Totally agree. Also in my book the only kind of emergency is the one where you are hurt or in imminent danger of being hurt. Business emergencies are not emergencies. Businesses have thrived for hundreds of years without cell phones. Microsoft and Apple built their empire without needing to reach employees 24/7.
Regarding music, the biggest shift in mindset for me was when I heard (and I can't remember where from now) that music theory is _descriptive_ and not proscriptive.

In other words, people have made music since the beginning of recorded history in ways that sound pleasing to them, and music theory is the language that evolved to describe the types of music that consistently sounded good to some people. It's not a set of rules that you must follow, and in fact if you stick too closely to what came before your music will probably be boring to most people.

Given the extreme lack of abstraction elsewhere, I highly doubt it.
Good point. College (university for us!) is not for everyone, and I can't speak for America but I feel that we look down upon trades in the UK a little sometimes. Being a tradesman is a completely valid choice that I believe is equal with a more academic route.

That being said, it's hard to blame the individual going to university if there career requires that and it's also a fact that a tradesman is probably going to be earning a lot more than a student for at least the period of time they're studying.

I also believe (like I said before) that allowing people financial help to study improves the whole country, especially being that every family can afford to send their children so for myself I can justify this extra tax.

Your point hasn't swayed me, but it has made me consider the 'other side' at least so thank you.
The thing is, hard core frequentists don't really exist. You have Bayesians, and you have people who happily use Bayes theorem as appropriate.

Take this article as an example. Reading it, I got the sense that the author at some point in life discovered Bayesian statistics, and is now on a crusade to twist everything into a pro and anti-Bayesian stance.

His example of the base rate fallacy (breat cancer diagnosis) is probably in every "frequentist" text book out there. Frequentists are well aware of it, and have no aversion to using Bayes Theorem. You will not find a frequentist objecting to taking into account the base rate when applying statistics. The difference, as the GP mentioned, is that the base rate is fairly well known and not subject to much debate. Whereas this:

>Maybe we’re not so dogmatic as to rule out “The Thinker” hypothesis altogether, but a prior probability of 1 in 1,000, somewhere between the chance of being dealt a full house and four-of-a-kind in a poker hand, could be around the right order of magnitude.

Is a number he pulled out of his rear end, and his subsequent calculation is not meaningful to people who don't agree with the prior. Sure, anyone can manufacture a prior if they wanted. And part of me is merely wondering: If he wanted a prior of 1 in 1000, why not simply require a p value of 0.001 instead of the 0.03 the paper used? The problem with the paper is that the sample size is small (n=57), and small samples are a lot more likely to give extreme results. I'll be OK with a p=0.03 if n=10000, but not if n < 100.
What a lot of it really comes down to is investing in yourself as if you were a business.

There are plenty of reasons to take on debt that make business sense.

Most of what people go into this kind of debt over is not debt that a well-managed business would take on.

Re #2, keys, scales, and chords are fundamental units of Western music. You could compare them to words, which are joined into sentences. Chord progressions are sequences of chords, which only make sense in the context of the current key and scale.

Learning about keys, scales, and chords will help you understand music but not necessarily force you into predetermined patterns. Learning chord progressions will help you hear patterns in music, which may reduce your enjoyment of pop music since a handful of progressions are used almost everywhere. On the other hand, if you enjoy trope-spotting, it may increase your enjoyment.
> Bayesian analysis can also be abused, and that proper protocols still need to be followed. A point on which I believe we agree. :-)

Yes, indeed. :-)
It sounds like this is evidence for that view then. Why is the researcher's theory relevant to results that support that theory?
Far too high status for anything careless.

It's more or less anachronistic to talk about 'witches' in the Iron Age, certainly in the modern sense that connotes "naughty bad not-christian women spellcasters".
Better idea: You have a surveillance network capable of facial recognition. My child goes missing. The only way for you (the police and your network) to know about this is if I inform you. At that point, you can request images of the child and feed them into your machine to see if you can get a hit.

