There was once a time when newspapers were never before seen in history. Just as your parents' generation learnt how to detect misinformation in newspapers, they and new generations will learn to detect misinformation in new forms of media. People adapt, we always have. I'm sure when your parents were young or during the early days of journalism, there were problems and misunderstandings when reading newspapers. It didn't really warrant rushing out to end freedom of the press or calling to halt newspapers.
Ah, I see what the issue is here. I typically (used to) work in experimental placebo research, rather than clinical placebo research (I'm a psychologist by trade) so I would be more interested in those studies, rather than clinical trials.

In terms of what's left over after accounting for no treatment, Vase and H&G got into a big academic fight about this, and it appears that the effect size for placebo effects in pain is approximately (d=0.5), which is a relatively large effect (especially within psychology). This doesn't entirely account for experimenter effects, though with the use of a balanced-placebo design, those can be accounted for.

In terms of clinical trials, I would tend to agree with your second definition. Its not perfect, but its as good as it tends to get.

I think that one of the issues with placebo research is this notion of mind-over-matter, in that such a viewpoint is the reason that it is perceived as special, and also a reason why people disbelieve in it.

Based on old research (Levine, 1979) many (but not all) placebo effects in pain appear to be mediated by endogenous opioids,which I would take to mean that they are pretty naturally mediated by the brain, and so its a physical phenomenon. Many people do go a bit crazy with the woo around it though, I do agree.

Funny that this came up today, when I'm currently finalising a hopefully final draft of my thesis on the placebo (PROTIP: never, ever leave your university before submitting a PhD, it tends to go badly).
It would be crazy if they didn't have a color of the day, but then again, humans are not always rational, and it looks like it's not the type of tape that comes off easily--though it's impossible to tell just from a photo.
With the amount these come up, it becomes increasingly difficult not to f* with them. You know they're a scam, but when they come up, it's impossible not to fantasize about your ability to scam the scammer. Who is better? Could you do it?
Yet another closed source, centralized ostensibly private chat client? If it actually gets a decent user base it should probably be bridged, but otherwise I don't really care.
Microsoft intentionally made Netscape (more) unstable and slower, if I recall. is there any reason to think they wouldn't respond to Firefox's growing popularity is to intentionally make it perform poorly? I'm very, very suspicious of Microsoft interacting with Firefox in any way whatsoever. No doubt they'd like to exert control over it in some way.
OkCupid has an extremely interesting blog ( http://blog.okcupid.com/ ), in which they had some statistics on this, but only for women sadly.

It is unfortunate that AIR doesn't get more press action than it already does. If you need to develop client-side apps and are already familiar with web technologies (HTML/JS), you can jump in swimming. You get a brain-dead simple API that adds common OS-related tasks like loading and saving files. And it's completely cross-platform!

My small company builds custom AIR apps for clients in real-time. Take the command-line compiler, a dash of AWS's services and database-driven configuration files and the system builds one-of-a-kind cross-platform apps in seconds. It's the closest thing to fill-in-the-blank software that I've found.
To sum up the derivation for those looking for crib notes; model the problem as choosing k items u.a.r. from [1..N]. Compute P(max = i), and from this compute the expectation of the max. After simpliciation this is given in terms of k and N, and hence we have an estimator for N in terms of k and max.
Thanks for the advice... I am certainly not against paying a good amount for tax advice. The reason I opted not to join the firm I had a the free consultant with was because it was going to cost me 1500 dollars up front + a monthly fee which I simply don't have right now since I'm a student who hasn't started his summer job yet.

Can you (or anyone) recommend a good accountant in the bay area?
Sometimes I feel a little schizophrenic, because writing apps for the browser using Flex makes me want to tear my hair out but writing desktop apps with Flex/AIR is awesome (especially with the Mate framework).

I wish AIR had the native processes when I was building Naughty America Direct, one of the big things I wanted to be able to do was automatically add the videos to iTunes after they were downloaded.
This is one of the final experiments. DupDetector found some information, and using that I've deliberately resubmitted something that was submitted several weeks ago, that I think deserves attention, that gained no attention last time, and at a time that I thought might be more suitable.

DupDetector did find the repetition, but I'm no longer acting on its findings. People seem to resent it too much.
I think it's reasonable to say that React is a UI framework because you have to build your UI within it if you choose it. The author's argument that because it doesn't provide the kitchen sink it isn't a framework, misses the issue that you can have frameworks for subsets of a project. You get UI frameworks (React, Angular), CSS frameworks (Tailwind), backend/API frameworks (GraphQL), etc that only lock in one area.

