Great article. I'm not sure that replication itself will solve the problem since Type 1 error rate requires asymptotics. We'd have to run many replications and then show convergence. That'll be broadly cost-prohibitive for all but the most important conclusions. Lower thresholds probably won't do it either. Right now, the only solutions I see are:

a) Baysian methods

b) Fisher's single H hypothesis method

c) Tukey's Exploratory Data Analysis method.

d) All of the above.

This font does not work well at all in small font sizes, at least in Emacs. (ttf, linux mint, no font hinting)

At 4 & 5 point font sizes, there is a TON of whitespace around each character, destroying the text density and visible flow. Though it might be an Emacs rendering quirk as it never quite appears exactly the same as system fonts otherwise.

Liberation Mono is still works the best for me at those font sizes, still being legible and leaving enough pixels varying between similar characters to distinguish them.
I've got half an hour's walk to work every morning. It's a great way to start the day, especially because the route is through a couple of parks. It clears the mind and wakes me up. I really can't imagine living in a place where that wasn't possible.
How about the assumption that the fundamental constants of the universe are not slowly changing day-to-day?

"One neighbourhood in suburban Chicago fought sidewalks so bitterly that it ended up with a walkway stopping pointlessly halfway down a block."

Actually, i've seen that in lots of places. What the hell?

Near my work, for many years, there's been a large complex of buildings for tech workers. A block away across a busy two-lane intersection is a strip mall full of restaurants, mechanics, cleaners, etc. There was no sidewalk of any kind and certainly no pedestrian crossing lights. This year, construction finally started on pedestrian crossing. But i've made the mad dash across four two-lane sections of grass and curbs several times. I still don't get what the hell the city planners were thinking.

Ask HN: How to handle recruiter who insist on knowing the current salary
I had a phone interview with a recruiter for a well funded startup in Singapore.
The recruiter scheduled it after I solved a programming puzzle.

After initial introduction and some details about the company, I said that I am looking for at least x salary (say 100k).
The recruiter asks my current salary which I declined to say. Recruiter asks again and tells that I have to reveal the salary now or later before the offer is made. I declined, told him that it is my policy to not discuss existing salary. We ended the call quickly with the recruiter telling me to email if he ever reconsiders my position.

- How to handle these recruiters who always insist on current salary? It always happens here in Singapore.

- Did I handle it correctly considering that I didn't need the job badly?
I'll just note that the JVM part in that comparison is wrong. The main difference between BEAM and the JVM is that BEAM implements a much larger part of the language's functionality in the runtime, while -- at least for many JVM languages -- that is not the case with the JVM. The JVM -- similarly to the CPU+OS -- directly offers a rather general programming model -- shared memory, kernel threads etc., only with the addition of an optimizing JIT and a GC. BEAM, OTOH, operates at a much higher level, much closer to the Erlang language. It offers a very specific form of GC, a very specific form of shared memory, and a very specific scheduler. All of these -- just like BEAM implements them on the CPU+OS, can be implemented on top of the JVM, which implements a lower level-of-abstraction than BEAM.

The comparison, however, compares BEAM to a programming model (offered by the Java language) that is very close to the JVM's native, low-level, abstraction. That is a lot like comparing Erlang and C, namely comparing two things that are aimed at completely different levels of abstraction. And just like Erlang can be (and is) implemented in C -- which is a lower level language -- so too it can be implemented in Java.

Its preemptive lightweight processes can be implemented in Java, its scheduler can be implemented in Java (both have been, in fact), and even its per-process GC can be implemented in Java (although that's probably unnecessary given new Java GCs).

