Google Trends, meaning 100% is the highest value and everything else is in relation to that. Meaning 50% would be half as much as the highest value.

Oh come on bro you gotta be l33t /s

What’s happened to western Washington / tri county area around Seattle is completely disgusting. Everything historical or with any character or uniqueness demolished for land value, trees cleared and bulldozed, wildlife displaced while Karen calls 911 about a bear in her driveway (no shit, your new house is in his old house), ugly expensive McMansions and apodments and fake and bake subdivisions being snapped up for cash by corporations to sit there empty, widescale gentrification, the area natives being priced out, homelessness and tent cities everywhere, vomit and pee and shit on the sidewalks, drug use, crime and theft at a high, rushed urban density around new rail lines, idiot transplant drivers in their Teslas and dang freaking Polestars that lean on their horns constantly and cant drive in the weather….

Hi. I got a bit carried away. I may be slightly bitter at the “growth”. Get off my lawn.

You are welcome!

For your specific research questions you could just use a GRE math section as a proxy for IQ (should be decent in the context of software engineering students).

With respect to the Big 5, its fascinating when you dig into it and particularly look at the sub-aspects (ie conscientious breaks down into industriousness and orderliness)

The nerd in me wants you to graph them against each other with a regression line to see how they might correlate

That’s the point

This is cool. Made me look up Tygarts Valley HS to see wtf was going on there

I bet Hundred HS’ team is made up of a preponderance of left-handers.

One of things that has always baffled me about baseball is the lack of uniformity in sizes and shapes of baseball fields.

That’s what I was thinking, the percentages are pure bs

We need a control group, maybe students in another discipline. We can't tell if this effect is specific to software engineer, or whether teenage boys are just more self confident in general.

Given our cultural leanings/assumptions, that just makes sense.

California’s population this year is lower than it was in 2016. So why the hell has the median house price nearly doubled in that time???

At this point, I don't really mind either way, because I don't plan on moving anytime soon. I'm just glad it stayed the way it was until we could buy.

The job description data is from Kaggle, which only included 2017-18.

Why would you spell phone with a zero

Doesn't account for changes in housing type over time or inflation, so this shows mostly those two things, rather than anything about the housing market...

But now you bought the house do you want the prices to boom

Thanks for the comment. Sorry about that, little mistake on the face vs feel in the title there.

What you said would be really nice to measure. Unfortunately (or fortunately but let's not get into that debate), we don't have widespread use of standardized tests in Canada which makes these comparisons more difficult. I took a psychology course last year, and I'm nowhere near competent in that field but it's interesting to hear about your point of view regarding the potential correlation with the Big 5.

What are the percentages of?

How is renting a solution though? Rents are skyrocketing everywhere as well. Who do you think is bringing cash to this table and pouring it into speculators’ pockets? Renters.

Yay migrate out to those red states and flip em people. God knows that cheap housing prices are just about the only reason to move there.

Why would you make your analysis with 2018 data which is likely heavily outdated at this point? Also, why didint you include other cloud platforms?
