The null hypothesis signifies a lack of relatedness. Give circumstance A and outcome B, we make no assumptions, i.e. we assume A and B are unrelated by not assuming they are related. This is the null hypothesis. In order to reject that, we must provide compelling evidence.

If you start by assuming A and B are related, your experiment would have to fail reject that notion in order to prove that A and B are indeed related, which is a less direct way of approaching scientific discovery.
There is no reason whatsoever that such a system would have to be implemented with taxation.

A source map is the ability to say, for every character in a minified JS file, "Which source file did this character from? Which line and column?"

Note that there are a few types of source maps that vary in quality, so sometimes you don't get accurate column info. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:qYxqOqD...

The cool thing is, it's really easy to throw together a toy language with first-class debugging and tooling, thanks to sourcemaps. See coffeescript and lightscript for two ecosystems to emulate.

Sure you can create a twitter clone all by yourself, but good luck scaling it to ~150k tweets per second writes[1]. All the while ensuring they're fanned out to all the respective followers some of whose tweets may need to be fanned out to tens of millions of users in a matter of seconds.

You'll need 30 engineers just to build and maintain the datastores, caching mechanisms, and service deployment infrastructure. You then have the actual services, real time streaming platforms, streaming applications, batch infra (hadoop), analytics pipelines, notifications, security, anti-spam, recommendation/machine learning pipelines, ads infrastructure etc to name a few.
Can't find it now, but there should be a circa 2011 architecture of twitter in one of the blogs somewhere. I recommend you have a look at it.

If you're comparing it with WhatsApp, note that WhatsApp messages are mostly 1->1 and it's easier to shard the servers by recipient. Also, not having to bother persisting all the messages forever simplifies the system by a lot.

The transition in eye tracking may be especially dramatic. From 1500$ specialty item to 1$ MEMS at Mega-unit scale in perhaps one year. Until scale, there's no reason to price low, blocking adoption.

I was talking to someone not-quite legally blind. VR, what's in it for them? Well, a lot of input tech and haptics possibilities are getting unstuck.

It's not just market prerequisites, but also perceived market validation. One might make an HMD with 4x-linear greater resolution than current, with existing(?) panels. But "who would buy it?" The game market is somewhat established, but not yet a fit. The professional/commercial market is less established, but a candidate. So maybe next year, priced at 5000$ to 10000$. And if it turns out there's a market for screen substitutes, perhaps a 10x price decrease the year after.

The OP's comment is very good because the discussion in the article is quite misleading about what they accomplished. It's also apparently self-serving; apparently marketing material for Wolfram. As your sibling's post makes extremely clear, classifying handwritten text from the Edo period is a much, much, much more difficult problem. In fact the samples they have taken for training are so unstylized that they might just as well have done an article about recognising modern hiragana hand writing. That would be very cool too, but would have gathered no interest because it is a well solved problem.

I have no problem with people doing fun projects and explaining how they did them. I have a bit of a problem with people apparently making exaggerated claims about their product's capabilities.

TL;DR: It's important, but no real explanation of why.
In theory, a miner could try to manipulate the hash of the future block to change the outcome. It is much more difficult with Bitcoin, where valid blocks are more rare and produce a high income, but with Ethereum blocks are so frequent that it might be possible to collude with the mining pools is done on a large scale.

Additionally, how does this deal with Proof-of-Stake algorithms? Ethereum is heading there, and as far as I am aware the blocks would no longer publish hashes.
I felt the piece implied that organization is a universal good, to be desired by all workers. My comment was intended to register that at least one person, my self, does not want to be part of a union, or put in a position to choose between being employed with a union or unemployed without (due to unions bullying and leveraging companies to coerce membership). I guess I could've used more words, and less emphatic language, I can't do anything about it this point.

And for what it's worth, the votes did ping-pong around quite a bit, which means that at least some people understood the point I was making in so few words, and felt it was worth promoting.

1) I'd rather lean towards Hanlon's razor
2) Obama was actually quite mindful of int'l law and seriously restricted aerial strikes
3) Once Trump came to power, the military has been allowed carte blanche, and they basically wiped Mosul and Raqqa to take ISIS.

As for your first paragraph, the point is that if you double-cross the enemy on a deal on made with them, then they won't make any more deals with you, and the U.S. needs leverage in Syria more than anyone else. So it's likely that the U.S. said, "you get out of Raqqa, we'll let you get to Albukamal or [whatever other place], and after that you're fair game again." Otherwise why would these jihadists have taken the bargain? They knew they would be a sitting target without assurances of safety until a destination.

I still remember my First Time. As a very novice coder (it was in the 1980s so I was young) I was using Microsoft C 3.0 (I think) and couldn't believe my program didn't work. It took understanding the assembly to discover that it was a compiler bug. It shook me to the core; before I had never even imagined that something like this could be wrong.

