I think the problem with p-values is that it trains us to think about uncertainty without nuance. It hides the inherent trade off between the cost of taking on risk and the cost of reducing uncertainty, since it sets the threshold at p=0.05. Taken to the extreme, with a large enough sample we can nearly always find significant differences between populations, the difference will just be very small and n size will be enormous.

Recently I worked with a client to interpret results from an A/B test where A performed better than B with 85% confidence (based on credible intervals, accounting for multiple comparisons). We therefore recommended A. In a group phone call, the client told her colleagues that our company doesn't know what we're talking about because 85% confidence of a difference isn't statistically significant (i.e. isn't 95% confident). We lost their business.

This was a shame because gathering the data for the experiment was expensive and the downside of making the wrong choice was low. It is often the case that taking on more risk makes more sense than hitting diminishing returns on shrinking p-values with extra sample.

I survived with a $20 premium stash bundle for most of my over a thousand hours in the game, and there have been leagues where the first player to reach max level has done it with just the basic storage. I can agree that they've added a lot of stackable items, and the 4 tabs may not be enough for serious players, but at that point $20 gets you most, if not all, the way to being fine.
You can renounce citizenship. There is a large multithousands dollar "fee" to do so. And if they find out you did so to avoid paying taxes (ex. renouncing citizenship and then turn around to cash out some Bitcoin) they can still go after you for taxes.

Most citizens never hit the threshold to actually pay except if you file from a known tax haven. Income up to $115k is untaxed and any other taxes you do pay are deductible.
Exactly. "Things I own alone" are no good as passwords, if they cannot be changed. They are account identifiers only.

And if a password has sufficient entropy (not likely to ever be duplicated) then the account identifier is pointless. Just use the password as sufficient authentication.
I think the answer may be "yes" effectively if it leads to establishing companies of contractors but not without side effects in themselves - like most regulations really.

If gig economies lead to working with companies instead of individuals that would lead to two distinct branches.
* A self established one would give more regulatory surface for things like training and background check requirements. Not as easy to sign up before any added regulations. Constituents would get more of a pure cut. The barriers to entry would make their labor slightly more valuable.
* A traditional company which hires employees. They would have a middleman to make signing up easier but likely less flexibility - which doesn't matter as much to fulltimers anyway.

It likely result in a less flexible market with more barriers to entry but it would solve some problems and act as a framework to add more solutions and problems for better or worse. It could be abused to create cartels again or responsibly handle externalities without unduly privileging - it depends on how the tool is used.

Second order effects are likely a labor pool that cannot rise and fall as quickly which would stabilize prices for the labor supply and turn instability into a company liability as they may be left with a choice of paying for idle labor for availability and meeting demand for sure or risking being unable to fulfill demand.

That said I wouldn't be surprised if widespread roll out of these sorts of laws caused a gig economy bubble to burst - especially given how many are doing a VC dumping strategy of losing money on transactions.

I don't really have strong feelings as to what would be the best nor consider myself above an amateur commentator.

I think the point here is that Rails is a very productive platform for building CRUD workflows - much more so than, for example, Go (perhaps less so for Phoenix/Elixir). So you can build the vanilla CRUD screens in Rails in minimum time (and therefore minimum cost), where performance is not going to make much of a difference either way, then use Go microservices for those parts of your platform where performance is essential. So use each tool where it is best suited for the job - Rails for productivity and Go for performance.
No single thing that a single individual does will have much of an effect on climate change.

The point is that a lot of people have to do a combination of things.

The article states that:

> First, he points out that calculations, for the most part, ignore 80 percent of greenhouse emissions that we each contribute to the atmosphere from transportation, heating, lighting, and manufacturing.

So cut those as well. I may have missed something, but I didn't see anywhere above that said what those "ignorant" calculations concluded.

> becoming a vegetarian would cut the average person's greenhouse emissions by about 2 percent.

It then goes on to compare this to spending $3 per year on cap-and-trade allowances.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Offset are not XOR.

The conclusion is that you can cut your footprint by 4% by going vegetarian AND spending $3 per year on cap-and-trade allowances.

