Studies like this should immediately make one remember something about psychology. The replication crisis has devastated any credibility in psychology. And social psychology, as this study is part of, is the worst hit. The replication rate for social psychology studies is currently hovering around 25% [1]. And unlike psychology studies, that result can and has been replicated. What that means is that if you see any social psychology study - you would be much more accurately informed if you assumed that what it 'discovered' was false.

So back to this study. Let's imagine some alternative hypothesis. People tend to overestimate the representativeness of their own personal experience. People extrapolate their own personal experience, which in turn is going to be driven by their own behaviors/views/etc, to much wider segments of the population than they actually apply to. If somebody engages in substantial drinking, they're going to overestimate the normality of that behavior. And similar for those that engage in minimal drinking. And all of this is even more true when you're talking about young college aged kids.

This hypothesis also fully explains otherwise inexplicable 'discoveries' of this study. For instance the study found no connection between the drinking habits of the dorms people lived in and their own independent usage. That contradicts their hypothesis but it was, of course, simply hand-waved away. But the real problem with this hypothesis is that it doesn't lead to new research, doesn't sound exciting, and likely would be difficult to publish. Publication generally entails novelty, and I'm certain this effect has been extensively studied and reported upon elsewhere. So instead we get clickbait under the guise of science.

Jesus' death as a suicide... Interesting idea.

By that measure, anyone considered a martyr could also be considered to have committed suicide.

Jesus presumably knew the outcome of his time on earth ahead of time. He was well aware of the approximate time he'd be killed. Evidence from the Bible clearly shows Jesus had superhuman powers and so it's likely he could have at least escaped his executioners.

And yet he chose the path that lead to death. Is that suicide?

For that matter, did Jesus have a choice? God commanded Abraham to kill his own son. Did Abraham's son have any choice in the matter? If not, why do we assume Jesus had free agency?

The telephone network was designed with total trust for “network operators” who essentially have “root” to do anything.

This worked OK when the only operators were the various national phone monopolies (Cap’n Crunch notwithstanding), but today that level of access is much easier to get and abuse, and is difficult to trace.

There are efforts to bolt-on security to the telephone network but it’s really hard.

I think it’s more likely that (over the next handful of decades) the phone network fades into obscurity as more voice calls are connected over data links which offer much improved security models.
I identify strongly as a Jew, but I'm not very religious. I've visited Israel three times and enjoyed every visit. Jerusalem is an amazing city. I just had trouble finding holiness at the Western Wall. I think, for myself, I either need more quiet and solitude, or conversely, to be involved in group prayer. But I don't pray much and I'm not very practiced at it. I'm also an atheist, so prayer for me is a bit hard to explain.

Anyway, for me, the wall itself didn't evoke anything. I think there was just too much commotion with everyone doing mostly their own thing. I did enjoy watching everyone else experiencing the place, though.

If nothing else, there's a few thousand years of history there to see.
I really like Reaper, it's cheap, has a long (unlimited) free trial, and runs on Windows and Mac.

Just to clarify, the German electricity grid doesn’t stop functioning when renewable production drops because Germany imports power from neighboring countries to make up the demand and massively overbuilt its renewable sector compared to what would be required if renewables weren’t variable.

Its also important to point out that a large fraction of renewables used by Germany are biofuels that are significantly more reliable than wind and solar but are not what people here think of when they talk about renewable energy.

In reality, Germany is so “successful” investing in renewable energy because it is a rich country willing to spend significant amounts surrounded by neighboring states willing to provide electricity. In reality, renewable energy is still significantly more expensive at he moment and adding storage into the mix just increases the cost.
Something I've observed: Americans interpret the freedom to do anything as permission to do it to destructive excess.

At this point, I'm willing to accept that Apple has an honest intent (to the extent that any corporate entity has any meaningful intent to do anything) to provide reasonable security on its new devices and related cloud systems. This is at least in part because they are reasonably transparent about how far their existing measures go and they don't seem to have a track record of exaggerating claims in this area.