I'm reminded of a YouTube video, The Rules for Rulers, that touched on this. It makes the point that in a country with oil-based wealth, the keys to power are held by a few small elite, in contrast to a country with a 'service economy', in which case the masses are vital to the country's wealth.

This is known as the "evidence". Usually we expect scientific papers to not only present their data, but also some analysis and some kind of conclusion. If we eliminate that second half, it probably won't do much to solve the problem.

More importantly, your priors help you elect plausible explanations for data that let you delve deeper and identify the root cause. If you pretend not to have priors, you won't have any idea how to understand the data.

For example, you run an experiment that shows that several communities using pesticide X average a 1% higher rate of lung cancer than comminities using pesticide Y. There's a lot of variance though, and some communities X have much lower cancer rates.

You could publish the data with no further analysis and leave the broader scientific community to do the work of trying to draw conclusions. Or you could remember that you expected the opposite effect, because pesticide Y has a more direct route to enter the lungs, and then you go back and check the smoking rates in those communities and find a nearly perfect correlation. Accounting for the smoking rates, pesticide Y appears to increase lung cancer rates by 1% relative to pesticide X.

Yes, you could have just published the raw data and other scientists could have figured that out. But realistically, they won't be nearly as involved as you and your peer reviewers are in the work. Even assuming you identify the communities in your published dataset, few scientists doing a meta-review would go deep enough to cros correlate your data against smoking rates if you didn't already do it for them. And if they actually do it, it's only because their priors are telling them that there's an important effect that could alter the conclusion...

In other words, it's your priors that give you a nagging feeling that no matter how big the sample size D is comparing cancer rates among X and Y, you just won't feel P(C|X,~Y,D)-P(C|~X,Y,D) collapse to a narrow distribution in your mind, because you'll know that the outcome hinges critically on a third factor that you haven't seen yet.
For what it's worth, the general vibe I've gotten from couriers has been that Caviar is one of the best food delivery apps for them, and that DoorDash is among the worst.
He also has a mailing list of all the police officers in his department. Why not make those public? It makes sense.
Google would benefit (maybe) only in the short term. If folks leave Chrome for browsers with adblock that would be a 1-2 punch.

> The whole peer-review process we have today is stuck in the 19th century.

There are journals that do light initial screening, then publish the submitted manuscripts online, then publish the whole peer review (reviewer comments and authors' responses) online, and then proceed (or not) to publish the reviewed article. Also anyone on the internet can leave an additional review, or just some questions, during the review process.

Also there are journals that have comment sections for the published articles.

Governments change, as do treatments of different groups of people. Perhaps the government had no issue with your practicing of a particular religion or being an immigrant before some disaster, war, or nationalist wave changes things.
Subclinical is the right word for that, yeah.

>How is that a complicating factor in discovering causes themselves?

The study links the factor under study to autism diagnosis, rather than some hypothetical "true" rate of autism that includes undiagnosed and subclinical cases. Ten IQ points can be the difference between otherwise-identical autistics barely passing a class versus failing it and getting referred to a psychologist. Or after getting referred, the difference between qualifying for a diagnosis or not.

The latter actually happened to me personally in elementary school: I had held my pen funny in a way that made my hand hurt after a while, and my teacher referred me for refusing to complete a handwritten class assignment. They did a test on various types of school subjects, and I ranked a bit above grade level in some and far above grade level on others. If I was a grade lower in each subject and thus had below grade level scores, I'd've gotten an official diagnosis of some kind of subject-specific learning disability. But instead, there wasn't enough of a problem to need to do stuff, and doing stuff costs money, so they basically shrugged their shoulders and sent me on my way.
Question from someone that's not familiar with law, or I guess specifically antitrust (anti-monopoly?) law.

How are these acquisitions not in violation of these laws. Especially from the Big Tech Cos that slurp up literally any small competitor.

From the article:

"DoorDash's acquisition of Caviar creates a highly differentiated company with a unique brand and wide-ranging selection."

