> I'm aware of sample size determination, but minimum sample sizes typically assume random sampling over the target population.

If you were aware of sample size determination, why would you suggest that a 6000 person sample is "pretty small"? It's pretty big for a national study, actually.

Whether or not the sample selection was properly done with attention paid to bias is difficult to say, but has little to do with the sample size since a non-randomly-selected sample is likely worthless whether it's 6000 or 60,000.

I have some significant concerns about this study, but sample size is not among them.
That video was very very inspiring, don't thank me, I still owe you at least 27 front page mentions :D
What do you mean by "epigenetic code"? Epigenetic means not encoded in DNA. Heritability is hotly debated (and anything positive in that area tends to be overstated in the media).

I was thinking you could approach it as a document classification problem, where you extract the text from the HTML and work with that.

I had a lot of success finding duplicate bug reports by comparing the text from the bug reports with reference documents in a variety of topics (e.g. security, networking, C++), and getting a sense of how similar the text is to the reference text. That gives you a score of how relevant each subject is to the document.

You could do something similar here- download the text from 10 ecommerce sites, run some sort of topic extraction algorithm (like LDA) on it and then compare the text from the sites you're trying to classify with the text from the reference sites.
My interpretation is that the case seeking to make these kinds of injunctions obligatory is likely what led someone to investigate what is going on with these injunctions in general, which then led to the discovery of what seemed like a strange pattern, which led to more research and hiring the PI; and therefore led to the reporting.
But that's what the Natasha Richardson accident proved - it's not about your skiing, it's about other people's skiing. In much the same way as you wear a seatbelt even if you're a perfect driver - someone else can still crash into you.

Also, the fact that I've never had a potentially fatal car accident doesn't mean that I don't see the need to wear a seatbelt. The safety numbers made a risk obvious and the behavioural pattern changed to manage the risk.
Do you have specific concerns? What kind of project would you like to do? Julia is nearly as convenient as Python, and can be nearly as fast as Fortran, but it has neither the polish or large community/library of those languages.

The article.

> Among respondents, 63% said they were freelancing voluntarily

So 37% have been forced into freelancing. That's a large chunk.
Thanks a lot! We already do have plans for monetizing (we will see what reality will look like) and hopefully we will start working on that. Just keep in mind that everything that is accessible now will stay free forever; at least thats the plan.

From the article, doesn't seem anything like what you are describing ---

> A key factor driving the recent uptick in the number of freelancers is young adults’ affinity for independent work, according Stephane Kasriel, CEO of Upwork

> Many freelancers like the lifestyle. The average full-time freelancer in the survey works 36 hours a week, less than the standard 40-hour workweek–and most say they have the right amount of work.

> Technology, such as the proliferating number of freelance platforms and apps like Uber, is also improving access to freelance gigs. Among respondents, 73% said technology has made finding freelance work easier.

> Freelancers are also earning more, the survey found. Among respondents, 46% raised rates in the past year. Among those who quit a traditional job to freelance, more than half are earning more than they did getting a steady paycheck. And, perhaps reflecting their improved financial situations, 53% of freelancers believe that having a diverse portfolio of clients is more economically secure than having one employer.

> Most freelancers surveyed were not forced into it by circumstance. Among respondents, 63% said they were freelancing voluntarily, up from 53% in 2014. “That is a pretty massive shift in two years,” says Kasriel.
> I really enjoy how the author broke down both the problem and the solution, explaining why the existing solutions are inadequate.

A thousand times this, I always get frustrated that every single product, tool or service has to have a lot of marketing gibberish, catchy slogans, etc., but zero explanations of what problems do they attempt to solve, or what was the motivation to create them.

You usually are required to dig further in the documentation or look for an external reference to understand what's the real purpose behind a product, tool or service.

Yeah, have seen a lot of people mod their switches, but not seen someone create them from scratch - think customising them and blending components steps it up a notch, but isn't any more "from scratch" (although, in my opinion, getting the switches bought in is as "from scratch" as is logical).
If you can crack this, it will be a very lucrative opportunity but I am afraid that the space is too crowded and there is not enough of a value proposition for quality candidates to give you their updated info.