The reason BEAM is implemented that way is not because it results in a better Erlang runtime, but that a very specific, high-level VM, can yield good(ish -- BEAM is a very slow VM compared to HotSpot or V8) results at relatively little effort because the high-level constraints imposed by the language are used to restrict the scope of the runtime, while the JVM has required a much bigger investment to provide superb result across a wide variety of languages (HotSpot with its next-gen JIT is comparable to V8 at running JavaScript and PyPy at running Python, and not too far behind gcc at running C). The price that BEAM has to pay for that decision is that going beyond the very narrow limits of execution profile it supports well requires implementing the code in C. Which is why most large Erlang applications are mixed Erlang/C applications (Erlang for the control plane, C for the data plane), while JVM applications and library require virtually no native code (aside from the runtime itself, which is also moving more and more functionality to Java -- the next gen JIT is written entirely in Java).

The difference between the JVM (at least HotSpot; there are lots of JVMs) and BEAM is that BEAM is a reasonable, Erlang-specific (or languages with similar semantics to Erlang) VM, while HotSpot is a state-of-the-art, general purpose(ish) VM, with many, many man-centuries behind it.
Relying on effect measures and their confidence intervals, rather than relying on p-values as a "Yes/No" threshold should likely be on your list, especially as an interim step that should be easy for those who still want p-values to swallow.

I have a relative who lived in Montana for several years. I'm told its a world-class hiking state and is much cheaper than Colorado. I went once to go fly fishing and it was gorgeous. Only the winters are supposed to be terrible, so you'll want to time your stay well.

If you're more inclined towards Europe then I'd recommend Hungary, a very cost-effective place to live.

Good luck!
Ithaca, you know Ulysses island. I am not sure about thr fast Internet. I assume you could get some lousy ADSL.

The sea and nature are marvelous though. The people are very good too. There at least another 50 places in Greece that fit the description, but Ithaca is my favorite. You can check out Nomads list, for cities that are better fit for tech nomads.
I know quite a few idyllic places with lots of nature. None of them have fast internet.
just ask him, how your currently salary is influencing the decision making process, if your are the candidate or not.

it´s generally your choice who you share this information with. in Europe, people mostly don´t talk about salaries. in the US it´s common to talk about it... don´t know how the "rules" are in Singapore.

There are two points here:

A. Polynesians are definitely not "first South Americans", regardless at which date the conjectured sweet potato journey happened. Simply because the other South Americans we know of arrived about 15,000 years ago, way before Polynesians even left Taiwan.

B. "The distance from Rapanui/Easter Island to Chile is less than the distance from the Marquesas Islands to Hawaii", true. But since Polynesians reached Easter Island only in the 1200s, their conjectured sweet potato journey must have been either post 1200s, or much longer than the journey from Easter Island.

As of the sweet potato, who knows how it got in Maori hands? Super alternative conjecture, maybe some people during the glacial age, beneficiary of low ocean levels, brought it to the islands, and Polynesians picked it up from there?
Lots of places in Sweden with great internet, great nature and ok prices. If super cheap is your focus, maybe not, but it is quite affordable outside cities. The North for mountains, the west or north for forests and lakes.
Ah, but maybe they like people who fart ;)
Western Pennsylvania has pretty much everything you're asking for. I live near Pittsburgh, but I'm honestly less than an hour drive away from all of this.

The only caveat (to living directly in the mountains) is that in any place where you're engulfed in nature, your Internet connection is going to be slower. It's too costly for the ISP to install or upgrade infrastructure to an area with less than say 400 homes per square mile. Past a certain number, it's just not a viable investment.

Satellite ISPs have been getting better though and DSL technology has shown at least a theoretical 800Mbps (in labs). Maybe someday it'll be possible to get great broadband in the mountains.

Lots of foreign tourists have been coming here to Portugal - we have plenty of cheap rural homes in the middle of forests, large and small rivers with good walkable trails and bathing areas, and during these summer vacations, I had a nice 30mbps connection in a village so small it didn't even any shops.

Swansea, Wales, UK

I moved back (in from there originally) and we have

- the UK's first area of outstanding natural beauty
- mountains, loads of mountains
- world class beaches
- low cost of living
- a TechHub with easy access to TechHub Shoredich in London
- pretty good internet, with 300mb consumer connections being rolled out
- great surfing

And soon to be built, a £1.5bn tidal lagoon and £0.5bn to be spent on regenerating the city centre.

