> Were I to run 100 independently designed experiments that all tested real effects, my choice of p-value does not determine the number that erroneously find no result.

That's actually not true. The problem is that you cannot define what is a "real effect" without begging the question. Let me illustrate with an example: Suppose I do what appears to be a legitimate experiment to test a well-accepted law of nature. Unbeknownst to me, my instrument is faulty (or has been tampered with) and is in fact returning essentially random results. If I choose p<=0.05 then I will get a positive result 1 time in 20, i.e. I will "erroneously find no result" 19 times out of 20. Except that I'm not really erroneously finding no result. I am correctly finding the results of a different experiment than the one I think I'm running.

And, of course, an instrument that returns random numbers is an extreme example. See:

https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/04/new-measurements-set...

for a current real-world example.

Now, you do have a valid point in that I made a tacit assumption when I claimed that statistics put a lower bound on the error rate. That assumption is that most experiments that are done test hypotheses that ultimately turn out to be false. I believe this assumption is actually true. This is one of the reasons making scientific discoveries is hard. But I didn't actually state this assumption, so I'll cop to that.

> At this point you're arguing against the sources I cited.

That's not true either. The first source says that the error rate is much higher than the p-value, which agrees with me. (I'm actually a little skeptical that the error rate is as high as your source says -- "At least 23% (and typically close to 50%" for p=0.05, but that's certainly not refuting my position!) I don't have time to go through your second citation right now.
It's the total delay that matters. 10 minutes each way is functionally equivalent to 20 minutes earth-to-mars delay plus 0 minutes mars-to-earth delay. Or vice versa. There's no way to cancel out a single leg, because from the point of view of the computers it's impossible to know how long each leg is.

Funny thing I am not sure what fungus it is. However, I have pulled small sheets of material that is almost like leather out from beneath the bark on firewood when splitting it. It's very white kinda soft too.

I wonder if this is the same thing, and then they just dye it.

-Edit-
It usually looks like this, but sometimes grows into like a sheet between the bark, and wood.

Most of the features you're talking about existed before FB in some way. FB doesn't hold a monopoly on introductions or communication and we did just fine before it.

Your argument that you couldn't swap numbers with your fiancé doesn't hold water with me. In a world without FB, it wouldn't occur to you that somebody you didn't swap numbers with would be your partner. Instead, you'd be marrying somebody you did swap numbers with and be none the wiser.

Thank you for this post. Good advice.
For starters, you can stop being judgey. You have described me as giving up and isolating myself. I haven't said any such thing.

For another, genuine empathy for a person's experiences is a good place to start.

My youngest son used to have the obnoxious habit of only ever saying "I love you" as a rebuttal when I was whining that "No one loves me!" until I finally handed him his head over what rotten behavior that was and told him if he really loved me, he could say it at times when it didn't amount to shooting me down gratuitously and kicking me while I was down.

The absolute worst time to tell people "Chin up, tally ho!" is when they are in a funk -- especially if that's the only interaction they have with you.

I understand where you are coming from precisely because I'm an excessively optmistic Pollyanna with a bad habit of doing exactly that. It's a habit I have tried hard to break because it basically never goes anywhere good.

I'm not in a good place today. I don't intend to continue this conversation. It doesn't really have anything to do with you.
The usual image is to picture light traveling through the universe as being like an ant crawling along an expanding balloon. The distance from where the ant is to the point that it started at is longer than the distance that it crawled. Because you have to add in how much the path expanded after the ant crawled past.

In 13.8 billion years, light crawled 13.8 billion light years. However the point where it started is now roughly 45.5 billion light years away. Making the diameter of the visible universe 93 billion years.

(In general relativity there are complications about what "now" means between distant points. But suffice it to say that there is a reasonable way that sensible people can agree on to make sense of it, and those are the answers that we arrive at.)

I think this was a theoretical observation.

What is more likely in the near future is to be able to initialise your Ruby gem at compile time, so when you start your application it is already required and you can start execution as if all your require statements had already run.

You say this as sort of a throwaway comment, but this is actually a huge deal, and is why I only use my debit card for withdrawing cash at ATMs that I trust or at least pray aren't sketchy, and use credit cards or cash for everything else.

Having some arbitrary amount of money missing from my checking account for any amount of time (which can be several weeks if your bank is annoying) due to debit card fraud or even just an error during a legitimate charge is absolutely unacceptable to me.

Oh something like no tax up to a certain level, 3 or 4 bands from then on, similar with inheritance tax, but a firm no dodging it policy for the very high value estates. Crack down on all the trusts etc. Toss it into a decent simulation and make regional adjustments depending on local income, and actively try to address some of the regional imbalances over time with national funding for things like schools.

It is btw. far easier to game a complex tax system than a simple one. Talk to your current President about that.

At a certain point, the technical debt on this kind of thing is so large the only thing to do is toss it out, and start again.

It's not a problem with identifiable specific victims and offenders. Oftentimes the offense is committed on a generational scale, where companies cease to exist before their victims even have a voice.

