P-value being defined as the probability of observing a result equally or more extreme under a model H0. So if you start with with assumption that H0 is true, there's not much you can say about alternative hypotheses.

The American Statistical Association actually put out a statement this year on the issue of p-value. You can find the whole article here http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00031305.2016.1154108 but here are the main points:

1) P-values can indicate how incompatible the data are with a specified statistical model.

2) P-values do not measure the probability that the studied hypothesis is true, or the probability that the data were produced by random chance alone.

3) Scientific conclusions and business or policy decisions should not be based only on whether a p-value passes a specific threshold.

4) Proper inference requires full reporting and transparency.

5) A p-value, or statistical significance, does not measure the size of an effect or the importance of a result.

6) By itself, a p-value does not provide a good measure of evidence regarding a model or hypothesis.

As an additional curiosity, the group of writers was not completely unconflicted coming up those definitions and the article contains a number of supplemental articles by the individual authors to clarify/dispute some of the points made.

British man takes 11 hours to make cup of tea with Wi-Fi kettle
The article was interesting and provided some information (on the battery suppliers, not being able to reproduce the problem) and perspective that I wasn't aware of before.

But the headline seemed inaccurate though. I read this article twice, and I still finished with the feeling that it didn't really answer the question in the headline. None of the interviews with identified or unidentified sources answered this particular question with any details. So it's a management decision because even the replacement phones had the same issue. Anybody following the news could've guessed that.
Man I always thought that was in Argentina. So much scifi shot on that campus.
> Windows, in contrast, has been hell. Some of the dependencies of one particular project only compile with Visual Studio on Windows, not Cygwin/MingW.

Seems like the issue is with the particular project you are trying to compile and you are blaming it on the OS.

Also, Visual Studio has its own package manager with tons of libraries and tools.

Hi! Discovered resin.io already some time ago and think Docker containers on embedded devices is a very interesting approach.

Just skimmed a little bit through the resin-os docs and was left with the following questions:

- What's your plans for audio and video? The base system doesn't seem to provide any audio or video manager. Should those (e.g. wayland) also be ran inside a container, which could make access from other containers difficult? Or should they if required be included through the Yocto image build process? Or is A/V currently out of scope for you and you focus on pure networked devices?

- Haven't found any description on how prebuilt docker images can be packaged and flashed during the installation process or later on? I only found the rdt push description which seems to push the application sources to the device and builds the image there. This might be interesting for development but would not be anything that I want at all for production. E.g. I don't want to give customers my app sources, I need company git repository access (credentials) during image building, etc.

- What's your reasoning about building all those build and development tools in coffeescript for node? From a pure tool user perspective I know that it's a turn-off for lots of users that it requires node6 on the PC (it's not LTS, other stuff might require other versions, what is that node-thing anyway, ...). And from a developer perspective I would rather not prefer an exotic programming without static typing and a rather volatile ecosystem for a reliable long-term system. I don't want to say here that it isn't possible to create solid project with it and yours might work great - it's just not the first option that comes to my mind.
Good for development environments though. Probably don't want to be running SQL Express for large databases anyway.

Many of these make sense, but a few (for eg. 'View Switcher') end up obscuring the logic of what's happening, and are probably better off done in JS.
What do you mean by "full documentation" and "NDA"?

Go to NXP.com, sign up for an online account, and you can download full reference manuals for most of their products. They may hold errata and more low-level/non-user documentation closer to the chest, if your sign-up data is obviously fake or appears to be North Korean your account may not be activated, but it's not the case that you need to have an NDA signed in blood to get manuals.
Though I despise some of Samsung's shameless tactics in the design copying department, I feel bad for the company and the employees who worked on this device. With the pressure of all the media coverage around, not knowing the reason for the failures would've been a terrible blow to morale and motivation. Hope the middle and lower level employees don't face the brunt for what could (still) be an impossible problem to figure out and solve.

That's true, but if we assume the probabilities of "Earth orbits Sun" and "Sun orbits Earth" we still get the correct conditional probabilities under the condition "either the Sun orbits the Earth or the Earth orbits the Sun", and the ratio between the two conditional probabilities is the same as the ratio between the absolute probabilities. So we can still decide which hypothesis is better, and by how much.
I clearly is.

Note the absurd metric (lines and spaces) to justify how the blown-up version is considered to be smaller. Also note that the article consequently talks about "Node code" even though they are talking about client-side JavaScript.

From the article:

#gulp {
color : #0000ff;
padding : 10px;
}

This CSS takes up 4 lines, and at least 13 spaces. [...]

document.getElementById(‘gulp’).style.color=‘#00f’;
document.getElementById(‘gulp’).style.padding=‘10px’;

This Node code takes up only 2 lines and there are 0 spaces.
Essentially, we are saving lines, spaces, and files (delete
your .css documents!).

