The stakes become even higher when people attempt to use Social Psychology as either the basis for moral frameworks or in evaluating morality. This can be problematic for a multitude of reasons (bias being the largest), and the biggest offender I've found is Jonathan Haidt and his 4 moral evaluators. Actually, I think in The Righteous Mind he's up to 5 now, time will tell if that continues to change with continued "no comment" about how, maybe, his approach is flawed.
It was anglicized so that most of their readers can actually pronounce it. In the article they provide the original name. We do this all the time in Poland: Ludwik XIV instead of Luis XIV, Jerzy Waszyngton instead of George Washington, and gazillion other historical figures. Nowadays maybe a bit less popular but definitely a thing. So “no one ever does this” is not really true, is it?

Here are specific sentences that make the claim:

> It’s one of the most enduring urban myths of all: If you get in trouble, don’t count on anyone nearby to help. Research dating back to the late 1960s documents how the great majority of people who witness crimes or violent behavior refuse to intervene. Psychologists dubbed this non-response as the “bystander effect”

The author said the bystander effect was "this non-response" which he describes in the previous sentence as "if you get in trouble don't count on anyone nearby to help." This is the very first sentence in the article.

> A new study published this year in the American Psychologist finds that this well-established bystander effect may largely be a myth. [...] The study finds that in nine out of 10 incidents, at least one bystander intervened, with an average of 3.8 interveners.

The author claims that the bystander effect is disproved if, in a group of people, "at least one" person intervenes.

> Instead of more bystanders creating an immobilizing “bystander effect,” the study actually found the more bystanders there were, the more likely it was that at least someone would intervene to help.

The author again claims that the bystander effect is disproved if "at least one" person helps.
Yeah. That comparison video is annoying. At one point they have three videos side-by-side with their video in the middle. In the next comparisons, theirs is on right. Aaaaaggh. Little things like that drive me nuts.

I have no expertise in this realm but some of their bullet videos seemed a little “artificial” or CGI. Maybe it is that some parts of a frame had much more detail/precision than other parts of the same frame.
An application capable of reading the clipboard is just as capable of covertly taking screenshots, recording keystrokes and otherwise compromising data being executed in the context of the same system user. Is gives a false sense of security guarding the clipboard when the real threat is untrustworthy (usually closed-source and proprietary) software itself, executed as a user with privileges.
Yeah, the Khoisan seem to be the FIRST population group to diverge from mainstream homo Sapiens (or was it the other way around?), and IIRC supposedly compose half of humanity by numbers back 100,000-20,000 years ago. It seems Ice Age Central and Southern Africa were the best biome for hunting-gathering humans.

Of course, post-agriculture most humanity lives in (East and South) Asia, except in Cyrus' age where a third of humanity lives in West Asia and Eastern North Africa. Persia ruled 1/3rd of humanity then, the most out of any empire after that. Except perhaps China of some periods

In C# 5.0, this problem is fixed and you can close over loop variables and get the results you expect.
It's a good strategy. But then you need there to be a stable equilibrium state that doesn't cost people too much money, not sure if the present system has that?
Hey, cool idea.

At my company we've built a slack bot that sits in front of a google sheet to manage transactions (eg. borrows) in our office library.[1]

I'd love to know whether this could be a Glide app, or whether we'd run into a technical limitation where we can't have users scan a book's ISBN and have that do a lookup in the sheet.

SSR is the future? What has PHP been doing for 15+ years?
I have a hunch it has to do with the sort of fast twitch athleticism that is required by the NBA combined with the volume that even young people play competitively.

There was a study of a soccer club leagues in Europe. They found the higher in competition you go, the slower twitch the players were. Why? Probably because they could simply play more without injury, even though faster twitch should provide an advantage in speed, etc. Instead though, faster twitch athletes can’t handle the work load and become injured.

One suggestion would be to measure this, and tailor the training load individually. Many athletes would benefit from less training because that is how they are built.
The monthly fee for Photoshop is around 1/100th of the old retail price. That works out at about 8 years of use before you have to 'buy' the software again. Seems fair to me.

And for those who don't like paying for Photoshop - which, given it's an astonishingly powerful piece of software, probably means "people who don't actually need Photoshop" - there's always cheap or free alternatives that provide about half the functionality.
In the exact same way that people say "Yuri Gagarin" instead of Ю́рий Гага́рин.

I work with several Polish people who intentionally anglicise their names due to the phonetics being awkward / not existing in English (E.g. Tomasz Vs Thomas).The same with German and Chinese people - it's either for convenience or a best approximation.
The scouting consensus is that he'd be a third/fourth rounder out of high school absent football [1]. That's being rather more charitable to his prospect stock than it probably deserves, considering he barely played in college as a freshman on a mediocre team (0 outs recorded, 2 walks, 1 HBP; 0-2 as a hitter [2]) and then didn't accumulate any stats as a sophomore before quitting.