Desk space in Techhub is currently £150p/m

Average monthly rent is £500 p/m for a studio/1den in a pretty new shoreside development SA1

We have a few London based businesses looking to relocate because of the low cost of living and great lifesytle.

Two Google engineers were here last week and were massive impressed, needless to say they are coming back here on holiday.
I live in Cancun, Mexico right now. There are some areas where it's nice and not so expensive. Other places are around here because of tourism. However, Chiapas has mountains and rivers and is the cheapest state in Mexico from what I've heard.
First off, there's no need for all-caps. This isn't 4chan.

> The fact that assumptions are considered as some unavoidable, forgivable, intricate part of science is part of what fuels anti-science and politics.

No one here, as far as I can tell, is saying, 'oh well, science is full of assumptions therefore science is invalid.' The problem is not with science in general being valid or invalid, but rather with the sorts of experiments being conducted right now. Studies that are not replicable most of the time are bad science, which is different than science itself being 'bad.'

I'm not saying such faulty experiments and studies are unavoidable and forgivable. Quite the opposite, they're flawed and need to be scrutinized more, not less.

Finally, this is not an incurable problem. Bayesian math is one potential solution. There are others.

If you're considering Canada on the exchange rate, try out Banff or Jasper in Alberta; they're national parks and wonderfully maintained.

Enough beautiful hikes to keep me entertained for the last decade. I've found going over a mountain and back quite a boom for productivity if only because I don't want to walk afterwards.

The internet is fairly not terrible.

Ok, it's important to note that they're not saying all cars will be true all-electric, but rather that they will all have at least some kind of electric assist to increase MPG across the fleet. Even so, that would be very difficult to pull off in just 10 years given how long car design and production cycles are. It's a commendable goal, though.

Ask HN: Alternative tips for quitting smoking?
I have a friend whose attempts at quitting smoking has been unsuccessful to date. Most of the material that I find to help with quitting at best sound cliché to them and fall off the radar of the quitter very early on.

So I'd like to know if any of you know or have successfully made use of non-mainsream material that caught your attention and stuck with you through your trip out of smoking?
A Wildly Detailed 100-Year Plan for Getting Humans to Mars
I’m not “ignoring” anything.

All fine hand control (fencing, kitchen knife work, writing, eating with chopsticks, soldering, knitting, playing a piano, ...) uses a combination of whole-forearm motion, wrist motion, and finger motion. The human brain/body are incredibly good at translating intended action into precisely choreographed movements combining multiple muscles. The question is how much of each type of motion to use; the more the work can be offloaded to the whole arm, and the more relaxed the wrist and fingers are, the more comfortable it is to do something for a long period of time. The fingers still do quite a bit of fine motion, regardless.

But my comment doesn’t even advocate any particular grip or hand movement technique; all I said is that those bits of advice from the Palmer school, under discussion by the top-of-thread poster, are applicable across various letter-shape styles. As far as I can tell that’s a completely uncontroversial statement.
I think they're saying all powertrains are going to be electric. A i3/Volt model is way more efficient because it's not wasting any energy in idle mode like traditional model.
Wales is beautiful. I spent quite a bit of time in Aberystwyth, and look forward to returning one day.
The only real speed is refilling time, other than that electric is speedier and more powerful.
I don't really get the broken brain meme that cars have some conspiracy over pedestrians thing.

In any commercial setting you don't have dangerous machinery and humans mixing. It would not make sense. So it also makes sense to have absolute barriers in public between the two.

The concept people prefer to walk only holds when that person wants to walk in place X and doesn't want 'other' humans to at that 'time and place' to be driving. Just like we all hate traffic jams, which really means we wish everyone else was not on the road.

Driving gives us unbelievable freedoms and amazing access to things otherwise impossible.

