My assumption is that most unpublished trials were "no effect".

Be a drug company. Develop a "drug" that is really a placebo (has no effect). Do 10 trials. 8 are "no effect", 1 is positive (by chance), 1 is negative (by cance). Publish the positive drug. Market the drug as having positive effect. Sell the drug, make billions. It would take decades for enough other research (mostly "no effect") to accumulate before it becomes obvious that your drug actually has no effect.

I don't think it's strange. I often prefer to work or study in the car compared to using busy (library) or expensive (cafe/coworking space) alternatives. Home is reserved for relaxation and family, and I learned when I used to commute a long way by car that it serves as a mobile private and separate space that's perfect for self improvement and learning.

On the other hand it might be an opportunity to prove that a nuclear disaster (even in an outdated reactor and the worst case scenario of the largest tsunami ever) isn't all that bad. Instead of leaving it alone, there's an active effort to clean up the damage completely, and it might just work. JR East has just announced that limited express train from Tokyo to Sendai that goes right through the exclusion zone (within 1.5 km of Fukushima Dai-Ichi) will be relaunched by the end of the year (currently it stops at Iwaki). The methods used to remove radiation around the railway are quite interesting (replacing the soil, walls of trees to prevent contamination by wind-blown particles etc.)
> Most? Recognizing that a cheap food is fine for a dog has no bearing on healthcare.

it's not always the recognition; in some cases it's an indicator of economic capability.

In other words : some people choose to feed their pets with cheap food because it is not economically feasible for them not to.

>Feeding your child chicken and rice instead of caviar and brie doesn’t mean you wouldn’t take your child to the hospital for treatments.

No, but the example can be made significant if you consider an extreme example.

If a family is incapable of providing a constant supply of food to their children and themselves due to economic hardship they're also less likely to pursue healthcare options due to the intrinsic costs of doing so. Travel, copays, time discussing social welfare options, etc. It all costs something.

In other words : the poor are in worse health than those that make more money.
I'm pretty junior at coding but I find FZF great.

I feel like you've made in "inverse error" here repeatedly.

If a language L1 is Turing complete then you have some potential liabilities: there's no general normalization plan, you cannot in general ensure security guarantees, etc. But another language, L2, might be not-Turing-complete and still have all the same problems. It may especially be the case that L2 has no known normalization algorithm, or no known general security audit.

For example, many interesting properties are undecidable for the general case of context-free languages (a class that I'm sure you know is much more restricted than the class for Turing-complete languages). For example universality is undecidable in this class, as is language equivalence. As for being sure that the language cannot do a jailbreak, you can't be sure until you write a proof. It's nice that Godel isn't telling you that no such proof can possibly be written, but that's still a long way from having a proof.

I agree with you that this sort of thinking seems to be why people say that they do not want certain languages to be Turing-complete, but I'm not at all convinced that those people have correctly named the property that they want.

Agreed. Funny how some things get flagged so very fast. If this story is true it does matter.

> The premise of heritable fertility driving population and reproduction rates in humans is really far off.

Yes, until reliably accessible contraception fertility was driven by the desire to have sex.

> If it were true fertility rates could not possibly have dropped so far in so few generations after modern medicine and the insane reduction in violent death rates seen in the last thousand years.

This assumes no change in the environment, when it has manifestly changed. In this new environment in which desire to have children leads to having more children, on average, the desire to have more children will be selected for.

Crossing the Pacific will probably not work in a long time without one extremely long tunnel. But for a lot of 1-2hour flights and transportation with cars. With highspeed train maybe also 2-6 hour plain flights. Do the math, it can compete on time.
May be of interest:

The author creates small wrappers to kill processes, search files, etc.

The concept could be extended to recognize certain object types. E.g. if you select some files with search then you could choose from a list of operations on files (delete, grep, copy path, etc.)

If you select from processes then after selection you could select from process actions to perform on the selection (killing, sending some other signal, etc.)

So this way you don't implement separate wrappers for every kind of usage, you just create actions for certain object types and connect selections to object types.

This is how Helm works in Emacs, and probably there is a VIM equivalent too.

I'm a little confused by one part of what you wrote. You say that your config files must be readable by vi, and that in turn adds a no-highlighting-required constraint and a no-schema-required constraint, and that in turn adds a no-JSON-nor-anything-like-it constraint.

