working out the premise, assuming these probabilities are uniform over 10 uses of the tool:

1 a. reduces time by 2 * 10 = 20 hours

1 b. reduces time by 5 * 5 + 5 * 0 = 25 hours

2 b. reduces time by 4 * 7 + (-1 * 3) = 25 hours

3 b. reduces time by 6 * 9 + (-4 * 1) = 50 hours
My favorite quote:

"The social contract is not a buffet—if you opt out because you want absolute freedom, you have to accept that no one will come to save your ass when trouble starts."

Switching extra patients to a new drug would make the trial more conservative though... so perhaps don’t worry so much.

In general it’s worth remembering that RCTs are estimating the effect of an intention to treat ( the randomisation) not the treatment itself.
Indeed.

At least in the examples in Wikipedia, the punishments seem to focus more on making the defendant feel bad (in a hopefully educational way, not merely suffering), which is less good than making some form of reparation or restoration. The legal system already has a notion of community service as an alternative to jail; there is a lot of room for community service that uplifts victims while educating perpetrators.

For example, a nanny who hit a child could be sentenced to XX hours of sewing blankets for children in hospitals and orphanages.

If one wishes to price like that, they do it from the start. We have more than enough history to show that you don't offer customers something for one price scheme and then change it in the middle to get even more money out of them. It doesn't work and only causes problems.
Perhaps this isn't "Tech Debt" at all. Perhaps this is a long understood, well-known activity called Prototyping or Learning. Perhaps the concept of "Tech Debt" is just fuzzy thinking.
I find it interesting that Elsevier gets blamed, when authors could simply publish in alternative journals.

Why don’t they? Because their career is dependent on high impact journals because their bosses don’t care about lesser publications.

This problem could be readily solved if they turned their anger against the school administration for pretty much forcing authors to publish in Elsevier journals.
Or actually go off the beaten trail instead of just saying you'd like to. I travel quite frequently, and without crowds of tourists.

For example, Yosemite. It is possible to go there and go on a ten mile hike without seeing a single other person. In high season. Do you really want to go to half dome?
I really don't know what you did or ask for, but Linux distributions are not magically safe. There are frequently vulnerabilities and zero days for certain software for this platform, I guess even for the (name giving) kernel. There are many guides how to harden your installation, and I would say the way to do so is more transparent then in other operating systems.

If you open video files or open PDF files with common viewers, the same applies. Last week there was a big discussion about the safety of VLC, a popular video player also available for Linux (but typically not the default one in popular distros).

Stay safe.
Hi, for this site, I’m using AWS Amplify and its console for authentication, API, and deploy. Amplify is still new and sometimes confusing but great experience overall. I learned Appsync, DynamoDB, Cognito, and other AWS stuff while building this. Structuring DynamoDB table was especially hard because I sticked to only one table and the site became simple as a result. Frontend is Nuxt SPA mode and Bulma for styling. By the way, now I’m on day 3 for a 10 day water fasting.
If you look at georeference systems, they may fit a parametric equation with coefficients to a large set of earth data. The geoid in the link below is a refinement over an ellisoid (think lumpy potato vs smooth pebble), that gives you a 3D fit that has some level of accuracy with a very compact equation compared to carrying around the raw data. I'm thinking a supercomputer might be pretty useful to do the fit of data as it's updated, as well as giving options of using equations with different costs-to-fit on large data sets, or providing better fits on finer granularity.

How to Understand the IPCC’s New Climate Warning
You could just as easily argue it the other way and that the problem in this story is that society wants to retroactively enforce the "social contract" after he solved his problems on his terms. Yeah, you shouldn't murder people but if someone credibly threatens your life multiple times and "society" is no help "society" doesn't get to complain that they were facing the wrong way when you shot them.

Edit: Since apparently I'm so wrong does anyone care to explain why?
>I still find the fact that Exxon internal researchers knew about the incoming crisis since 1982.

I'll keep posting about it untill this hysteria dies, though I fear that given social pressures regarding anything representing "denial" will keep it alive indefinitely. No one knew about an incoming crisis in the 80s. People were aware about the possibility of climate change in the 80s. It took 30 years of data collection, research, and computational modeling on increasingly modern hardware, which allows for exponentially larger and more precise models, before we had amassed enough evidence in a totally model driven field to conclude that we may be terraforming on the scale of 100 years.
Corporations like Exxon aren't rational, they only exist to make more money, so that's what they did.
Ask HN: Nuclear Cruise Missile Fuel
The recent civilian video showing the very large shock wave from the recent Russian offshore military explosion, as evidenced by condensation behind the shock wave front, indicates either a low-power nuclear detonation or massive chemical explosion. Since the fission reaction rate for normal density plutonium is too low to achieve nuclear explosive yield, plutonium must be imploded to give sufficient density for nuclear detonation. Presumably the nuclear cruise missile motors would not have been built with implosive shells of high explosives, which seems to indicate that the nuclear motor fuel was uranium-235. Does this reasoning seem correct?
‘Well this article doesn't seem very good. Not least because the author seems perfectly willing to not actually explain the detail, and then jump to conclusions .. some customers buy "on-premises licenses" without mobility rights, and MSFT used to let them use those licenses on outsourced hardware’

Seems perfectly clear to me:

“Microsoft has introduced a preview of Azure Dedicated Host, which provides a physical server hosted on Azure and not shared with other customers.”, ref

Microsoft has introduced it's own dedicated hardware.

