Regarding your first point, that's not what I meant and you know it. Dark matter is the current theory explaining many different astronomical observations. It explains quite a lot of observations, so something pretty conclusive will need to happen for people to abandon it. Either new observations will disprove it or a new theory will come about that makes some prediction that can be observed that cannot for with current theories. I hope something like that happens! New science would be so much cooler than dark matter, but at the moment it doesn't seem likely.

I'm not sure I see how your second point is relevant. You seem to imply that I think that academics are infallible in all areas not even related to their expertise. Do you truly see no difference between non-statistics researchers incorrectly calculating statistical values and dozens of unrelated experiments all leading to the same result?

Russia Will Beat NASA to Mars and Find Water on the Moon, Says Putin
The only way true isolation will emerge, is by regulatory mandate of a purpose defined hardware implementation, with a separate protocol, different datagrams (instead of TCP/IP/UDP packets) and independent land line plants, undersea cables, satellites and more.

Otherwise, you'll always have some goon plugging in a wi-fi router, rigging it to a sat phone with a modem, all just to play quake with their friends, while they idle on some crane barge, or wherever their stuck, bored on some hurry-up-and-wait project plan.

Even then, you'll still have wonder about silicon bugs, or tempest and row-hammer style attacks, for anything software ever touches, when a given industry fails to identify such threats themselves.
Of course, the point is moot if the journal you're submitting to only takes LaTeX.
For anyone interested in this subject, I highly suggest Life Unfolding: How the human body creates itself[1], by Jamie Davies. No one really knows the full story, but what we do know or suspect is pretty amazing.

In my experience the abstract statement "The downside is that it is a
very time intensive and complicated method of writing papers. " is just incorrect.

There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you are past that it is much less time intensive that writing papers in a word processor. This effect is magnified with longer documents.

That may be somewhat domain specific. And to be open about my biases, I also think that Word's "track changes" is a pretty poor collaboration tool.
Sure. Suppose you live on a sunny carribean island and own a banana plantation and sell bananas for export profitably every year and live a normal life and raise a family.

Then someone comes along and creates a shipping trust and corners the market on boats leaving the island and says sell your bananas to me at a loss or leave them on the docks to rot.

Option A is to sell them at less than the cost it took for you to pay your workers to harvest them, option B is to watch them rot in a matter of days.

Yeah sure the free market says that this will cause someone else to come along and create a shipping alternative. But the shipping trust knows this too. So they say if anyone tries to compete with us we'll drop the cost of shipping off the island to free temporarily until your new shipping business fails, and then go back to high rates.

Nobody will finance the new shipping company given this predicament, so they can't even get enough money together to buy a boat.

Meanwhile, the trust is making a total killing selling bananas at premium prices while buying them below cost, rapidly building a war chest to permanently be able to outlast even a well funded upstart shipping competitor in a price war.

Yes the "free market" should solve this problem but the whole point is that trusts and monopolies subvert the free market and prevent market forces from functioning. Thus the role of government in stopping them.
I feel like the guy who's about to say "what about all of the good things Hitler did?", but does patent trolling invalidate the good things this guy has helped contribute?

I feel like that the tech community, for all of our preaching about meritocracy and rational discussion, we have no problem piling on a fair amount of demonizing of people who engage in things we don't agree with, but may have some social value.

One person's patent trolling is another's patent protecting.

Again, none of this to defend his worst actions, but it's not like Satan created IV and uses it to eat children. Yes, this is a puff piece, but I'm always surprised that our community has no issue crapping on some people with no acknowledgement of anything positive they add.
Pride can be good and bad. Being proud to succeed as a single parent, or proud of being the first to graduate university in the family.

Proud to be black or proud to be white.... Getting iffy depending on context. Of course, the opposite would be troublesome, ashamed to be black, or ashamed to be white.

iHeartMedia does more than radio they also previously owned a bunch of television stations and do billboard advertising. You may recognize their former name "ClearChannel" a little bit better. I would say this not only signals how difficult it is to make money from radio broadcast but how difficult it is to make money from any type of broadcast. They make use of a bunch of towers and satellites which I think is probably where the returns are failing in comparison to the internet. That whole industry needs to change anyways they are all living in a different age. This is what happens when the leadership of such a big corporation becomes so exclusive they fail to adapt and promote people with fresh ideas. They live an extremely narrow vision of reality- so now this vision is paying them all back the dividends that they earned.

