His example isn't Simpson's paradox. I don't think you can have an analogue of Simpson's paradox in this case (if every subgroup votes more for Ronald Clump than Tirllary Swinton, then Ronald Clump wins, period). You could have something like: women are more likely to vote for Trillary Swinton in both districts than men are, but overall women still vote for Ronald Clump more than men do. That would need one distrit overall voting for Ronald Clump and also having lots of women in it, while the other district votes mostly for Trillary Swinton but has mostly men. For example.

Generally, the products Google offers for free involve them using the data you put into it to tailor their products and services to you.

Brilliant move.
If anything, I'm pretty sure the Hollywood financial model predates (Silicon Valley) venture capital by around a half century.

(Indeed, the idea that you can fund a nascent business at a deep discount in return for a share of ownership in the hope of large returns is as old as money)
I'd say it's rather likely, if you're the type of person to give up and get takeout, that you'll probably end up letting some of your Blue Apron meals spoil before you cook them. The recipes were a bit more complex/required a lot more dishes than I'd normally use for a weeknight dinner. They market it as eliminating prep work, but it was kind of canceled out by the rest of the steps.

I'm also not 100% sure the impact of shipping individually wrapped ingredients in dry ice directly to your door is really that much less than takeout.
I agree, I think Saints Row has been a particularly good franchise at realizing that it can be a ridiculous power fantasy and lean into that and have fun with it. It even includes things other games would consider "cheat codes" as eventual unlocks, and that also adds to the fun and the mayhem. SR4 even does the best job of directly integrating that into the explicit appeal and story line in its "superhero powers" progression work.
It was on -4 before I made the edit, now it is on +10. So I'd like to think that the edit at least helped some people try to be a bit more objective which is always beneficial. Or it could be a coincidence.

I think it's just that people get caught up in tribal thinking very easily, and while the commentators on this site would usually be interested in discussion on the comparative advantages and disadvantages of free trade, Trump's message on protectionism have driven some people into a corner of having to be anti-protectionism to remain true to their 'tribe'. It's pretty unfortunate how quickly we as humans can fall into a trap like that: "I hate person X, person X believes Y, therefore I don't support Y".

Four Rooms is a great example of Roald Dahl's work..

Four Rooms is a 1995 American anthology comedy film directed by Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino, each directing a segment of it that in its entirety is loosely based on the adult short fiction writings of Roald Dahl, especially Man from the South which is the basis for the last one, Penthouse - "The Man from Hollywood" directed by Tarantino. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Rooms

I don't know what I was on the scale, but at some point the only thing keeping me aluve was the fear of inflicting a traumatic experience on my 8 years younger sister. Making an 8 year old discover her dead brother would be just a shitty thing to do.

The obly thing that finally helped, even after meds (I think) didn't do much, was a very solid "Fuck this, I don't want this anymore" and willing myself out of it by forcing myself to become a workoholic. It gave me interesting things to do and kept me distracted from the ultimate pointlessnes of it all.

Eventually the pointlessnes became my greatest asset. If nothing matters, then you can do anything right? Why give a shit about how a thing turns out, just try.

My psychiatrist at the time said that the meds gave me space to will myself out of it but who knows. I'm sure it went hand in hand.

On the other hand, it's been 13-ish years and too much leisure time still gets me sliding back towards a pit of despair. I'm probably not cured at all, just coping, and I'm likely to have to continue coping forever. Like a former drug addict or alcoholic.

Bringing the matter to the public stage and attempting to hold Beijing accountable is the best available option.

Will this influence Beijing? I don't know, but I doubt it.

I don't disagree with where you are coming from, but it sounds like you are endorsing giving up.

Matters such is this will take decades, now is not the time to give up for the Hong Kong or Chinese citizens that seek freedom.
I don't think this is really Simpson's paradox (which is named after Edward Simpson, from 1951). In Simpson's paradox, you have a statistic X that is lower than Y in both of cases, but overall, Y is higher than X.

It would sound like Simpson's paradox if one candidate won a higher percentage of the vote in both East and West springfield, yet lost the election. But this is of course impossible.

Simpson's paradox arises when you compare two different percentages, say belonging to Candidate A and B, across two different treatments, say East and West Springfield, but you don't compare the sample sizes. It doesn't apply here because everyone who votes is assumed to vote for either A or B.