Clearly they could still go significantly further, as the lack of end-to-end encryption for things like iCloud backups of photos demonstrates.

Another black mark against them for now is their persistence in walling off their ecosystem so much that iCloud (or maybe iTunes running on additional Apple equipment) is the only reasonably usable and future-proof method of transferring data between devices. It really should be possible to import and export common types of data like calendars, photos, contacts and notes in standard formats using standard protocols, and it's clearly a deliberate policy not to support this.

Even so, the world of iOS now appears to be in an entirely different class to the Android ecosystem in terms of privacy and data protection. At least with Apple devices, you can (if you're willing to spend an hour or so toggling settings) basically turn off all of the data sharing and remote services if you just want a modern phone with standard communications tools like web and email available. And at least Apple doesn't have an obvious commercial interest in undermining its own devices' privacy safeguards.
Calling Quantified Self! (https://quantifiedself.com/)

Damn, that's astonishing. I hope it ends up on youtube: I still watch grainy recordings of HBO from ~1980 for laughs, would love to see what "real" TV with commercials and programming was like over 40+ years.
I'm following this method: https://nihongoshark.com/learn-kanji/

I'm not learning the readings yet since a lot of them have multiple readings, some less common than others. My thought process was to learn the kanji, then the readings as I learn daily vocabulary through Genki 1 / TaeKim's grammar guide.

I don't know if this is actually the best way to start learning Japanese but I thought it would be fun just as a personal goal to learn the 2,200 kanji before anything. Studying Korean takes up the lion's share of my time so I haven't started studying Japanese grammar much yet.

---

I just follow the default progression of anki. 1 day -> 2 days -> etc. If it takes me zero effort to remember, I grade it as Easy. If it takes me more than 3-4 seconds to remember it, I grade it as Hard. If it takes more than 10-15 seconds I reset the card and start learning it again.

So far the only resets have been on similar looking characters and some newly-learned ones from the day before if I was a bit distracted.

You can see my progress from April 2nd until now:

https://i.imgur.com/yyHvgf9.png

Some are much easier than others, I marked kanji like 林 (grove) as Easy pretty quickly, as well as commonly used ones like 見.

So the way to look like I'm enjoying myself is to fake drinking? At first I thought you might be suggesting that I look depressed or whatnot, but now I'm not certain. I will say that no, I don't think I look down.

One way to scale up / down workers in Buildbot is to have more workers defined in the configuration than actually needed with generic names (e.g. worker1, worker2, etc) and then start / stop them when required.

Agree with you on the waterfall UI regression. It seems console view is preferred than waterfall in the recent versions. It's slower than waterfall UI though.
The problem with blockchain is that a significant percentage of people who are bullish on blockchain are only bullish because they think it will negate the need for governance.

They fail to see that many systems they want to replace with blockchain only exist because of the need for governance. The governance came first, then we designed a system around the rules we needed.
This isn't the right question to ask, as it presumes that efficacy would be a justification. Totalitarianism is never okay, regardless of its effect on crime.
Ouch, that's painful. 90Hz is arguably too low already, and 80Hz is definitely so. Especially with Valve's offering coming in at "120Hz with an experimental 144Hz mode"... Yeah, that's a hard pass on the Rift S for me.

Years ago, when this sort of thing started to become common, I decided I couldn't afford the risk involved in having important electronics subjected to this sort of search. By "risk", I don't really mean disclosure of data (although that, too), but the risk of having the device seized or damaged.

My solution was to stop carrying these devices when I travel. I ship them ahead to my destination through a parcel service, and carry a burner phone (for emergencies) during my actual trip.

I'm not a fan of any of the sports-focused replacement watches that seem to compete against the Pebbles. The Fossil Sport seems to lack a eInk Display and the vendor only promises 24 hour battery time.

The TicWatch seems to manage 40 Hours, something which my recently Pebble Time with a half dead battery achieved.

The main reason I'm severely disappointed in the market is the lack of long battery lifetime devices. And those that do run for a week on a single charge usually lack in other parts of the product.

