ive never seen it use as the conviction motive though. Thats what confuses me. Its usually a couple second clip with the noise and a location. Theres literally else nothing to go off

I mean, the article suggests that they are using the location and time from shotspotter as the primary evidence against the dude.

I guess i have to read this article better. I use shotspotter every day and Im not able to edit or move anything around. Its another company that handles it. Theyre pretty spot on as well

The issue is that it's a black box and there's obviously room for error and user input.

We should know how much the margin of error is, how often it require human input, what situations are more likely to cause error in inference, etc.

Curious, has there been a similar study comparing people with some college but no degree against people with no college?

Probably, but that has fundamental issues in design, primarily biased selection effects.

Here because the reduction in education was out of the participants control, and you can restrict the analysis to people who entered the uni prior to rule change, but had the rule change shorten their education, you can rule that type of thing out.

Found the problem.

There was no control group, so there's no baseline for comparison. Wage reduction can be explained away by the 2008 economic downturn, otherwise.

Read more of the paper.

There was a control group, differences-in-differences requires it.

is the implication here that HR reads students' transcripts and decides salary based on coursework taken?

if so, lolololol

Author looked into interviews with employers and suggests students performed worse during recruitment, closing doors to higher paying jobs.

Could just be an effect of age, given that a reduction in the number of semesters required is directly confounded. Students just haven't spent as much time while being expected to act like an adult.

More requirements means workers with those criteria met are less replaceable, therefore they're able to demand higher wages. The fact that people with more required credentials under their belts earn more could also be a function of the fact that they are less replaceable. The credentials could be valuable in and of themselves or not.

That's not at all to dismiss the value of education; I just don't think this study proves what this guy on Twitter thinks it does.

I mean, the credentials didn't change from one time point to the next, the requirements for them did. What that suggests is the requirements matter as well, not just the credentials.

Saying that an increase in requirements makes people less replaceable is supporting the point.

So you can shine a light on the brain and see what areas having been activated recently.

You can also do the same thing using near infrared light, and the benefit there is that you can shine the light through skin and skull, so you can noninvasively do this in humans.
