People not used to working with history sometimes think that an entire copy of the original manuscript of the New Testament is required to have confidence that we read the original documents as they were written. If that can't be produced then it must be myth. Take this comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10504940

This may be the popular influence of 20th century liberalism and postmodernism (just another form of ancient skepticism) which would trade the historical method and the primary evidence for poor late-dated gnostic sources and sociological reconstructions (which have little data to go on). And sadly, sometimes people just believe that the Da Vinci code was non-fiction, and that the church was in cahoots in the 3rd century.

In fact, the historicity of the New Testament is astounding. If you wanted to take seriously the claims of Jesus, you couldn't ask for better. Here are a few examples off the top of my head:

1. Primary sources dated as close as 22-25 years and as late as 70 years after the event of Jesus' death and resurrection.

2. Thousands of transcribed copies in several ancient languages, from different locations and periods.

3. Many manuscript fragments with early dates, e.g. the earliest, the John fragment (Papyrus P52) at the John Rylands Library in Manchester in England, dates from as early as 125 AD.

4. Multiple independent accounts of eye witness testimony including hostile sources.

5. Biographical accounts written as history.

6. The evidence and weight of the incidental accounts, the New Testament letters, which contain numerous historical details, facts, references and mutual understanding, taken for granted and mentioned in passing.

7. The disciples are frequently portrayed in a negative light in the gospels.

8. The testimony of women is relied on at various key points in the gospels, something which a 1st century fraud would not likely have included.

9. Integrity of the eye witnesses under intense pressure and scrutiny and brutal persecution. Most of the original apostles died horrific deaths, refusing to recant what they saw and heard (1 John 1). In contrast, the Watergate scandal lasted all of a few days before the group fell apart.

10. Many accurate geographical and political references, often of a very technical nature (e.g. various political offices and ranks, shipping navigation, climates, architecture).

In summary, Christianity is an historical claim about an historical person, Jesus of Nazareth. Anyone is free to investigate these claims for themselves, according to the historical method.

For more on this, read Paul Barnett's "Jesus and the Logic of History" (http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-History-Studies-Biblical-Theolog...), or "New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable?" by FF Bruce (himself a Rylands Professor).
Maybe my Bayesian stats are rusty, but wouldn't you need to clarify what "accurate" means to get a correct answer here? i.e. tell us if, by accurate, you mean sensitivity or specificity.

EDIT: Oh, never mind. Just noticed you specifically say 99% for the presence. :)
It's not a layman's definition. The word "unanimous" has a different meaning in corporate governance (and generally in Parliamentary procedure).

It's also not at all uncommon to be presented with a proposal where the only options are "yes" and "abstain." There is no need for a no option, because you need a majority of yes votes for the measure to pass. Abstaining is the same as voting no.
The main reason Monty Hall is non-intuitive is that the shift in probability is rather small (relatively.

To make it more intuitive, we can simply make the shift in probability absurdly high!

Imagine you have 1000 doors, behind one there is a car and behind others, there are goats. You pick one door. The show host opens all other 998 doors, except yours and another door, revealing only goats. Do you think it's more likely the car is behind your door or behind the other unclosed door?
A window could give way in either direction without being penetrated, for example by stretching out and permanently deforming. Risk for people inside is that it would give too much way, so that that pole hits your head.
Serious question, couldn't they have just used steel walls and grabbed the whales no problem?

I see no reason that they needed to be able to see through the walls and look at the Wales inside.
Most wind turbines can be regulated very fast in negative direction, i.e. you can change the angle that the blades have to the wind to reduce the force. This is needed for the turbine to survive storms but it can also be (and is) also used to "help the grid".
Testing on the Toilet: Testing State vs. Testing Interactions

Beware, you are making a strong assumption: that the test's accuracy is the same regarding false negatives and false positives. For example, a test may not find enough "anomaly" in an ill person to trigger the positive, thus yielding a false negative; at the same time, it may as well never find any "anomaly" in a sane person, and as a consequence never give any false positive.
Back to your example, it's obvious that a test with a 0.01 probability to give a false positive is completely useless for an illness that affects 1e-6 of people.
There doesn't need to be. If you don't get a majority of shares voting yes, then the measure doesn't pass. If you do, then it does.

