This particular idea seems bad from a security standpoint. But we do need to make some major changes to level the playing field so that people who have small children, move often, work odd hours- in other words, everyone except for propertied old people- are able to vote.

I can see a few ways to make this happen:

1) make voting day a national holiday

2) automate voter registration when you file a tax return and make same-day registration the law nationwide

3) automatically mail everyone an absentee ballot
The goal is not to do the right thing, it is to get maximally ignorant, easily manipulated voters under your control. Or kabuki voting, in which the choices are the same, but voters get to feel like they matter.
>>Result is the same, VAT is not a cost for enteprises.

It's not a cost when transacting with other companies but it's obviously a cost when selling to end customers. If people are willing to buy a car for 20 000 Euro you will be forced to sell for 16 666 Euro + 20% VAT, you can't magically sell for 20 000 + 20% VAT because "consumers pay VAT". If materials + labor cost of a car is 10 000 Euro you make 6 666 Euro per car if there is 20% VAT and 10 000 Euro per car if there is no VAT.

You can early vote one weekend here in Texas, and that doesn't seem to radically increase turnout. This year i believe turnout was lower on Saturday/Sunday than during the week.
But isn't the lying necessary to be a placebo?

And what is the cure worth? How do you measure that?
Democracy=when the voting results are in line with my vote. Populism=when they are not.
I'm not sure if we can actually localise particular EEG's that precisely. In any case, that just punts on the problem - subject reports they did or did not which we use to make an assessment. We still rely on subjectivity.

Like, I really don't see any way of avoiding this in psychology and neuroscience (and indeed even if possible, it might not be a good idea).
Several of the games that I’ve purchased through the Mac App Store are from big developer houses and weigh in at well over a gigabyte.
If by respect you mean tolerance, I agree. But I cannot respect, for example, those that believe (as per Leviticus) practicing homosexuals should be put to death.
Why do you hate them?
I wouldn't use these questions but they're usually coming from interviewers who are trying to have a sense of you as a person/get you out of your shell. (Except the "Where do you see yourself in 10 years" question. That's used to figure out if you want to be management. I have never given a fully honest answer to this question my whole career, and the right answer usually can be found in the job ad.)

Talk about something that you can sound excited/relatable talking about. Friends, family, volunteer work, that all works.
I love this. It's not even a joke really.

> Finally, TabNine will work correctly if you deny it network access (say, by blacklisting update.tabnine.com).

Just to clarify - would it still work if I deny network acess for the TabNine binary, _after_ validating my license key? Or is the key validation invoked on every launch (hence requiring network access)?
As someone who is about to claim Estonian citizenship I am horrified that a nation that borders Russia with a relatively significant ethnic Russian community even has online voting.
I like how bold Estonia is on some things but I feel like this has to be scaled back.

Given the population, all it takes is some heavy Russian language propaganda combined with some low key attacks to tip the result in the way you want.
It's not exactly proof by exhaustion, as model checkers don't actually check all assignments, even explicit-state model checkers (because even in finite state cases, verified propositions are about infinite behaviors; you often model-check propositions much more elaborate than "X never happens in any state"), and algorithms like DPLL for SAT model-checking don't even do explicit state visits. Rather, it is a proof in the model theory of the logic.
Shower thought: what if html/http/browsers supported, as a primitive, the concept of "fetch this asset from url A, or if that doesn't work, B, or if that doesn't work, C ..."?
At one point there was nothing where every single city now stands. Everywhere it started with a blank slate.

The difference is the speed of development and, even more importantly, the level of planning.

US cities grew quickly and were planned.

Some modern cities that grew very quickly recently are nevertheless messy because they grew without any sort of planning.

Some cities are quite old but nevertheless follow a grid because that's the way they were planned. E.g. Beijing.

Planning is the key.
I'm almost not able to parse it at all.

An article or even a blog post usually aims to prove a point, and it is structured to introduce the issue, make the author's point and give some conclusions.

