As others have mentioned, your American passport does provide you with services. But if you truly believe it's worthless, why maintain citizenship? To save the fee to renounce citizenship, even though it will save potentially tens of thousands of dollars annually? Doesn't make sense to me.

What 8 years of side projects has taught me
* Bouldering: Could be generalized as "a sport that fits you". Bouldering changed my life, as it is the perfect balance to a desk job. I met a lot of great people, improved my self confidence and am much healthier now.

* The power of routine: I never liked routine and thought it stifles creativity. In some ways it actually might, but creaitivity without productivity isn't worth that much.

* To not take myself so seriously: Life is so much easier and more fun if you can laugh about yourself, if you don't try to uphold a self-imposed picture towards others, and if you can accept that sometimes things go wrong, and sometimes it's your fault. - Not only am I happier now, I think it also made me a better person.
Physicists finally nail the proton’s size, eliminating an anomaly
It's interesting to think about where capital goes as global financial centers have turmoil. It's unclear to me whether hong kong or London has larger head winds in dealing with their instability in the next few years: HK seems to be likely to come to a clear resolution with respect to china quite quickly, but the relationship between London and the EU are likely to be in turmoil for quite some time.

I don't have a lot of cash savings, I'm generally quite LONG on smallholder African farmers, but I think if I was going to put money anywhere right now it would be into a mixture of the Nikkei, FTSE (singapore), Dubai, and KOSPI (korea) indexes. I think all of Japan's problems are understood and priced in. Japan and Korea have the advantage of both tending towards matrix organizations (Toyota and Nissan are both unusually resilient to tariffs) and Singapore and Dubai have the advantage of being financial hubs with nothing going on.
I had to think about this for a while to come up with a reasonable response. What you're saying seems a bit problematic to me.

The most obvious criticism that stands out to me is that when a control group is possible, that's where your null hypothesis should come from. But in the contrived coin-flipping example, there isn't a natural control, and in practice, many times control groups aren't available. So I don't know if that criticism actually applies to this situation.

The next thought I have is that if your goal is to determine significance (which should be the goal), rather than to find a significant result (which should not be the goal), using the same alternative and null hypotheses makes the math for aggregating the results easier. The power of replication is that it's multiplicative: you can get an aggregate P by multiplying the P values of aggregate studies. This means a P=.2 study can become significant if it's replicated (P=.2.2=.04), while a P=.03125 study can become lose significance with just one failure to reproduce (aggregating Robert and Sally's results, P=.03125.3125^-1=.1). I guess swapping the null and alternative hypotheses is a viable strategy for bringing attention to failures to replicate and it's not mathematically invalid, but that seems like changing your hypothesis to fix a problem with the academic publisher, and it complicates aggregating the P-values of replication studies.

Finally, it feels weird to me to use Robert's hypothesis as your null hypothesis. When Robert performed his experiment, his hypothesis was a stab in the dark due to a lack of pre-existing data (since he ostensibly didn't know about the other coin flipping experiments). But when attempting to reproduce a result, you have data, so it makes more sense to base your null hypothesis off the results of the previous experiment, not off the hypothesis of the previous experiment. As such, since Robert had 5 heads, the hypothesis would be that the probability of getting tails on a single coin flip is P=0, which gives Sally a VERY significant result. The numbers are weird because the experiment is contrived, but I think the general concept holds.

>Here we tested whether skeletal structures provide an important source of information for object recognition when compared with other models of vision. Our results showed that a model of skeletal similarity was most predictive of human object judgments when contrasted with models based on image-statistics or neural networks, as well as another model of structure based on coarse spatial relations. Moreover, we found that skeletal structures were a privileged source of information when compared to other properties thought to be important for shape perception, such as object contours and component parts. Thus, our results suggest that not only does the visual system show sensitivity to the skeletal structure of objects32,36,37, but also that perception and comparison of object skeletons may be crucial for successful object recognition.

The main difference is one of rhetoric: Copenhagen insists that experiments have single outcomes. MWI insists that experiments have multiple outcomes in point of metaphysical fact.

Another difference is that the MWI has to explain the Born rule (which is problematic), whereas Copenhagen simply takes it as an axiom.

I consider myself to have been "tricked by business" (as Macklemore would put it) when I bought a Tesla Model X in 2016. It replaced a 2014 LEAF, and I can honestly say that I regretted it and wished I had kept the LEAF. The difference in cost didn't make up for the difference in overall driving experience and utility for me. I've since traded in the Tesla for cheaper PHEV, and I'm much happier with that now.

I also am still using a Pixel 2. Nothing about anything else on the market today seems compelling enough to convince me to replace it. So I guess I'm joining a chorus on this thread.
They've also had these weird devices called 'telephones' for a while now, seems you can accomplish a similar feat. (Also, do people really need to say goodbye to their loved ones randomly in the middle of the day on their watch?)

I was there about a year ago. I'm still working on it, but things are improved. The last hours of sleep are heavy on REM sleep, and I tend to get a bit restless during this time.

