The EPA already weights the value of studies in a public way.

In terms of new research are you saying that it’s ok to keep the raw data a secret? Why? We don’t do that for any other type of science.
Thanks for the details. This service is very interesting. Are these cards funded on a prepaid basis (micro-deposits?), or are the ACH withdrawals performed after the fact?
This doesn't go far enough. Fraud is a major crime with very low accountability.
The trend in Scotch is strongly towards no-age-statement (NAS) expressions. If they could reproduce aging in an Oloroso butt using pressure treatment, Diageo would already be doing it. Scotch tends to be aged for at least 10 years; the economics are such that even if they could just mix in pressure-aged distillate to cut down the aggregate ratio of aging years/liters, they'd be doing that, and still relating an "average age" over 10 years (which is roughly what they claim for NAS single-malt now). But they do not. They don't even do it for blends, where the distillates aren't even ostensibly traceable.

Is it possible that some technological approach will allow for radically accelerated aging of Scotch? I sure hope so!

Is your subtext --- that all Scotch is basically the same product regardless of how it's aged simply because someone has managed to extract phenylated esters from chunks of wood --- valid? No, it obviously is not.
Nope, they are saying "disclose information in ways that do not violate privacy, ask us how if you don't know how to do it, we're already doing it. But if you don't bother, only then we won't consider your study".
I believe they were referring to number of receivers of the broadcast for scale. Distance from the tower being the limitation.
Speculation. Might go closer to zero as well.
Interesting how a schema design errror has led to this real life problem (failure to have a "source vendor") field in the inventory table.
I agree that correlation does not equal causation, but I wonder if that, reframed, is actually a reason why therapy can be harmful. Therapy tends to treat negative thoughts as things caused by events and/or other thoughts, and this itself may be a pernicious way of mistaking correlation for causation. I think a fair amount has been written about how harmful therapy is when applied to people with serious mental illnesses, because it encourages people to dwell on negative thoughts and come up with spurious and unhelpful reasoning about causality. But if it doesn't work in the most severe circumstances, why should we remain committed to the belief that it works in less severe ones?
Here's one example from the European Commission: http://ipts.jrc.ec.europa.eu/publications/pub.cfm?id=2359

the tl;dr is that 2% of overall environmental impact in the EU27 could reduced by switching to a Mediterranean style diet (reduced red meat but not 100% non-meat diet).

And PNAS have another study which used data covering 66% of the global population: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/11/28/1711889114
The process to produce the casks could be accelerated in the same pressure-aging process on wood pieces, which can then be used in place of the casks. And as the surface area of wood pieces is far larger than that of a barrel, and since pressure causes full penetration of the wood, it requires far less wood volume to produce the same chemical interactions and leaching. It may therefore be economical to buy the used casks and cut them up for use in the pressure-aging process.

Anything to get away from being reliant on aged wooden barrels to produce aged whiskey at a huge markup simply due to the time required for the archaic process. That's what is silly.
To return something you first have to receive it.
Amazon search, reviews, product ratings have been completely gamed by third party sellers.

U.S. indictments show technical evidence for Russian hacking accusations
There are (at least) two different kinds of first-person singular: “me and you” and “me and some other people but not you.”

English, unfortunately, does not distinguish between these cases. “Ours” can mean “mine and yours” or it can mean “mine and that of some other people.”

The author clearly means the latter, and you’re getting offended over your own misunderstand.
> at least doesn't appear to cause worse outcomes than doing nothing

I wouldn’t be so sure https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/09/cdc-homeopathic-heal...
No, that is purely the chance that they correctly identified the event as being signal, it doesn't take into account known sources.

Given that the background is basically isotropic, I doubt adding in a source catalogue will move the probability much.
I dare say this is a horrible comparison. There are no circumstances under which employees are expected, or even required, to have sex at work (presumably at least not at a mainstream tech startup). There are, however, many situations where employees would be expected/required to eat company-sponsored meals.
If you want to reproduce the analysis, you sure as heck do need original data.

I probably sound like a broken record, but this is standard across scientific disciplines. No raw data and people call bullshit.
Tame Jupyter notebooks from data scientists for production systems
Hotels require credit cards because without them you get far too many problem guests (drug dealers, partiers, pimps, hookers). Based on my experiences, I wouldn't want to stay in a hotel that didn't require credit cards.
The worst thing is that even if you report the products as counterfeit, Amazon won’t take them down or refund the purchases.
Target order online and pickup in store is not bad. The pickup experience is a little slow, but one thing I've noticed is the online prices are cheaper than in-store (in california at least).
The problem is that Fulfilled by Amazon items have co-mingled inventory, so items bought from amzn_bob_1985 may actually be coming from stickers_on_alibaba_crap99's comingled inventory. If you do receive fake goods, there's no guarantee that it's actually the fault of the specific seller you purchased from.
Jupyter Notebooks allow data scientists to quickly iterate as we explore data sets, try different models, visualize trends, and perform many other task. But how can they be integrated with production workflows? Tim Kopp, a data scientist from Pivotal, shows how.

The big news here for me is the well-below-forecast growth of ecommerce.

