> I like to think of it as 'outside the current set'.

Yes, if it exists (as an element of some set), then it is definitely outside the declared set of values. The main question is how we can formalize it, particularly, by defining the set NULL is a member of. For example, the following general approaches are possible:

o Extend (any or some) set of values with a special element (NULL)

o NULL = 0 (empty set)

o NULL = <> (empty tuple)

o Treat NULL as non-existence which entails having no-op if it is met, for example, 2 + NULL + 3 = 5 (just delete NULL which means skip it).
One thing to keep in mind is to try to imagine what the world would be like had insecticides like neonicotinoids not been put into use. Sure, there wouldn't be pollution from them, but would there be other negative effects?

Let's not forget that DDT, PCBs, and CFCs have contributed greatly in positive ways too. If they weren't used, the planet would be less polluted but we might have nowhere near the same quality of life as we do today --- just imagine how people lived several hundred years ago. It's hard to say, really.
Eh, there’s a difference between the parent comments (“voters elected...”) and yours (“voters selected ... [regardless of] the result of the election”).

Your statement is technically still true if only 1% of voters chose a given party. The discussion above is whether a given party was given a democratic mandate to enact its policies. When the fundamental idea of a democratic election is rule by popular consent, the fact that the minority has rigged the system to give them wins despite lacking majority popular consent undermines the very idea of election.

That some portion of the people still “selected” a given party is irrelevant. Entirely.
If you read "Command and Control" by Eric Schlosser it provides further proof for that. At the height of cold war, US had over 400 missiles ready to strike Moscow directly, purely because of lack of coordination between different forces(so US Army wouldn't share their attack plan with US Navy or the Airforce, so combined they would have launched over 400 missiles at Moscow, a complete overkill).
Your mental leap here is greater than Mao's.
By going there in a browser (and specifically to the mbasic version), you weed out the javascript tracking and bloat, and your adblocker gets to weed out the ads and sponsored content nonsense. As a bonus, there are no auto-playing videos or any of that other junk. That is the problem with using the app (and apps in general): They try very hard to prevent you from blocking ads and sponsored content.

That frees you up to use Facebook for its actual useful function: Handling events and possibly the most genuinely important updates from your friends, without the bloat.

The pared-down user experience in the mbasic version is the entire point. I already filter out everything I don't consider important, and using the mbasic version is another step in the direction of reducing distractions. It also doesn't do the weird re-arranging of discussions and broken infinite scroll that the app does.

It's simply a much easier and less annoying experience.

Mehmet Akif Ersoy’un Yazdığı Bülbül Şiiri Sözleri
5% false discovery rate is true if the apriori probability of each result is 50%. If a journal wants to publish only surprising results, and accepts p=0.05 with a good methodology as true, it will have higher rate of false claims, because the most interesting things are more surprising than a coin toss.

And if you slice the data from a single experiment in 40 independent ways, your chances to get something with purely random significance p<0.05 are better than 50% for a single study…
Why are systems like this connected to the internet?

Because there are some things that need to be safe; some things that need to be connected to other things; and some things that need to be on the internet.

Consider an automated warehouse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAXdeqcHBp4

Internet <-> Website <-> Stock control system <-> Stock inbound station <-> Conveyor control system <-> Emergency stop monitoring system

It's possible to make such a system safe, of course. But a company making a web browser has their defences tested and their security spending validated by unceasing attack. The same resources might be hard to get in an industrial automation company if the higher-ups think "there hasn't been an attack, and they already have a firewall, a VPN and a virus scanner, whatever those are"

looking at you, javascript NaN

That's not a JavaScript thing, it's an IEEE 754 floating point standard thing and is the same in every programming language that implements that standard (which is basically all of them). But for some reason only JavaScript developers seem to be bothered by this.

Furthermore IEEE 754 floating point numbers don't have many properties that you'd expect from 'real' numbers. For example addition is not always associative and the distributive law does not always hold.

Another way could be to monitor the number of unique IP addresses connecting? That will get harder with IPV6, where you'll probably want to do it on subnet level.