JourneymanCoder, I run a QA as a service company and we employ only certified QA people, in our office - no sourcing random talent from Upwork. We also have a lab of ~110 devices with different screen resolutions to test services on. That’s physical devices and real people testing on them. The pricing is straightforward - a fixed fee per platform per hour. Would you be interested in test-running our service for free (a few hours of testing + an hour of reporting) in exchange for honest feedback? If interested, feel free to reach out - contact info in my profile.
You haven't given an explanation. This isn't a question of "viewpoint" or "interpretation". The words simply don't mean what you're trying to claim they do.

No, the names are shortened because the original Unix was meant to be used over slow connections, and every character not typed was time saved in command execution. We don't have those concerns now, and so to make code unreadable for the sake of conciseness is not really useful.

Cracking JWT Tokens with Node.js and ZeroMQ
Yeah, I think that's definitely good advice. isatty can be a good way of deciding which defaults to use, but it shouldn't be the only way of accessing functionality. Note that the flag might say "pretend isatty said yes/no", or there might be a few flags that independently mediate all of the things set based on isatty.
If you schedule it on Kubernetes as a pet set you could give each container a consistent virtual disk from your cloud provider. Of course... your cloud provider also has SQL as a service, so that's probably a cheaper option.

Exactly. And when your installation is quite minimal, there's a very small change the updates will mess anything up. My arch installation has been running without problems for years because I don't have any massive desktop environments installed and all the development services I need are launched through docker.
I'm just going to assume this is meant to be sarcasm/satire... right.. RIGHT?
This title's grammar is mangled and confusing on HN. The $160000 was for the developer, not for anyone else. The "for those who use Facebook ads" was a separate clause saying who the post is for.

I know HN approves of original titles but also disapproves of sensationalism and exclamation points. I would suggest something like:

App developer says: "Facebook stole my $160000"

I use Homebrew and CMake as well, but it certainly has not been as smooth as my CMake scripts contain a series of fixes for MacOS. I also like CPack, but there's been less consistency with MacOS. Bundles don't work for multilanguage libraries since things like mex files can't be packaged as a framework. PackageMaker was deprecated since Yosemite. OSXX11 is really X11 specific. DragNDrop sort of works, but it can't run any post install scripts to do things like set environment variables, which, again, the process for doing so changes from release to release and whether or not we're on the console. Conversely, the WIX generator on Windows allows me to package everything as I need it to. Though less nice, NSIS also works well.

Certainly, that's not to say that everything is rosy and cherry on Windows. I just did a cold build from scratch on a new Windows license and it honestly went as well as it did because I know exactly which tools to get. Mostly, it's that after banging my head against both the Windows and MacOS ecosystems, I can build a new development system vastly faster on Windows and have few headaches.

As a quick note, thank god for the Homebrew crew as that does make things much nicer.

As a final note, some of these headaches would immediately disappear if I could virtualize MacOS since it would fix the console login vs desktop login problems. Also, I could actually fix problems when working on an airplane.
A complete shame, but this isn't new. This is the digital equivalent of call your local paper and kick up a fuss.
Do you know if these manufacturers then suffer any more from IP theft because of the more open policy? Or are the NDAs here used more as a 'serious customer' vetting tool so they can concentrate their support efforts towards these customers?
> not enough resources allocated to backport fixes

Which is just silly for someone like Apple

That is not how security works. Again, it is just silly for someone like Apple to believe only the latest release needs security fixes.
Or, you could use JavaScript and do something in 30 seconds rather than fiddling with CSS.

Why do people try so hard not to use tools that make their life easier?

Well, CHIP Pro is not suitable for this use case. I would recommend RPi3 because it have more CPU power, more USB ports (you can connect kb and mouse without using a hub), built in Ethernet and HDMI port, so you can connect HDMI and DVI monitors directly (DVI with passive adapter). CHIP have only composite video out of the box (as well as RPi) and in order to connect HDMI or VGA you need to purchase additional "dip" board. So, to round this up, RPi is better except you need VGA, in this case CHIP + VGA DIP is probably a better choice, but it would require an USB hub.
I absolutely agree! While we can discuss about why SCSS is better, it is more like comparing Volvo with Mercedes. In the end, CSS is the standard, not SCSS. And CSS is evolving and getting better and better.

How to read web specs Part I – Or: WebVR, how do you work?
It's not possible to import two different versions of a module in the same module.

If a depends on x v1 and exports this dependency then your application also imports x v1.
If b depends on x v2 and exports this dependency too that means your application is transitively importing both x v1 and x v2 which is not possible.

If a or b only use instances of x internally and do not accept instances of x as parameter or return an instance of x they don't have to export their dependency on x.

If either a or b do not export their dependency on x then there is no problem. Your application will only depend only on x v1 or x v2 directly.
Perhaps they needed Javascript ;)

Shame on Facebook! Shame on Instagram! Shame on Twitter! I consider this a despicable act on the part of these companies. They stopped this data selling only because they were caught. Using data internally to feed to algorithms to show targeted ads is one thing (though privacy wise it's bad). Selling data outright to other companies is a terrible state of affairs. It's sad that this won't make a big dent in the user base or make people flee these platforms in large numbers.
That's extremely expensive for Berlin. 24 per Meter. 8 to 12 is considered expensive. 6 was the old standard. I pay 15 but I have top floor with balcony and skylights
I switched from Chrome to Safari 5 months ago. The memory usage in Safari is far more superior than Chrome / Firefox on OS X. Also the CPU usage is relatively low, which means more time on battery for me.