For average salaries, why does this survey not display the sample size and variance of these mean estimates? Also, I doubt that mean estimates are the best measure, rather than medians. I say that since salary data is probably multi-modally distributed with some very high earners and a largely left-skewed distribution with many low earners who do the grunt work / are less experienced.

Ask HN: Tips for resigning a remote position?
I have new work coming on the horizon, and am looking for tips in how best to resign. When I was a collocated worker I simply approached my manager and gave the news and notice. That was easy because I dropped in on them all the time.

In my current, remote, position, it is not as clear what to do. I have daily team phone calls, and communicate via email for pretty much everything else. In 3 years I have phoned my manager directly four times.

I want to respect everyone's feelings as best as possible, as my leaving will have a huge impact on the team (bus factor 1.5 or so).

Anyone have advice/stories about how this went for you (from either side)?
I saw rumors a few days ago that The Grand Tour has already been canceled after the already ordered season 3. Really hope it isn't true because it is one of the biggest draws of Prime Video for me.
Totally agree. Cooking/cleaning is the hard part, not shopping. Especially with grocery delivery available within <2 hours. Also, and I'm not overly "green" but, the amount of waste generated with a weekly shipment just felt excessive.
There's a huge difference between a proposal and a law.

I would argue that Hacker News does support hashtags, just not officially, and not user-defined:

Ask HN -> #ask
Show HN -> #show
Tell HN -> #tell
Launch HN -> #launch
Who's hiring -> #hiring

Comments here seem to assume that hashtags would have to be implemented exactly as they are on Twitter, where anyone can tag their comments with any tags, which wind up appended to the text of the comment itself.

Obviously, that wouldn't work with HN's culture, but those are implementation details, not requirements. And as far as search goes, the purpose of hashtags (when used properly) is to basically make searches more efficient by providing a set of common keywords directly related to the context of a comment.

Hashtags could be added to Hacker News without much disruption - lobste.rs uses them and I don't think anyone would accuse that site of having descended into lulzy random chaos as a result of them. It's just a matter of having the implementation fit the culture.

The ability to add tags, like the ability to flag or vouch, could be conditional, based on karma and revocable if abused. Tags could begin in a hidden state similar to dead comments, needing to be vouched by the community and to pass a certain threshold of votes to become visible. Tags could only apply to threads (not comments) and could be limited to, perhaps two tags for a thread.

Also, tags could be hidden by the user if desired (this should probably be the default.)

It is possible to enhance user experience without degrading the quality of the site, or being intrusive. The list of new features people assumed would destroy HN, but haven't, includes thread folding, show HN, mobile styles, vouching for dead comments, and even fixing a bug that would cause comment links not to work after a few minutes.
Blue Apron is sooo time consuming. Everything arrives just rolling around in the box. You need to sort it, then find a place to put it in your own cabinets and refrigerator. Their time estimates for cooking are often off by half, and the recipes are hard to follow. I really don't like Blue Apron.

Some of the others I like have the food for each meal all come in a single bag, so I don't have to keep track of it in my fridge. My wife usually handles these and she switches them up frequently, so I can't remember all of them, but my favorite is Terra's Kitchen, because it has the least waste, and short, accurate prep times. All the items are numbered to match the meal they're for.

The headline makes it sound like a huge number, but when you break it down, it's minuscule compared to traditional broadcast.

The most recent Academy Awards show was the lowest rated in a decade, and it got 26 million people in what's called "live plus same day" which includes for people watching on their DVR's shortly after.

That's 26 million people in just a few hours for one show in one country. Amazon's five million came from 19 shows, "airing" across an entire year, in however many countries have Amazon Video.

If you were to break it down by same-day viewership, Amazon's ratings are lower than a local news show in a very small market.

I'm not criticizing Amazon, at all. I'm a paying subscriber and think it, Netflix, and similar services are a better vision of the future than what the broadcast and cable nets have put together. But it's way too early to tout the death of the broadcast industry, as so many like to do.