I'm convinced at this point that attempt to combine PM planning & projections, IC planning, tracking for management, bugtracking, et c., all under the same roof, are doomed. I think some of those things cannot co-exist with the others without harming them, sometimes mutually.

Graeber calls out one particular cause of his "bullshit jobs" from the book of that title as excessive, misguided, and ultimately counter-productive attempts at highly detailed & granular computer tracking (complete with, necessarily, more rigid and complex processes). I think Jira & friends are entirely part of that effort-wasting, actual-work-harming trap. They let you see when a project has gone sideways but it's hard to tell that your project management software is part of why it went sideways and also part of why it took you longer to figure that out.

This. These sites don't use infinite scrolling because it is a great user experience they do it to keep people on their site. They do it to keep people engaged. The addiction.

Or you could learn how to build REST-ful web interfaces correctly, in which case the problem goes away.

The only #SeparationOfConcerns that actually matters is:

1. Verbs describe actions upon resources (e.g. add, read, delete)

2. URIs identify individual resources you may wish to act upon

3. Content Types (and content negotiation) determine how a particular resource’s information will be encoded for transfer between client and server.

For instance, if a client has the following URI that points to a “person” resource:

example.org/persons/12345

and the public documentation states that a person’s information can be represented in any of these formats:

- "text/html" (a standard human-readable webpage)
- "application/org.example.person+json" (JSON-encoded machine-readable data) - "application/org.example.person+xml" (XML-encoded machine-readable data)

then the client can GET the resource’s data in one of three different formats, according to preference and/or need; e.g. standard web browser, custom smartphone app, Traditional Enterprise Application.
If using multiple converging lasers, the antenna need not be connected to the equipment. Two lasers could ionize the air in a line 2500m long, and a third could excite the center of it in a modulated fashion. That would be transmit only, unless you had some way to measure the energy levels at that center point from a distance.

It would be unlikely to glow brightly enough in the visual spectrum to see in the daytime, but it would be pretty cool at night.

> HK seems to be likely to come to a clear resolution with respect to china quite quickly

I'm confused by this theory; the only clear resolution I see China accepting would be a very bad one for HK, which doesn't seem like a positive long-term situation for their status as a financial center.
Hello. Human who did this.

This advice is extremely glib and more of a headache than you're is making it out to be. Sure, there's techniques for deal with this shit. It doesn't change the fact that that it's still a giant pile of shit to deal with, and it would just be much better if we as a collective society didn't allow one medical emergency to cause problems for you of this magnitude.

Also, if you're trying to be your own business and your credit is ruined, what do you think happens to that business? My guess? OP was right, and he has to end it all.
Facebook's feed is horrible. People are lost all the time with it, and it's a huge impediment for the site to be used for anything remotely serious. Ditto for Instagram, but expectations here are more aligned with nothing serious ever getting on the site.

Twitter would be better without infinite scrolling, but nobody ever cares about messages down the line, so it's not that bad. I have never noticed that Reddit does it. Is it on the new design only? This may be one of the reasons people do not use the new design.

Is it so crazy to believe there are ways to make healthcare better through the free market?

US Healthcare as it stands is a non-free market run by private entities. It isn't immediately obvious that a non-free market run by the government is the way to go. It might be possible to get the best of both worlds by going to a free market run by private entities. The potential to have low costs and the economic edge from low taxes is surely quite enticing.
If Guardian has been compromised by anything it's surely by editors that are trying to turn in to a social justice organisation.

Number of pages mentioning "white men" as indexed by Google:

Guardian: 7840 / 3,680,000 (0.21%)
BBC: 623 / 4,720,000 (0.01%)

Some headlines of the Guardian that come to mind are "All landlords are scum" and "Maybe white men should just disappear for a while". In the case of the latter it was an interview with the USA's female national soccer captain and that line was something she just joked at the very end and the editor decided to make that the title of the article (if I'd have been her I'd have been furious).

Another rage inducing article was one that nailed David Attenborough to the cross for daring to suggest climate change activism could benefit from separating it from left/right politics.

This is all not directly related to politics, but it's pretty telling. The website / usability is great but the spin they (are pressured to?) put on the content is nauseating.
> Also, to get technical for a moment, the p-value is not the “probability of happening by chance.”

Is it not? According to Wikipedia, it's "[...] the probability that, when the null hypothesis is true, the statistical summary [...] would be equal to, or more extreme than, the actual observed results." This sounds pretty much like "probability of happening by chance".
And Brexit driven weakness in the pound makes it a great time to invest.

I’ve only had smartphones since 2012, but it’s definitely the heaviest phone I’ve owned and my wrist also occasionally hurts after using it. Older phones probably weren’t used as much as we use then today either.

Galaxy S5: 145g

Samsung Galaxy S7 edge: 157g

I’m happy with the screen size vs the phone size on the XS, but I didn’t realize I wanted something lighter too. This phone is way too heavy. The new iPhone 11 Pro is 188g. Hopefully next time around they make something lighter.

I'm certainly not comfortable with the ACA. I'm old enough to remember what health insurance was like before Obama came along. The sudden and dramatic increase in premiums, deductibles, and co-insurance was effectively a massive pay cut for the entire American middle class.
