I found a major problem is that many people graduating with PhDs in biomed suffer from the misconception that rejecting the null hypothesis somehow allows them to conclude their favored explanation is the correct one.

This is a widespread, top-to-bottom, worldwide error. I was trained to think this in grad school, surrounded by people who thought it, and have read innumerable papers by those who pretty much explicitly write that down and publish it.

Since rejecting the null hypothesis is much easier than coming up with and deciding between multiple research hypotheses, these people appear to be much more productive (when measured in publication output) than those who try to do it right. I tried, and no longer believe it is possible to do a good job in the current academic environment.

It is just not possible to compete with people who only reject a null hypotheses and skip everything else, not according to the metrics being used to assess performance. It's a race to the bottom.
Doesn't this article leave out one of the points that employees often had to wait 10 or 15 minutes for someone to check their bag? Time they weren't paid for? Maybe that was exaggerated or I'm thinking of something else. It holds a least a little merit, no? People that commute via public transportation don't have much of a choice to not hbringing a bag i.e. No car to leave it in.
Technology is able to simulate higher and higher levels of abstraction.

Did the horses find other jobs after cars renderede them useless for transportation? No because something better equipped at that job came along. Why do you think it will be any different for us? We also have limits. Computers on the other hand their limits are way beyond ours because they can reproduce faster than us, they can learn faster than us, they can endure more than we can. They are perfectly equipped for going into outspace. They can simulate almost everything maybe even black holes one day. And so on. We have only just started to explore what AI can do. We are barely a second into the potential.

Evolution didn't start with humans either. It'e a continues process that start simple but eventually build something quite extraordinary. Some would say that biology found a way to reproduce even faster trough technology and the digital space.
It's more like you do or say something stupid when you're young and years later it's still the top hit for you in Google. The ease of finding it makes a huge practical difference that I think is willfully overlooked by opponents of it - between a prospective employer or date idly typing it in, vs needing real actual investigation to ferret it out.

There is also that Google don't really care about this - they'll ruin your livelihood by dredging up your past mistakes for a couple of cents of ad revenue. That sort of power needs to be curbed.

I have taken similar drugs for insomnia and I don't think they would outright cause delusional confessions. I do think that they could relax a person enough to continue with a plan that they might not have been as likely to execute otherwise.

Anecdotal: I was having reservations about a relationship and wasn't sure if I was willing to stay involved. In a relaxed state from pain medications related to a standard medical procedure, I finally said that I wanted out. I wouldn't have said it (at that moment) if I hadn't been sedated to the point of an above average sense of wellbeing. After the effects diminished, I realized that I was not as ready to live with the outcome and wished I had taken more time to think it over.

If Quick was already on the edge of making a false confession for the purpose of gaining attention or fame, this scenario would make sense. Whether that was the situation, I have no idea.
Hi MadAxe. Do you have links or data as per my comment?
For example

If you use the word 'probability' the expected range of values is 0-1 or 0 through 100%, you can't really be 'double-guilty' of anything. See also: Bayes theorem, which was formulated expressly with the idea of evaluating evidence. If I see the words 'probability' and '183%' in one sentence than as part of that audience I suspect a buggy algorithm, not a new interpretation of the word probability.

If you can be double guilty of something then does that mean you get to serve two sentences for the same crime too?

Regarding the tradeoff of salary vs equity its driven by pure personal risk appetite wherein if you think the company is something to bet on I would do it but if you need the cash, dont.People can give you pointers but just do what your gut tells you to do (imagine the stock is half of what today is, can you digest that?)

I reprogrammed the alphabetic layout on my Symbolics machine. It was easy. (I use a custom layout I created myself, very similar to the Asset layout [0].)

Fortunately, there was no need to remap the Caps Lock key, which I am guessing is the one that gave you the most trouble on the ThinkPad. It would have been hopeless on the Symbolics; the key has a physical alternate-action mechanism, like a ballpoint pen's. Here's a photo [1] taken with the key in the down position. You can also see it's well out of the way; Rub Out (the key that deleted the previous character; now generally labeled Backspace on PCs, or Delete on Macs) is where God intended it, to the left of A. So you probably wouldn't have had any desire to remap Caps Lock.