And after all that, it's all so expensive. A Pebble Time costs around 60€ to 80€ used on Ebay, and that is after they went out of production. Most competitors don't go that low!
I have a System76 Linux laptop with a 1070 and it works fine for deep learning. I used to SSH into cloud services but decided having a GPU always available locally was worth a little money.
All the tooling is linux, some of it has mac ports but not nearly always and things don't always work.

Another major factor is CUDA - all the frameworks use CUDA and Nvidia cards, which MacOS doesn't support. OpenCL is way slower and undersupported. AMD has been working on ROCm but it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere fast enough. Everyone uses CUDA.
Sure, but "feigning belief" is not "belief". I mean, any deity worth believing in would know whether you believed or not. So they'd also know if you really believed, and then renounced. It's like manslaughter vs premeditated murder.

I did an exchange program (from the US) to Germany, and I did notice parents having a moderating effect on drinking, but then there was an overnight party at the end of the schoolyear, which meant kids weren't going home to their parents.

Drinking wise, it was basically identical to most parties I saw in college in the US, except the kids were 16-17 instead of 18-19.
That use case for YouTube alone makes it a national treasure. There's nothing quite like finding a TV commercial I haven't seen in 35 years, taped off of the exact same TV station in Seattle I first saw it on. I'm suddenly transported back to a time and place in a way that virtual reality currently can't touch.
You can't ask parents in the US to be responsible for their kids. Parents' lawsuits led playgrounds to be engineered as sterile, boring, and lawsuit-free. We're also puritanical, as the biggest argument parents give against same sex marriage is having to explain it to their kids. And we're stupid, as the general view is that trusting young people or giving them responsibility would lead to them hurting themselves more. Parents even get in terrible for letting their kids just walk around. (The irony being that we let them drive at 16 and join the military at 18)
Jude CEO and Founder of Golden here. Super excited to take this live. We are out to build the next place for canonical knowledge on the Internet. It has been a long-term mission for me to open up the knowledge coverage of billions of niche topics, companies, technologies and new concepts. Our aim is to cover in excess of 10bn topics in high detail over time. Although we all love Wikipedia, there have been various issues in the last 18 years, from constant deletion of data (product hunt was almost removed a few months back) to fact validation and automation of processes/work and UI/ease of user. We also believe there are many more features that users want, like a knowledge feed, keyboard commands, AI assisted feedback on editor contributions and tables that can automatically update.

We have set out to:

1. Cover all topics that exist over time rather than just notable topics.

2. Go into greater depth around a topic, from its timeline to videos and other useful resources surrounding the topic (eg learning videos, further reading, blog posts, Q&A, podcasts etc).

3. Support a larger population of people trying to learn about topics.

4. Make knowledge more accessible, richer and fun to read about.

5. Allow you to track topics of interest and be updated when new information is available on the subject.

6. Save time making the knowledge in the first place by using design, UI and AI to aid construction of the information. Especially by automating repetitive tasks and bring smart editor features.

Initially we have kicked off with various areas from cell and plant based meat to synthetic biology to cryptocurrency consensus mechanisms to artificial intelligence, microbiome, stem cell technology and startup topics. We expect these areas to increase in scope over time covering space, medical food, clean technology, robotics and many more exciting fields.

We are still early on our journey to delivering our vision and very much looking forward to product feedback and help with building up the content. Our team is hard at work making the product easier to use, we are up for taking every flow to its simplest form and removing every bug. If there is a feature you have been dying for on Wikipedia but could not get it, please also let us know. We look forward to seeing you in our community and covering topics especially under represented elsewhere.
Similar in Denmark. I've had a co-workers that wanted to quit do to personal reasons. Our boss opted to fire him instead, so he be able to collect a severance pay (I think three month of pay).

Are there now available any TrueCrypt-like mountable encrypted filesystems for Android? Last I checked it seemed like it wasn't possible, but that was several years ago.

Even today it seems like there are many apps available that claim to keep photos, docs, etc., safe from prying eyes. But this seems to be accomplished just by putting the files into a location that's hidden from the standard apps, and requiring a password to run the one app that knows where to look. So, useless against something that captures the whole filesystem.
Answered to other sibling comment, could elaborate further for you though.

