population is impossible, like getting sizes of all stars in the universe), and thus, it can provide insights in cases where it is infeasible to measure an entire population.
Most lossless compression programs do two things in sequence: the first step generates a statistical model for the input data, and the second step uses this model to map input data to bit sequences in such a way that "probable" (i.e. frequently encountered) data will produce shorter output than "improbable" data.
A new analysis from the University of Castilla–La Mancha in Spain, which interpreted data from more than 96,000 adults, found that those who took more steps during their day also had fewer ...
Data vault modeling was originally conceived by Dan Linstedt in the 1990s and was released in 2000 as a public domain modeling method. In a series of five articles in The Data Administration Newsletter the basic rules of the Data Vault method are expanded and explained.
Step Up on Second, a homeless housing and services provider, received $2.7 million in future "profit" from the developer of seven state-funded Project Homekey motel conversions, court records say.
