It's not presented as irrelevant in the article. The article presents it as "a wisdom of the crowd technique", and ends with "there can be high confidence that the correct answer is No".

So it is assumed that people using this technique could be inferring the correct answer by finding the surprisingly popular answer. Not just a observation about what the population thinks.
Same mentality that got us into Iraq.

If we had just respected their sovereignty, we never would have gone there.
Some of this guy's lack of popularity is down to his videos not being labelled well, but I think most of it is really due to the fact no one's promoting his work at all.

Because nowadays, that's pretty much the only way to succeed in any form of content creation. * Getting people/companies/sites with thousands or millions of viewers to share your work, and using their audience to bootstrap your own.

This guy obviously doesn't have that. So no one's finding his content, even if they'd enjoy watching it.

Or at least he didn't. Since thisa rticle was posted, his channel's gone from about 2000 subscribers to 12,000 subscribers, just like how it'd gone from 100 to 2000 once it was posted on those deep into YouTube style subreddits.

So he's finally getting a following, because people now know he exists and makes videos.

* For 99% of creators anyway. There's always the 1% of people who strike it big from pure luck/timing alone, usually because they managed to catch an upcoming trend before it hit the mainstream.
Certainly.

But who you voted for indicates your least-bad preference of the options available.
That's not really true. We have primaries. Republican primary voters didn't have a great set of options, but they clearly chose the worst person in American politics in about 50 years. What conclusion am I supposed to draw from this?
> Therefore, they all support putting migrants in cages.

This is incredibly dangerous thinking. I don’t want to get involved in politics but I would hope a discussion on hacker news would hold higher standards than blanket statements like that.
Most of BART’s challenges stem from 180 software packages and 30 microprocessors that make up each Bombardier vehicle. Each is a complex symphony of systems that communicate over an Ethernet backbone. A bug in one line of code could shut the whole thing down, requiring a rigorous safety review process that may take months before engineers can reinstall the software."
It's his job to direct traffic through the space, I'm sure they understand that he knows best when and how to do the work.

Don't need them for SQL server hosts, you need them for AD (one per user) or login connections (other than admin).
I've lived in Tokyo for many years and have no idea what you're talking about. The characters are very peculiar but completely legible at a glance, and the maps are incredibly informative.
> they voted for a guy who is putting migrants in cages

The funny thing about your comment is it applies to Trump and Obama voters:

> If Republican voters actually have a moderate view of immigration

To me it looks like they're actually extremely pro-immigration - despite the awful actions of ICE, it's continuing at a near-record pace of over 1 million per year: https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2017/tab...
“but they voted for a guy who is putting migrants in cages. Therefore, they all support putting migrants in cages.”

parody account or very naive and young. either way, you’re no liberal.

Yeah I was being hyperbolic. But instead of cooling a bit and wasting heat.. it's less absurd to actually store both.

Do you happen to know if there are fridges with heat scavenging ?
Well, there aren't many sellers which try to directly sue their allegedly cheating customers. It's almost never worth it. Platforms might be able to make that work, but they don't do that either. IMHO, the desire for buyer info is not motivated by trying to hedge against customer fraud but on trying to monetize everything - selling data, advertising to existing customers since they're more likely to buy v2 of what they bought, etc.

Giving less of my info to sellers is therefore less a technological characteristic of a payment system, and more a choice by the system's creators. There's no technological hurdle to even having a credit card which gives a bit less info. Theoretically, the credit company only needs to see my expense, current available funds and some transaction/merchant identifier, not exactly what I spend it on or even who I am.

I'm hoping some of the new NFC-based payment systems will make privacy a differentiator. They'll need something if they want to get into the market with such established players. We'll see what Apple comes along with. I've been slagging them quite a bit, but they do try to make privacy a selling point. Perhaps here too?

As for the second issue, I am sure that a form of chargeback could be implemented on top of crypto. Your first link just shows one way to do it - but doesn't link to any implementations of this. The second link explicitly mentions 'no chargebacks', so again, it's theoretical in the sense of not existing.

The hurdle here is again not technological, but the apparently inability of the crypto community to think that people might want this behaviour. Sometimes even sellers. Where I live, allowing return of unused goods before a certain period of time has passed is mandated by law. Payment methods which does not have chargeback may actually complicate seller's business in this case, since than they have to be even more careful against internal fraud and pay an extra fee for the return as if it were a new transfer (if not in cash).

Thirdly, fraud and ransomware are getting worse and worse. I'm sure eventually there'll a crackdown. I just can't predict how, where and when. But crypto would be a very convenient target politically; this doesn't yet require targeting any large stakeholder.

Alas, the one thing the crypto community is right about, is that many economists are just waiting to be able to implement negative interest rates - but I doubt crypto would be able to change anything there.

I have been. You are referring I suppose to Brocélien. It is an old forest but not in any way wild. (Sa histoire: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forêt_de_Paimpont#Histoire). By "wild" I mean "untouched by man". Those places are worth saving, but there are not very many remaining, and certainly almost none in continental Europe. We should respect our forests and other open spaces, but some windmills is much less of a problem than the alternative.
It really is lol.