Pieces of software like OS kernels and browsers run code quadrillions upon quadrillions of times per day and yet still suffer hundreds, if not thousands of critical security vulnerabilities. Testing only demonstrates the presence of bugs, not the absence.

There's a whole field of high-assurance software, with verification, formally-proven compilers with translation validation. Only there is there hope that one can write software and prove it, with a machine-checked proof, correct. Tesla is not that far. Not even close.

But no matter, let's just deploy it anyway.
> As a software engineer, I like solving complex technical problems and learning software, management, and people skills. It doesn't matter to me what I'm doing as long as it's ethical and I can grow.

Now I'm in completely the wrong forum to say this, as this place obviously favors one view, but can you say that building companies just for the purpose of profits is actually ethical?
I think online commentators don't understand how low the general public's bar for "safe" is.

People will be elated if they can buy a car that can chauffeur them around as well as a teenager who's had their learner's permit for two days. At least with the car you're already in the driver's seat and don't need to articulate to it what it's doing wrong. Sure you'll have to keep an eye on it to make sure it's not setting itself up for a situation it can't handle but you have to keep an eye on the teenager too.

Crappy half-baked automation is prevalent the world over in all sorts of situations. The normal, unwashed, much derided masses are perfectly capable of learning its quirks so they can keep it out of trouble. The idea that a car "can't see" bollards or bike lane marking or partial lane obstructions or whatever is not a hard one for people to grasp.

Regarding your app corruption, docset bug, filesystem corruption and general filesystem slowness, are you sure you don't have a bad SSD/HD or bad RAM?
You can, but it's still a good idea to avoid as it tends to confuse some tools (and some people).

I drive a Fiat Panda and I do all of those things. I perhaps spend a bit more time fitting stuff in (kayaks/skis have to go on top obviously).
Agreed. I did a lot of reading about the NT architecture 10+ years ago purely out of interest, and it's pretty amazing.
And I'm saying this as a Linux person.

The only reason Linux is so successful is actually the fact that it's open source. For individuals (like me) because that gives you much more flexibility in customizing the system, tinkering with it, and more importantly, debugging problems and understanding inner workings.

But even for big corps (which are mostly running the show when it comes to Kernel dev these days) it's much easier to whack the Linux kernel into shape for whatever you want to achieve, than trying to work with Microsoft to get what you want from NT.
No, it's what businesses are paying employees for. There's nothing political about it, in the context of actual government politics (and not the abstracted everything-is-political viewpoint).
And where do you keep the trailer? That’s a lost garage spot and many HOAs don’t allow you to leave them parked wherever outside.
My initial thought was that I could probably sketch this thing in CAD in like ten seconds. Rectangle. Triangle. Extrude. I'm sure the person at Tesla to whom that task was assigned enjoyed that aspect of the design.
Urban pickup trucks in particular are very American, but the ever increasing number of SUVs in places like central London is just as absurd, not to mention problematic[0]. I'm guessing one reason Europe favours SUVs over trucks is because the roads are generally much narrower here.

I think there is some cost issue in making the car armored. With a sandwich material it would be way more feasible to put together planar cuts than to cold form them. Armor usually is pretty stiff.
The best word I have for teams is ‘clusterfuck’. The files which were already spread around different locations, now have one more location to be added.

Then there is sharepoint, oh, and onedrive, and they all come in the same package so everyone uses something else.
> I found that to be a curious statement, […] it seems like we're talking about how certain types of behaviour are differentiated from a whole for some reason.

This study is being used to attack the character of people who make bold statements about politics online (See: this thread), on the basis that they do it out of narcissism and power-seeking. I think this study does a very poor job demonstrating that, because they clearly selected for people who are narcissistic and power-seeking, which for all we know is small proportion of people who post about politics online. This is sort of like if I published a study saying "people who post on tech forums are greedy, immoral capitalists," but I selected my group of tech forum-posters by asking "Agree or disagree: I lie to drive interest in my products."

> When does a political belief that someone has become genuine and how do others outside this apparent narcissistic group reflect more noble intention?

You seem to be operating from the very strange assumption that by default, all political statements are made out of narcissism, and that we need some special reason to think that they're genuine. This contradicts how we tend to think in pretty much every other area of life. For instance, if I wrote "Java is the worst language in the world." you would probably assume that I was disliked Java for some reason. You would probably not assume that I was secretly trying to make java programmers feel bad, or that I was trying to suck up to C# programmers, or whatever. Likewise, if someone says "$POLITICIAN is a criminal who should be in jail," my assumption is that they really believe it. There doesn't have to be anything noble about it: it's just normal. People say what they believe.