An example of Simpson's paradox would be like this. We look at the percentage of their own party that a candidate wins. Then it could be that Candidate A wins 90% of the Democrats in East Springfield while B wins only 80% of the Republicans; and in West Springfield, A wins 60% of the Democrats while B wins 50% of the Republicans. Yet, due to differences in population between East and West, A overall only wins 65% of the Democrats while B wins 75% of the Republicans.
I'm a bit peeved polls didn't open until 9AM in New Rockford ND when the state (and a fair number of farmers) said they would open at 7AM. Wonder what that would be on Google's chart.
Nope it isnt, its up to me as user to decide when to update, what Signal/other-app can do in such case is provide a simple in-app messaging system "Hey there was a vulernaribility, read more about it here in this message". Then user can decide.

And not "hey user, take this update which contains backdoors since the main developers got gagged/blackmailed, trust us this time for real".
I agree that there are legitimate reasons for these permissions, I just don't think they match up with everyone's use case for the product. This is why they should be split into plugins.

Example of how the UX for this works:

1. User chooses "attach photo."

2. If user has not installed the plugin, Signal gives them an informational prompt and a button that opens the app store link.

3. User clicks the button to go to the app store.

4. User clicks "install." Application is installed (should be quick, small app)

5. User can now attach photos from external storage.

Steps 2-4 are short and occur only one time. You would not want this kind of extra friction in a true mass market app, but I'd argue that Signal is not and never will be mass-market. (We can hope, but it's not likely.) Signal's target users, on the other hand, would be likely to appreciate this extra focus on security and user control.
Don't get me wrong: We absolutely need both

But fixing the client when the host is still insecure/unknown is just going to move the target. If messages are secure, governments are just going to move to the OS-layer.
Do you personally review every bit of code that runs on your device? No? Then you're trusting someone else who claims it's secure. No different than trusting Apple/Google.
For someone who has basic background knowledge in ML and wants to know more about NN and DL, my list would be:

* Neural Networks and Deep Learning (http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/) - perfect overview, go over it twice at least (the second time you will understand much of the decisions in the start)

* Tensorflow and deep learning, without a PhD (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEciSlAClL8) - as much as I hate video lectures, this one was worth it; a good complement to the book above

* Theano Tutorial (http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/tutorial/index.html) - using Theano or TensorFlow takes some getting used to. I found TensorFlow documentation absolutely horrible for beginners, probably because the authors expect users to already know such frameworks. Once you learn Theano you won't have trouble with TensorFlow (if that's what you want to use).

Then there are more specific papers, but I guess those depend on the problem at hand.
Story time:

My father complained of virus and malwares on his computer.

I came home, formatted his hard drive and re-installed windows.

I go to eat lunch with my mother in the kitchen, a few minutes later I hear "[baby], I have a virus on my computer!". WHAT?

The first thing he did was to google for "chrome" on internet explorer and use the first result. The first result is a google ads for a malware containing chrome. Had to reformat his computer one more time. I think that's the moment where he got it.
It is moderately condescending, but it is very handy to describe average technical competence and what to expect from said humans.

Things need to be straightforward & familiar for normies (eg. Pokemon Go vs Ingress) and you can't expect to hold a high level conversation with a good chunk of them, whether that be about mathematics, policy (so much circular logic), reality (citations & sources are not a thing many normies are willing to use), etc.

That being said, its not all bad, just set expectations accordingly, just like you would going on HN. I do not expect the average HN reader to understand much about traffic dynamics and the minimal efficiency gains that may come with self driving cars, or the sheer volume of people a moderate sized light rail network can move in a timely manner, so I set my expectations very low.

Its like talking to a Microsoftie about rail or self driving cars, there is a lack of knowledge (the fact that Amtrak runs trains from Vancouver to Seattle to Portland and is paying BNSF to make the route more reliable) and a conceptual barrier that I do not expect them to rapidly grasp (bullet trains need dead straight rights of way, no exceptions).

Edit: Apparently I can't reply to you, nevertheless I picked up normie as a term in meatspace, and while it might not meet your sensibilities, I do not see a more accurate term, and I'm not here to intimately know & defend your sensibilities. Same goes for asking me or telling me your pronoun, great for you, I give not a single shit, use what you want and cut to the chase.
A 100% increase in searches for "voter intimidation" in my city (Seattle) is interesting. I'd love additional context on who is searching for that (i.e. is it the intimidators or the fearful?)

