Update: Redditors seem genuinely upset about my lack of clarification that this is for one-way streets.  I thought it was vacuously true since In my eyes you can’t park on the “left” side of a two way street.   But I guess many disagree with that.  I hope that clarifies things!

“We decided to get out of the city and were happy with the decision,” said Ms. Porter, who, like her husband, is in her 30s. They loved their beautiful view of Manhattan, the neighborhood’s small scale, the artistic vibe and the relative quiet.  In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Room for a Baby - NYTimes.com

What do you suppose is the expected value of their ages given that they’re both “in their 30s”?

I’d say it’s 36 or 37. My guess is that if they were 33 or under then they’d list their exact ages instead of only the decade…

I’m a big R fan and I’ve come across Revolution Analytics before, but I must say that descriptions like this really don’t help me understand that they do. I think they make a faster and more parallelizable version of R, so why can’t they say that in plain English?