Where I live the gig works make about or a little less than the minimum wage after expenses for vehicles. This doesn't include saving for retirement, healthcare, workmans comp, disability insurance, or a bunch of other things.

Basically, even if healthcare were taken care of the amount they make would not be a living wage.
Yeah, I've tried a few and after a while they feel like they're mainly aimed at returning players - you get pummeled by notifications, events, login bonuses, all kinds of terms that as a new player you're not yet familiar with. But that's the new player experience which they can just optimize if they choose to do so.
It is a dishonest way of representing it IMO.

The headline suggests meat production is not a significant emission source, but it actually argues that it has around the same emissions of the average bought goods of a particular society. Then saying it therefore does not matter is quite the stretch.

Here's the abstract from the paper:

Sustainable diets, in particular vegetarianism, are often promoted as effective measures to reduce our environmental
footprint. Yet, fewconclusions take full-scale behavioral changes into consideration. This can be achieved
by calculating the indirect environmental rebound effect related to the re-spending of expenditure saved during
the initial behavioral shift. This study aims to quantify the potential energy use and greenhouse gas emission savings,
and most likely rebound effects, related to an average Swedish consumer's shift to vegetarianism. Using
household budget survey data, it estimates Engel curves of 117 consumption goods, derives marginal expenditure
shares, and links these values to environmental intensity indicators. Results indicate that switching to vegetarianism
could save consumers 16% of the energy use and 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions related to their
dietary consumption. However, if they re-spend the saved income according to their current preferences, they
would forego 96% of potential energy savings and 49% of greenhouse gas emission savings. These rebound effects
are even higher for lower-income consumers who tend to re-spend on more environmentally intensive goods.
Yet, the adverse effect could be tempered by purchasing organic goods or re-spending the money on services.
In order to reduce the environmental impact of consumption, it could thus be recommended to not only focus
on dietary shifts, but rather on the full range of consumer expenditure.

I'd argue that eating vegetarian isn't really that much cheaper in the first place.

In the paper, there's also section 4.6.2.1 about organic food consumption:

If a vegetarian diet is chosen for its
environmental value, it is possible that consumers will simultaneously
choose organic instead of conventional products for their perceived improved
impact on the environment. Organic products however are often
associated with a price premium, which can fundamentally change the
conclusions on re-spending and environmental impacts occurred.

and a few paragraphs later:

"Therefore, not only would we
avoid any rebound behavior, we find virtuous cycle effects in
that consumers will save 111% of both the potential energy and
the potential greenhouse gas emission savings thatwere predicted
from only foregoing meat alone."

So, if you go vegetarian, go organic while you're at it!

The previous UK law, RIPA, was abused for investigating minor crimes such as fraudulently obtaining disabled parking badges. It's not just about national governments but local municipal authorities too. Yes I would prefer another jurisdiction but it's way better than the status quo whereby the browsing history is just handed over.
> He never had to pay a single bit of tax. I know a few people in Europe with higher salaries and they have never paid a cent either.

He didn't say pay taxes; he said file taxes. Every year I have to tell the US government how much I made, and then explain why I don't owe them any money (i.e., already paid tax on it to the UK). It's a stressful hassle even if you don't end up owing anything.

>They aren't in preventive prison due to their political ideas but they're being accused of committing very specific and serious crimes, like rebellion, sedition, and embezzlement.

Well, rebellion and sedition _are_ political ideas. Political ideas are not just "more taxes/less taxes", or "healthcare for all/private healthcare" and other regular everyday party differences.

And of course, the kind of political ideas political prisoners all over the world get in jail for in regimes that stifle political expression are more often than not branded "rebellion", "sedition", by those putting them there...

>The whole trial has been live streamed.

Well, the Moscow trials of Stalin were well reported to the masses as well. That's neither here, nor there.

>About your second question, making threats, insulting the Crown, and glorification of terrorism is not just 'singing about the king'.

Sure. But wanting the king dethroned (if not beheaded, for effect) is a totally legit political idea, that was part of most countries progressing to real civic democracy, and people and politicians should be able to express it. In a modern democracy, if it must have some relic of feudal times in the form of a decorative king, said king shouldn't still be anything sacred.