People have too much of a sense of dignity to admit this lol.

But isn't maturing just a matter of losing all sense of dignity lol.
I don't know of any US bank that uses a notary in quite this way. It's not a notarial act under the model notary act.

A notary can acknowledge the depositor's claim and identity, but can't be held liable for the depositor's claims.

A notary can verify that a man with John Doe's legal ID claims to be depositing one (1) Shroud of Turin and twelve (12) Pieces of Eight from a Spanish Galleon with certificate of authenticity from the Franklin Mint, but the notary is not verifying the truth about or value of the actual contents.
I started playing with Nix and recently also tried NixOS and NixOps and I must say that it actually did correctly what other tools (salt, chef, ansible, docker, vagrant, packer and others) failed to do.

Nix approach is to build everything from ground up without depending on anything outside of it. It caches results so you don't have to rebuild the whole system when building your application. This approach makes fully reproducible builds[1], because the entire environment is known.

Nix by itself can be used for deployments, you can install it on any machine that has nix installed and don't need to worry about any other dependencies, since nix will take care of all of them. It can generate a docker image of you need it, and it will only contain your application with is dependencies. You can use nix-shell to define CDE with all developer tools installed with exact same versions that way developers only need to have nix installed and nix will take care of all other dependencies you need.

NixOS takes what Nix does and takes it one step further and uses a configuration that similarly describes an entire operating system. The single configuration.nix describes what your system supposed to have installed, and configured. You can either deploy that and have nix configure machine on boot, configure machine create /etc/NIXOS_LUSTRATE file which removes all state on next reboot and create AMI out of it (equivalent to what packer does). Or have nix generate an image file and upload that to AWS.

NixOps supposed to be for deployments, but to me it replaces vagrant and docker you can create configuration.nix and deploy it with local vbox, ec2 and other cloud providers. The great thing is that your configuration file will just work fine no matter which provider you use.

There are some rough edges though, for example I needed to update NixOps to use boto3 so it works with assume role and MFA, I hope it will be merged soon.

I believe the issue is that what they are doing is very ambitious and they have limited number of developers to handle all of the work, but from all devops tooling I used they seem to have the right approach. They provide the immutability reproducibility at the right level and doing it the right way (declarative (through use of pure, functional, lazily evaluated language starting with a fully known state) vs an iterative language with a partially known state)

[1] your need to pin your build down to specific version of nixpkgs
Thanks for assuming that all Republicans voted for Trump. Your hasty generalization shows you know us well.

I am a Republican and voted for Rubio in the primary and Gary Johnson in the election. I'm sticking with the GOP because despite the evangelicals and Tea Party--both are anti-intellectual movements that breed the Trump swamp--the party's core values of limited government and equal opportunity ring true in ways that the democrat party has never worked for me.
>The authors of a 2017 study in the Journal of Politics revealed that the average Democrat believes that more than 40 percent of Republicans earn more than $250,000 per year. Meanwhile, Republicans believe that nearly 40 percent of Democrats are LGBTQ. How close are these estimates to reality? Not very. Just 2 percent of Republicans are doing that well financially, and just 6 percent of Democrats are LGBTQ.

I think the authors of the study and the author of this article are measuring something completely different than what they think they're measuring. Although the questions are geared towards measuring specific traits (wealthy repub, or LGBTQ dem), I think what the study participants are actually estimating are the support network "power" for those ideals. I would bet if you rephrased the questions to:

>"What percentage of Republicans would go along with wealthy Republican leadership decisions?"

and

>"What percentage of Democrats would go along with LGBTQ leadership decisions?"

...you would get similar percentages to the original questions. I would argue that the participants are naturally estimating the social power of the ideals in question, because it's a more useful metric, and I would make the argument that humans (on average) are really good at estimating that particular thing because it's what we've been optimizing for for the last few thousand years with investments, fashion, war, and innovation.
You're just bragging lol. Stop it (said flirtatiously)
Print shops are a thing. I can order a large vinyl banner on the internet for under $50 here in the US. That has to be possible in Japan too.
From personal experience: the slowest PPC Mac the 6100/60 was about the speed of the LCIi (68030-16Mhz with a 16 bit bus) under emulation. It was much slower than my LCII with a 68030-40Mhz card. It wasn’t until Connectix came out with a better emulator that emulation approaches tte speed of my old accelerated LCII. It also didn’t help that parts of the operating system were still emulated.
A more realistic example of that would be:

Q. Is the earth flat?

Yes: 0.1%
No: 99.9%

Q: What do you think most people will respond to that question?

Yes: 10%
No: 90%

Analysis:
Yes: 0.1% - 10% = -9.9%
No: 99.9% - 90% = 9.9%

Conclusion: the earth is not flat.

Not sure where you're getting the "10% believe the earth is flat" from, but if that's just your guess then it's pretty reasonable for people to say they think 10% of people will respond yes to the question.
Yeah, why would you want to support your own economy rather than someone else's?