I'd first noted this for years ago[1]. In an earlier, 2010 TechCrunch piece,[2] Forrester Research predicted a $250 billion e-commerce market, 8% of all retail, by 2014. We're just barely reaching 10% in 2018.

U.S. census estimated 5.3% in 2013.[3]

The hype's not measuring up. E-commerce has growwth resistance.

How is it that somebody here will always manage to blame the victim, no matter how obviously absurd that is?

Amazon was originally the seller for everything they offered. In an important sense, they still are: we still shop on their site, still give them money, and still mostly receive the goods from them.

Amazon could have chosen differently, but didn't, because they were looking to dominate e-commerce. they set it up like this, and could undo it in a moment if they wanted. If you're looking to blame somebody, blame the person with the most power over the situation, not the person with the least.
>DoD is extremely ineffective organization, there are estimates that it wastes $125 Billion annually from its budget. [1]

20% innefficiency for a very large government org (which for decades has been successfully dodging audit)? I'd say that would be a pinnacle of efficiency :)
I would even say config needs comments more than code does. Code can be self-documenting: by using good variable and function names, splitting or combining lines of code, or re-ordering blocks of code you can often make the intent of the code clearer without adding explicit comments. If you do something unexpected in a config file, it likely just shows as setting some name to a magic number or a magic string.
The difference between a JD "guarantee" and an Amazon "guarantee" is that the JD one actually means something.

When you guarantee something and then fail to deliver on that promise, people begin to lose trust in you. Have it happen enough, this often only needs to be once by the way, and they likely will never fully trust you again.
Based on your post history, I can't tell if you're a troll or actually believe what you're saying, but 30 seconds on google would alleviate you of your ignorance.

This has ALREADY HAPPENED. Russia has enticed people they secretly indicted on spy charges back to Russia, and then stuck them in prison.

> but now even the analogue car radios are digital devices that scan multiple frequencies to hop to the next frequency aired by a given station so you don't experience much cutout

Wait, is this really a common thing? How would I know if a car radio does this, because I'm 99% sure my car doesn't.
Why would there be zero studies that study lead and have source data? What happened to those that studied lead - did they destroy their data for some reason? Are the data about lead somehow unique so that, unlike any other data, they can't be published? Did some weird catastrophe occur which erased all data regarding to lead studies, and nobody knows about it? What would be the reason that basic scientific norms would not be preserved in this case? I guess if it happened, we'd need to conduct new studies - and find people who screwed up the old ones and make sure they are not responsible for any new studies ever again, to avoid future screwups.

>I wonder why wouldn't they just slap polish domain on it.

Customer service? They probably don't have any call center that speaks Polish. They won't slap a .country domain if they can't deliver something up to their standards and not just allow people to buy and then have to speak in English if there's any issue with the product or delivery.

When amazon really commits to a country they put a decent amount of effort into it. In France for example you can quickly get someone over the phone to deal with your issues and they speak French.
A friend of ours gave us a painting of Cú Chulain for our wedding. That painting was her specialty that went through many prototypes. She put prints of it on Amazon and within a few weeks hand made copies were being sold from far eastern sellers. She spent two year battling to get those sales taken down. In the end it only stopped because the sellers moved onto other pictures and not because Amazon took any action.
Didn't read the article yet, but this is the premise behind that book and a lot of the writings on his blog. I highly recommend this book as well as Deep Work if you're a knowledge worker.

> I love what I do, and I work every day.

I think the upshot of the quote is supposed to be something like this:

Figure out the set of interests which pique your curiosity. Know the difference between that set and the set of interests that society irrationally deems respectable through peer-pressure, propaganda, and other FUD. Pick something from the first set (possibly intersecting the 2nd set) and you are unlikely to feel like every day is filled with a sense of dread and drudgery.

But here-- as in the original quote-- there is a hidden premise that the audience already has interests in the first set. I think there's also a premise that the audience also has the tools to investigate a particular topic and grow in knowledge, skills, and self-awareness.

That last part is key. If nobody in an audience has the will or ability to investigate the world around them, it doesn't matter what platitude you feed them.
You have an odd definition of "trivial". Some sort of per-vendor coding could work, but it is not trivial by any means.
Sure, we've all heard the kernels of information that lend creedence to the possibility. They just don't accumulate to anything close to a credible case. When you load up your rhetoric with words like "murder", "historical" and "corrupt", you clearly demonstrate that you have no interest in building consensus through anything but fear. Why is it that you can't put forth the details of an event without providing the conclusion you demand your audience comes away with?
I like how the recent changes section has bug fixes from 1998.
Amazon mixes their own inventory with the third-party sellers. Even if says "Sold and shipped by Amazon" on the checkout page they will ship whatever item they find most convenient. It could be sourced by them or added to their warehouse without any verification by a random seller. There is no indication during the checkout whose item you get (likely they don't even know it themselves at that stage).
Manafort's actions in Ukraine paint him as a Russian asset in my mind (http://time.com/5003623/paul-manafort-mueller-indictment-ukr...). You're correct that this doesn't prove he was acting on behalf of Russia when he offered to work on Trump's campaign for free though. That is speculation on my part, but seems fairly likely.
Feel like this is just gonna cause so many bike shredding arguments internally it's not really worth it.
I remember Obama 2008 doing an effective job using social media to get out the vote and raise donations. Technology is a great amplifier, but policy is what attracts the initial support in the first place. Hard for Bernie supporters to get excited over Hillary.

