There have been several news items on Hacker News recently about academic publishing, reproducibility in general and pre-print servers and I would love it if eLife got some more attention, for better or worse, for the excellent work they are doing and helping to fund.

To those biology researchers in the comments, please submit your work! even failed results! Even if it's software heavy. Editors are listening closely to your feedback.

Almost Nobody Is Using Amazon's Alexa to Actually Buy Stuff
Hmmm... why? What is so different between trading 100 shares vs 1,000 shares vs 100,000 shares? Trading is automated enough that a linear cost is not justified.
> However since credit cards are not your money,

How would this translate to debit card transactions? That is my money. I'll tell the bank exactly what do with my money including give it all back to me, right now, so I can put it somewhere else. I have been on the fence about doing this anyways in favor of a credit union, but laziness always wins. This would be the absolute last straw for me if my bank shared anything with any social platform.

Yes, by all means take small steps. Those would still be progress! We might learn something about the right and wrong ways to deregulate spectrum. Up until now we've just been assuming that it can't be done, despite the WiFi's clear example of it being done well.

Let me just hand my credit card to the car salesman and tell him "buy me a car." I mean, the only thing advertisers want more than your attention is the ability to make your purchases for you.

People shouldn't buy things through Alexa because they shouldn't trust the people who made it. They made it to make a profit, and it'll do that or die trying. It's not there to make your life easier.
Hoarding tech is a problem. It's hard to get rid of tech that works but it's outdated. It has no values except as a curiosity. There were over 12 million C64's made and that was decades ago. I bet there are still millions in peoples home. When was the last time you turned any of it on?

Best thing to do is to get the data erased and give it away if possible. If not, take it to an electronics recycler. Do it all in one shot, otherwise, you will feel regret and stop. Old tech will not help you in any way. It just gets in your way.

Ya, tbh this is a really bad look and I thought the same thing. If you're building a product, Don't Do This.
Can't trust mules neither.
an upvote for you. the so-called 'soft sciences' are even softer when it comes to the rigour in their publications, which is a shame because it tarnishes their whole field. The gaming of academic prestige by publishing publishing publishing is exacerbating this, but so are the new predatory publishers who will accept and publish anything. Lots of interesting churn in academic publishing at the moment.
I really like my Echos, but yeah, I have never bought anything over it. It's the first thing I turned off and I've never missed it.
Because the journals in question are not open access / open data where data submission is required. To answer your next question, yes, that entirely goes against the whole point of science, which is that it's supposed to be reproducible.
The person above wrote that there exists in a subset of engineers that have 20 years of experience, a group of engineers that are not better than engineers in a subset that have 2 years of experience

It was offering perspective, not a blanket statement about the entire set

That isn't ageism.
The only time I ordered something with Alexa is when Amazon offered a $10 credit to do so.

It's a terrible interface for one, but the biggest hurdle is that I really don't trust Amazon's pricing. Between add-on items, pantry, and third-party merchants, I always feel that I have to double check if I'm getting ripped off.

I think a lot of this would be alleviated by better integration with the mobile app so I could go "Alexa, order AA batteries" and it would add to an order in progress, so that I could then verify the items later on and complete.
What kind of phase shift are you talking about? Humans cannot hear the phase of a single oscillation. Beats produced by two tones with shifted frequency are audible because the resulting amplitude is a function of time. But this is unrelated to timing and rhythm of music.
Large waterborne vessels is a good application of hydrogen fuel cells, IMHO. Already large LNG-powered vessels are becoming common, from LNG tankers themselves to LNG-fueled cargo ships and even cruiseliners. Liquefied hydrogen would require similar refrigeration and insulation technology.

In fact, here are two LNG-fueled dredging vessels: https://www.vanoord.com/news/2018-van-oord-adds-two-new-lng-...

Natural gas can be made by combining electrically-produced hydrogen and CO2 (which CAN be pulled from the atmosphere). But I do think LH2 is more likely to be the main energy source if we go to synthesized fuels.

I'm used to biomed where the "supplements" do exist and are containing more and more of the actual information while the "paper" is becoming more of an "executive summary". Since I find all that info in the same place, I consider it part of "the paper".
Hmm - how about "slingbox for games" -- Can I have an account on your beefy rig at your house to play a game?

(Not you specifically - I am saying "Can you choose to just share a beefy rig with your friends as well..."
True.

I wish I could find some reliable content where they stopped to explain or such. Granted I'm not sure people would buy it much as it would slow things down.

Ok here is how you ... there's the code... is of limited value, if any.

I should note that I've been trying out Frontend Masters content and so far been pleased.
There are plenty of LEDs available with a 2700K color temperature. It helps to buy ones with 90+ CRI, although few (even the good ones) actually advertise their CRI on the label. Last time I bought bulbs, Home Depot was selling 80 and 90 CRI bulbs under the same freaking model number; it's like the WRT54G all over again.

Granted, it's not a true black body spectrum because the infrared part is missing, but that's why they use less energy.
Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but "inserting a king" is absolutely an act of deregulation in this context. Because earlier there would be only one supplier of electricity (the government) but now anyone would be able to sell electricity for a price that they see fit.

