slightly off topic but i remember a study from 2010 where it was found beetroots could help with older adults brain health

the sample size was not huge (14 i think) and it was cited nitrates are the beneficial agent. It would be interesting to see if there is any association between the suggested offending microbial activity and nitrates in vitro before moving on to some sort of in vivo model

"The government" in a parliamentary system, in this context, refers to what we would call "the administration" in the US, i.e. the Prime Minister and his ministers. And almost by definition, the government controls a majority in parliament ("almost" because it is possible to have a minority government) and has a high likelihood of passing its agenda. But the proposed laws do change a lot as they go through consultations and committees, and intra-party negotiations. There is a sizable libertarian wing of the Conservative Party.
Not calculate, estimate. You come up with a simple mathematical model- often just adding or multipling a few numbers together. It's not magic, he just had a good sense for including all the 0th and 1st order terms.
If it wasn't for the national dick waving contest that we call space exploration, it wouldn't matter that NASA isn't from the nation running a vehicle project. But out of everything that NASA does what gets attention? The fact that it's not the nation sending rockets up. Why? Because it's not about exploration and expanding knowledge, it's about dick waving.

I laugh at all this talk about going to Mars to save the human race. We're just going to show up, if we get there at all, and fuck it up just as hard as we have on Earth. We're a species of idiotic assholes.

They're dressed up versions of "correlation != causation". Low thought comments appealing to people with not-even stats 101 knowledge.

There is no such thing as a perfect study, and a generic version of the OPs comment could be copy and pasted on any study ever. Unless you study the entire population of the planet, you're going to miss subgroups. Unless you study the entire population of the planet, you're going to need some sort of selection criteria. Unless you have infinite funding and time, you're going to need to make trade offs and sacrifices in your experiment design.

A study will disclose these shortcomings for readers to balance the significance of results against.

Take this complaint from OP:

>* The sample size was tiny. (20 students)

What sample size would satisfy him? Why is 20 too small? 40? 80? 1037? Is he basing his opinion of a proper sample size on his gut? 20 just doesn't feel right?
I find the American rule of having one representative per district flawed, as it gives an unfair advantage to large parties. In the Swiss system, I can cast 20 votes if my state has 20 representatives. This allows a party who get 5% of the votes to win a seat. Also, voters are free to vote across party lines as they like, but one can vote at most twice for the same candidate. That allows to influence the ranking of candidates within parties, which is for example not possible in Germany, where the voters can only choose between pre-arranged lists provided by the parties. The Swiss voting system allows for much more elaborate voting strategies than any other. I, for example, usually start with the list of my preferred party and then remove all lawyers and career politicians, because I think they are over-represented. I wonder why there aren't many countries that copy the Swiss system of electing the parliament. Maybe because it gives more power to the voters than typical politicians feel comfortable with?
You are probably correct. Edited to remove my intense distaste for believing things you see on a web site without doing a bit of basic research.
On July 19, 2010, Shirley Sherrod was fired from her appointed position as Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the United States Department of Agriculture.[1][2] Her firing was an administration reaction to media reports on video excerpts from her address to an event of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in March 2010 and commentary posted by conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart on his website.[3] Based on these excerpts, the NAACP condemned Sherrod's remarks as racist and U.S. government officials called on the official to resign. But, after a longer version of her address was reviewed and her remarks were understood to be about the importance of overcoming personal prejudices, the NAACP and White House officials apologized. In addition, United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack apologized for the firing and offered Sherrod a new position.

"Good neighbourhood" = Ask your child to only use Facebook. Don't let him go near the train station. Leave the Google Safe Search by default. Let them use a video player, but download the content yourself.

"Signs all over the place": I don't remember seeing the sign "Warning: Guy selling drugs here" in the backstreet next to my town hall (Lyon, France, not a small city), nor the "Beware of aholes" sign in my highschool ;) and I especially remember 3x4m panels of ads for dating Minitel site (in France) with the curve of a woman's back: The bad world has never really been separated from children, but we'd teach them. I would teach my child to not click on ads, blinking stuff and bodies if they still meet any. They'll have to resist when the hormons kick in, so they'd better learn young.

Then, monitor him/her/ah. It's not normal, for a child, to sit unsupervised at a computer for more than a few minutes. Place the computer in the living room, not in their room. They exactly know what to do and where not to click when the parents are around ;)

Which means: Problem solved. Yes, some may fall addicted to porn or see curse words, but only if parents don't spend enough time to supervise them, pretty much like in my youth. But at least, other citizen remain untracked.
Luckily the filters always included way too much stuff, so calling to have the filters off wasn't ever a conversation about "I want to watch porn", but "I want access to this website about testicular cancer".

The problem with that is you effectively give partisans two votes: a strong approval for their guy and a strong disapproval of your guy.

It's worth noting that there is a mathematical discipline of studying voting systems. Approval has been studied quite extensively and seems to have fewer flaws than most other methods—though it has been proven that no method can be perfect.

I also prefer Approval Voting (although if it were an approval vote, I would approve of both Approval Voting and Ranked Choice, heh).

One question to ask yourself to figure out which system you like better is what the outcome should be of this election:

Candidate 1 is loved by 55% of the population and despised by 45%. Candidate 2 is loved by 45% of the population and despised by 55%. Candidate 3 is tolerated by 85%.

Approval Voting would choose Candidate 3. IRV would choose Candidate 1. Who "should" be elected?