Lots of Analysis on China, India and US AI Policy (Asia AI News – 12 July)
I am curious: do you consider yourself to be on the left or right end of the political spectrum?

I ask because even if your message is not explicitly political, it indicates to me that you might be leaning to the right and I am curious about what the root-differences between that and someone like myself who is probably more left leaning really are. Clearly it's related to fear, but I have fears too (like climate change or fascism). It's really interesting to me why people fear one but not the other, in each direction. It feels like there is some sort of fundamental psychological principle that decides whether you are one or the other.
I used to work at a bank that built a huge integrated application development and deployment stack on Python. One aspect of it was a custom library implementing a Directed Acyclic Graph, basically a way to ink up properties so that when the results of one property changed, any dependent properties on the DAG would automatically recalculate. This was explicitly implemented so that we could directly translate the logic from Excel sheets into Python code.

A lot of our projects were built to accept an excel sheet as input, then generate another Excel sheet as the output. The idea was the logic and data manipulation and transformation should be in source control, but the Quants would still have Excel available to build graphs, pivot tables and do statistical analysis on the results.

The DAG also turned out to be pretty handy for implementing web applications and all sorts of other apps though.
Cape Town has some areas that feel like an European town and some areas just filled with home-made sheds. I imagine that the crime rates are different in the places where there are actually cameras.

Unconfirmed reports suggest Apple has killed AR glasses project (updated)
I disagree. To me, Agile is a successful way to work, and I prefer it.

Completing a task is where I get my satisfaction, even if it is a part of a larger piece. Also when I see the client try out the new functionality and giving me feedback (positive or negative) on a completed task.

Another good point with agile is that I can pick any task I see fit and have the capabilities to complete. I'm not stuck with a certain part forever, that is awesome and I love it because I get to learn new things.

In your anecdote, it seems to me that the person complaining is not really interested in the agile concept and prefers to work the old-fashioned way. That is fine, but unless the workplace have projects that adhere to the waterfall-model that he could work on, maybe he's just in the wrong place?

Generalise, don't specialise: why focusing too narrowly is bad for us
The last two times I took a first aid course I was told to do this _specifically_ to override the bystander effect. Both times, the instructor named and explained the bystander effect, and said the best way to overcome it was to assign tasks to specific individuals.

So true, I used to run European cross-docking ops, planning, inventory, forecasting, scheduling, in Excel back the day. Successfully scaled by 100% YoY for three years. Was quite a lot of fun.

Issue I have with that approach is not using excel per se. It is using Eycel in addition to what ever system is being used the first place (SAP for example is a pretty popular thing to circumvent with Excel sheets). That and over engineering spreadsheets to the point where nobody but the creator can use them anymore. At that point you data just gets suspect. And circumventing existing systems with local offline spreadsheets just screws up everything. Now combine these two.

But that has less to do with spreadsheets themselves, see my fist point regarding cross docking, and more with the application. Used correctly spreadsheets can be incredibly powerful. And at least for my purposes I have yet to encounter an analysis issue I failed to dig through using Excel. Sure, something like Python might have worked better but consider me to be an empowered user (read: I have no clue about Python or SQL or...). And at least I knew I could trust the way the analysis was done as intended.
Just FYI, since I've implemented something similar in Swift, using the PWM you would have had to implement more or less the same algorithm, i.e. changing the duty cycle of an high frequency signal to generate these "slot-based" patterns that identify the 0s and 1s of the WS281x (there are minimal timing differences between the variants) protocol.

Note: God bless the Oscilloscope, essential for these projects.
Congratulations on the win! Can you recommend any papers, blog(post)s, or books for the interested layman? (I am currently scanning though the facebook post, which is great, but personally I am looking for something more technical).

did you ever "program" in LibreOffice with Python. Last time I checked, the API were veeery thin wrappers around the Java-API itself - I guess that this is hindering adoption (and not not having bindings to X)
How to Write an Arcade Emulator
IMO the problem here is the leap of faith you are making by believing an untested technology, operating on a planet scale, will help.

We only have one planet here, so instead of betting on a massive terraforming technology to suck the CO2 out of the air, I'd rather use a more conservative approach such as massive reforestation - something that is low-tech, can be done by anyone, anywhere, and improve the resilience of the ecosystem rather than kicking its balance again.
I would argue the difference between amateur and the top level professional baseball is so much wider than other sports just due to happenstance. MLB is older than the NCAA while the NBA and NFL are both younger than the NCAA. Therefore MLB needed to build up its own developmental leagues while the newer professional sports could rely on their college equivalents. Today almost every American born player in the NBA or NFL played in college while a whole lot of their MLB counterparts were drafted out of high school. That isn't due to some inherent difference in each sport or the ability of people to project forward a player's skill. It just the way the leagues happen to be setup.