Now, socialists claim that since the government is not profit driven, it would keep the prices low. On the other hand, capitalists say that even if the supplier seeks profit, there would be competition which would lead to innovation, better service, and lower prices. Of course, pretty much none of our systems are fully on one side or the other which complicates things. For example, telcos did not build the entire internet infrastructure out of their pocket, they received significant amount of government funding.
Probably the easiest starting point to find papers and researchers in this area is the Research page at justgetflux.com:

https://justgetflux.com/research.html

Also, just because you personally aren't aware a body of research exists doesn't mean that there isn't a sizable and increasing body of it. "It didn't randomly cross my radar..." isn't a deeply compelling foundation for doubt, especially when a few moments of web searching could have opened the door.
Of course it wasn't but the damage has been done.

Even in Pie, "Adaptive Brightness" is terrible. The display often abruptly drops in brightness for seemingly no reason. I think I could do better with a photocell and an opamp.
You are correct. If you force check for an update, then it lets you update to Android Pie. I assume that the gradual rollout will send notifications to phones that it's available.
"Discussion system", you say? What about alt.bin.* stuff?
I don’t have a bone to pick in this back and forth, however there’s something I don’t fully understand from dang’s comment: what does “low-rent rant” mean? Never heard the expression before and I don’t know if it’s a pun to the subject of the article or something else entirely referencing the tone of the OP’s comment.

> Here you go. It's linked from that page you posted.

Uhm, yes, I have eyes, thank you. I think you can assume HNers are generally not obtuse enough to link to a nearly-blank page saying "Statement by FCC" and miss 3 glaringly obvious links referring to the actual statement. I was, indeed, referring to that statement. The very fact that their news release seemed to be missing "hack" or anything equivalent to it is exactly what I was referring to.

The difference between "attacked" vs. "hacked" isn't "pedantry" any more than the difference between "arrested" and "convicted" is pedantry. Being "hacked" means your system's security was breached, not that you were merely "attacked". Most of the press cares about being responsible with their choice of words, and you really should too. Nobody would say Google or HN or any other site was "hacked" the moment it was DDoS'd. Being hacked requires a security breach, and nowhere that I can see did the FCC claim there was such a thing. So unless they said this elsewhere, this is a recklessly irresponsible choice of words.
I have a GORUCK GR1 and a Tom Bihn Synapse 25. Both are excellent. Both are guaranteed for life and I fully expect them to outlast me. Especially the GR1, that thing is the laptop backpack for the Apocalypse.
Just put a big battery on a boat. If it gets good utilization and can charge inexpensively, it should pay for itself in fuel savings.
Almost separately from the circadian-rhythm concerns from the article, a major design peeve of mine are random products that have unnecessarily blinding blue LEDs. Worst example I know of: an otherwise competently executed automatic HDMI switch with several incredibly bright blue LEDs, always on. So bright as to be able to read and see all objects in the same room. So when you might dim the lights to watch something? The switch is still blinding blue, usually right at the viewers!

I mitigated this by disassembling the switch and installing some 3-stop ND (neutral density) lighting gel to dim these stupid LEDs to acceptable levels. This product at least afforded a good-looking solution -- many can't be disassembled to fix the problem.

I don't see whats confused you about my post.

If no one cares whether the authors got it all wrong and "Transcriptional amplification in tumor cells with elevated c-Myc under conditions xyz" should actually be "Transcriptional amplification in tumor cells with depressed c-Myc under conditions xyz", then why was this funded?

Why make a habit of buying things in this method when you're always unsure of the price, and you're often unsure of the authenticity?

The only use case that makes sense is I can see it being used for is reorders of brand-name consumables you've already vetted. But even when you trust you're getting a product actually made by Tide (or whomever), its unclear you're getting the exact match as a previous purchase - the brand may have decided to repackage it into something 6 ounces less than before. This happens a lot. Prices also tend to fluctuate quite a bit, enough that occasionally you'll get a price way outside normal range and would benefit from looking at other brands.

Lots of room for error, and voice as a channel is too narrow to deliver an efficient experience that corrects for these issues. These are fixable by Amazon, but judging by what little policing there is on the authenticity of items, I doubt it'll happen anytime soon.

There aren't any great options at the moment. You can't easily avoid stories about, for example, Meghan Markle or the Kardashians.

My suggestion is to get an app that lets you filter out certain topics, and then pull in news from a variety of outlets.
So the thing is Bitcoin isn't bullshit. The technology and the papers are solid -- it's the application and the resulting hypetrain and what it spawned that you're railing against (from what I can tell, please let me know if I'm wrong).

Bitcoin does not have 0 use cases, it has ~1 that's extremely rare in practice, so much so that it's usually not worth using bitcoin. But it does have a usecase. Something something spherical cows.
Neuromorphic Computing Breaks New Ground in Brain Simulation – TOP500
I have an Alexa in every room of my house. But ordering things is too cumbersome by audio only. And even reordering is a no go. I need to see what I paid last time and compare a bit. I've found that a lot of items I might want to reorder can go way up in price.

