> You avoid the green jelly bean problem entirely.

Not entirely. Quite often, the big fishing expedition research is done on things like epidemiological data sets, where you've got a million monkeys with a million typewriters trying to publish a million papers, all based on one data set.

Under that kind of situation, assuming that everything works out perfectly, after the first pass you'll have some random non-negative number of hypotheses that were collected from fishing that you're going to test again. And those tests will also have a 5% type I error rate, so the fishing expedition will still have a problem with multiple comparisons. Your cumulative risk of a type I error will be mitigated, but not reduced to the traditional 5% (or whatever alpha you were shooting for).

Meanwhile, your risk of a type II error will have been increased considerably: You're replacing one test of a relatively high statistical power with two tests of relatively lower power, and set up a situation where a type II error in either of them yields a type II error in the overall test.

Not saying that there's no value to approaching things that way, but it's not the free lunch you're suggesting it is.
I'm definitely not the first to think of it or build a tool for it (lots of similar projects gave me inspiration), but I think I'm the first to make it really fast and with a nice usable UI. And to actually open source the code so others can build it themselves.

I think saying the Arctic will never be frozen again is a bit dramatic. We're coming out of 1,000 year ice age which means we've, geologically, had an ice age recently. With continual reduction of greenhouse gases by our growing efforts we could be open to a building of the arctic in the next 500-1000.

Changes in any combination of the following could trigger a new ice age: solar radiation levels, volcanic activity, circulation, orbital forces often associated with earthquakes, changes in the global climate, and war resulting in a decrease in the human population. Please read the evidence below and comment if you agree or disagree.

I found the article very insightful. I spent the weekend reviewing Dropbox's S1 and had the same issue - they are not being completely honest about their cohort retention numbers. They have created some new metrics/charts that show increasing value but doesn't show the real metrics - what is specific cohort churn etc. This article mentions that very clearly.

Don't get me wrong - Box's initial S1 also had some very abstract cohort metrics. They took some very early cohorts and extrapolated from that. I think they are more open now as there is more stability in those metrics and they are moving in the right direction.
> You know how it feels when you are at a social event, and just can’t seem to get along with anyone - alienated ? Depression makes you feel like that, even among friends.

To me, this is the worst part about depression. At the time I most need other people around me, it drives me further into isolation. I am lucky to have some people in my life that care enough to not give up on me and drag me out of it. That always seems to be the first step towards healing, getting back in contact with other human beings.

(Don't get me wrong, I am in a good place right now. This just stirred some unpleasant memories.)
The company I work for does a lot of defense sector work, so most of us have a clearance.

I know of zero drug use besides the occasional social drinking. It seems like half of us, including me, practically live off of caffeine, but that's it. Using any drug could result in loss of your clearance (and hence, job), so if anyone were using, they would be unlikely to let it be known.
The word "protocol" is a big red flag that you should be using a state machine.

The words "event loop" probably mean you need a state machine.

If "time" is an input variable, you probably have a state machine.

One thing I don't like is that you seem to repeatedly be asking if people felt "pressured" to take drugs to catch up with their colleagues or what their "fear" is. If you want to know why, you should ask "why", and not push your own narrative with leading questions. I think a lot of people, including myself, would actually tell you that they take performance enhancing drugs simply to make themselves the best version of themselves, not to compete with others. The fact that these people are highly competitive is simply because they are over-achievers.
A useful app with a super entertaining landing page
That's interesting. I got a lot out of it:

- He seems to believe Dropbox is superior technically.

- Box is Dropbox's closest competitor.

- Fundamentally there are two ways of making money from storage, enterprise direct-sales and consumer self-service.

- Box has self-service as a loss-leader for direct-sold enterprise accounts, and accounts for the operating costs of its self-service accounts as a marketing expense.

- Dropbox doesn't; we don't really know Dropbox's cost of customer acquisition, which is a big deal for a consumer product.

- A much greater percentage of Box's accounts are paying customers

- Box can put together customized offerings for enterprise customers in ways Dropbox can't and so Box has negative churn.