In order to pull other pipelines through Gitlab's API, you have to build another CI on top of an existing one. What I mean is that you're making the a pipeline to handle projects, but there's a catch - you have to run another pipeline to set the variables in the One pipeline to rule them all because you can't override variables from the jobs themselves! And the main pipeline would run a bunch of scripts to pass variables and handling the state.

Now let's compare that to other systems from my experience. Jenkins way: one Groovy script (might be written as a special job type from UI or through VCS) to do the job with some fancy features like pause to confirm the next step from the CI's Web UI, full control of everything. Teamcity way: either could be made from UI (with reverse dependency chain because you need to start connecting pipeline from the last jobs to first) or write yours from scratch with Kotlin DSL (there's still no direct support for pipelines[1]), you can handle the process through dependency settings and by setting variables from the jobs themselves. [2] An example of Teamcity approach. (black boxes are there because of my NDA)

How many soldiers are deployed to three or four different environments? I guess that the ones that are (based on my extensive knowledge of TV) will be looking for the extra advantage that a slight improvement gives.
I remember when it came out, and I sincerely doubt that there were bribes to get this design through.

It was just a sign of the times. Knowing the military for what it is, there’s just this incapacity to parse what’s appealing, and a push to grab the interest of young recruits. It’s pretty obvious that the digital pixel pattern fed into any marketing campaign involving buzzwordy digital cyber information superhighway bullshit, and that gave it the advantage.

It definitely felt like the kind of groupthink decision that falls out of focus groups. Just boring enough to not completely suck, but still reek obvious pandering to the core of a particular target audience.

The fundamental question being:

Would a high school student
be caught dead in this?

Which is to say, what can we ask recruiters to wear in public school gymnasiums and auditoriums that will provide an opening so they feel like they’ll be able to connect and sell to the kind of kid that we can get to sign up? Digital, pixels, information technology, cybercommand. Gentlemen, take a look at the future.
The paper's own discussion section explicitly acknowledges potential weaknesses:

This study has several important limitations. First, the quasi-experimental design of our
study limits our ability to draw any causal conclusions between the release of 13 Reasons Why
and increased suicide rates in young people in the U.S. Nevertheless, the time series and
forecasting approaches employed in this study allow us to make credible inferences about this
association. The initial increase in youth suicide rates in the month immediately following the
series release is concordant with a prior report showing a spike in Internet searches about
suicide in the month following release,46 and a small single-hospital study showing an increase
in suicide attempt admissions after the series’ premiere. Second, we were unable to assess
whether the observed increase in youth suicide rates was attributable to the portrayal of suicide
in the series, a lack of adherence to media guidelines (e.g., failure to provide national suicide
prevention resources until later months), or other factors. The observation that the series was
first released on March 31, 2017 and suicide rates increased that month also raises questions
about effects of pre-release media promotion of the series premiere. Third, we did not examine
the impact of 13 Reasons Why on specific methods of suicide (e.g., suicide by cutting) due to
small cell sizes, which would result in unstable estimates. Fourth, there may have been other
events or unmeasured factors that occurred during the study period that might be associated
with increased suicide rates. Fifth, our study may have lacked sufficient statistical power to
detect a significant association in 10- to 17-year-old girls. Finally, as with most studies looking at
possible contagion, we have little understanding of “dose” or context, including who specifically
watched the series, when they watched, whether they binge-watched, if it was further discussed
in peer-groups, how secondary discussions may have influenced vulnerable individuals, and
whether the subsequent focus on suicide prevention may have actually mitigated some of the
pronounced contagion effects.
The Vive probably has a way better screen, but the Oculus has way better controllers. At least they are way better for Beat Saber which is arguably the most controller motion intensive game available.
Not every programmer does his/hers best working remote and communicating through slack/skype meetings. People have different personality traits. The remote devs in your volunteer projects were probably self-selecting.

Also, some dev positions require extensive communication and that is easier in person.