> My impression for some time has been that genuine concern for any given political topic is a function of the cost in having, revealing, or defending it.

That suggests that only minority opinions are genuine, and moreover that broad, genuine agreement throughout the population is impossible. I think almost the entire United States was genuinely concerned about terrorism the day after 9/11, even though you would probably not lose anything by speaking out against terrorism.
interesting, the Portulaca Oleracea is edible, I wonder if it has the same property and whether we should plant a ton of it.
Do those requests show up as coming from China? I thought it was only people outside China who are being giving the poisoned javascript, and the requests are being made on the client-side from them - which would appear to be just random traffic?

Perhaps Baidu still shows up as the referring URL, though?
If you look at the code the reader does not read the tail. It skips forward reading the length fields. It would never see the writer two message and it never blocks. It just thinks there are no new messages.
So, it's because its the digital equivalent of a 'digital gold standard' that is hard to track and tax (by design). I guess that explains why it rustles many jimmies, even moreso when it keeps gaining value and marketshare.
So, bet's that the recent Apple/Tesla meetings were about Apple joining this?
TSLA up 2% on the news:

Traditional TV and Print News Media gets the most eyeballs when they are controversial. Fox, CNN, MSNBC all do everything they can to coddle their specific segment. They phrase and comment on the news in a way that'll either excite their segment when they think it'll benefit and soften the blow whenever they think it'll hurt.

And no, none of them appeal to a general audience. The ads that each network displays will tell you exactly who their specific audience is.

Twitter's audience is narrow: Most of the people I know (across countries, religions, genders, professions) do not have a Twitter account. So, they make decisions that suit their userbase, which is significantly narrower than Facebook's.

Facebook user base is closer to the general public. Unfortunately, their platform also enables an echo chamber. So, they have a tough job to do and in this regard. They have to be careful about whom to censor. Whatever they choose will be closer the law. I think they're trying their best.
I think the opposite will happen. He will be so sad angry that he will retreat into a world which he can completely control. I bet he will spend that time alone inside one of his gold-plated golf resorts.

I sold bitcoin to pay for Christmas. The downside risk was greater than my perceived upside potential. We might double our money at this point? Triple it? You could do the same with Silver with much less risk.
I think the presence of PS/2 ports is to satisfy gamers – the PS/2 port has a dedicated interrupt line, which (allegedly) gives you lower latency on keypresses than USB, which uses input polling.
Apparently not, in this thread alone, there is plenty of people who disagree let alone harmful.
The MacBook Air, the Mac mini, and the baby Pro are the M1 options right now, so people are trying to bodge them into being something they aren't.

I've heard a lot of stories of people who bought them not expecting to replace a 15" MBP or even iMac with a MacBook Air. Then once the bits hit their shiny new CPU they went whole hog.
How come GitHub isn't using Turbolinks then? Because each link transition will reload the page.
GPU over USB if 3rd party drivers can be had is certainly a technical potential (hell PCIe over Ethernet has been a thing for a while) I just don't know if I'd call it a realistic one or one worth using for this use case if it did arrive. Especially since it seems extremely likely the scaled up iterations will be able to do this properly in short order.

I am curious about the other "USB to PCIe cards" though. I know there are NVMe to USB (non TB) adapters these days but I think that's largely due to the NVMe protocol being transport agnostic not that PCIe is actually interacting over the USB connection.
It’s literally what he has sworn to defend at the inauguration.

Instead we got this tweet “Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election," he tweeted. "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"

He has sworn duty to not incite the crowd, no matter how much he thinks he has lost. That’s what the courts are for (which he tried and lost) and even many,many recounts (which didn’t move the needle noticeably) and that is what the democratic process is for.
From your website:

"Admit Nothing. Deny Everything. Make Counter-Accusations"

Why am I not surprised to see this kind of instinctive reaction. I don't want to debate your points because that is way out of scope for this thread and I don't want to be chased out.
I have a friend who does graphic and video design. He gets jobs occasionally (via several layers of subcontracting) for "alien operating system and interface video" and the like, which have appeared in a few movies. He showed me the brief for one once, and it was pretty interesting. A while different kind of design work than what I'm used to seeing.

that is only 10 percent of functionality. Another features are service discovery (docker, k8, bare metal), link optimization, visibility and monitoring, SDK and Network as Code tooling, API to manage your service connectivity and more will come.
And the IRS is totally cool with you selling thousands of dollars of gift cards each week with no corresponding invoices on how you obtained them? Money laundering business tend to be cash based with high margins (eg. car wash), so you only need to buy $10 worth of supplies to launder $1000 worth of cash.
It's your call really, but a website owner tracking you with their own software on their own Matomo instance is not the problem. This is essentially the same as monitoring website logs... that's not disgusting at all.
I didn't see anything in that piece that suggested Degas was guilty of anything other than documenting what he saw - and more truthfully than others might have done.
The lurking silhouette looks pretty ominous to me.