There is no conspiracy, it's just some places are not as well designed as others to get the two to work together, yet.
Banff and Jasper are beautiful but not "cheap". You really should go regardless.

Meanwhile, Vancouver Island fits your description.

To turn the conversation to a slightly different direction:

this is a great case study of the kind of effects branding can have. Dejavu sans mono, an otherwise boring and established font, especially for those using Linux, somehow just seemed something sexy and exciting because it's a newly released, specially made font called Hack, it's a font that represents a very fundamental paradigm shift in how fonts have been, the seamless legibility this font offers is unprecedented. This font is finally the one thing that will enable you to code better than you could ever before. You can't wait to try it out, can you. Go ahead, take it out for a spin. Set your terminal to use Hack, open up vim, and write up a helloworld.c program. You won't believe it -- it'll all come out beautifully and without effort, you'll find the code writing itself through you.
I agree that science strives to remove bias from its body of knowledge, but it's absolutely unavoidable for humans to paint their subjective experiences onto it. Humans have to bring their own preconceptions to any scientific experiment, even the medium by which we convey the knowledge is bathed in assumptions about what those words mean. Every facet of human knowledge is premised on how humans experience the universe. Given your definition, I don't think anything we know would be considered a fact.

That was an unnecessarily long and boring write up wishing for more or less the same thing I am wishing for.

As the tech industry grows in power and influence, and government inefficiencies stand in the way of progress, it's a safe bet politicians will feel the pressure to change.

This cycle has already played out many times over with Wall Street, Defense, Energy, Pharma etc getting involved in politics. The same incentives that made the Rockefellers, Bushes, Cheneys and Trumps to get involved will see future Gates, Zucks and Musks stepping up too.

The difference between the tech sector and other sectors however, unseen before historically, is the speed and scale at which they are able to turn what was previously considered impossible to possible.

The first serious govt vs tech industry conflicts are just beginning to emerge whether in energy, telecom, privacy, security, payments etc. Government and traditional politics doesn't stand a chance. They will be subverted.
I own a company making truck accessories. I recently purchased a 2009 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid because I think I can tweak the electric drive to produce a lot more power - My own version of Tesla's "Ludicrous Mode" for the Tahoe, electric backed up with the 6.0L V8. My target is 1000 hp, 500 from gas, 500 from electric (for a 1/4 mile at least). Just driving the truck unmodified, I am thinking that the marketing people for that vehicle did a bad job. It was panned in the press, but is very fun to drive.

Stock the truck can do 28 mph on electric only. Not bad for a 8 seat vehicle. Once I get done tweaking it, I should be able to drive full electric when I want ( I have a 5 mile commute!).

Personally, i am excited about all the good electric motors out there. It makes going faster really easy! and better on fuel!

I think going electric will not be "giving up speed and power". As a hardcore auto enthusiast, I think that people like me will be embracing electric to GET speed and power.

Banff, Canmore, Lake Loiuse, Jasper. Just spent the day at Lake Louise (from Calgary). The most beautiful place on earth. Hiked to lake Agnes (7000ft elevation) with family. We were soaked but enjoyed it immensely.

I think it's often a good approach to take the time to understand the current situation, understand the future desired situation, and commit to a doable plan to get from the one to the other.

For example, if someone wants to quit cigarettes, they could figure out how many they smoke per day. Now, this week, could they smoke only N-1 per day? Next week, could they smoke only N-2 per day?

Maybe it seems excruciatingly slow, but is it really? Plan it out. Get a calendar and hang it somewhere prominent and write down what is supposed to be taking place each week.

Slow and steady can accomplish anything. No heroics necessary. Just be relentless.

Best wishes to your friend. I often thank my parents for quitting smoking when I was born; if they hadn't, they'd be gone now, or in absolute ruins healthwise.
Perhaps Ithaca, New York? It's a smallish college town (Cornell, Ithaca College), but with lots of great scenery nearby, including forest, lakes, and gorges.