I'm sure any right-leaning organization trying to do what the article talks about will be labeled as "Russian".

There's all kinds of exceptions and things in there, plus a copyright board that makes decisions.

Notable is 29.22 Reproduction for private purposes is allowed if

29.22 (1) (a) the individual legally obtained the copy of the work or other subject-matter from which the reproduction is made, other than by borrowing it or renting it, and owns or is authorized to use the medium or device on which it is reproduced;

So it seems that both the DVD and player must be legally owned by the person watching the movie. That means they must have the right to come in and walk away with the DVD and player at any time, just as if they had them in a data center. Seems reasonable. Just buy them back when they're done.

Note that Zediva didn't do this. Their DVDs and DVD players weren't actually owned by the customers, just rented, nor were customers allowed into the data center to repossess them. The US also didn't have the same private reproduction provision as in the Canadian Copyright Act does.
speculation: Maybe it's simpler to just bake a string into the binary and hardcode the pointer to at every use than futz around with strings in asm?

But if you're already doing the rest of it in asm why would that scare you?
As for Conjectures: I tried one of them (http://norvig.com/beal.html) but didn't have any luck (see the part just before the Conclusion). Like Peter says, better spend your brainpower on a proof than your computerpower on finding counterexamples.

It didn't need a subject domain expert- just computer engineers who understood the problem and how to test counterexamples efficiently.
Consciousness, Psychedelics and Future of Humanity
I like all the Ardbegs, particularly An Oa which is creamy, the 10 year which is refreshing (if any Islay can be called refreshing), and Uigeadail which is more caramel sweet than the others. These are all big peaty whisky.

Corryvreckan ... is more so. Tasting notes: refinery, bed fire, shipwreck. The distiller must have been out for a pint or five with the other distillers on the island ragging him about "too much, over the top" and decided to show them what "over the top" really was. Worth a try and good in its own way, but not for everyday.
Yeah, for events like the World Cup "scale" means sending the same broadcast to millions of receivers. That's already an unusual requirement, though. Major sporting events constitute the biggest use case, and perhaps even those will require something different in future if the next trend is something more interactive: VR or user controlled camera angles.
I think what's also interesting is that now that Microsoft is awake with Nadella at the helm and presenting a viable alternative, will Amazon's cloud business start losing marketshare.

If I were say, Procter and Gamble/Clorox (Consumer Staples), Macy's (Consumer Discretionary), Visa/Fedex (E-Commerce), Aetna (Healthcare) if I were going to look at options for cloud, would I host my enterprise on Amazon who is actively trying compete with me and provide the end customer with alternatives to my product/services? Or would I go with a vertical pure play cloud services provider like Microsoft.
Like the OpenBSD developers, a posture much needed these days.
It's very hard to believe it is not possible to publish medical data in an anonymized fashion that does not infringe privacy rights. If that's true, how people validate any medical research at all? Do they just ignore the validation, and if some research has an error - well, tough luck, we'd base policy on it anyway and if it turns out to be a disaster, we'd just shrug? Giving up on reproducibility and validation means giving up on one of the most important features of modern science, I have very hard time believing that's the only way to do modern medical research known to our civilization.

> Otherwise, the rules would find a middle ground;

They actually did, if you read the actual proposal, which talks about disclosure in ways that enough for validation but does not infringe privacy. But you seem to have arrived to pre-determined conclusion already, and there in fact can be no middle ground that would be acceptable to you, as it seems.
I think when you're buying an expensive item, you should do your research first on the internet, find the best item for you and then order it.

Wow, this is awesome! I didn't even know I needed this until I peered into my dusty bookmarks folder, and realized I never actually got back to the articles I promised myself I'd finish.

It's also a very pretty site/extension (I'd say it's a Stripe tier landing page!). However, the list of bookmarks is a little low contrast. Perhaps it looks better on a hidpi macbook or something (macos does fonts differently I think) but on my 1080p PC, it's barely readable.

Also, on Firefox, I get a nag bar at the top that tells me "Store links from anywhere on the web with Mailist for Chrome." Clicking the X button does nothing.

Great work though! I will be using this.
Do they have a scale/redundancy option for write scaling beyond shard + mirror set? I think my bigger issue with mongo, is you really need 6+ servers for a production deployment in many scenarios. It's great for getting a single developer instance up and running. But if I'm sticking to one instance or a couple mirrors for production, I may just reach for ms-sql or postgresql.

Aside: I'm sad that RethinkDB didn't get more of a foothold.
Most of your comments on this thread have been illogical.

Companies are not required to dole out free food. Them changing their policies to only reimburse certain kinds of food can be met with you leaving the company if it matters that much to you.

You can bring your own food or pay for it out of your own pocket if you need to. They have stated people with medical/religious requirements that need meat will have their needs met.
