This is not how p values are used. See Gelman:

> The p-value does not tell you if the result was due to chance. It tells you whether the results are consistent with being due to chance. That is not the same thing at all.

> In a language like Rust, direct casts mean "reinterpret these bits", and the two are represented differently, so that wouldn't work.

What's the representation of an optional then? Doesn't make use of some generic concept like subclasses or unions? Surely you have a generic syntax for "assume this union is this particular member" or "assume this base class is this particular subclass" or the like?

> I'm not sure that it's any more verbose or scary looking, though.

I guess the point is that I want all cast-like operations to look alike (or at least to have a way to consistently distinguish them from ordinary methods) so that I can flag them all up consistently in code reviews, linters etc.
I'll offer a controversial explanation: bitcoin enthusiasts have exhausted most of the oxygen in the room with regard to rational bitcoin discussion.

The never-ending adulation of bitcoin as the greatest invention since the internet, the hyperbolic claims that bitcoin will do things like revolutionize payments, end global war, eliminate the need for banks, liberate the people from bondage, the litany of bitcoin and blockchain companies making extraordinary claims while consistently under-delivering or outright scamming customers, the warped world-view where communities of impoverished people who can barely meet their daily needs and have markedly poor computer literacy and limited access to computers and internet will be lifted out of poverty by banking with bitcoin, the constant dismissal of bitcoin skeptics as "not understanding" bitcoin, the self-aggrandizing elevation of satoshi and bitcoin programmers as programming prodigies, the condescendingly absurd notion that detractors, the banks and the governments are afraid of bitcoin or afraid of the bitcoin money revolution, the tone-deaf advocacy of bitcoin as a safer method of payment than credit cards, the general refusal to acknowledge bitcoin's practical challenges as real problems (non-technical people being scammed or permanently losing their money due to data-loss, theft, misconfiguration of software, sending bitcoin to the wrong address, downloading a scam wallet), the oversaturation of the underwhelming "x but with bitcoin" formula that pops up every couple weeks... and much more.

As heated, vitriolic and personal as linux discussions can get, its taken for granted that everyone is at least operating in the same objective reality (systemd vs upstart, gnome vs unity, mir vs wayland, even windows vs linux), but a large swath of bitcoin enthusiasts look at bitcoin as something that eclipses every other technical topic in importance to the point where it comes off as quasi-religious.
This.

One of the things that saddens me most about this deal is that there are likely many talented artists and engineers down in Glendale who will be let go as a result of this consolidation. I would love to be proven wrong, but that is my hunch.

In addition, I get the impression that Comcast is interested in owning already existing IP more than nurturing the Dreamworks Animation team to generate NEW stories and content. If that is the case, it seems short sighted.

>The problem I have seen with intervals training is that few people really go all out.

This is the problem with exercise in general. You can get in shape doing practically anything if you put in maximum effort. The key is to work hard.
i would pay money to watch http://www.daveramsey.com/ interview Talia Jane.
Regarding jogging, what I found is the best (for sustained jogging) is the following (or a variation of.) I've done a bit of research that gave me the idea to try this, and it works.

General Advice:

---) Most importantly, pay attention to how you feel. Always consider that before anything I say. If your body isn't feeling up to it, don't do it: if you get injured you'll be out for a while.

1) You're going to have good and bad days. Just make sure you don't push yourself so hard that you quit. This is for you: go at your pace. Push yourself, but don't make yourself frustrated.

2) You should and can jog or run when you're under the weather, due to a small cold, or hungover, or whatever. Run in the rain. But see ---.

3) If while you're jogging you get a bad cramp, or something feels a bad kind of sore, evaluate. Often you can run through it: you'll loosen up and it'll be okay. But sometimes you're going to hurt yourself. Don't feel bad about stopping. Start off slow. One day cut short is better than a few months because you have a bad sprain.

4) Take breaks. Don't feel bad about taking a day off, as long as YOU KNOW you will be back out there. Listen to your body, and let it heal.

5) Get a lot of sleep, and drink a LOT of water.

The Routine: Alternate days between the below.

Sustained jog: near-constant pace, no walking.