I deal with JSON all the time in vim, effortlessly. I'd be willing to deal with it in Notepad if necessary, and certainly in non-vim vi. Pipe it through a prettifier (lately I use `jq . file.json`) if necessary.

I don't need syntax highlighting, and I don't need a formalized schema (although I certainly appreciate an informal one, interpreted by the 1.0 Human Meatbrain I carry around). Also, if by "vi" you meant "vim", this is EVEN MORE confusing, because vim syntax-highlights JSON.
If you need to query for a nested relationship, that's multiple REST requests, such as "all posts by a user" and "replies to a given post". You could write up a single REST endpoint to support that, but now you're making a customized API endpoint to optimize for your current frontend needs. If you decide to display more or less, that API needs to be changed too.

With that said, I'm not a big fan of GraphQL, but this particular trade-off seems like a win over REST.

Yup. This is why I left eBay and PayPal.

PayPal charged me £400 which I was lucky I spotted. Eventually after a week got the money back.

I never got an explanation why it happened or how I or they would prevent it in future. I prevented it by leaving eBay and Paypal.
Regarding the keyboard: you really need to take time and learn how to use it. You don't push the buttons, you more like softly touch them. It's strange at the beginning but then you really appreciate the fact that you don't have to work that hard to get the same result.

Technology always also influences humans, forms society.
The main factors currently in determining family size is not genetically heritable, but cultural. Culture appears to be heritable but that is just because culture tends to be passed down.

Culture can change fast in either way, towards more children or less.

This does not mean we will be stable but rather culture matters.

For example soon as a member leaves a conservative religion stream and shifts to a more liberal streams their fertility instantly drops in one generation. Israel's government even models this in their demographics projects as the flow between religious streams of Judaism is the biggest fertility modifier in that country.

This does means in part conservatives will inherit the earth because liberal culture right now cause smaller families but this is culture. I think liberals have to fix this.

Also if a women gets an education her fertility drops and the more education the lower the fertility. This means uneducated women (for whatever reason, religious or other) will inherit the earth. If educated women tend to be those with more genetic talents, and in aggregate this may be the case, then this is quite a problematic trend long term.

I think the trends to who has fertility and who doesn't isn't great and should be a real topic of conversation. As a society currently we do not deal with this head on.
Panasonic never "scaled back its investment". They already made the investment to produce 35 GWh but haven't been able to reach this production level yet. They'll invest more later, to reach the new 54 GWh target -- only when they start hitting the 35 GWh mark. Investing too early is unnecessary.

>companies had already together invested $4.5 billion in the facility and had been planning to expand the plant’s capacity to the equivalent of 54 gigawatt hours (GWh) a year in 2020 from 35 GWh at present.

it's known as "regulatory capture" and it's extremely common.

The point is that mechanical shutters in useful DSLRs have massive rolling shutter artifacts. You can get video cameras with shutter skew in the low microseconds or even sub-microsecond.

Remember, the exposure has to be short due to motion blur.

Concepts of resonant rotating camera heads that use torsion springs and electronically controlled clutches with a torsion oscillator that advances the camera in a few milliseconds were made, but apart from an ability to capture ~1 Gpixel effective 360° data in 2 seconds (there is overlap due to covering the sphere with rectangles and not changing the horizontal number of images per revolution (oscillation frequency) to reduce overlap at nadir and zenit), the benefits were considered insufficient to warrant more time on it before I actually _have_ the camera. And I'll probably have an fpga that is too bulky to oscillate with it, so I need fatigue-resistant cabling for the 64 + 2 clocks high-speed LVDS lanes between them.

You can get e.g. the Blackmagic pocket cinema 4k that writes 30fps DCI4k DNG with an electronic global shutter to an USB-C SSD.

I have no plans to rely on magnetic field sensors or GNSS. I plan to fuse bundle adjustment with constraints from the raw sensor data.
Offset and drift correction for both will be done there, and thus I don't get the typical drift-off issues from cumulating a sensor offset.

I _do_ plan to allow fixing feature markers in space, to handle geo-referencing and potential un-curling at the same time.
(Depending on lens distortion you get variously strong tendencies for the area you scan to either reconstruct as a small hollow earth or a small spherical earth (in both cases the average surface curvature radius is up to a few km at most, often even less).)
Most conversations are (hopefully) not about firing the other person, unless the company is rapidly imploding. I think this is an implicit precondition of the test – it's about unnecessarily making someone feel bad, on the assumption that most conversations are not of the sort where the message to be communicated is inherently and necessarily bad news.
Right but that wasn't the point. The idea sometimes put out is that a more sophisticated instrumentation is less likely because it's more difficult. It's a misapplication of the threat model principle.