Perhaps its counter acted by them telling me all the time how much better it is than solid food :-).

But more seriously you do have a valid (if taken to an extreme) point. But similar arguments are made by people on segways losing walking endurance (or cars even). Actual atrophy seems to require complete non-use.
Even with a varied diet, it is likely that almost everyone can benefit from supplementation, especially of precursors required for complex processes, such as ubiquinol.

Also, for those eating, a safe measurement of food diversity is to try and eat all of the different colors.
Themes rarely have hackable exploits due to what they (are supposed to) do. If there's insecure code in there it's probably code with functionality that belongs in a plugin to start with. Themes that have had vulnerabilities in them tend to be the kinds of commercial themes that are filled with features and 3rd party scripts to satiate users demands. Not really a WordPress core problem, it is a market problem. Although package management is something WordPress lacks in.

Clever. Appeals to me: I have a scuba watch with a rubber strap, the only watch I've ever been able to wear comfortably for extended periods. I'm so used to it (and I miss it a lot when it goes in for service) that I will likely never replace it - despite having far more means than when I bought it, and some interest in smart watches.

Chronos means I get to keep it and get smart watch functionality. Cool.

> To exploit a vulnerability in the terminal emulator, an attacker must be able to insert a carefully crafted escape sequence into the terminal stream. For a PuTTY SSH session, this must be before encryption, so the attacker likely needs access to the server you're connecting to. For instance, an attacker on a multi-user machine that you connect to could trick you into running cat on a file they control containing a malicious escape sequence. (Unix write(1) is not a vector for this, if implemented correctly.)

From the sounds of it, an attacker needs to either compromise the machine you intend to ssh into, or mitm before you first ever connect. Once keys are cached you should easily notice if you've been mitmed.

Granularizing rounds seems like a good idea until you realize how much work it is to raise. If a startups path goes from seed, A, B, Exit to Seed 1, Seed 2, A, Bridge, B, C, Bridge etc then the founders have significantly less time to focus on their product and spend more time playing the game.

Anyone have any advice on raising enough on the seed round to match your needs without having to create an absurd valuation that will crunch you in A?

Jevity one of the abbot brands you mention is clearly designed for long term use as 'sole-source nutrition'. And, I am sure someone has lived off of Ensure, but just because they also sell total nutrition products does not mean Ensure was designed for that role.

Design goals matter, Jevity/Oxepa/etc being designed for feeding tube use has little focus on taste.

Another example, Osmolite is sole-source nutrition but it's low-residue which is not good for healthy people who need more fiber.

PS: You can look through there brands, but there is a reason they sell so many different kinds as they each have different trade offs.

ED: I have had significant digestive issues in the past so I have done some research into this. And, talk to a nutritionist before going on any unusual diet, it's easy to mess things up long term.

Then, multiply this number by zero to calculate the value of your stake in the company.

Be careful. Some equities have tight rules of what you can do with them, essentially rendering them worthless. What's the difference between one stock option you can't sell, can't withdraw profit or that doesn't exist in a clear piece of paper from the one that doesn't exist?

I don't know how this works with eBay but can tell you what the issue is with Amazon US.

In simple terms they are pulling a fast one by making third party vendors responsible for sales tax. Amazon benefit from vendors who ignore this by having a marketplace where buyers can avoid sales tax, which can amount to a significant chunk of change.

Why do vendors avoid it? Well, it isn't necessarily because they want to defraud the government. It's because of how ridiculously complex the system can become.

If Amazon were responsible for the collection and payment of sales tax it would be super easy. They make the sale, collect the money, have the data and can automate the entire thing.

What does it look like for third party vendors using FBA?

Well, let's say you have a business registered in, Nevada. No state sales tax there. However, by selling through Amazon and using FBA you now have to be aware of something called "nexus".

If your little box containing your widget is located and shipped from an Amazon warehouse located in California you now have to register in California, obtain a resale permit, collect, file and pay sales tax in that state. And, of course, you have to do the same with every state where Amazon has a warehouse. I think the number is somewhere around 16 states. In other words, it's a mess and a nightmare.