Also, automated DNS monitoring could work too.
You could use Ingresses, the nginx controller has the widest support and feature set, that would handle managing sockets for your application.
It doesn't "mean" that the a priori is 50%, I guess what you want to say is that if we consider the a priori probabilities are equal between the two hypothesis, then we can use the 5% p-value.

But if the probability of the hypothesis is much less likely, we might need a p-value much lower to be sure.

Fox-IT is unrelated to Fox, so it's not the internal IT department of Fox. Fox-IT seems to be a company from Netherland.

@downvoters: what's your problem? I wasted 5min reading the news, until I found out that it's a minor known company, and not related to "Fox". And then I inform others on HN, but then I get downvotes, yeah right - toxic

It's not just in the title, it's in the first sentence:

> (Reuters) — Silicon Valley investor Shervin Pishevar, known for his early bet on Uber Technologies Inc, said on Thursday that he would sever ties with his venture capital company, Sherpa Capital, after being accused of sexual misconduct.

Is it controversial to note that Pishevar's fame -- which presumably allowed him the runway to create his own VC firm -- came from his early big move on Uber? He was also an Uber board member and very public defender of Kalanick: https://www.wired.com/story/uber-shervin-pishevar-kalanick-l...
Wow! You don't hold back on the stereotypes do you? Practically none of the people I know do this. Infact they tend to do better wage/house wise than the general population if you take a look at the data.
By no restriction of spouses on E3, it allows a person to do any job including being a Walmart cashier, hairdresser anything like that - which generally tend to be lower paying jobs - even less than 60k. There are people on h4 ead making more than 120k+. So it's not even about low wages as well. If you take a look at all the decisions taken on immigration over the past year (Muslim country ban, GC lottery and chain migration policy potential changes, extensive rfe on applications)it looks like an attempt to make immigration from non-"Western" countries tougher - which is perfectly fine. It just shouldn't be packaged as something else.
> how can you know there’s no fraud?

Because the FBI has repeatedly investigated these claims and found them lacking in merit. Various academics have studied it. Police departments have been called in. There’s never anything noteworthy there. It’s one of those things for which there’s no evidence of meaningful fraud, which everyone who has -bothered looking into the issue- knows, rather than proclaiming “but there must be.”

Nope that's not a mistaken understanding on my part at all.

Obviously you pay for what you use. but say a start-up starts blowing up and in the way of things isn't making money yet (as many early stage start-ups don't)

If their niche happens to be a bandwidth heavy one the ISPs can and probably will start levying charges on them as they grow, which the start-up will be in a poor position to pay.

and that doesn't even touch on the possibly anti-competitive aspect.

Say an ISP has a competing service, do you really think they won't try to throttle start-ups in that area using bandwidth charging? Given that US ISPs already have a record of doing exactly that.

Almost nobody in the world is 'anti-environment'. That's a ludicrous claim.

Documentation of “my system”, using documatic
The party of deregulation cannot base its policy goals on facts, by definition. Because the idea that regulations and government intervention are universally bad and all sectors should be deregulated is a dogma that has been disproven by facts many times. So any party with that ideology goes against facts.

For example, in healthcare, it's more than proven by countless studies that countries that provide universal healthcare not only provide better healthcare by almost any metric, but also spend much less in it than e.g. the US. So anyone that defends the broad idea that government intervention is bad goes against facts, period (as does someone that defends the idea that it's always good, of course - the only position compatible with facts is that some sectors may need more regulation and some may need less, on a case-by-case basis, with some individual cases arguable).

By this analysis, you can average between 5 and 15 more resources over the course of the game vs unloaded dice, and then goes on to show that there aren't enough dice rolls in a game to prove the dice are loaded.

The problem here is that you don't get the expected number of resources in every game, and there's no analysis of the variance. I suspect that the result of insignificance is correct, in that this "cheat" provides such a slight advantage that it won't materially affect a single game. By the time you've played enough games to reliably use the advantage, your opponents will have seen enough die rolls to show their bias.
I really enjoy these fun thought experiments.