I do a good 3-5 miles (I'm not very in shape: anyone can work up to this easily). On these days I do not push myself, I try a sustained jog. Sometimes I can do a 5k in ~30 minutes fairly easily, other days it takes me over an hour to do 4-5 miles. Point is to reach my goal without stopping. If I get tired, I slow down, but keep jogging.

Running: My goal here is to do 1-2 miles as quickly as I can. I try to set my personal best using an app like Strava. Try to shave off even 5 seconds from that one mile. If I feel good after one mile I do two.

The Mix: I do a run where I'm trying to get a good time on a 5k. This means: sprinting when I can, as much as I can. When I get tired, I jog, but I do not stop running.

Most days are the Sustained Jog. I try to run 5+ times a week. So probably 3-4 of the days are a sustained, 40-70 minute job. I try to do the quick sprint once a week to see how I do, then I try to do the mix once a week as well. Usually I do the mix at the beginning of the week, after a break day (or two). You'll have the most energy then: use it.

Using this, I've seen very sustained and continued improvement with both endurance and speed. I don't know what else I could ask for. The mentality of jogging for me has also helped with motivation: I know I want to get out there, but I'm doing it to be healthy, not for anyone else. So, I do it at my pace. Getting out there is enough.

It's very important to: 1) Make sure you jog as often as your own body will allow 2) Push yourself, but be safe 3) Take breaks, don't get burned out!
Logiciel vs. terroriste and trafics
These sorts of warnings have been going out since at least the 1980s. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10161818 where I found a 1988 newspaper article that said:

I disagree that math is that great. A mathematical model is a formal description of some sort, but a mental model is just a different kind of ontological descriptor; both are merely machines to process inputs and produce some sort of output. You might argue that it's better to be able to observe and tweak the mathematical model than to use one built on purely human semantics, but, mathematical models, by virtue of their simplicity, are generally poor at dealing with complexity (see my other comment in this thread for a critique of his model). This is why we're tending these days towards more complex, harder-to-understand learning systems like neural networks; you get an answer composed of primitives you don't really understand very well. This is basically the same as sociology.
Hey!

I dont know if this would get funded, but its a great idea. I did something like this, but it was a little bit deeper into individual experiences. ie. instead of getting public information, interviewing individuals who worked at these companies/with the founders, then compile for others. Something like Founders at Work as a website.

Looking at bitpay's docs (this is a pretty typical setup), merchant is getting IPNs (aka Webhooks) with invoice statuses based on what is happening with that payment on the Bitcoin network - https://bitpay.com/docs/invoice-states.

So yes, as a merchant it's up to you if you want to wait until the funds are there (invoice status == 'Complete') or ship as soon as the payment is detected ('Paid' status).

Bitpay will obv guarantee for the funds to be there when status moves to 'Complete' otherwise they are risking to get hit with a double spend.

Enums don't have (dynamic) data members, do they? Sometimes you want a representation of e.g. "user's email address, or nothing if they haven't set one". More, you want that often enough that it's worth having a single generic way to represent it rather than having to construct a custom NullObject for each case.

I agree with opposing a cult of leaders getting credit, but replacing it with corporate credit ?

There is a long unjust tradition of stealing deserved credit from engineers, employees & research assistants[1].

Sometimes individuals are solely resposible for important ideas and implementations, credit should be accorded accurately to teams and individuals.

Avoiding personalities should we merely say radio-pulsars were discovered at Jodrell Bank ? Seems less accurate, IMHO.

He's talking about the words we use - that they are just symbols, and are only representative of the observations made, and are not the actual thing being described, itself. We call it a 'brain', but it is so much more than that, and the more we look at it - the more we need to invent new symbols in order to describe what we're looking at. In fact, words are not the things they describe - words are just abstract symbols, and concepts which we attempt to communicate about. They aren't the actual thing.

So yes, bullshit. Fallacy. Lies. You get the point, entirely. We cannot use anything but a new word - which is, basically, a lie until everyone believes it (i.e. we all have the same abstract agreement about what the word means). No word is the thing it describes. So we really only have handles, or pointers, to reality .. and that is not the same.
I think you are discounting the Zimbabwe and Weimar Republic experiences a bit too quickly. The equation I print money = I create inflation does hold. Right now we see a very concentrated inflation in real estate and stocks which are not counted in the CPI indices, because the money printing is done through bank balance sheets and asset managers (by buying treasury and ABS securities) but as soon as the gvt starts paying its employees and suppliers with printed money, even the CPI indices will go wild. In any case it's not because the CPI index doesn't say there is inflation that there isn't. My rent is going up every year at a much higher rate than the CPI index. Not treating property as a cost of living is just absurd.