A Gentle Reminder about Conjugate Priors
The concept in the article is pretty much a counter example of that. It says that if there is a core part of the crowd that are expert on the topic at hand, and they answer differently from the crowd wisdom, there is a way to find out about it using a meta-question about the crowd wisdom itself.
They may not emotionally agree with it individually.

But they enabled the behavior.

These voters are suffering cognitive dissonance.

Their actions mean more than their self professed personal identity. That’s been true in social discourse forever.

Or should we let rapists go because they felt like they needed to rape and we should allow perpetrators their feelings over their victims real freedoms?

In the same way we jail rapists for their actions we can shame and demonize others for crap actions.

This cause effect loop is what we rely on to improve our society. So long as it doesn’t devolve into caging old white people, it’s not a big deal to me if they lose some political power given what the world looks like when they have it.

SCOTUS just confirmed the people are not owed objective representation. Their side just enabled the path for their own undoing.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from repercussions of that speech.

John Stuart Mill said the government should be prevented from punishing people for being drunks. But their neighbors were under no obligation to accept them for being a drunk.

This is well trodden philosophical territory that gets circular fast. Cause here you are calling someone else’s position unreasonable over their position that others are unreasonable and should be called such.

Subjective emotional positions is how humans view the world. It’s unreasonable to expect we all subscribe to the same take.
Not being familiar with "Web Components" (vs. web components), could an expert chime in with thoughts on why they don't appear to be catching on? That is, why are frameworks like React and Vue not leveraging this native browser capability?
EDIT: Why height is relevant : "Why study height? Height is the “poster child” of complex genetic traits, meaning it is influenced by multiple genetic variants working together. It’s easy to measure, so makes a relatively simple model for understanding traits produced by not one gene, but many."
NYC has also had problems with Bombadier and banned them from bidding on new contracts. Ongoing deliveries from them have been frozen until their problems are fixed (bad welds being the most dangerous but reliability overall being terrible).
Nobody is in favor of putting kids in cages, but at the same time nobody can agree on who is at fault or how to stop it. I heard one person use the cages as support for the border wall, saying that if nobody could cross the border nobody would be caught by ICE. Almost everybody can agree on most of the same morals but as far as facts and deductions we might as well all be living in different universes.
Stop mentioning this effect. Every time I see it I get a big headache. Maybe I'll write a userscript (some kind of monkey whatever lol) one of these days to regex replace lol.
It's not really that unreasonable that a view like that exists.

The right wing, where ever you place that pin, has decided to play winner takes all politics for a long time in the west. The left loses when it compromises in most political spheres. The saying, the left always fight's itself first, didn't just pop out of thin air.

I think the left is becoming a little more hard nosed with fighting, and realizing that winning is winning is winning and it doesn't matter how you get there it's what you do once you are there. And I'd say this may be an effect of climate change and that we may be living in the last two decades where we can take meaningful action on climate change.

>Let me re-assure everyone out there ... No, your disks are not eavesdropping. Disks eavesdropping should be the least of your worries security-wise.

Sure, but think about how many people will refuse your statement and - thanks to the article - will start to believe that aliens use hard disk recordings before abducting them.

The damage has alas already been done, on - quite frankly - a very thin basis, your general criticism is very well founded, a "reputable" institution would (should) never accept those clickbaity titles.

This isn't about blame or fixing it, it's about how dangerous it is when we broadly paint those we disagree with as "enemy" and ignore the facts, decency and reason that bind us together in society.

I don’t think buying some stock from Euro-based companies constitutes as “supporting your own economy.”

If that’s your goal, then I’d argue buying Euro bonds would be closer to that, though many have negative interest rates at the moment.

I would not be surprised if some jewelers offered secure storage of this sort as a service once you hit a certain level. There may also be a significant difference in the services offered in "consumer" banking and "private banking for high net worth individuals."
Kind of weird that people expected to get paid simply for having money in the first place.
Also, and this doesn't sound like much until you experience it, getting on and off the boat (and thus into and out of different countries) is really simple. You walk off. You walk on. It's the easiest customs experience I've had.
While true, once you reach a certain point, that's all water under the bridge, and the only question that remains is how motivating it is to pursue that last 5%.
1) Unless you're going from end-to-end, you're unlikely to do a 60 minute commute on a BART

2) It turned out a lot of BART cameras were fake. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Repl...

3) If they got rid of cameras you'd still not be able to use your computer during your commute because you'd almost certainly be robbed within the year if you were to use it every day on the BART for a year. In fact, even with cameras this will be true.
You mean like this:

1. Who will you vote for?

2. Who do you think will win?

I don't know if we can learn anything from the surprisingly popular answer here, but now I wonder if question 2 would be a better predictor of the election result. But it will be tainted by previous polls and news.
>Banks see their margins squeezed. They’re earning next to nothing from lending but still need to offer depositors a rate above zero to keep their business.

I disagree. If every bank offers negative interest then savers will have no choice: and if that's what the market says has to happen, it will happen. Negative interest has happened before in history.