It's a false claim because the instrumentation is automated and the execution is identical.

To be even more specific about HTTPS, if someone is lying to you about DNS, lying to you about the key signer and lying to you about the keys, it still doesn't work because your browser ships with verification keys from the major key signers.

So the attacker would still have to break cryptography because they couldn't do a fake chain that matched the domain and the key that was sent to you with your browser.

Now if someone managed to break RSA then again, this would become a single program with as much effort to run as any other program even though it sounds like a lot more work. But there's no public break so it's assumed to be unachievable without vast computing resources.
And I'd bet their fraud detection machine learning bingo tool will learn "owner did not contact us after the ban" as a correct ban and continue to be more obnoxious to all the other customers.

Oh well, whoever are still using Paypal should know by now what they are risking.
Yes, I am not bothered by that. I'm bothered by the price. The time is usually fine; there are plugs in the train and it's comfortable. But for trips I do Malaga-Amsterdam or Malaga-London return we are talking 400-600 for train vs <150 for a flight. Bus is the same price as a plane ticket but unsafer (than both train & flight), longer and vastly more uncomfortable (I am Dutch; tall and not a spring chicken).
Yeah, if your functions return the same error it's quite difficult to use the "else" pattern. I also dislike the fact that the error handling is not near the function that provokes it, but in a separate block, so you have to remember which function in the pipeline returns which error. I've never written a with-pipeline with more than 4-5 calls, so it's been easy to avoid its limitations, but I can understand it's not optimal if you're writing complex stuff.

Thank you for explaining this to me. I have read so many great things about keybase, I can tell the people behind it are smart and trying to do more for the world than some 'give me money and data' tech place. Each product / service I have seen mentioned around HN for years seems to be so much of what I have been looking for - but almost / not quite - however I have seen how they would be great for so many others that do not have the censorship issues that I run into.

I wish I could clone the keybase and keybase chat thing and run it federated / uncensored with opt-in group follow moderation. So far it looks like Matrix and Mastadon maybe ipfs / peertube kind of stuff will be the closest things for what I could use comfortably given the increasing censorship and need for mainstream monetization of most projects.

Thanks again for explaining, I was indeed getting confused about the services around them and now I understand a bit better how the pieces fit.

PayPal manipulating, removing, or holding hostage the balance of your account?

Yes that’s normal for PayPal.

Getting a the runaround about how and why it happened?

Yep, that’s expected too.

Actually getting a non-form letter response of any type?

That’s just lucky. We couldn’t get an account rep on the phone for almost 4 days when ~35k was suddenly deducted from the account. Nor when they accidentally cancelled all of our customers subscriptions while working an an unrelated fraud incident. Of course in both of these instances the customers blamed us for not being able to process refunds and being unable to reactivate their subscriptions.

PayPal, working as intended.

Actually Article 11 is in effect in Germany.
Article 13 also.
Similar to my experience, especially the ping-ponging between eBay and PayPal. In my case, I _did_ actually sell something, but then the buyer decided to return it. Somehow both my eBay and PayPal accounts got into a 'locked' state, with no way to resolve it instead of contacting customer service. The experience with their CS department was beyond frustrating - they're happy to send 'red' letters demanding refunds and transaction fees despite cutting off all my ability to do anything about it.

Reading this post has given me the final nudge I need to look into closing both those accounts.

No, most people would not be this agitated about a mistaken transaction being silently refunded. At best they'd probably assume the notification went to spam or something and went on with their day

My bank doesn't notify me about any transactions, I have to check my bank book manually. Once a mistaken transaction showed up and disappeared a few hours later, with no trace left behind at all. I just assumed it was a mistake and didn't bother getting angry.

It's beyond obvious. Strange that people are arguing against it.

And, going one further, in the past people had children as a matter of rote. Now, it has to be a deliberate, overcoming the obstacle of modernity, in a sense. In the same way smallpox had a habit of reducing the population's potential, so too (by a different mechanism) does education, birth control, abortion, etc. A subset of the population will effectively become immune to those things.