I think the vin diagram of Alexa owners and those with lots more money than time, that don't care about a good deal has little overlap.

Requiring reproducibility would radically change the academic landscape for scientists. I'm sure in the end it would be for the greater good but I think most career researchers in the US would hate this kind of change.
You'll be fine. We run a number of AKS clusters and they have all been rock solid. I think the problem is people hear "managed cluster" and so they don't think they need to understand how k8s works. Follow best practices (resource limits, etc.) and you'll be just fine. We've even tested out the upgrade flow on a live production cluster and it was butter smooth.
Thanks for the resource link. Does the data set include domestic-only Chinese investors?
If a 60 watt bulb lasts 1000 hours at $0.10/kWh, that's $6 even if the bulb was free. So quadrupling the price has negligible effect on its total cost ($6.25 vs $7.00).
Thanks for the the detailed answer, I appreciate you taking the time to write that all out. I will certainly hit you up via twitter if I have some more questions.

The DSL you've mentioned sounds really convenient -- I've been wanting to write something like this for general use recently but can't pick which hill to die on with regards to language and how many/which specs to support.

Washington, DC is starting to switch to LEDs for streetlights. They're whiter than the old sodium bulbs, but the District uses 3000K lights for main streets and 2700K for residential streets. The LEDs are directed towards the ground at a 45° angle--the globe diffuses the light, but they produce much less light pollution and they'll save a ton of power, time, and money.

The people designing this are too wealthy to emphasize. People want to know what those Oreos will cost before buying. If they took panes to address the price anxiety there's no reason people won't start ordering from it.

People were worried about freshness with produce delivery. Amazon tackled it head on by literally calling the service "Fresh". They're going to have to so something drastic here too.

> So papers have become a good business, no the way to disseminate outstanding research results.

That's awfully cynical and over-broad, but I agree to a point. Greedy and unscrupulous publishers are part of the problem, but so are lax or unprincipled scientists eager for prestige and a career-making publication in a top tier journal. It's an unfortunate chicken-and-egg cycle now with no easy way to cut it. Perhaps more emphasis on replication post-publication? Perhaps a reputation system for unethical publishers or scientists?
Even if this is the case for the US constitution written centuries ago, why can't the principle (today) expand beyond government to all centralized systems... without being dismissed because it doesn't fit into the constitutional grounds? Does the fundamental idea still not have grounds?

FYI, just because effect A is statistically distinguishable from zero and effect B is not statistically distinguishable from zero, that does not imply effect A is statistically distinguishable from effect B.

It could still be the case that female doctors are better overall, even if it was only distinguishable from zero in a single branch.

no, stops would have real roll on roll offs - you see them in actual train yards, it's hard to find a good picture.

here's the general idea from a video game https://i.imgur.com/7gNHkNP.jpg

ideally multiple cars could pull out of the main track for loading and unloading(in which case you might have to wait a bit for the car in front).
There's a startup named codeocean (I'm not affiliated) trying to fix this (though as you've mentioned, the main issue here is broken incentives).
I'd take it even one step further and say people shouldn't even have an Alexa (or Google Home, et. al.) in their home at all. There are so many downsides, and after you get past the "cool new technology" factor there are relatively little upsides.

It would be better, more worthwhile, and a hell of a lot more interesting to research and figure out how to create your own "voice assistant" type of device that's hosted locally and doesn't transmit everything that's said in your home back to some company's servers. [and don't give me any of that 'they're not listening to everything' crap -- that's bullshit. if things can be abused they will be]
> Fifty years ago he would have been the kooky guy living at the end of your street and no one would know who he is.

Are you suggesting guys like him weren't famous, wealthy, and had popular speaking tours across the country? If so, you're sadly mistaken about the reach of even wrong ideas.

Quackery and supernatural stuff was extremely popular among the middle class America in the 1800s and well into the 1970s. The internet has given individuals a wider platform, but it hasn't changed the amount of individuals (ie, audience size) willing to consume this stuff...

We can't ban our way out of this problem. The risks/costs of doing so (false positives of anyone pushing what is considered 'fringe' at the moment) is far too high to go down this path. And if anything it increases the audience of these people who become martyrs and victims of the very 'conspiracies' they are pushing. It's far better to ignore them or fight them than to ban them.
Come on, no one else sees this as a double standard?
They added it a while back but I think it was default disabled. If you go to settings in the Alexa app->notifications->shopping notifications, the toggle is in there.
Can’t be too surprised, audio just doesn’t feel like a very good interface for browsing even a few different items for quality and price. Especially considering that just about everyone who has an Alexa also has a phone or computer that offers a much better and already learned and setup interface to do the same thing.

LEDs just got more and more efficient. Even driving them with tiny currents produces bright light nowadays. I suspect once the efficiency increases stop, manufacturers will adapt and their engineers settle on limiting resistor values that are actually appropriate.
