Hey /sci/ I just wrote this article on the metrication of the US. It took me a few hours. I would really appreciate if you guys gave it a read and left a thoughtful comment at the bottom.

Can I hijack this thread for a PCA-question? Anyone in here with robust experience doing PCA and predictions / classifications?

Okay. One question. Would you just leave the answer without sig figs? I believe they're necessary, because they show how human error affects recorded values.

I believe that it's not used on the basis of rational or irrational values.
Also, what do you mean for the following?
>When I am on the topic of notation and measurement I would like to suggest we switch from the Old English system to the metric system and implement a base 62 decimal system.

a radix is inversely proportional with the string length . that is what i mean

Welcome to science. Who do you think read my 160 page thesis on the detection of internal dynamics of the QGP? My advisor and me.
