XKCD: Estimation

"They could say 'the connection is probably lost,' but it's more fun to do naive time-averaging to give you hope that if you wait around for 1,163 hours, it will finally finish."

World likes U.S. more because of Obama


New polling data indicates that the world's view of America has drastically improved since President Obama took office. Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan organization, conducted the poll.
"Positive opinions about the United States have returned to higher levels not seen since before President George W. Bush took office in 2001. The Bush presidency marked a steep decline in U.S. popularity overseas, notably after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, because of a perception that the post-9/11 war on terrorism was targeted at Muslims."

How much more evidence do we need?
