>"If that were the case, we would have made a lot more discoveries by now."

In physics you still have quantitative predictions done in addition to checking the null hypothesis (which I why I said that was superfluous), if NHST adoption continues these will slowly be deprecated and replaced by only checking the null hypothesis. Seriously go read some old psychology before NHST destroyed it, they were developing quantitative theories of learning and everything [1,2]. Then go look at it now (statistically significant this and that with basically no progress for 60 years...).

Also, the significance level, constraints on p-hacking, etc are adjusted so that discoveries occur at the "right" rate. I'm not sure what triggered he move to 5 sigma in physics but it was probably something like "this seems too easy" so people started carefully double checking and getting conflicting results.

>security is defense in depth

You misunderstand what this means. This refers to the need to have multiple layers of security, such that if one fails, the others will continue to protect you. If you have two doors to your house, there is little point in putting more locks on the front door when everyone knows you leave your back door unlocked.

This. To me Microsoft has basically become the embodiment of mediocrity in tech. Just about everything they offer, maybe other than Office, is a worse version of a better product by someone else. And they can still rake in profits because most huge corporations are hopelessly dependent on their ecosystem.

In the 90s they were unstoppable and their products unrivaled; but that was a long time ago. I don't care about antitrust 20 years ago, I care about not using terrible products that feel constantly 10 years behind the curve.

As you noted, it's a complicated relationship [1], consequently the only place we'd be likely to see a reliable result is in aggregate.

Correlation is not causation, but congressional campaigns in 2012 that outspent their opponent won 91% of the time [2].

One of the clearer links is to voter turnout. I've read it takes between $5-20 to reliably motivate a voter to vote. Sans this minimum level of funding, your supporters don't go to the polls, and you don't win.

As for the 2016 election you note, general consensus is that the difference in funding was largely erased by media time (itself one of the primary reasons to spend money in the first place!), where Trump's approach held a clear (and cheap) advantage [3].

More broadly speaking, post-Citizens, we're in an era where we actually don't know how much "money with intent of political influence" is being spent. It's legally debatable enough that a group can now say, "This is my personal or commercial speech, so I'm not registering with the FEC."

I thought this was a decent article, with decent advice if you're in a situation where you have to make estimates under conditions of uncertainty.

An example I've tried to use to explain software deadlines is the college term paper vs the mathematical proof. I can commit to writing a college term paper by a set date. I may do a good job or a bad job, but I know I can produce 20 pages on a topic with citations and references. It's really just a matter of will and follow through.

Many people experience deadlines this way, which is why they get a bit outraged when software developers fail to hit deadlines or warn properly that they won't. They don't understand that software can be more like a mathematical proof. You can tackle it, try things, but you only might crack it. You might be no closer than when you started. You might be moments away from cracking it and not knowing it.

My career advice to people is to seek out situations where software development deadlines have more in common with term papers than mathematical proof. These jobs do exist, though they are elusive. It's just another desirable aspect of a job, like better pay, nicer working conditions, telecommuting. There are jobs that define the goals of a software project more vaguely, to the point where you can deliver something great, or something merely ok, but there's really no chance you can't deliver something at all.

Some jobs go extinct because they are just so unpleasant that the people with the talent to work them simply find other options for employment. I personally find the stress or working under strict deadlines with very little certainty unpleasant enough that I'll accept lower pay or other tradeoffs to avoid them.

You're talking about poverty in terms of absolute wealth. Yes, fewer people live in extreme poverty now. Most people on Earth have access to phones, washing machines, healthcare and transport. This is undoubtedly great.

In terms of relative wealth though, comparing the average to people at the top, the 1%'s wealth has grown much faster than everyone else. It's true to say that we are all relatively less well off than we were in 2000. This is bad because wealth begets more wealth, so the inequality grows. That could lead to all sorts of problems (societal breakdown, revolution, civil war at the extremes...).
The skyrocketing sticker price of healthcare absolutely has led directly to skyrocketing insurance premiums and out of pocket costs are still high for many people depending on their insurance plans.