So here's the standard socialist's argument: Corporations tend to have very strong incentives to expand. Naturally, they'll eventually find some reason to expand overseas. And at that point, economic stability ends up being dependent on foreign policy decisions -- by governments that govern other people. And in order to maintain economic stability (and continued expansion) foreign policy will gradually but inevitably shift to a position of "protecting economic interests" through the application of the powers of making war.

And in a democratic capitalist society, this means that big decisions about whether war should be waged or what treaties should be agreed to is no longer the business of the common people, it is the business of whoever can force foreign nations to support this kind of "capitalist... imperialism" (for lack of a better term.)

The victims are the population of a democracy that has had its sovereignty erased by pinning the survival of their economy (and country) on the continued success of privately controlled industries.

>Identifying specific victims and offenders, on the other hand, is how one motivates change.

Is "tragedy of the commons" a familiar term? There are no specific offenders or victims here. Just a slow breakdown of society. Once you can identify specific agents, it is too late. The cow that eats the last blade of grass might get a nasty sentence, but everybody loses just the same.
This is like going to a chess club and suggesting they get rid of all the rules about chess, all of the history of the game, all of the books advising people how to play it, and that annoying ranking thing, and giving them the board and pieces. Then you tell them to make up their own game and sit back and watch the social connections form.

It generally doesn't work, because you can be present in the moment playing golf or sleeping in much more easily. if you try and make a chess club essentially without chess, why bother?

Summertime after 1600 at the airport where this plane landed - it's very common for there to be thunderstorms nearby from May to September. I've been in some very interesting weather patterns in the Denver CO area and from March to November there are afternoon thunderstorms many days in Tampa and Orlando. The kids were flying on vacation so Florida during Spring break was pretty common.

The only turbulence I've experienced over the Atlantic was more than twenty years ago - we hit completely unexpected turbulence and I actually caught a flight attendant as she flew by (all those years of gymnastics came in handy).
This was the first thought that crossed my mind.

If I have a choice between running our stack 50 times slower (and thereby 50 times the cost) or running anything Oracle, I know which choice is cheaper and doesn't come with an existential threat to my company.

It is not a counterpoint, just a way to show the limits of an overblown analogy.

An online web service that greatly automates and improve the renting process for both sides, the business and the user, for the end result of stop wasting everyone's time of searching from half thought filters and incomplete results (on the user side) and make businesses work for the user\client by providing potential candidates for their offerings.
I applied the idea of "stop wasting everyone's time" from a long and nauseant experience of researching for a living place in a big city.

Thought:
Nowadays many business models are kind of lame, they just wait for the end user to find their offerings and get in touch with them (often to even get further basic info about the offer that wasn't available on the offer page). But because the amount of information is growing really quickly nowadays(plus duplication of it in different places), you can't really expect a single human being with limited brain memory getting able (in a sane and stress-free way) to go through every single business of interest to find what you're searching for, especially when the data is updated/added day by day. Simple and stress-free platforms(mostly about research for goods or services) for the end user and engaging businesses on the other side at the service of the client will be in great demand in the near future, in my appealing.
I found some of those purists very annoying. The real world is often messy and organic, and trying to force excessive order on it just makes for confusion and/or silly extra busy-work.

Is that a generic claim? I'm making a specific, counterintuitive, and empirical claim about productivity and work-style of mathematicians, having been on both sides. Even for professional mathematicians, the solution to a problem can come all at once, while one is not even actively pursuing it, which begs the question of the purpose of beating your head against the wall when doing math. For just one example amongst many, see the story of Yitang Zhang, who made his breakthrough in establishing the first finite bound on gaps between prime numbers, while out at a barbeque and having largely given up on the problem after two years of effort.

I often tell people about this post by Dan Luu from 2014:
https://danluu.com/everything-is-broken/
It's about how, very, many, bugs there are in lots of software and how most of us developers have gotten used to unseeing them. Since reading it, I've always found it harder to unsee the bugs myself.

This post is a great writeup of another angle on the same phenomenon -- how even as we unsee the bugs we adapt our behavior to avoid them.

(Dan's post also has a proposed solution, but I've never found that one as convincing as the picture he paints of the problem.)

Nope. You find a good hash at a specific point in time, but that is nothing special, every event happens by its very definition at a specific point in time. Committing a database transaction, potentially including finical transaction records, occurs at a specific point in time.

But that is all without consequences, nobody will know about this event until you broadcast and they receive your block. And the message about the new block will arrive at different nodes at different times. End if you are really inclined to pull physics into this - which in my opinion hardly makes any sense - you have to face the fact that simultaneity is relative.

So you are really not tying the discovery of the new block to any specific point in time. Everything anybody can really say is that it happened before they received the block and after the block that is referenced by the previous block hash was mined which itself may have happened any time before they first received that block.

The previous block hash establishes a happened before relation between the events of creating the blocks in the chain and including a transaction in a block establishes a happened before relation between the creation of the transaction and the creation of the block. But nothing ties anything to any specific point in time. And proof of work plays no role here at all, you can simply calculate a single hash of a block and send it to me and that proofs that the block existed before I received that hash, no need to work hard to find a fancy hash with many leading zeros.