I think there might be a way to minimize the privacy risk here: Let Textalyzer data only be read over a physical USB cable, and only expose the time and duration of the activity, not the nature of it. Then police can see whether a driver has been using their phone without digging further.

Of course, I don't have high hopes that it'll actually be implemented like this, and I fully expect if this does come out to see a headline a year later along the lines of "Textalyzer protocol exposes private user data/allows arbitrary code execution!"

I grew up "we don't have money for Christmas presents" poor, but not "we don't have money for food" poor.

It's not even about that. It's that being poor is expensive. So, here's an example: when I would buy shoes, which were usually boots (I lived on a farm), you could get a pair at a place like Sears. They were maybe, I dunno, $20-$30 at the time. They would fall apart within a year. Every year, let's say, $30-$60, just on replacing my shoes. Then, one year, I decided to save up _all_ of my money, including gifts, and bought a pair of Doc Martens for $120. Those shoes lasted me for almost a decade, because they were significantly higher quality. $12/year, actually cheaper than the poorer quality boots. But that wouldn't help if I couldn't put the $120 together to actually buy them, which was true most of the time.

A lot of being poor is like this. You can only afford cheap stuff, and cheap stuff breaks a lot and needs to be replaced often. It's expensive to be poor.

That and family planning. Poor kids have babies that are guaranteed poverty from birth and likelier to deal with the same situation as (very young) adults. More unwanted children means more strain on the system that could otherwise more readily help the poor person trying to get a leg up and doesn't party till 2 in the morning. And that means double for people who have it hard as it is without having to be a parent as well.

I can't imagine making birth control pills OTC and free of charge would be more expensive in the long run than a steadily increasing line for welfare checks and SNAP benefits.

Edit: if one person can explain why they are downvoting me, I would love to listen. Otherwise I assume you all think I'm shitty because I think birth control should be available to everyone, especially people who aren't ready to have kids.

That's not true. Families build wealth together. My children don't do my work, but they work with mom to keep the house in order while I do. It's a family effort. Without the support of my wife and children, I would not be able to produce nearly as much as I do (note: I'm not wealthy, I just happen to value the money I make).

Homeownership rate falls to third lowest on record
Comcast, Charter and the satellite companies are already getting in knife fights over content. I think I'm more and more in favor of some hostile rules like requiring major content distributors like the cable companies to offer $0 licensing of their owned content to their competitors.

(such a rule would obviously need some mechanism to see through obfuscating ownership structures)

The premise is that rather than building up content in order to benefit their customers, they are building up content because they can leverage it to extract rent.
Yes, that is one hundred percent accurate. They should have added "and get weird looks from the people around you" to the end of that quote.
Then why does it only happen using bitcoin?

Actually, scratch that, because it doesn't even matter. Wherever you want to lay the blame (anywhere but bitcoin) it's a problem for anyone using bitcoin, making it more useless than (not "immensely superior" to, as claimed) using a credit card or Paypal, which makes it a problem for bitcoin.

Short of more details, this sounds like organizational failure as a whole versus the failure of one developer. Was this one developer the founder or something? It doesn't make sense they got away with so much and no push back from the team?

Should it be one developers job to do more than 20% of the job when it comes to shipping an entire companies products/services?

It feels like you're poo-pooing the idea of a Lone Ranger coder, while being annoyed the person didn't do 100% of the work? If it's supposed to be a team effort, why should they do more than 20% of the job. The rest of the team should be contributing the other 80%.

Sounds like they were there and fired before you even started. So I'm going to have to /dev/null this post as hearsay.

This is hollywood. Take the budget, double it, and add 50 million dollars and then you have an accurate idea of the true budget. To be "profitable" the reported boxoffice needs to be at least 3X the budget. For example, Sherman and Mr.Peabody had a budget of "150 million", made 300 million, but dreamworks still lost 57 million making the movie.

Known flops of the last two years are : Home, Penguins of Madagascar, Sherman and Mr. Peabody, Turbo, Rise of the Guardians.