- On the other hand, running the business this way means that the early investors in Dropbox (including Drew Houston) kept a far larger part of the company for themselves.

- Box is outperforming Dropbox in the market.

- Atlassian is outperforming both of them.

- File storage is probably not the strategic high ground for enterprise computing, something Thompson used to think.

Dropbox is about to go public. An analysis that suggests they're a niche company is a big deal. Dropbox's investors will be betting that they're not.
How to build and scale a SaaS billing solution
Ask HN: Small footprint vs. ambition
I have always liked the idea of keeping one's footprint small. Perhaps that happened because of how I was brought up or because of my introverted nature or because of the literature that I came across. This has helped me to have less baggage and be able to move just about anywhere, without even a slightest emotional disturbance, and that has served me well in my tech career.

However, I have been realizing that I haven't had any sort of ambitions for as long as I remember. I have always gone with the flow, without thinking or working too much for it. But I find this has started creating problems for me. Without a guiding star, I am getting less inclined, day by day, to make any sort of effort.

The issue I think here is that ambitions are essentially wants, a thing you want to achieve without a logical tie to your existence, and by training myself to keep my footprint low, I have essentially trained myself to have a few wants, if any, thereby killing any ambitions that might come from those wants. I am unable to find a reason out if this. I.e. if keeping footprint low is the way of life, then how can one have something to work for?
There is enough competition around Dropbox although they are the biggest one.

I think the true reason you don't see too much fierce competition, is because of little profit you can make off of offering a raw storage, even with awesome client.

Even the almighty Dropbox alone may never be profitable...

Indeed I did - in fact, you might have noticed that I quoted part of it. The first and last sentences of your post admonish the person you are replying to for jumping to conclusions and falling for confirmation bias, yet the closest you get to stating your grounds for believing they have ignored contrary evidence is your own personal opinion about neuroticism. Confirmation bias, of course, is the selection of data that supports one's bias, but here you are not even attempting to offer data in support of your contrary bias. A valid claim of confirmation bias needs more support than the fact that you don't agree.

Actual hierarchical state machines are pretty common for driving a variety of things.

My understanding of hierarchical state machines, is that they're equivalent to Context Free Languages in terms of computational power.
Well, the real answer is years of on-the-job experience, but to give you a super-brief version:

It's a common pattern that new managers want to treat direct reports as a set of extra hands. That's fine for the purpose of getting code out the door when developers are junior, but it's irritating at mid to senior level, and it doesn't help anyone grow or think for themselves. Your job is to train them to do those things.

Ask questions. Wait for the answers. Then ask follow-up questions to help them identify problems with their solutions. Self-discovery is more powerful than being told the answer.

Think about their career growth. Ask them about what areas they want to grow in and then try to give them those things.

This is an interesting question that I'd like to answer now that I have all the data. I am curious to see how long it will take to find a solution as I believe even the most efficient algorithms for this have a high runtime complexity.

And yes, the graph is not connected (there are both nodes with no outgoing links and with no incoming links), but over 99% of the pages are connected, so the answer would still be interesting and worthwhile.
Exploding E-Cigarettes Are a Growing Danger to Public Health
When I'm in a bad enough shape to go to the hospital, going home is not my priority, getting better is.

I'm not saying that patients want to go home before they're ready to be discharged. But for non-emergency procedures, patients will almost always opt for a minimally-invasive surgery which allows them to go home sooner rather than a more invasive surgery even if the minimally-invasive surgery is less effective.