Yes. I search for children's content on Youtube. Youtube returns children's content. We click to play, and I get a pre-roll ad for a horror film, or alcohol, or gambling.

An iOS app advertises itself as suitable for ages 4+. It contains ads. Those ads are sometimes for gambling, or alcohol services. I'd say that app isn't suitable for children, and the uk regulator is looking at that.

They talk about these uses on almost every episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. He has a lot of researchers on who describe their usage of psychedelics to treat depression in particular. They describe it as "brain reset" or more like a chance for people to stick their head out of the fog, giving them the opportunity to see how they're stuck in a negative cycle. I just wonder if it's like a Tony Robbins seminar, super motivating and informative, but with little hope for long-term effects unless you keep going to seminars or eating mushrooms. Is there no hope of genuine change in your thought patterns outside of long-term psychoanalysis or a spiritual awakening of some type?
My primary concern isn't leaks or shaming. What I really have a problem with is the role of government here. Elections are not perfect, that's why we have separation of powers. But it's hard to see how any government imposed solution can be implemented without upsetting the balance and opening the door to government censorship/manipulation further down the road.

The responsibility to block this content should be with the parents and the free market. As a parent I can already purchase content filtering services. The UK government is meddling in an area it doesn't need to, with potentially disastrous consequences, presumably for PR purposes.

There's only one type of vote fraud that voter ID laws have a hope of defending against, which is in-person voter impersonation. In-person voter impersonation statistically doesn't happen in the U.S, and there's a reason.

In-person voter impersonation is just about the least efficient and highest risk way to manipulate an election. You would need to physically go to a polling station, impersonate a registered voter, hope nobody recognizes you as not that person, cast a vote, hope that person doesn't actually show up later to vote, and then travel to another polling station to do it again. And also hope nobody just notices that you voted at both places, a real concern in this age of ubiquitous cameras. You have something like 18 hours at most to do this, so with optimistic assumptions, an individual could vote maybe 36 times at a high risk of getting caught.

Even something like absentee ballot fraud is more efficient and less risky. However, absentee ballot fraud is still less efficient than gray and even positive/legal uses of your time.

Gray methods would mostly include voter suppression in districts that don't favor your outcome. The town I grew up in made national news this last primary for having a massive traffic snarl and long lines around its single polling station, after closing the second one for budgetary reasons. People were giving up after waiting multiple hours to vote. There may not be anything illicit there (certainly nothing provable), but you can see how that might be done "accidentally".

Positive and legal methods would mostly include things like voter registration drives, phone work to remind and encourage people to vote, and even physically transporting people to the polls.

> In open source software the solution to this problem is
> "well, you could always just host your own instance"

That doesn't always work though - end-users can't trust you more because you host it instead of using the version hosted by the OSS team for whom it's the main focus. (Arguably they should actually trust the latter more!)

Consider Keybase for example. If someone builds a service on top of Keybase, their end-users can't trust them with their private keys* if they host it themselves instead of using upstream hosting.

*I know this is not required in order to use Keybase - I use it with gnupg and keep my keys local. It's the easiest example of needing to trust Keybase, though.
I really doubt that this is going to be reported as separate accounts to the credit agencies, it wouldn't make any sense.

The author messed up. Titles and "Proper Nouns" should be capitalized. The title of a book, the title of a movie, the name of a town, the name of a building, someones name, etc. Although this isn't the case when the title contains words like the or of or some other minor word.
Google Drive (the web app) does something similar to this (at a high level anyway). You can open a file from the Drive website in Photoshop, Word, etc and make changes with your desktop software and when you hit save it is actually saving the cloud copy. So the file stays in the cloud but you can use any local software you like or need to be productive.

I believe this uses a Chrome extension at the moment but extensions are also web based for the most part so the idea is solid.

Taikonaut is the word sometimes used for Chinese astronauts in English language journals and Taiwan and Hong Kong. It's mix of Mandarin and Greek (naut = sailor in Greek). Chinese call their astronauts hang tian yuan.Indian astronauts will be vyomanauts.

No, for many people they would never need an ID until it came time to vote. The problem with most of these newly enacted voter ID laws are the additional restrictions on what type of ID is permitted, and the extra burden on getting said forms of ID. It's not so much the requirement of having proof of identification, as 31 states have had such laws for years.

For example, in some states, I would no longer be able to use my government-issued military ID -- which arguably has stricter requirements for obtaining than a driver's license. A lot of these new laws weren't enacted to reduce fraud (which isn't even that prevalent), but to make it harder for certain classes of voters to exercise their right to vote.

Unauthorized recurring charges shouldn't hit your real credit card since Final is the credit card issuer in this case, which means they're the ones that ultimately decide if a credit card charge is allowed to go through.

Think of them as a bank that has issued you a new credit card, except they're not actually giving you any credit, just a CC number/PAN.
It doesn't. It's one account that has essentially has multiple account numbers. It's the activity of the underlying account that matters, not which account number you as an end user use to access the account.
Tokyo is one of the most walking/biking friendly cities I've ever seen. Once you get out of central areas like Shinjuku/Shibuya, there are tons of lovely lanes where cars are technically allowed but so rarely go that the street is just filled with people walking. So you don't need to cart your kids everywhere. It's so safe that Japanese parents let their kids walk to the grocery store to run errands for them. Having grown up in suburban America, I hate the feeling of being stranded after school waiting for my parents to pick me up, or not being able to explore or go to the comic store in the shopping center myself. Once a kid is older than 5, Tokyo would be amazing.