Also doesn't Linkedin already do this. They have a search engine you can use to filter out applicants based on school, past experience and location. I also believe they released a lite version to make it more affordable.

Some startups you should look at if you're interested in this space: Hired.com, Whitetruffle and Wayup.com (they introduced a way for companies to post requirements and get paid per qualifed applicant)

>When there is a conversation in the room, it's probably related to what you're doing so it's not necessarily distracting you.

My rebuttal to this point is the amount of time my previous co-workers would spend discussing lawn care strategies.

Overall though, I agree with you. Team sized rooms are a livable compromise, and have some nice upsides while tamping down the downsides of a fully open office.
They do but usually the front of the label is a little deceiving and doesn't state the juice content, like "original 100% vitamin C" instead of something like "27% cranberry juice": http://blogs.longwood.edu/shakingitupatbreakfasttime/files/2... ... And I have seen worst... I'll take pictures next time I go to the grocery store... Also, many times you get juice of fruits that aren't even pictured on the label.

My experience as a teenager and parent is similar to the GP - and my US license is valid in the Netherlands.

Note that we have the added complication that we live in areas with snow, and thus are driving on icy/snowpacked roads for a good portion of the year.

I wondered if it would be cheaper (or more fun!) for dutch residents to take a trip to the US, get a valid drivers license, and bring that back to Europe rather than pay directly for a license there.

This is absolutely not a solution if you have tinnitus or a hearing damage or both.

Also this is an insane workaround. Think about what you’re suggesting: the environment that you’re working in, the place where you go to, intentionally, to focus and concentrate, is so filled with undesired and irrelevant noise, that in order to get your work done, you need to tune it out with headphones. How does that make sense?

These companies are constantly in search of the smartest people and yet they think they can get away with such obviously illogical lines. They have people who are best at identifying and fixing corner cases in very complex systems and yet they want these employees to ignore this completely illogical line of thinking? This is insulting and annoying.

Which only means the use case for the average user changed and the protocol failed to keep up. And you speak as if the few things I mentioned were the only things that IRC can't do that literally all of its competitors can, rather than a small sample of missing features.

Let's see, in addition to what's above, off the top of my head:

* Video chat / screen sharing
* Audio chat
* First class support for connectors to external services (i.e. not a fake client connected to each room)
* First class support for permissions, registration, etc (rather than a fake god-client service package)
* REST API

Compared to IRC, Slack is more beautiful, more usable, more flexible.

It's a great microcosm of the free-vs-proprietary debate that's been raging so long. Slack is winning the fight because it wins in ways that are visible to everyday users, while not being philosophically better.

That's a desirable goal, but hard to achieve. In the US, courts aren't just an administrative unit of government, like the DMV. They're an independent branch of government, organized as a distributed system. Individual courts have their own jurisdiction and are largely self-managed.

As a result, there isn't really anyone who can tell even all the federal courts, much less the state ones, to all plug into a central electronic filing system. Indeed, even though the federal courts all use the PACER software, each court actually maintains it's own system.

At least in [0], the reduced use of cycling was only an issue for teenagers. Children and adults cycled more after mandatory helmet law; people who most fiercely oppose putting protective gear on their head seem to be 12-17 years old.

I'm not really saying that helmets should be mandatory, but the attitudes and arguments remind me a lot about the time when mandatory seatbelt laws were coming to force. People will be trapped in burning cars and sink in vehicles and can't get out, and it will mess up the cothes, etc.

To get OP out of hand filing all those corners I started researching the current year price of a 14mm sq punch (greenlee style) and then gave up and tried 9/16in instead, prices have gone up a bit since my dad was making vacuum tube projects with greenlee punches...

Its probably cheaper to watercut than to buy and use a punch (and hope for perfect alignment)

The problem with lasers is heat distortion that is a huge amount of cutting and the odds of it not turning into a pretzel are not so good.