EDIT: Well, I kept reading. Guy actually sounds like a nightmare.
Several use cases, of course more number of npm packages also easier concurrency, much more shorter syntax for async/promises, with ES6 you get closer to functional programming like map reduce etc. Also you can add or escape typing using Typescript. Single threaded architecture is a boon and good fit for web app middlewares. In golang sometimes you have to work too hard to get typings correct, concurrency is not straight forward in my view and error handling requires lot of repetitive code etc and of course lesser number of packages and difficult to hire developers.
Probably because Go indentation and spacing can be a little annoying at first when you're used to Python (or simply because they followed some kind of generic coding standard).

It took me a while to "give up" and find fmt-massaged code natural.
I launched Feedback Army on HN in 2008. It's consistently paid my part of my Washington, DC rent for years. I gave some details about how I marketed it on its blog and in the side projects book someone put together awhile ago. Sadly, I can't find a link to the side projects book or I'd post it here.

http://blog.feedbackarmy.com/

I owe a lot to Feedback Army. It was the first thing I made where I made money without putting an hourly value on a unit of my time. I learned to think of my business as a system for fulfilling what I promised and collecting money from customers. This side project was a great way to cut my teeth on some business and service fundamentals.
I went to a demo day at the Iron Yard in Atlanta with the intent to find junior developers. Several of the RoR guys had some previous programming experience and did the bootcamp to learn RoR (unfortunately we weren't hiring Rails engineers). The iOS developers showed some promise, but definitely weren't quite hirable. They had a really great start and I asked several of them to contact me in about a year.
For the request on the homepage for a Homebrew formula:

Ya, but none of them are really willing to do so, plus, the standard of questions of the Olympiad has risen highly over the last few years. I'm searching for anyone willing to help me learn algprithms and also provide support to me during problem solving...
Note that Guido's proposal doesn't add any syntax changes. The idea is not to modify the language but rather to have a unified format for defining type annotations. Function annotations have been there for many years now, and the only thing that will be added for now is some support in the standard library for the objects that will be used as type annotations.
Why would you code in Javascript on the JVM to begin with if you have existing projects and libraries written in java ? that's stupid. If the goal is async IO there is Vert.x and other non blocking servers already. Not even talking about cases when libs require C++ extensions... Can you code in Java on Nodyn? no

EDIT : seems to be built upon Vert.x ? you can already code in javascript with Vert.x
> This isn't why it's going to be popular for plugin development though. Sublime plugins are Python, which isn't that hard to learn.

Agreed, but Javascript has many more developers who know JS over Python. From my initial glance at the docs the learning curve for package development isn't too steep either.
Thanks. I'd totally missed that.
I have an unconventional setup of Jupyterlab, Python dependencies, Swift (through PythonKit package) with Bazel. Surprisingly, the new `rules_python` and `pip_install` support works great at installing packages through pip. This ensures on any machine, I will have a consistent Python runtime (either downloaded or build from the source), as well as the pinned python dependencies when the repo checked out. It also helps because I have a Swift kernel that packaged inside the repo as well.

One thing I haven't figured out is about Jupyterlab's extension system, which previously requires node.js for delivery. It seems 3.0 removed that requirement, so I am hopeful with some tuning I can deliver the plugins in consistent way as well.
Great read ^.^
This data point is not useful without knowing the failure rate for each of them.

For example, the Sun is a single point of failure for us each day. ...but the odds of the Sun being destroyed per day are so infinitesimally small, that it's not meaningful to say I have a single point of failure each day for the next 20,000 days.

Hi Michelle, I was wondering if you had tried the Tyler Twist or the reverse Tyler Twist. I had tennis elbow and golfer's elbow and nothing worked until I tried those exercises.
Better expensive than unavailable.

Banks are probably cheapest (but they also make a lot of money on the exchange rate), WU and Xoom are more expensive but will reach a lot of weird places. If you can't use international banking then this may be a viable option for you.