Nonetheless, this seems like the beginning of an interesting tool. What would it take to do some sort of fuzzy matching on related searches, like broken voting machines for voting machine problems? I suppose you could wait for a related term to breach a threshold and begin tracking it with related terms.
Huh, I thought that speed of sound increases when pressure decreases, but it seems to be the opposite.

As a Korean, it infuriates me to see a Korean president who genuinely seems to be incapable of making rational decisions with the country's interest at heart.

Choi Soon Sil (lovingly called Choi SIRI by the people we'll call her CSS) comes from some Korean shaman society.

CSS's father was a leader of some shaman cult and claimed that he could speak to Park Geun Hye's mother who was assassinated by a North Korean agent.

The Choi family grew very close to Park Geun Hye, and it was presented that they used their closeness to the First Lady (Park Geun Hye took the role after her mother's death) for profiteering and corruption.

After the assassination of Park Chung Hee (Park Geun Hye), President Chun Doo Hwan, a loyal disciple of the deceased president, exiled CSS's father.

It is alleged that President Chun Doo Hwan's corruption revelation was orchestrated by CSS to avenge her father.

In an economy dominated by a handful of family dynasties, it seems that in order to continue this asymmetrical system that puts so much burden on the Korean people, president's office and the people surrounding it are almost certainly likely to peddle influence which Chaebol (Korean word for conglomerates) gladly pay large amount of sums for (since the return on investment by paying off a Korean politician is massive - you could win military contracts, license for monopoly etc.).

This system is now beginning to show cracks. People have completely lost trust in the system.

There's even rumours of a military coup, how ironic, that the current president whose father overthrew the first Korean president Rhee with a coup, is now expecting one herself.

Yep. And my trust in an entity goes down every time they make things obviously more difficult. They’re counting on users becoming tired of navigating or just careless, while technically complying with any laws because everything is “possible” by going “somewhere”. I loved the original Google and Facebook, both in terms of interface and behavior. The new versions of those companies/products are so bad that I have used them both less and less each week for years now.
> and made a fool of myself.

Good. you got out there and made mistakes. Now you can learn from them and you wont ever be that bad henceforth, hereunto. I made a total ass out of my self the first few programming interviews I went to. First one, recruiter called me (woke me up at ~10am) and I thought I'd show "initiative", I said "sure Ill be there in 2 hours". Went totally unprepared, didn't even bring a copy of my resume. They even lectured me about improving my interview skills.

Second one, I made the mistake of asking my potential coworker "what college he went to", thinking anyone in an engineering profession went to college. The manager interjected that he was 'self taught', this wasn't a total faux-pas on my part, but it created an awkward moment where I didnt really know what to say. I further erased any possibility of getting the job by getting too relaxed/comfortable and blurted out that I'm really groggy in the morning (cringe). I learned quickly, eventually got good at interviews, and ultimately got a job at bloomberg, which is fairly difficult to get past their interiew process.

So dont take it out on your neck, pick yourself back up and make a list of things you can take away from your experience. you have no other direction to go than up.

I bought the cheap one (Lenovo) sometime ago. It has a good battery life, very lightweight and compact. I have seen the same being used by many people (in the same category). It is the most trouble free and productive piece of material there is.

doubleyourfreelancing.com has a lots of relevant, good advice (and some paid content I can't vouch for).

Basic idea: maximize value for customers. Don't get paid by the hour, get paid by resulting value.

How much money would a customer make if you did A/B testing? You want to take to get paid for the resulting value, rather than saying "oh that was two hours work so I'll get paid for two hours".

Which of the skills you have would maximize value for customers?

1. For "modern C" it would be K&R, then learn Haskell; especially take note of its type system and how you can apply what you learn there in C.

2. The C standard draft, your compiler(s') manual and man pages if you're on POSIX. Also pencil and paper for drawing your arrays.

Clarification about 1: Haskell has good solutions to a lot of problems that have plagued programming, learn them because they are not language-specific but are mindset-specific. The advantage is that once your mindset changes, you start paying attention to off-by-one errors and potential overflows and overruns. You also start paying attention to using the correct types in a C program and you start taking advantage of enums to reduce the space of possible states in each function in your program. Once this clicks, memory management is a breeze.

Also learn the mindset of solving the problem at hand and nothing but the problem at hand. C is not a language for creating abstractions everywhere, it's a language for writing down as little steps as possible to solve that specific problem.

Lack of feeling emotions is a defining trait in schizoid personality disorder, certain flavors of depression, and dissociative or trauma based disorders.