The only thing I didn't see clarified though is whether the die was loaded using the water only once, or whether they re-loaded the die every night during the week they were testing.

From what I heard, that was more like "aggressive salesmen." Perhaps Musk wanted a different more Tesla-like approach to sales, then the sleazy salesman persuading you to make the purchase at all costs. Even if that strategy results in more revenue in the short term, maybe Musk thought he doesn't want Tesla to be known for that type of purchase experience.

Ah, fair enough. I mean, I'm not debating the power of Lisp, and it would be great first languages for someone not trained in programming. OTOH, there is of course the trade-off to make it as useful for as broad a selection of users as possible; Python has a lot more mind-share, and the SciPy ecosystem would be a great complement.

If Excel adds some practical convenience functions to the global namespace, would it be that hard to make Python fit the reactive paradigm in this context?

About those variables: maybe the Bumblebee tool she and her team made[0][1][2] would work for you

Our language is an extension of regular Excel formulas,
so you can write a transformation like

A1+A2 <-> SUM(A1:A2)

which allows BumbleBee to transform exactly the formula
A1+A2 to SUM(A1:A2) or vice versa.

In addition to using exact cell references, you may also
use variables instead of cell references:

{i,j} + {i,j+1} <-> SUM({i,j}:{i,j+1})

I hope it can be useful to you! :)

In the video I linked before she mentions it at 31m33s. Oh and here[3] are the slides for that video, in case you prefer those.

(Disclaimer: I don't use Excel myself; I'm just a programmer who wants to get more people into programming, so I was both happy and impressed when I saw her presentation on how people not trained as programmers use it to do really complex tasks)

> It's crazy that by using a p-value of 0.05, it means that 5% of all scientific results might be false.

That would only be the case if scientists were robots who immediately published anything with a p-value up to 0.05. They're not, though. If they get clearly nonsensical results, they will obviously re-evaluate it. In other words, the p-value doesn't incorporate the fact that the experiment passed sanity checks in your own head (and the reviewers') before it was published. (And yes, there are bad actors in every field who game the system, but my point still stands.)

Creating Dynamic Pivot Table with QUOTENAME Function
The JSON Schema spec was abandoned by its original authors, and was picked up by a series of other people with varying levels of standards experience (myself included).

Personally, I had some promising support from my then-employer (including an IETF connection), but then it kind of petered out, and I was buried under other stuff and had to pass it on. The team who picked it up since them seem pretty on-the-ball as far as I can see, so I would still recommend it as a useful project to contribute to.

It is supported by some tools - last I heard, Visual Studio could use JSON Schema for autocomplete and validation, as well as a couple of databases. I used to get a few million NPM downloads a month on my validator, so someone's clearly using it.
I never really understood json for config files. It's not that readable. It's great for data exchange and relatively human-readable representation, but if you ask people to actually write and maintain it, why not yaml / toml / ...?
From my reading, literally the only change between RFC 7159 and RFC 8259 is that the latter mandates an UTF-8 encoding. Checking Appendix A "Changes from RFC 7159" mostly confirms it:

* Section 1.2 has been updated to reflect the removal of a JSON specification from ECMA-262, to make ECMA-404 a normative reference, and to explain the particular meaning of "normative".

* Section 1.3 has been updated to reflect errata filed against RFC 7159, not RFC 4627.

* Section 8.1 was changed to require the use of UTF-8 when transmitted over a network.

* Section 12 has been updated to increase the precision of the description of the security risk that follows from using the ECMAScript "eval()" function.

* Section 14.1 has been updated to include ECMA-404 as a normative reference.

* Section 14.2 has been updated to remove ECMA-404, update the version of ECMA-262, and refresh the errata list.

So

* RFC 8259 requires UTF-8 encoding (for network transmissions)

* ECMA-404 has been upgraded from Informative (14.2) to Normative (14.1)

* Wording has been improved or fixed in some cases
