2) use lower p values. Don't waste thousands or millions (more) dollars following up 5% results.
> US gov did embrace suburban sprawl.

Yeah but they didn't directly design cities the way a top-down developer would do. They are some planned communities in US. I live next to one, and it is a different feel to it definitely. But it is not a common thing at all.

At the federal level there are tax incentives and credits and subsidies and those affect everything but it is still very much a local "maximize my profit" kind of deal. Uncle Sam doesn't care if there are enough play grounds or parks for given area and population density.

I think that you are trying to say that the incentives (say cheap mortgages) and subsidies for oil and car manufacturers resulted in suburban sprawl? But that's more of a nasty side-effect than a direct policy or law. In other words we got the bad part of top-down influence without the good part of it.

But property taxes already face this challenge: the assessing authority has to specify a value – which may then be disputed by the property-owner in a costly appeals process.

This proposal lets the actor with the keenest interest and best knowledge of the property set a value, and lets the 'challenge' occur in the marketplace, by someone who's willing to buy it at that price. It lets the "brokers" and other experts of the world set the assessed value, by their actions (or potential actions), at a higher resolution than the current processes (which wait for actual sales or later bureaucratically-settled re-assessments).

Every time we talk about EVs someone tries to make this point.

Yes you can call them zero emission because they themselves produce zero emissions. This means in the city which is where the most people and the biggest problem with smog is, there are zero emissions.

One further reason that the HN crowd should understand is that it decouples energy generation from it's usage. So once you have clean energy generation you can turn off the coal and no one driving EVs will notice.

Well, then how should we do database access ? Because without that part sorted out the rest of the framework is unusable.

Incidentally, my personal opinion is that is the reason why we don't have massive adoption of asyncio despite lots of frameworks (like apistar).

Nodejs for example has every database driver as asynchronous. It is probably worth the effort to make a asyncio compatible dB layer.
If you find the best way to describe the situation in 2 words then I have no problem if you say "age discrimination". But you shouldn't use it as excuse to not get what you want.

E.g. you want to still code with 50? Then spend your 30s building a network, then go into consulting. (giving up some safety in return)

E.g. you also don't want to bother with career? Join a big, strong company in your 20s and never switch jobs. (giving up some money in return)

E.g. you rather want the flexibility and safety that comes from switching companies sometimes? Move up the ladder. (reducing the amount of time spent coding on the way up)

There is always something that can be done, and even planned for.

Doubling the labor force has certainly been great for keeping wages down.

The problem, as I see it, is that the "consensus" view is taken to be true. As has been pointed out elsewhere, the "97% of scientists" who believe that climate change is anthropogenic comes from a study of papers. From what I understand, the 97% is 97% of the 1/3 of papers on climate change that made any reference to climate change being anthropogenic. The other 2/3's made no reference to climate change being anthropogenic or not.

It should be irrelevant what the consensus view may be. If an alternative model or theory is proposed, then the model or theory should stand on its merits not on whether or not it agrees with the consensus view.

My view is that science is about gaining some understanding of the universe about us. If a model or theory is useful in that understanding then good, it is useful. But if a theory or model develops big holes in it then mayhaps we should be looking for alternatives that have lessor holes.

Take the example of study of standard model of sub-atomic physics. Within it, there are some quite large holes that are papered over with theoretical mathematics. Yet, if one steps back and takes another look at what is being seen there are some interesting observations to be made that raise questions about the validity of the standard model.
> Many polls don't have a freely-available link to the details, though you can sometines spend lots of money to buy that access.

I have never understood the business model behind releasing key figures from your poll (generally the crux of it) but gating the rest of it (including polling methods) behind a pricey paywall. Is it to deter the casual lookie-loo while gaining the attention of companies in the industries impacted by the poll results?
As a typofile I'd say we could prefix links with a symbol and then indicate them with color on hover :) What I'd police would be free-form links; links are good when it's a name or some other term ([Hermann Zapf], [Monotype]) not just [random words] that [happen] to be [a link to something]. Also, colored text is good when colors are sparse. Think of black with red accents.
That last bit is what pisses me off the most. Some companies make it a point that they only hire people with open source projects, yet when interview time comes they don't bother to talk about these projects.

You literally have a data point with way more than the typical 4~8 hours a throwaway homework would take, and don't use it as an a) talking point, b) nice way to sidestep wasting more time?

It is a general problem (that is, not only Redux has it, but basically any React-based thing), and the pattern that works best for reusability (in my esperience) is the "pure component sandwich": you have a pure component which takes a bunch of functions as parameters (and is reusable, no framework-specific stuff) and wrap it in the app-specific component which implements these functions for the current app.

While intended as light humor, this actually seems like a really damning argument to me. It's conceptually similar to overfitting a machine learning model by aggressively tuning hyperparameters without proper cross-validation, etc. What serious defenses are there after this sort of attack?
My therapy involves periods of getting in touch with my body, e.g. tension in my forehead or tightness in my chest, and then as I focus and try to be present with the sensations, words tend to pop into my mind that often yield insights into suppressed feelings and ideas. There's a book that nicely presents the therapy technique named body centered psychotherapy by Ron Kurtz.

I wonder if focusing on ones heartbeat employs the same underlying mechanisms that help self-insights happen.
I'm going to assume that Lets Encrypt wasn't impacted for the reason that there are several discussions that the hijacked myetherwallet website apparently had a self signed SSL cert running - and people were actually clicking through the warnings before handing over passwords.

