> Simpson's paradox is when more button presses lead to more purchases. But then you look at desktop vs mobile and you find out that for both desktop and mobile more clicks doesn't mean more purchases (or worse, more clicks means fewer purchases).
How could more button presses lead to increased conversion rates while hiding this data when comparing desktop and mobile? Wouldn’t you see at least one device type demonstrating higher CVR to reflect aggregate CVR increase?
You can take data where as a whole presses lead to more purchases. Then split it into two halves (like mobile vs desktop) and show that on both halves presses lead to fewer purchases.
The whole paradox is that the intuition we have for averages doesn't apply to correlations.
> But what else is there to measure other than checkout button click count(and follow up purchases) to measure the effect of button color change?
Purchases occur on the checkout page itself. Its design, payment input, and upsells can all impact results, potentially counteracting the button color's effects. You need a clearer hypothesis to address these.
I feared this, but also figured if someone is spamming the channel, then it's time to talk to them about understanding how the product is meant to work and that spamming doesn't help anybody.
The problem I see with the product so far is that all the images appear to be renders, and not actual product shots.
Also the demo video shows shots from what appears to be a drone; is it the actually Nixie, or is it another drone used to exemplify what the Nixie would be able to do?
I'm having some trouble understanding what your product does exactly. The blue check isn't an official verification is it? It's just one chosen by bluecheck, correct?
Is this the same group of people he brought up on the recent episode of The Talk Show? The group that wanted to essentially take away the original credits (or something to that effect) from him?
I don't think anyone wants to take credit away from Gruber. My understanding is that they want to move the language forward. More people than just Gruber use it now. I haven't been following him much recently, but for a long time his attitude was, basically, "You can't change anything without my approval but I'm not going to invest any time in this." The way he has handled Markdown's success over the last few years has not engendered my respect.
Why is it important that the new thing have the old name?
Reducing user confusion is one possible answer, but I expect if you are going to argue that, you end up with the name not mattering because most of the users aren't even aware of it.
People are definitely aware of the name. It would be a complete non-starter to have a name that didn't reference "markdown" in some way when the project is an effort to standardise markdown.
There are certainly a large number of people that are aware of the name, I'm not disputing that.
My point is that there are tens of millions of redditors that aren't. I would also guess most light users of Stack Exchange sites are not very aware of the name.
For all those people, I don't think the name matters. Also, the heavier, more interested users will likely not be disrupted much by a different name.
I'll talk to something that Pillow did for me that I couldn't easily find in other sleep tracking apps: audio recording. For the past couple of months in my new place, I couldn't figure out why that no matter how much sleep I got, I still woke up absolutely drained and tired. Other sleep tracking apps showed nothing out of the ordinary in my sleeping patterns and they even matched previous sleep cycles.
After the first night of using Pillow, I immediately found the problem. I learned that throughout almost the entire night I would go into these throat-scratching fits. The reason the other apps didn't show anything is because my movement didn't change, I would just lay there and scratch my throat. On a recording it sounds like a frog croaking. Except this would go on for 15-20 minute intervals nearly 8 times throughout the night. This was a clear sign of my allergies; whenever I'm awake and up and I knowingly make that sound, it's because something is irritating my allergies to such a degree that "throat-scratching" helps soothe it. Now I take a generic Zyrtec before bed, and I sleep like a baby again.
Now this wasn't a very scientific test (I didn't use Pillow or attempted audio-recording before I moved into the new place), but it showed me how easily this information could help me and my doctors. Now connecting this app, with other health apps I use on a whim (weight-tracking, food-tracking, etc). I could make correlations (but not causations) into what could be making me "sick".
To the poster who said "your body knows how to take care of itself", in relation to sleep, that really isn't true for me. From someone who suffers from multiple things that directly affect my sleep, I can tell you my body does not know how to take care of itself. Apps integerating with each other will help find more data relevant to one other than most of us realize. Trying new things, and see how we are affected by them, with data to back it up, will be greatly helpful.