The vast majority of the 'generous' college financial aid is loans with partially subsidized interest rates. Default rates on these loans are high and keep rising.
> Someone else becoming richer does not require me to become poorer.

Oh but it does.

Systemic inequality engenders winner-take-all dynamics. We see this very clearly in the data: as capital becomes more concentrated the rich grab more and more of the surplus. Eventually all growth will be captured by a few large enterprises.

Now, even if you don't go all in on Piketty and you give fuck-all about the poor, it should be clear there's an issue here. We don't live in a static world. Someone else becoming richer doesn't make you poorer... until new players join the game. The rich capture all the economic surplus but it's the poor keep having all the babies. So now you've got no choice but to commence with the somewhat unpleasant business of liquidating the poor. Get them hooked on opiods, send them off to wars, drive up the cost of housing and schooling -- do whatever it takes to drive down birth rates and increase mortality. There's no money for these new mouths to feed because it's literally all going to the rich.

And long term this becomes problematic. Again, even if you give fuck all about economic justice, history has proven such systems to be woefully unstable. Humans aren't like rabbits -- they just don't and lie down in a hole and starve to death quietly. Unlike natural systems that tend to course correct smoothly human systems tend to just collapse.

There may be other reasons that energy efficiency will continue to improve, but Moore's law, (More specifically in relation to performance per watt: Dennard Scaling), has long been at an end. Given her position it's fairly ignorant to sight this as a reason for a continued lower proportion of energy consumption growth by now.

It means that there is a widening wealth and income gap, and that affects people's day to day lives. It's a more risky winner take all situation, where if you're not in the right place at the right time, you risk getting left behind, and that does affect people's psyche.

People in rural areas where housing costs are not increasing might be experiencing a little wage growth, but there are fewer and fewer future work opportunities.

People in urban areas where housing costs are increasing rapidly, but wages are not increasing rapidly enough to make them feel secure...but they need to stay there in case they're laid off or need to find another employer.

Either situation isn't what's wanted, but the overall statistic is that real wage growth is positive.

this figure puts it at only $3,500 http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/07/01/having_a_bab...

Women with insurance pay out of pocket an average of $3,400, according to a survey by Childbirth Connection, one of the groups behind the maternity costs report. Two decades ago, women typically paid nothing other than a small fee if they opted for a private hospital room or television.

But one must take into account the risk of complications; if something were to go really wrong, would you rather be in the US hospital or the UK one? I suspect the NHS is more affordable, but does not handle complications and individual patient cases as well as the US system.

Yes, DigiCert does (maybe others too, haven't checked). Facebook was famously the first to have such a certificate. Currently needs to be an EV certificate though.

I don't mind paying a man to sit at the head of the train even if they're autonomous. I also don't believe making all the lines CBTC are going to solve the core issues of breakdowns outside of an ancient signaling system.

Some of the lines in NYC are still using R32 cars[1]. They were built in 1965 that is ludicrous. Granted, they were refurbished in the late 80s but that's still 30 years ago.

That said most of the lines are running "newer" stock (either from the late 80s[2] or mid-2000s[3]) but the focus on signaling, while at the core of many delays, is a band-aid on a system that is fundamentally broken by way of funding EVERYTHING appropriately. While I do appreciate the wifi in stations I completely don't care about it if the train doesn't arrive. While I do appreciate the "wait time" clocks they're meaningless when they say "5 minutes" for 15 minutes then switch to DELAY. You might as well not have a sign at all.

There are fundamental bureaucratic issues going on causing many of these problems and technology is not a root solution. It's a patch. You won't be able to argue with me that one of the busiest transport system in one of the richest cities on the planet cannot manage to fund serious upgrades.

Also wary of politicians blaming the unions like they're the cause of everything. This is an ongoing tactic that makes sure that nothing continues to happen. They aren't the problem directly even if there's a lot of dead weight. They're, again, a symptom of higher level management problems.