Yes, you can easily add thing into a "staging area" of your database (which is hold in-memory), and then "commit" your changes to update multiple keys in one go. You can also use this mechanism to keep track of reads (what Git doesn't do) to detect read/write conflicts.

you can get Arch with GUI installer via Antergos distribution
Arch is not too difficult to install. Granted, if you don't have much free time, then better to spend it doing something else. The first time I installed Arch was five years ago. I had no idea about the Linux shell or command line, yet the manuals were quite good that I managed go do it with no problem.

I personally love Pacman. For some reason, Ubuntu always ends up creating conflicts that I can't manually resolve (when installing things outside of the official repositories). I never get those issues with AUR. If you have time, give it a try; otherwise, don't lose sleep over it. You always have Manjaro (albeit I think it uses different repositories) or Antergos (not sure about this, either. I remember reading about a distro that used the official Arch repos, but can't remember the name).

How much has Apple paid in taxes as a percentage of revenue (or even profit) over the past 5 years? While the tax system may look progressive at a very superficial level, the richest people or corporations tend not to pay as much in taxes as the middle class does. Even beyond the specifics of the law, the sheer complexity of the law means that only those whose earnings is high enough to justify the cost of a good tax accountant or tax lawyer can get a good rate.

Regulatory complexities in general are also a burden on smaller companies and sole proprietors. Ted Turner described his experience building CNN as one where he was climbing a ladder and seeing the rungs he had just climbed knocked away. Outsiders now simply don't have the ability to handle the regulatory costs of creating the next CNN unless they're already extraordinarily wealthy.

Finally, our banking system is a model of rent-seeking. There are fees charged for doing just about anything with money (borrowing it, lending it, exchanging it for another currency, etc), many of the fees are invisible and once again they are extremely difficult to avoid. Example: how much of the money from YouTube's acquisition went to the financiers? How much do banks make when a tech company IPOs?

The car in question was a kei car not sold outside Japan, so "huge and really strange marketing mistake" might be overstating the actual effect a bit. It's not like it would have had Corolla-like sales with a different name.

The name of the German lightbulb brand Osram, sold in Poland under the same name, literally means "I will shit on it" in Polish. Doesn't seem to have impacted sales much. Occasionally kids will have a giggle.

The GP was comparing cocaine to (substituted) amphetamines, which as with most dopaminergic psychostimulants also cause addiction via changes to ΔFosB expression. Hence, I'd say the comparison isn't incorrect, even if the GP's appraisal of the potential harm of speed/ecstasy may have been understated.

However, ΔFosB expression is also impacted by all kinds of behaviors and substances, including palatable/calorie-dense foods, exercise, and sex. There's a lot of things that alter brain chemistry in the long term if abused.

As for the rest of MirageOS, Irmin is a "library" database, means that you have a bunch of components than you can re-use in different contexts. Two interesting contexts are:

- the browser, where some components of Irmin are transpiled to JavaScript using js_of_ocaml (http://ocsigen.org/js_of_ocaml/). Cuekeeper (http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2015/04/28/cuekeeper-gitting-t...) is an interesting use-case for that.

- the kernel, where some components of Irmin can be compiled into a unikernel and be run on top of Xen/baremetal, bypassing the OS completely. Irmin-ARP (http://somerandomidiot.com/blog/2015/04/24/what-a-distribute...) is an interesting step is the direction of exposing kernel data and do interesting stuff with it.