How is this not a play at eliminating competition?

I doubt that a revolution in the USA would go so well considering the military hardware that some state police departments have.

Even, a political grass roots revolution would be unsuccessful as many people are resistant to change and would not back it.

Incrementalism is the best approach as it slowly changes people and doesn't get their defenses up from the get go.

It's a bit different. Also, no capital gains tax.
Why though? It will lead to much more pain for those who cannot control their spending, will provide little to none (companies as masters in tax evasion) to fund society and otherwise have zero difference to A. It's a net loss compared to A, but "the state isn't involved" makes it good?

Zed's Learn Python the Hard Way. https://learncodethehardway.org/python/

It wasn't what I used to first learn (Larry Ullman's first PHP5 & MySQL book which I still have, with a spine held together by duct-tape) but it showed me a simple method to help absolute beginners (and helped me realize my ideas on teaching concepts in an unorthodox manner don't work at all for that target group) and to refer to acquaintances whose intro programming course professors were failing them in acquiring understanding.
The price seems high for something Square presumably needed to unload. Who else would have been bidding it up? And why are food delivery businesses still in a bubble?

That's not a slam on businesses in a bubble phase, either. Many industries go through one before settling into a steady, sustainable state. Just surprised that delivery is still in one, while related industries, like ride-share are cooling off.
If it can be contained that easily it is 'Safe', not 'Keter'.
Right, so then we'll just have balanced power between everyone who can afford the AWS or other compute service bill do to the facial recognition matches against all those millions (and later, hundreds of millions, then billions) of records. That'll be...

Oh. Hm.

Maybe "privacy for everyone" is a better point to aim for.

The alternative seems to be no privacy as a baseline and then still results in an everybody-loses arms race to top it off.

Hence you should plan _before_ having a kid. Invest 2k a year for 10 years and you'll have 25k+ to handle child care (or taking time off to actually take care of the little human you brought in this world). As for child care, health care, retirement and school I'm genuinely sorry for you but you're paying the price of america's vision of capitalism.

Listening to you two we're miserable anyway, at least now you have some money. But seriously, how did people live before the 80s without all these form of entertainment and useless gadgets ?
Reminded of a time I took the code of our Data Scientists (2 physicists that "coded". They decided to make their own ORM in Ruby (called "Mondongo") instead of using one available. No wonder, the code was a real mess...

For example, they needed to get a numeric value from a dropdown box that got several text options. The way they did it was:

fieldVal = textField.gsub('text string 1',0).gsub('another string 2',1).gsub('anotherstring3',3).....

and so on with all the options. And in theory they looked for a 0, 1, 2... etc.

Another WTF was that, when we told them we would be upgrading from Ruby 1.8 to 2.0, they told us that they were not sure, because 2.0 did not work that well... As it happens, at some point in the code they were using the .object_id property of a boolean value and testing it == 2 or 0. Well... ruby 2.0 made true.object_id == 20 , so things did not work as expected.

Health Insurance is the only thing that makes me feel like my employer has "leverage" over me.

That is such a back-breaking expense when your employer is not footing most of the bill that basically all of my other expenses are insignificant by comparison.

Thankfully, I think we're finally nearing critical mass of people who realize health insurance in the US is completely fucked, that something has to change before long (a decade maybe?).

> Google would only benefit from ad/tracker blockers going away.

In the long run, this might sadly be true, but I disagree for now. No way Google is doing this because of the goodness of their hearts.

They do it because they haven't completely squeezed out all competitors yet.

Removing or utterly crippling addons now would force users to realize what Chrome is while there still are options, meaning a huge chunk of the users would go to other browsers.

Look to Chrome mobile, the one that they can force ram down the throat of > 50% of mobile users. Chrome mobile doesn't have addons because it doesn't compete.

Sorry to all Googlers here for being so blunt, and feel free to point out one or more examples from the last few years where Google has prioritized their users above quarterly / yearly profits.

I used to be a huge fan but Google has massively disappointed me over the last 5-10 years.
