I'm honestly more tired of essays about p-values than p-values.

It's true that like all metrics if it becomes a target then it maybe abused (Goodharts Law).

However if you abolished p-values people would start hacking or misunderstanding priors or confidence limits or OR.

It's an easy dumb stat that most anyone can do in excel and most everyone recognises. The emphasis should be that it remains a quick shorthand for casual use but that more complex studies have more sophisticated models and probabilistic reasoning.

But the emphasis on the p-values is bizarre. As best illustrated by JT Leek the pipeline of data research has multiple points of failure that may lead to false findings or irreproducible research. But we talk very little about them whilst essays about p-values come out every week...

My impression of the current seed and pre-seed enviorment is traction trumps everything. Revenue being the favourite sign of traction. A lifestyle business usually tries to establish revenue very early on. Another aspect worth mentioning, though perhaps a minority opinion - the Internet economy has grown enough to make what traditionally would be a simple niche'y product into 9 figure phenomena. The point being, VCs aren't complete fools putting money into these at an early stage.

VC funding is a form of social proof. Also in case of a total failure, as in 0 traction, perhaps even no product - it establishes "realness" of sorts.
I have no problem with storing things like modal state, currently selected items, etc. in Redux, but I’m having trouble imagining a scenario where you would need to generate a random ID to associate a piece of state with an arbitrary component. Generally the Redux state tree would store the piece of UI state inside the “model” it is associated with.

As a super simple example, if you had a list of continents, and each continent could be expanded (to list every country inside of it) or collapsed, your Redux state might look like:

{
'continents': [
'Asia': {
'collapsed': false,
'countries': [
'Mongolia',
'Japan',
// ...
],
},
'North American': {
'collapsed': true,
'countries': [
'Canada',
'Mexico',
// ...
],
},
],
}

The 'collapsed' key is purely UI state for your collapsible component (i.e. you probably wouldn't sync it to a server), but it is keyed naturally in the Redux state along with the normal Redux data it's related to.

In what case would you need to generate a random ID per component simply to "remember" where the data for each component is located in Redux?

> 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.

Why argue when you can simulate:

> n <- 50
> simulations <- 10000
> sd <- 1
> se <- sd/sqrt(n)
> crit <- 1.96 * se
> mean(abs(colMeans(sapply(rep(n, simulations), rnorm))) > crit)
[1] 0.0494

Lo and behold, we reject the null hypothesis that the mean of a normal distribution is equal to zero in 5% of all simulations, even though the null hypothesis is in fact true. (`rnorm` defaults to 0 mean and 1 sd)

>Why is there not a US company recognized as the leader in buses?

Culture, policy and structure.

Culture: The US considers public transport to be "for the poor". How many investors and founders in SV take the bus to work? Buses are seen as an outdated mode of transportation. Why create a company for a technology that you expect to be replaced by hyperloop/flying cars/
jetpacks.

Policy: Chinas political leadership made a decision that they want electric buses in their cities and that they want them to be built in China. Then, they created the environment that would enable this using directives or subsidies or whatever.

Structure: China is the manufacturing hub of the world. They have good engineers and they know how to make stuff. They have a deep, cheap, local supply chain. Things that the US may not have as much.

I agree in the abstract that the story is pretty predictable, but some of the details are a bit unexpected and worth learning, and you don't really know that this kind of security stuff is real until you see it for yourself.

Specific things that I thought were interesting:

- Trash on the street is legally considered abandoned and fair game for anyone to take.

- Zuckerberg's house managed to get its entrance blurred out on Street View.

The problem is that "99% the time gives a correct result" is imprecise.

It can be understood as both:

- p(sick|positive) = 0.99
- p(positive|sick) = 0.99

We get totally different results, the first one is obvious (99% change of being sick), and the second one needs Bayes' Theorem (and is the one we want to use).
It seems to me that a number of things are not clear at all.

1) p-values is a metric on a whole library of procedures, not a single check (although one of them, the Normal distribution is the one usually meant). There's 5 basic ones everyone should know, and you could fill a decent bookshelf with details on all of them.

This means a true p-value should be accompanied by

a) what the source data was

b) how it's distributed, and why (better yet, proof). This should include assurances that there are no attempts to game the measurement (or otherwise any change in the source data directly related to this measurement), as that of course invalidates it.

c) a sanity check (like a normality test, or redoing the procedure on generated data and verifying the expected result)

d) what the exact claim is (e.g. this is normally distributed with a mean > X)

e) what the procedure was to verify this claim (e.g. normality test + mean > X ... you need to COMBINE your p values, because if the data isn't normal your P test is invalid and of course your hypothesis should be rejected even if the numbers in the t-test say it shouldn't)

f) a HUGE disclaimer that this measurement and it's actual numerical result only apply to past values, and if it's used to change something it is no longer valid, even if it's numerical value changes as a result, and you can still calculate it.

2) it's not a given that it's possible at all. The truth is that there are many things that don't follow the central limit theorem and therefore cannot correctly be used for statistical approximation.

Essentially you need to be utterly convinced that every measurement is the result of somehow combinding a large number of effects that keep reappearing.

For instance, planetary orbits do NOT satisfy this criterion. Sure they're the result of large numbers of influences, but almost none of those influences ever repeat (e.g. comets passing in close orbits is a big modifier of orbits, and in 4-5 billion years that'll happen once with any given asteroid. Almost every perturbation is unique and doesn't repeat, so it can't be predicted and won't follow statistical laws. That is the sort of effect that no form of statistics will ever find, and that invalidates your results. Because these are rare it works in the short term, but it doesn't work in the long term. E.g. if you repeat the experiment to determine the speed of light with Jupiter's moons, that won't work with the original data because their orbits have shifted too much)

Can't you use pure components as long as you make sure that all your callbacks are called with new objects, e.g. using the JavaScript spread notation?