I think your example of Maxwell makes my point. Let's assume Christianity for a moment, since Maxwell was a Christian. In order to accept the consensus of evolutionary theory while still maintaining one's faith, one must either cherry pick ("the Genesis account was wrong"), compartmentalize ("I accept evolution as true and ignore the conflict with my faith") or appeal to the problem of interpretation that all religions face ("Genesis was obviously not meant to be taken literally and is mere metaphor"). The last option tends to fall under cherry picking itself since it changes with time. Until evolution was accepted as fact, it was mostly taken for granted that the Genesis account was literal. Now days, unless you adhere to creationism, you must assume part of your theology to be metaphorical under no rational basis or risk being outed as a fool that believes in fairy tales. Thus, while Maxwell was a great scientist and definitely had smarts in that area, it would seem to me that he compartmentalized, accepting a philosophy as true that his own scientific pursuit would otherwise find false. A modern example would be William Lane Craig who I find to be a very eloquently formed speaker and obviously quite learned, but for some reason, ignores basic scientific truths in order to preserve his faith.
Oh no I didn't mean to imply that in a negative way at all. Its like NY, but way cheaper. My friend bought a nice 2BR condo in a building with a doorman and a pool and balcony on the 30th something floor for 300k. A different friend of mine is spending every other week there for work (we both moved to the same company HQ'ed there), considered buying a crashpad 800 sqft 1BR in "the loop" aka right downtown for a bit over 200k. These are prime locations where you can walk or bike to work. A few stops out on the red line to the north and you can get a lakefront (with a view) 1000sq ft 1BR for <200k as per my trulia search a moment ago.

Salaries are lower than NYC, but not that much. A dev on hacker news should be able to comfortably afford not only to live on his own but to own a place on a single income.

It still has good parks, museums and restaurants, but they are in my experience far less pretentious, and with a few exceptions (ahem Alinea), much easier to get into. There are clubs, there is art, but its all just a bit more muted.

A lot of people love NY for the extremes and the "OMG only in NYC" stuff but I find Chicago to be a cleaner toned down version that doesn't take itself too seriously like NYC often does.

Right, because food today is more expensive than food yesterday, since we are growing so much outside our means, we are clearly consuming all the natural resources and devouring each other for that last piece of corn.

Human behavior is not thermodynamics. To the very least, the day were all the resources in the universe have been consumed by its living beings is so far away that it is absolutely irrelevant and inapplicable to our society.

There is no true political good will to reduce the number of homeless people in SF.

It takes a two pronged approach, both 1) advocating compassion and help, and also 2) enforcement of laws.

Help must be in the form of guarantee of food and some sort of basic shelter for people into a tough spot, and enforcement for people that regularly break laws, sleep/urinate/defecate on the streets, etc....

Non-profits are not inclined to do anything about 2, and often will decry-hamper any effort to fix this. Here is some food for thought: Why does San Diego, which has much better weather than SF, has a much lower level of homeless people?

TLDR: Non-profits, and radical liberals, have created an environment where homeless folks are encouraged to move into SF and nothing is truly done for their condition. As the joke goes: If you are homeless, move to SF, as your friends are already there. Most of homeless folks are people that came from other states, and not Bay Area locals, which means SF has become a collection point (or dumping point), of most homeless people from all other cities of the west coast.

The cynic would say follow the money: and if you follow it, non-profits have no real incentive to fix the problem. On the other hand, building more housing is so tough that this situation is guaranteed to get worse/or stay the same, and never improve in the near or mid term.

I think it is more a sprint vs a marathon. Many people don't ease into drug usage nor do they try and follow any way to actually tell if they are getting any gains from it. We see this in all aspects of life specially in sports where athletes might actually hurt their performance because they start doing something like some oddball workout that is suppose to improve you or by working out more to try and get gains. Without data, numbers, and a third party watching you then you have no sure fire way to tell if you gaining anything from drugs. People abuse them hard starting out thinking they are a silver bullet, then burn out fast.

It's not hard. And they're not. You're friends are paying 1K-1.5 to have a room. In the end if you have to pay as much for a room in city A as a whole apartment or mortgage in city B, you are getting paid less. To expand, both the the average and median price per a room per apartment is readily available and easily calculable. If a 2BD is 4K in city A and most people put 4 people in that apartment that doesn't mean all the sudden that it's the same deal as the same 2BD in city B that only cost $1K a month because most people don't share the space. The share cost is still a function of the actual cost, and easily computable and available in every city. Many people in Seattle split apartments and pay 500-600 per a room. They just aren't forced to because on average per cost of goods they get paid more. If anything Seattle has the calculations set up against it, as it has much much smaller city boundaries than NYC.