A weldment with CNC carved rows and columns welded together hopefully into a square array is not ridiculous. In fact its probably the cheapest option. And you could use a nice aluminum and then anodize it some crazy cool color. If not aluminum and tig welding, maybe a somewhat less ambitious steel and silver "solder" (brazing, really) would be more realistic.
You're misunderstanding me completely. I don't think that if remain had won it would be more democratic. I don't want referendums at all. I'm not alone in that thought. Germany has actually outlawed referendums.

As for learn to live with the consequences that also doesn't work. It's not possible to know a specific vote is the cause of this bad result. People can never be that informed they can only work off the feel that they think the country is doing well or it isn't doing well. Learning to live with the consequences can mean a lot of hardship for some very vulnerable people.

Not at all - Foucault looked at discipline in the sense of humans being molded to become skilled and efficient at work - observing everything from monks to boarding schools in an effort to analyze power structures for discipline.

With panopticon, the power model is the all seeing eye, which is necessary to scale to so many prison inmates. With the open office structure, the power structure is more with your work peers, which is more similar to the group/tribal type of power structure.

There's no data on this because no company discloses how many contract workers they use. The DOLabor last studied this in 2005. The best data is from the software companies that manage these programs for Fortune 1000 companies and they say it is 35% -distributed among agency temps, ICs, consulting companies and part time.

This Generation Is Most Likely to Swear at Work

It's not like courts require anything real real.
Even service of process is basically "affidavit i served a guy".

Since they are apparently doing it in states where they have guaranteed the person does not exist, who is going to argue?

Courts are pretty much the last people who ever would discover this. They entirely rely on their raw power to punish people to prospectively enforce decorum and rule, not investigation or auditing.

That is, they do not discover fraud easily or quickly, but when they discover fraud, it tends to go very much "not well" for the people involved.

Humans are the genetic disease that limits egg production. Other mammals don't have this "feature", so it is likely it is a suppressed gene that could be re-expressed.

The Boston Globe's glowing commentary on the campus concurs:

"Most employees have a private office; some share one with a colleague."

Congress can, in fact, do that for federal courts; as for state courts, its true that there is no one body that can, but Congress has been very successful in the past at getting fairly good national compliance with programs that are outside of its ability to mandate by setting rules and providing implementation and maintenance funds to states who choose to follow the rules; there's no reason why this couldn't work with court record systems.

Seems like you were trying to create a centralized server, akin to GitHub or ChiselApp to serve as a main repo and registration site, allowing users to self-register.

Fossil as such does not need a central server; each user may just as well be self-sufficient, and if needed, to share his/her repo to other users (fossil server).

Still one easy way to accomplish the centralized setup is to designate one Fossil instance as the main/origin, create a repo, and launch 'fossil server', it will show the port on which it listens. Then make other users connect to the main by http://hostname:port.

To allow users to self-register, you need to log-in as admin-user and check an option in Admin::Access:Allow users to register themselves. Keep it checked at least until all of your users have registered. Make sure users have a Developer privilege, so that they can push the changes to the main repo.

This will add user names to the central repo, and will prompt for authorization at clone/commit/pull/push/update. In case the registered username is different from local login username, the users may need to make it as local fossil admin (`fossil clone <url> --admin-user <username>`). Then after `fossil open`, make this username as cloned repo default (`fossil user default <username> --user <username>`)

HTTP connect is fairly robust, with additional layer of security added on the Fossil's side to somewhat compensate for the clear-text login. Should suffice in trusted environment.

Your LAN should have no problems routing this as it's indeed a local traffic.

BTW, Fossil has a nice convenience feature called "autosync" which makes login/password use transparent, only enter it once and then all commits would automatically attempt to sync to origin repo. It can be turned-off in settings if not needed, on per-clone basis (fossil set autosync off)

Hope this helps.

That's a problem for planning of both headcount and space. A company should know its growth profile and plan accordingly. Having slack space (meeting cubes, shared space) which can be converted helps. Short answer: plan ahead.

Rotating employees through different workgroups helps build stronger overall team cohesion. Gives people a chance to mix and match.