In this case the effort is all on part of the reader, to piece togheter what is the actual point being made, it's really not a "cosmetic thing".
I found it very hard to read - especially as they seem to have made scrolling slower. On the flip side, I am thankful every paragraph links to the original tweet.
So while I don't dispute your link (because it's correct), the placebo effect is normally defined as the effect over and above that seen in the no-treatment group (who don't get a placebo or treatment). Regression to the mean would impact both placebo and no treatment (as well as treatment) groups equally, so cannot be the explanation for the entirity of the placebo effect.

We are probably arguing semantics but the alternative to pre-determination is not free will as much as it is probabilistic.

Yes this _will_ happen verse this will _most likely_ happen.

Free will is the ability to influence the probability that a certain outcome is realized. Your decisions could be predictable as a function of probability.

Your definition of 'me' (your prior state) includes the quantum states of your constitute parts. Just because there is a degree of uncertainty in those states does not mean they are not of 'you'.

The degree of pre-determination is just a matter of scale (akin to classical vs quantum). The deeper you go the less pre-determined something can be.

I meant buying them as company cars. I hoped it's obvious. It's the reason there are so many nice things bought by companies and why they organize expensive symposiums and meetings in nice locations - there is a rebate on that.

My intuition would be that a significant component of the effect is that the patient believes they have been treated. Until we see evidence otherwise, I see no reason to assume that the placebo effect is not weakened by the loss of that component.

Because OO is more than method call syntax, so you wouldn’t be doing those things the same way that you would in an OO language, since Rust is not OO.
A good question which could also be asked of 30% of HN articles
Higher participation means voting is more likely to represent the population. As it is, vote results only reflect the opinions of those who considered that the benefit they gain from voting exceeds the costs, which is a biased sample and negatively affects democratic principles. Costs need to be made as negligible as possible in order to be inclusive.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! I am in awe. Thank God. I can barely contain my enthusiasm.

I literally wrote a "SUPERLOOKUP" formula in VBA that would apply SORT and UNIQUE but making the range dynamic would require an XLL which is a beast I never had time to tame as a hobbyist... this is a dream come true. My eyes are literally watery. Wow.
It depends on what your saying it's going to be similar to. The problem we have is this is all subjective from the outset. eg what do you define as feminine and masculine? Is a toy digger masculine and a tea set feminine? What about a toy kitchen? And to what degree would you say that playing with something makes a child more subjectively more feminine or masculine? Playing with a digger 1 hour a week or 30 hours a week?

...and that's just measuring toys. Trying to measure behaviours is going to be an order of magnitude more complex.

So there's no real way to do this scientifically - at least not with the tools I'm familiar with. Observationally I've definitely seen the gender biases aren't as clear cut as some people describe. But that's just anecdotal and subject to pockets of localised anomalies. Plus I have seen behavioural differences between the genders with the way young kids have played with the same toys (eg a toy cars) even though there's been no definitive difference with the toys they chose to play.

It does help you appreciate why even the experts don't have a consensus on how much of a child's personality is learned and how much is biological...and that's without addressing the issue of how much of those biological effects are down to a persons sex (eg a person might be wired to be more caring but that might not be because they're female) - which is the question we're specifically asking.
> is it okay for doctors to lie about placebo treatments if it actually helps?

Let's sharpen the question: What if the lie is the treatment?

It sounds to me like the 40% who the placebo helps for have a different, mainly mental, problem than the 60% for whom it doesn't.
Two specific errors that are very well-known:

* Filesystem semantics. What POSIX actually says and what most people think it says in this regard is very different. And both groups acknowledge that the semantics are not very useful for things like high-performance distributed filesystems in HPC.

* Signals. Everything about signals is pretty annoying. You can't install per-thread signal handlers, which means you can't do things like "catch" segmentation faults. And signals aren't files, but you can only poll for file things to occur, so you have to reexpose signals as files via signalfd...