You argument is not in favor of the poor. Given the way taxation works, free healthcare and education provide opportunities for lower incomes that aren't available for private services. When education is free (popular phrasing for government paid), a poor person with no income can get a free education and usually financial support and actually get a degree. If healthcare is free, the burden of the individual is carried by the society. As for 'standard libertarian arguments', you might as well say 'myopic perspective'.

If that was true then WPF and WinForms would have been part of .NET Core.

If that was true then Microsoft wouldn't be pushing DirectX 12.
So "some typing" would be:

# git stash:
prev_ref="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"
git checkout -b wip-stash
git add .
git commit -m 'wip stuff'
git checkout "$prev_ref"

# git stash pop:
git checkout wip-stash -- .
git checkout -D wip-stash

It's quite a considerable saving. I suppose by "fix UX" you mean make it so the saving would be less anyway, but I think really they're just conceptually different:

- branch: pointer to a line of history, i.e. a commit and inherently its ancestors
- stash: a single commit-like dump of patches

If stashing disappeared from git tomorrow, I think I'd use orphan commits rather than branches to replace it.

>they only test null hypothesis that are true.

If a null hypothesis is invariably true, it's impossible to reject it. Which means the scientists will not be able to find any statistic or data to support any of their bad, original hypotheses. Not 5%, not 0.005%, nor whatever.

p-values are not flawed. They are a useful tool for a certain category of jobs: namely to check how likely your sample is, given a certain hypothesis.

The argument in the original post is a bit of a straw man fallacy.

"I want to know the probability that the null is true given that an observed effect is significant. We can call this probability "p(null | significant effect)"

OK, hypothesis testing can't answer this type of questions.

Then "However, what NHST actually tells me is the probability that I will get a significant effect if the null is true. We can call this probability "p(significant effect | null)"."

Not quite correct. It's "p(still NOT a significant effect whatever it means | null)".

EDIT. Fixed the last sentence.

Let's think about costs.

Suppose all experiments have a p-value of 0.05. Suppose scientists generate 400 true hypotheses and 400 false hypotheses. One experiment on each hypothesis validates 380 true hypotheses and 20 false ones, for a cost of 800 experiments. If we do one layer of replication on each validated hypothesis, then, among the validated hypotheses, the 380 true will become 361 doubly-validated true hypotheses and 19 once-validated-once-falsified (let's abbreviate "1:1") true hypotheses; the 20 false will become one 2:0 false hypothesis and 19 1:1 hypotheses; all this increases the cost by 50%. Then it seems clear that doing a third test on the 38 1:1 hypotheses would be decently justified, and those will become 18.05 2:1 true hypotheses, 0.95 1:2 true hypotheses, 0.95 2:1 false hypotheses, and 18.05 1:2 false hypotheses. If we then accept the 2:0 and 2:1 hypotheses, we get 379.05 true and 0.95 false hypotheses at the cost of 1238 experiments, vs the original of 380 true and 20 false at the cost of 800 experiments; the cost increase is 54%.

On the other hand, suppose scientists generate 400 true and 4000 false hypotheses. The first experiments yield 380 1:0 true and 200 1:0 false hypotheses, at the cost of 4400 experiments. The validation round yields 361 2:0 true, 19 1:1 true, 10 2:0 false, and 190 1:1 false, costing 580 extra experiments; re-running the 1:1s, we get 18.05 2:1 true, 0.95 1:2 true, 9.5 2:1 false, and 180.5 1:2 false, costing 209 extra experiments. Taking the 2:0 and 2:1s, we get 379.05 true and 19.5 false hypotheses for 5189 experiments, instead of 380 true and 200 false hypotheses costing 4400 experiments; the cost increase is 18%.

So it's clear that, in a field where lots of false hypotheses are floating around, the cost of extra validation is proportionately not very much, and also you kill more false hypotheses (on average) with every experiment.

What is the "cost" of believing false hypotheses? It depends on what one does with one's belief. Hmm.

It would be nice if someone made a stab at estimating the overall costs and benefits and making a knock-down argument for more validation.

China is really different from Japan/Korea when regarding at gender. Women were called to hold up the half the sky in China since the very beginning.

Carefully pick your clarifying questions. People always suggest to ask clarifying questions and I think it's often seen as a negative thing in real life (which is sad). Instead, repeat the problem out loud and write scenarios on the whiteboard right away. Show that you've already started working on the problem. If you ask too many questions up front you'll have to come up with a perfect solution to redeem yourself.

Work your solution through various examples, cases, exceptions, etc. It will show that you understand the complexity of a problem by mentioning all the complex cases out loud. It's like saying "here is how you're trying to trap me with this problem, I can finger point the trap". Now it's all about translating that into a working function on the whiteboard. If you don't get the working function, at least they know you're smart.
"Maybe journals could issue "credits" for publishing replications of existing experiments, and require a researcher to "spend" a certain number of credits to publish an original paper?"

This would cripple small labs, unless people's startup packages come with potentially millions of dollars in funding to get their first few "credits".
Reducer, middleware, and "action creator" factories that take config will allow for a pretty high level of reusability. We have several internal redux libraries of generic reducers, middleware, etc. and they all export factories that return these things instead of naked reducers, middleware, etc.

The factories can take config for which action types to handle, etc.

> virtuous self-flagellation like using reusable drinking straws

The worst thing is the push to ban plastic shopping bags, which (at least in my social circles) get reused as bin liners. Hurrah, now we have to stuff around with canvas bags (which need to be reused dozens or hundreds of times to actually be more efficient than plastic bags) AND we have to buy purpose-made bin liners (which are usually heavier duty and so use more resources and generate more waste than the original plastic bags). Net result: Just as many bags, heavier duty ones, plus canvas bags, plus inconvenience. Stupid virtue signalling.