Also, The Grand Tour is awesome.
Seems the obvious confounder for that correlation is that countries who win olympic medals actually care about curling. Whereas, those countries where there is not enthusiasm for curling, why would a researcher be inspired/motivated to study these phenomena? I doubt the researchers are directly affecting the play of any curler, since the researchers themselves can not understand the curling of the stones anyway.
It's funny how old religious ideas are simple observations in a way. By doing something everyday you just accumulate lots of subtle knowledge and roots in any domain. So mathematically you have lots of chances to get it right at one point. More than "luck" to me the main factor is a blend of inner desire and context that allows you just enough time to think and do.
I don't understand why LaTeX is considered hard. I wish people would try TeX out first as well. You literally type stuff and a paragraph comes out. Enter a blank line to separate paragraphs. It can't be much easier. LaTeX just adds some macros to make it easy to make a title and section headings etc. Once you become proficient at entering equations in TeX it's incredibly fast. And you won't even need to render them to read them after a while.

> One can achieve something like 95% of the visual appearance of native LaTeX documents with a one-time investment of an hour or less work

Yes, and one can use LaTeX and achieve 100% with a similar one-time investment. I really don't understand this. To produce the document presented here LaTeX has absolutely no extra overhead compared with any other tool.

I suspect the misconception comes from the complicated looking tools like TeXnicCenter etc. If people saw me writing LaTeX in emacs (with zero buttons or other complications) they wouldn't think it was complicated. It's just text.

Still, if people insist on using Word for whatever reason I'm glad if they make the documents look nice like this one, even if the page geometry is way off (use Komascript).
Water is complex; surface tension like effects can happen in thin films of it other than at the surface. At greater speeds, these are reduced so the Magnus effect is reduced.

I believe this[1] is the article in which the author, Matt Levine, introduced the phrase “blood unicorn”. That article continues with a quote about Theranos's “bait and switch”; the author concludes the section with “‘There will be an appropriate time and place to talk about the past,’ said Theranos; my guess is that the place might be court.”

EDIT: This article[2] (also by Matt Levine) predates [1]. “And here is a unicorn being barbecued in what looks like a medieval manuscript that I will just assume prophesies the coming of Theranos. ‘And lo, a Unicorne shall come among ye, and ye shall call it by the name Theranos, or in the Old Tongues, Elasmotherium Haimatos. And it shall take your Bloode, but only a lyttle bit of your Bloode, and it shall do strange Magick upon said Bloode, and tell ye many Things. But then it shall come to pass that its Magick was [makes 'so-so' hand gesture], and that those Things were mostly not true. And ye shall barbecue that Unicorne.’”

Lots of comments pointing out how obvious it is that the paper was not typeset with real LaTeX, but I think that's a little beside the point. Scott isn't arguing that it looks 100% as good as LaTeX. The article cites research that suggests that writing in LaTeX hurts productivity, even for expert users:

We show that LaTeX users were slower than Word users, wrote less text in the same amount of time, and produced more typesetting, orthographical, grammatical, and formatting errors. On most measures, expert LaTeX users performed even worse than novice Word users
My status on this is that the model could be a good model, but that hasn't been established. You cannot reason from "the outcomes look like reality" to "the parameters and mechanisms in the model are the same as the parameters and mechanisms in reality." That is backwards.

One thing you can say is, "IF reality's parameters and mechanisms are like this model's, you would expect the outcome that we in fact observe in reality." This is evidence, if not particularly strong evidence. There are infinitely many models that lead to the similar outcomes that we observe in reality, and an even larger infinitely many models that don't.

Go the lawyer route now. Even if it is not a very expensive lawyer, get a lawyer to draft the agreement. If you do it yourself, you just don't know what things you are missing.

It is not just about funding. What if you start growing without funding and then suddenly you realize you don't have a solid agreement in place. It could be too late by then.

I hate lawyers but they are a necessary evil because when shit hits the fan, you will need one anyway. If shit never hits the fan, good for you and that is the price you pay for hoping shit doesn't hit the fan.

Interesting argument. The problem about this particular investigation (which I can only assume here) is that the available data did not offer relevant information about the tracking of the lettuce.

If the required information _did_ exist but wasn't accessible, then you are right in saying that the non-centralization of the data is a problem. I guess the problem then lies in the fact that information is siloed in different businesses. A solution to this could be the concept of federation, where all such businesses use an agreed-upon protocol/platform, but all can use the client of their choice.

> BBC handed Amazon a win on a silver platter.

Their hand was forced. Clarkson punched someone. They can’t just countenance physical violence because it’s a successful show. That would have had serious ramifications (rightfully so).

For all intents and purposes: Clarkson left. He gambled, and won. But it was a gambit, and I doubt Amazon execs will be keen on taking hits themselves. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had some circumspect wording in the contracts related to covering exactly that case :)