I still use Chrome for development, though.

Safari, is not as bad as IE6 was and anyway no professional front-end developer would make a website that is not working properly on iOS Safari, so it's kinda obvious it will stay supported for a long, long time.

So I would consider what the OP is doing with the CSS, something that might also work on Safari, but with some polyfills.
Unless you work at FB or have other info, I would definitely doubt that. Assuming this claim is legit, FB has not done a lot to instill any degree of confidence(for me) that they are a user-centric organization willing to compromise & work with customers.

FB, much like apple, is a closed off "our way or the highway" type company. It is utterly massive which not only gives it huge power, but makes it difficult to even find a human to rectify an issue. So I hope you are correct...but i doubt it.
Oh please. Safari 10 (both desktop & iOS versions) is the only browser with 100% ES6 compatibility. All browsers have some issues (e.g. Chrome still does not support 'sticky' position, Safari hasn't implemented Service Workers, etc), that's part of the multi-vendor / open-standard game.

I've tasted a few bean based "chef" veggie burgers that were quite close especially malted ones that replicated some (good) meat flavors somewhat well.

I'm happy there is a non soy alternative comming as i don't touch most soy based products because they contain a lot of soy protein.

I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan just don't mind having a good and healthy alternative to be able to use if I do need to host those who are or just feel like getting of meat for a few weeks.
After that I appealed to them many times but never got the answer.

I must be missing something somewhere. This story doesn't sound right to me, but I don't know the systems involved.

Can somebody tell me how over 100K can be at stake and this guy can't even get a real person to talk to? Ok, I understand the old "push popular stuff on the web and let the robots handle support" routine. But 160K? Really?
You can also copy the article title and run a google search for it. WSJ isn't paywalled for links from search engines (Google for sure at least, not sure about others).
I see it a bit differently: They may be interested in integrating Beyond Meat into their distribution pipeline with this purchase in order for their investment to pay off.

And why not? Growing animals for 300days in very poor conditions while paying pesky humans to take care of them, slaughter them, slice them up and transport them.

You can just mix a couple plant-based ingredients and produce a decent burger instead at a fraction of the cost and time - it scales way better.

Then you have all those reporters with their hidden camera of what goes on in those factory farms - why do you need all that bad publicity anyway.

This is good publicity for them, cheaper to produce, healthier for humans and the environment. I cannot see a downside to this for any company or society.
Actually, I did not participated in the Kikstarter campaign, but I purchased from the web site. So, my assumption is that if the company is trying to do regular business it must act like regular business.

"This is a battery with its serial changed to 0xFFFFFFFF. When a PSP battery serial number is changed to 0xFFFFFFFF, or unreadable, the PSP boots the IPL from sector 16 on the physical drive (the Magic Memory Stick). This unlocks the service mode of the PSP and launches the IPL from the Memory Stick (instead of from flash0). A regular battery can be made into a JigKick via hardware or software methods."
I have no idea why people use Chrome.

Chrome/Google has terrible/no support of many browser layout & interaction features, such as CSS Regions & scroll snap points.

Also, Safari is just a much better browser than Chrome. We need to make sure people stop using Chrome and move to the default browser in their environment - Safari & Edge.

If you support the default browser, then you're going to be fine.

Thanks for responding with the ISP's point of view. My frustration came from just wanting to run a small Ghost blog on an odroid with, at most, hundreds of visitors per month, and hearing that this required a business contract. Of course, whether I want to do this for business or pleasure doesn't really matter if you're dealing with malware and being blacklisted.

At one time ISP's gave you a bit of space on a shared host for free as a courtesy, it would be nice if these days you could get the equivalent of a t2.micro. I know a few people (teenagers I'm related to mostly) who would like to mess around with programming and building web sites but for whom even a tiny cost is a barrier. As it is I throw a few bucks at nearlyfreespeech for them and it's good for a year, but I imagine plenty don't have that option.
Do any of the examples use Javascript? Or are you saying the site shouldn't use JS for syntax highlighting or whatever, even though that's not the sort of thing it claims JS isn't needed for?
No doubt. However, in the past, we physically couldn't do what we can do now. At the moment, this is a EULA problem. If Apple changed a single line, that'd solve a ton of problems for developers and they can still have their packaged experience.

No, you can't act against the interests of the company as a voting shareholder (or any for that matter, you can't buy shares and dump them at a lower price repeatedly for example effectively spending money to devalue the company).

Depending on the shareholder agreement you will also be bound to additional guidelines to deal with conflict of interests and voting etiquette.

Safari does have longer release cycle than e.g. Chrome, because Apple provides very uniform / polished support for wide range of devices (Macs, iOS devices, including very old ones such as iPhone 4S).
But on second though, CHIP have a 4GB on-board storage, and or RPi you need to use removable micro SD card. I'm not sure if kids and removable micro SD's is a good combination, it may be ok, may be not, I just don't know.