Commodity futures are contracts that end in physical delivery (with a few exceptions). However, almost all the times the contracts are closed before the delivery date and nothing "real" happens (except an exchange of money). Still, all books on futures have some kind of warning about having your garden occupied by a delivery of pork bellies (or something else).
EV, one of my favorite games of all time! Will try to check this out if I ever get time. :)
The milestone about understanding trade offs really resonated with me. I had been using (what I call) the "Scylla-Charybdis Heuristic":

-Don't trust any model that implies X is too low unless it's also capable of detecting when X would be too high

I've been frustrated by how people can fail this for X=the minimum wage, immigration, ease of getting public assistance (just to show that it's across the spectrum), as well as less political issues like "approaching strangers" or "trying to persuade after a rejection".

There is a very common mentality out there that cannot admit to any downsides to a favored policy. I had often attributed this to "well, they have to be wary of tripping others' poor heuristics", but this may itself be the #1 fallacy Alexander mentions! It can just as well be that the person cannot think in terms of trsdeoffs.

Interesting caption to one of the photos regarding how the temperature of the environment has changed:

>Axel Lindahl’s picture of Engabreen from 1889 shows the foot of the glacier, where there was only ice, glacial gravel, water and bare mountainsides in a seemingly cold and hostile landscape. Now, more than 120 years later, the valley has become far more fertile. Birch forest, shore meadows, willow thickets and marshland have established themselves, while the glacier arm has retreated far back up the mountainside.

For sure, this assumes that false positive rate = false negative rate = 1%, but it suffices to illustrate how a highly accurate test can produce misleading results.

A solution would be repeated retesting, as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th consecutive positive test results would lead to 0.01%, 1%, 50%, and 99% chances. (Each additional positive test reduces the false positives by 100-fold, whereas the ill patients are very likely to get continually positive results.)
If they were commonplace, they could monitor each other. As soon as one is tampered with, others could be re-reouted to follow the perpitrators. It would be like having a mobile CCTV network.

this is a often used arguments but it seems to answer the wrong question :

facebook didn't become popular because it had technical abilities or qualities that no other companies had. i mt became popular because of good product features and good marketing ( in the most general sense). So, to them, using a bad technology wasn't such a big deal.

it doesn't mean php is good, it just means that some businesses can afford a bad technological stack. Even online ones.

now, as software developpers, we should try to use the best technology whenever we can ( with best being relative to the business constraints of course).

But commercial success and technological achievments are two different things. sometimes they're linked (think whatsapp), sometimes not.

Also note that the only cited source additionally claims that "M" is often used to indicate one thousand, as in $60,000 = $60M, which for all I know may be true in the financial world but is definitely not true for anyone outside that world who wants to be understood.

>The more common numbers you see are under 50.

This is a very high number.

The official Soviet total death toll was 2 until risen to 31 in 1986 and repeated.

The point is you'll find all kind of number ranging from 2 to a million death due to chernobyl and number of death is not even a valid metric to measure the human impact of the chernobyl "accident".
One of my family member is a farmer living a few thousand kilometer away from Chernobyl, he was working outside on the days where the contaminated cloud didn't reach him according to the government, but still he developed a chronic red blood cell sickness shortly after.

Upgrade the laptop with an SSD if you haven't already. If you do that at the same time when you switch to Linux, it will boost her experience and trust.

I'm thinking about this as well. My mother uses Windows 7 with Firefox, Thunderbird for mail, LibreOffice and Windows Photo Gallery. I think Ubuntu LTS with the Unity desktop is the best choice. Mint is an option.

In my experience Fedora/Centos is much more work installing applications. That may be my lack of experience with using Centos for desktop. If it's only about the browser, it won't matter much, and then your experience is leading.

I have a Lenovo laptop with 2GB RAM and Ubuntu 14.04 installed on SSD. It stalls many times. You need 4GB RAM. It will work on that laptop, but with issues, probably the same issues she has now. Better buy a new cheap laptop and make sure it has at least 4GB RAM.

Be careful with UEFI - it can cause many headaches when you want to install Linux. It took me more than a month to get it working.

Last tip: Try to find a laptop that has a proven record to work with Linux. Not all laptops qualify, have a modified motherboard or graphics card etc. The old laptop can be tested with a live stick.