All that said, you are certainly right that a projection of a player's skill is inherently more difficult to make the earlier that prediction must be made.

Lisp, like Reverse Polish Notation, is definitively not too hard to learn.

But, like Reverse Polish Notation, I don’t want to use it.
Kościuszko had been venerated as a saint during communism in Poland (first Polish Division formed in Sovitet Union was named after him, my school was named after him and many others). But today is omitted from history and forgotten.

The problem with Kosciuszko (and some other Polish officers of the era like Jakub Jasiński) is that they were deadly serious with abolishing slavery in America and serfdom in Poland (basically the same institution), giving full citizenship rights to all human beeings and liquidating privileged landowning class (szlachta - nobility).

This did not sit well with people who hijacked narrative of Polish history - descendants of landowning class bancrupted by Industrial Revolution in second half of XIX century. They romanticesed good old days of szlachta and have always perceived Kosciuszko as troblesome figure and rabble rouser.

>Most people have small or even non existent canines. Not much use for the jobs real carnivores need them for

And smaller jaws generations by generations... I believe anthropology concluded this adaptation was caused by cooking. Certainly, gorillas who are almost obligate herbivores have proportionally bigger fangs than us.

Incidentally, human guts don't ferment plants at all, so I'd argue we are closer to the carnivore half of the omnivore spectrum.

Or perhaps we outsource the fermentation to our tools and storages, which is actually a valid animal feeding tactics..

> nobody else is likely to respond

They are now. But maybe after some time everyone will think someone will help them anyway and stop. And so the cycle continues.
Maybe it works because it ofyen doesn't matter.

In cases where Data Science is a replacement for astrology ("just tell me some reassuring mumbo jumbo to alleviate the burden of decision making), the inevitable bugs may be irrelevant.

I appreciate the theoretical power of Excel. I just don't see how keeping logic in Spreadsheets bug free could be possible. The logic is hidden away and hard to get to. It is already hard enough to debug classical code. Spreadsheets seem impossible.
Great link!

“We’d be pretty similar pitchers now,” said Michael Kopech, a high school rival of Mahomes’ and now baseball’s No. 10 prospect according to MLB.com. “He was just a bulldog. To be honest, I think anyone who ever played with or against Patrick would’ve assumed he would’ve been a pro in any sport he played.”

Again, native talent not specialized practice. Or you could go with the example in TFA, Kobe Bryant who played more soccer than basketball until his junior year of high school. He still had some basketball success!
also, the way I read it is that bystander effect was posited to be something like

nobody else is doing anything and therefore I won't do anything

but if society has changed and somebody does get involved, it would be more like

that other guy is doing something and therefore I will get involved too

because we are social animals and we do what feels right, what we see others doing. So, although the outcomes might have changed, the process is still the same.

I remember reading a book some years ago (Lauren Slater, Opening Skinners Box) about some of the psychological experiments which had been done in the past. One of the general conclusions of those experiments that stood out to me seemed to be that only about 30% of people would actively take initiative if given the chance, but that generall people would follow social leads. I remember passing this book around at work to a couple of friends who both said that they felt that reading about this concept made them feel as if they were more aware of the social pressures to not act in situations and that they would therefore be more likely to step up as a result.
Seems like this was observered in a dish?

I just hate one single thing about Excel - all function names are localized - and in case of my native language - they are horrible and inconsistent.
Plus I would expect it would also be a function of the legal system. Some countries like France are typically hostile to self-defence / vigilanties as opposed to a country like the US. If you intervene and the assaulter gets hurt, you might be in significant legal troubles.
Ask HN: My wife keeps being harassed in WhatsApp, what can I do?
My wife receives constantly receives harassment messages in whatsup for couple of months. it seem to originate from different local phone numbers.
Once in a while the number is switched, but the content is the same.
Looks like all the numbers are from burner phones.

What I tried:
* Used Truecaller type apps to identify the person, but no results.
* I created a mock website and sent a link to the person behind it, hoping that he will press the link and I could track his IP. but unfortunately he/she didn't press the link.

Anyone has any idea how can I identify the person behinds this ?
We do this in Lithuanian all the time.For instance, Albert Einstein would become Albertas Enšteinas. Donald Trump - Donaldas Trumpas.
I have come across the bystander effect often enough in popular culture, that I would say a very significant amount of people is aware of the concept, even if they might not remember its specific name.

This is not the first time and will certainly not be the last time such companies do this. I have seen a documentary where insurance people bluntly asked relatives how much their beloved husband/wife/kid was worth.

I think it's very strange people can actually sign their rights away. That should be illegal worldwide.
> advanced user

Yep, the problem is that I have this conspiracy theory that Microsoft has designed Excel to be the ultimate booster of Dunning-Krueger effect so that most people think they are advanced users [1] while they actually have no clue what they are doing. All the while giving no protection whatsoever against those Dunning-Krueger cases.