I later did find bugs in GCC (version ~ 1.37), but since it's pretty robust these days, notably the regression suite is a lot better than it used to be.
Sure; I'm just complaining about the _existence_ of `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.telemetry`. I'm not comfortable having tracking so near user data.

I feel like this is one of the weaknesses of gonzo-ish journalism where the author spends some time partaking in some sort of lifestyle change.

Almost invariably, they spend too little time often using sub-par pursuits/techniques and end up not accomplishing anything or justifying their previous biases that allow for maintaining the status quo.

This is understandable given the constraints of deadlines and funding and the difficulty in finding the right things to do in the right order. It's unfortunate because it frequently leaves people with the impression that nothing works.

(Exceptions include books like Born to Run, Moonwalking with Einstein, etc.)
Basically, the chance that it is a compiler bug is proportional to the inverse of the number of people using it. You probably didn't find a bug in gcc. It's definitely possible that you found a bug in some bespoke javascript interpreter that few people have ever even heard of.
It doesn't require wear leveling like SSDs do. It's like RAM in that regard.

r/politics isn't a great example: it's always been left-leaning, and from what I saw at the time, efforts appeared to be focused on motivating the Republican base to vote for Trump, and to drive Clinton voters to apathy or complacency. Neither of these would be achieved by trying to convince Clinton's fervent supporters on r/politics.

Plus, it's a bit of an equivocation to suggest that today's top posts can be evidence that an influence campaign a year ago didn't work - the campaign was a year ago, not today.

Once upon a time Facebook had a similar idea for their app [1] (similar to the OP's use case, because the preview photo was to be included to the initial response).

There's no question that they are. NVMe drive prototypes that use DRAM as their backing memory instead of flash or some other persistent memory have about the same overall latency as Optane SSDs.

With NVMe, the storage industry is in a much better position to take advantage of 3D XPoint than if we were all still using SATA or SAS, but it's still on a peripheral bus not a memory bus.

It’s a secondary metric and investors only carry about the revenue/profit. (Look at Snap, whose user count is growing, and stock price is not).

And since FB advertisers are paying for engagement, not impressions, the amount of ad fraud is likely insignificant.
No. This is something entirely different entirely.

Mining a cryptocurrency goes something like this: spend a ton of money investing in a state of the art server farm, hook server farm up to mining pool to earn Bitcoin, withdraw Bitcoin for money, spend money to upgrade your now obsolete server farm.

In addition to being needlessly inefficient, server farms are causing significant harms to the environment in ways that traditional currency does not, and is causing increases in electronics and electricity prices due to their high demand.

Proof-of-Stake is a way to solve this. Instead of computing power determining who creates the blocks (and earns the transaction fees/block rewards), and instead of miners spending Bitcoin to make Bitcoin, miners put their cyrptocurrency in a form of a lottery, with the winner writing the block without using any computing power. The result is the same, but much more efficient and without the environmental cons. It also may make the network more secure, since an attacker would need 51% of the wealth in the network in order to compromise it. And even if someone gained 51%, they would not attack the network because they have the most value to lose.

This article is also about using a lottery, but for a very different purpose. Microtransactions are difficult with current solutions, because vendors like PayPal, Visa, and Cryptocurrencies usually institute minimum fees. This system get around this system through the use of a lottery. As an example, instead of paying $1 to 10 different sites (say in a pay-per-view of newspaper articles), you pay with a reverse lottery ticket. This lottery ticket has a one in ten chance of winning, and if it does you have to pay $10. The resulting payment is the same, but all your payments are in large sums so that transaction fees are taken care of. If the newspaper receives 10 reverse lottery tickets, they will receive equivalent profits to charging each customer $1. Therefore, the customers pay the same and the sellers receive the same, but without transaction fees eating up nearly as large a percentage of the transaction that a micro transaction would.

Both systems use a lottery powered by blockchain randomness, but the similarities end there. The purposes and the meaning of the lotteries are completely different. In the case of the latter, it is actually a lottery you don't want to win.

Thanks for all the recommendations! My question came from a sort of personal anecdote. A situation that made clear how many people are successfull because they play in the “grey” area and usually the people just trying to do the right thing get screwed.

Of course thinking that the doing the right thing gets you the best results is naive but I still think it’s knda crazy to know that a lot of people we consider to be references might be there because they played dirty a few times while climbing the ladder.

Micron has shown a few prototypes, like an SSD using a controller from CNEX Labs, who are best known for their open-channel SSD work.

> Fake profiles still count towards ad-revenue

How? Unless the fake profiles manage to generate significant amount of ad fraud along the way, the advertisers still end up paying for actions, not impressions.

Why would an operator of a fraudulent network click on ads, sign up for third-party newsletters, install promoted mobile apps or do whatever else the dominant ad unit in his/her feed would promote?

iirc there was some way to figure out what version of WebKit a given iOS device was using and it was definitely pre patch.

Surely they must sync up, but when? Unless you work inside Apple there's just no way to know. Pretty frustrating as a developer trying to build for their platform.