I think the bigger reason that a global state management system becomes necessary is when the shape of your component tree doesn't closely match the shape of your state tree, because that means state (and callbacks) need to be passed down through components that don't care at all about that state simply because one of their distant descendant components does care about it.

When it's launching this feature in India.
A lot of people in here are talking about securing their DNS setups but not their BGP setups.

For any BGP operators out there, you could automate your inbound/outbound BGP prefix filters using IRR/LIR databases, peeringdb.com, RADB etc. Tools like https://github.com/snar/bgpq3 can help with auto-generation. Even manual prefix lists will do, anything is better than nothing!

It would be good if operators could also use AS-SETs so that other operators can see what downstream ASNs should be seen via their peers (and which ones should not).

Also BGP RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) based ROA (Route Origin Authorisations) can also help to ensure that prefixes are announced by their true originator.

Most networks follow the Pareto rule - 20% of prefixes learnt via BGP (in some cases even less!) are the source/destination for 80% of their traffic flows. Some operators use an approach of writing explicit filters for those 20% of prefixes explicitly blocking them from all their BGP peers except the origin peer sessions.

None of these techniques are fool proof and we all need to play along to improve their impact. They cost nothing, only man hours, and we can all benefit. In metaphor - no encryption is unbreakable but we can try and make it unappealingly difficult.

The arrival time of PD is going to be minutes to tens of minutes in those cities depending on the severity gleaned by dispatch, and only from the time of _notification_ not the start of an incident.

I don't think it's unreasonable for someone of his wealth and fame to have 24/7 guards. Their primary duty would be to lessen that time of notification and dispatch of PD, and casually act as a deterrent.
Okay, cool. But the energy still has to be produced somehow. Are we shifting the diesel to coal power plants? So for every km driven, what is the comparative amount of CO2 produced? Is there a net benefit in this regard? Coal power plants might be more efficient, but then we are shifting the smoke stacks.

Then what about the batteries? The batteries need to be produced, and they have a useful lifespan, then need to be disposed of or recycled. How do we deal with all of that contamination?

Are we further ahead with electric cars and buses?

I went to the Volvo museum last year and learned that pneumatic tires consume something like 30% of the energy expended by road vehicles, should we not be focusing on better rail transport? Or solid tire technology?
The same is true in many other cases. For example, employment law - nobody forces people to work for me, yet there are many restrictions on what I can write in the contract.

Defending a laissez-faire model of society, only with restrictions on externalities, is reasonable, but it's also very far from how societies currently operate. The GDPR is not an exception. In fact, not even on websites - the Data Protection Directive, from 1995, already implemented restrictions on how EU sites can be run. The GDPR is only an expansion on that.

> WPF and WinForms would have been part of .NET Core

I’d love them to be, but unfortunately there’re technical reasons for that. Both depend on too many Windows components. WinForms is really a thin wrapper around Win32 windows and GDI+. WPF relies heavily on DirectX 9.

For mobile platforms, Microsoft offers Xamarin for GUI.

> Microsoft wouldn't be pushing DirectX 12.

Again, there’re technical reasons. For the same reasons Apple is pushing Metal, and Khronos is pushing Vulkan, all 3 are conceptually quite similar.

Crypto Billionaire Sued by Sequoia After Funding Deal Goes Awry
But this is all being directly facilitated by YouTube. YouTube is removing videos from even having the opportunity to be monetized. This i before the advertisers would even be involved.

The example that is often cited, is that YouTube's official policy is that they won't even consider videos that talk about gun violence for monetization -- except if you are on the secret whitelist.

It is not the advertisers that are clumsily analyzing caption data and descriptions for potentially offensive words. YouTube is very much the party to blame for this. YouTube is suspiciously enthusiastic about this. And there is a very clear pattern of using demonitization as a tool of soft censorship to drive less convenient content creators from their platform.

I think that the platform that YouTube presents itself as, versus what it actually is, is misleading and exploitive. And that itself is bad.
This was the one thing that really surprised me when I first visited the US in the 90s. We'd stop at a store or restaurant somewhere and the nearest neighbouring stores on either side would be 200m away, with their own huge parking lot and no pedestrian route between them. We were driving from Chicago to LA and so when we'd stop I'd want to stretch my legs, but the barriers in the way made a walk like that rally difficult. I couldn't understand why anyone would design a place like that. It was engineered around cars, not people.
Replication is extremely important but not the solution to the problems Luck is discussing: How do you decide whether some experiment is worth a replication attempt? How do you decide whether a replication was successful? The standard (but not the only) answer is: through p-values. This shows that stats and replication are largely orthogonal issues. So what /is/ the solution to the problems with p-values? Bayesian statistics, which gives you the probability of an hypothesis given the data and some clearly defined set of assumptions, exactly what you typically want.

A midwife delivered my kid in the bedroom for two orders of magnitude less money.

Not to mention, thousands of years of doing it without even a midwife was somehow good enough to keep the species alive long enough for hospitals to be invented so people could think having a baby requires one.

EDIT: Sorry to distract you with that last bit. A midwife, you're paying for a license and a sterile pair of scissors. It works fine. The idea that you need a huge medical apparatus and to pay $10 grand for it, to do something humans evolved to do, is pretty FUDdish.