Amazon could make this super easy by collecting, filing and paying sales tax themselves but, for some strange reason, they've managed to convince government folk that THEY are not the sellers. This, of course, is ridiculous. Amazon allows businesses to list and sell on their platform but it is no different from selling to Walmart. Amazon has total control over absolutely everything. In that sense it isn't like eBay at all where you truly are the seller.

BTW, as I understand it, the whole business of "nexus" connected to Amazon warehouse locations is still something that has not been fully sorted in law. I've read opinions on the side of single state nexus (meaning, you are only responsible for sales taxes where your business has is located and nowhere else) as well as the exact opposite case where you have to register, collect, file and pay on every state your product is stocked at an Amazon warehouse.

It's a mess.

I'd like to know why Galileo from HRM did stuff. And some Joe Smart from Castile didn't.

Fair question but one that could apply to almost any historical figure who has done stuff. Most of (us) don't. A few do.

http://www.cs.rhul.ac.uk/~adrian/images/Galileo_Galilei_2.jp...

My preferred portrait of Galileo. Might give you one answer.

Another answer: There are a shelf-loads of books about Galileo around that go into more detail about the historical setting than the OA which I imagine was aimed at children.

He was the son of a court musician (who may have played in one of the first operas) and therefore had access to powerful people. He was good at his maths and that lead to being a private teacher with rich young aristos as his students, and to his acting as a designer of fortifications (contact with powerful people again). He belonged to a club of people interested in new curiosities and experiments. Networking - a sign of the times. Quite a modern man in many ways.

Contrast his successful PR with that of Johannes Kepler. Much more useful model of the planetary motions, and an insight into the underlying physics. Much less recognition.

Intriguing. Basic premise is that conservatives (operational definition lacking, but work with me here) tend to dismiss social psychology as a field - and thus not enter it - because they consider the subjects of social psychologically to be fundamental to the persons affected, fixed, inherent in a person's base personality or approach to life. Liberals (ditto re op def) consider the subjects of social psychology to be amenable to study and remediation, and not fundamental to the person.

Thus, conservatives do not enter the field and it becomes dominated by liberals.

Intriguing approach to the question, to be sure.
> at a strong price (the latest valuation is already 2x the strike price I would get)

By "latest valuation" do you mean their valuation based on the most recent round? Remember that valuation is for preferred shares, and you will receive common shares. Preferred shares are usually valued significantly higher than the common share (IE 409A) valuation. (Investors are paying for the potential growth, employees pay the 409A price which is what is company worth right now)

Edit: also get a warm referral to a good attorney, they may review your paperwork and give you advice for free. In my case this free consultation led directly to an easy $10K cash swing in my favor, on top of a professionally reasoned plan for managing my equity. The attorney is an invaluable aid in negotiotation because they can play the bad cop hardass and also call the company's bluff (assuming the company isn't hoping to pull one over on you, in which case bringing in an attorney might conceivably make the company behave defensively and thereby risk your offer).

going out on a limb, i guess these people would say that they don't know much category theory because they understand that category theory contains results, not just definitions. moreover, it bleeds into algebra, geometry, k-theory, etc. pretty fast. even some /very/ respectable mathematicians (e.g. matsumura) are hesitant to say they know much about all of these things.

i think it's really cool that haskell makes programmers interested in math. i'm still pretty sure that everything about it that has anything to do with category theory is contained in the Prelude or on hackage, tho. in other words, all the category theory stuff that's "built-in" to haskell is itself expressed in haskell. at the risk of raising some hairs: at one point Crockford mentioned that making monads is possible in javascript, too.
Damn, I feel for them. That said, I feel better about how I've incessantly posted Wheeler's page over the years whenever source control comes up.

Answer: retain experienced counsel to assist you.

> I just got an offer from a late-stage startup, that is offering me a small number of shares at a strong price (the latest valuation is already 2x the strike price I would get).

If you are being offered options with an exercise price less than their fair market value (as established by the company's latest 409A valuation), you could face adverse tax consequences. It is unusual for a company to offer discounted stock options, so this suggests that you either don't understand what you have been offered (most likely scenario) or that the company is intentionally or unintentionally exposing you to a huge tax headache (least likely scenario). In either case, you'd be wise to seek professional advice.