“Alongside this new service, the company has made licensing changes that will make Microsoft software more expensive for some customers of AWS, Google and Alibaba.”, ref

And made it more expensive for “running Windows Server on any cloud that isn’t Azure”.

I think this illustrates quite clearly why "toxic masculinity", even when applied in a well-intentioned manner, is such a problematic term. Because the main part of the problem you're trying to describe (at least in your case) is in fact located _outside_ of the persons that appear to be described by the term.

I.e. is it the state of acting assertive, confident and not showing weakness, uncertainty or sorrow that is toxic masculinity? Because many do it mostly because they otherwise (legitimately) fear to be rejected or judged by others for it, often by heterosexual women. But the term sounds like it's a judgement on the man holding these traits, perhaps destructively. Not the world around them that expects or demands this behavior.

(Not to mention that it's very easy to conflate some of these traits with personality traits that most would consider to be good or at the very least empirically useful, regardless of gender. E.g. confidence, non-agreeableness, the ability to think on your feet and look after your own interests in a negotiation, physical strength and so on).

Wouldn't "destructive gendered behavior expectations" or something like that be both more accurate, useful and palatable?

Hunger has become far less of a problem in the 21st century than it has ever been before, at any point in human history. And population growth is leveling off - the global population has quadrupled in the last century, but will probably level off about 50% higher than today in the next 50-100 years.

So you're postulating that hunger will get much worse than it is today, without really tremendous population growth, and with significant technological opportunity available in terms of applied computation/robotics and genetic engineering. This seems like an emotional argument, not a scientific one.

I never know how seriously to take Maslow. It resonates intuitively for some people I guess. But he just made the theory up. There's not a lot of scientific evidence to support it.

"In their extensive review of research based on Maslow's theory, Wahba and Bridwell found little evidence for the ranking of needs that Maslow described or for the existence of a definite hierarchy at all"

The day we ordered our Tesla, my wife and I (without kids) stopped at a truck stop on the way to the Tesla store that we end up stopping at on most of our trips out of town.

We did the following:
a. Fueled up the car from about half a tank to full
b. Used the restroom.
c. Bought two fountain sodas

We timed the stop from when we parked to when we got back in the car. It was fifteen minutes. I would expect that any family that stops at that stop is there at least that long, if not longer.
---

Going back to in-town charging though.. You need to realize that all you need for a charging station is a parking lot, and you can leave the car while it charges. Put DC fast chargers in a grocery store parking lot, and people can charge while they do their weekly shopping. I doubt anyone with young kids is spending less than 30 minutes at the grocery store each week.

So instead of getting a coffee or reading a book, they can go buy cereal and frozen chicken nuggets.
They did act. IIRC they started sponsoring anti climate change material producing organizations and supporting its dissemination. A wildly succesful project that has probably paid itself back with a large factor.
You'd essentially be DDoSed. The internet wouldn't work, and your firewall logs would show that you're being flooded with inbound traffic. The firewall would probably be dropping the unsolicited inbound traffic, so internally you shouldn't see any impact.

Unless as part of the misconfiguration that caused this, the firewall also thinks it knows how to route traffic to the affected prefixes, in which case it would be accepting the traffic and routing it, in which case segments of the internal LANs could be flooded too.

>That it is due to a vocal minority doesn't mean it is due to this vocal minority. Not all vocal minorities are equal, and nor should all vocal minorities be treated alike.

This is obvious and should go without saying. The parent comment gave an example of a positive consequence of an instance of this so-called "vocal minority", since the grandparent comment left no room for any positive angle on this.

I'm seriously confused how this translates into treating all "vocal-minorities" equally or that they all result in a positive.

An online community is notoriously difficult to get off the ground unless you've already got a built-in audience that's waiting for it. I'd focus your efforts initially on outreach and engagement, and keeping the features of the site as simple as possible until people are clamoring for them.

On another note, a number of commenters have remarked on the language issue. Much respect to you for building a site in a language that's not your native tongue, that's a lot of work! That said, just like I'd advise someone to work with a professional designer if they needed it, or a skilled coder, I'd advise you to have a professional writer create the copy on the site. Community is all about communication, and if you're going for an English-speaking audience, even the smallest nuance can have a big impact.

Good luck, looks like you've got a real passion for this.

On the flip side, try being a minority in, say, the USA in 1950.

The opposite of tyranny is not democracy. That's why the US Constitution has a Bill of Rights (which, despite its efforts, was still a massive failure for millions of Americans for over century).

It very much depends on one's point of view, if you happen to be the right type of citizen to fall on the right sight of democratic rule.
> And the later are, as close as possible, focused on repairing the problem, not punishing.

The IPCC was formed in 1988 and published their first report two years later where they already concluded that anthropogenic climate change is happening.