"and glorification of terrorism" there's no shortage of regimes that labeled anything they didn't like "terrorism".

Heck, the British would also be offended by Americans in the colonies "insulting and threatening the King" and called their fighting terrorism, so there's that.

Just because a regime exists, doesn't mean protecting it is just or should continue to exist.

When people are polled about “private insurance” I don’t think they’re thinking about private insurance for elective procedures. I think the point shows that the large majority of people want, at most, a public option as an alternative to their existing private insurance. And that solution is unlikely to have much impact on costs.

At the end of the day, the thing that came out of the political process (ACA plus Medicaid expansion) is probably the closest thing that has been proposed to what people are actually comfortable with.
This is a complete and absolute hack and I love it. When reading the README file of their github it is possible to see how "impure" pragmatic decisions were made like for loops and not supporting proper recursion. I wish there would be more projects like this one porting lisp runtimes to more and more hardware.

In the other hand the racket lisp behind the scenes _generates_ the assembly code based on some of the scheme primitives rather than porting its whole Racket runtime there, which in spite of not being the same as running a lisp in the NES hardware is still impressive.

Demonstrating that passwords are also a poor factor doesn't make using SMS as an additional factor a "bad idea". A physical cell phone is also something that is loosely associated with you, transferable and vulnerable to social engineering attacks.

It turns out there are no really good ways to authenticate individuals at scale. The answer is not to deride and blacklist arbitrary bad options from the pool, but to add even more factors so that their differing contexts present a more formidable holistic challenge.

Obviously, as GP points out, supporting multiple factors but allowing any one of them to be used in isolation is just building a chain with a weakest link. Better to build a chain-link fence.
Yeah, it is a bit annoying, and I can imagine it is beyond a bit annoying if you are making income somewhere that doesn't have a treaty with the U.S.

I thankfully don't get double-taxed here in Canada, but I'm pretty sure it's possible to have a marginal tax rate greater than 100% between U.S. Federal income taxes and some other systems.
Marginally? Beef, for example, takes many times the amount of energy and water to produce equivalent calories to vegan foods. Based on any measure, beef is significantly more expensive than vegan food sources, “marginally” is far from an accurate comparison.
It's significantly better actually - gets around DNS blocking put in place by malicious ISPs and governments.
That's not true. Several other countries require that their citizens file annual tax returns, and tax them on their worldwide income.

Why is it ridiculous?

Silicon Valley is a bubble waiting to burst. You have to get massive loans from "angels", a staff of leadership ready to pocket a sizable chuck of that with stock options, and finally an enthusiastic mob of people willing to work 40-80 hour weeks only to have more fodder to add to their resume.

I suppose that exploiting a massive underclass has always been sustainable, but once transparency blows wide open it's hard to say what will transpire from there.
That's only the third and weakest of Lomborg's points. The others are:

1. Food makes up only 20% of an average person's greenhouse emissions, and probably less if you're living a jetsetting Silicon Valley lifestyle of air-conditioned spaces and lengthy commutes.

2. The original calculation assumes you'll go 100% vegan, not just vegetarian, which for most people is a step too far.

Even excluding the third argument, Lomborg notes that you're looking at a 4.3% reduction at best.

Bingo. Not much gain to be had here when you look at the actual sources of emissions by category. Tackling electricity production and transportation should be #1 and #2, since they are (more) easily influenced by the state and could be brought down to near-zero emissions within, say, 25 years. Railing at people to stop eating meat because “it’s causing global warming” is at best ineffective and at worst disingenuous.

Ah yes. Americans are just dumb and easily duped. (Meanwhile, rich people and “corporates” are unable to dupe people in Europe, because reasons.) It has nothing to do with the fact that they live in houses twice as big as those in France, can drive around large SUVs, and have $15,000+ more per year in disposable income at the median than the French. Nothing to do with that at all.

There are also yogis who claim they can levitate, read minds, or bring dead babies back to life.

You don't need to be a yogi to do those things. There are men and women (even kids and teenagers) who can read your mind like a page. Advanced ones can know what you're thinking before you're even aware of what that thought is. And they don't even have to be looking at you. It's 360 degree vision. Distance is no barrier. People who can read minds know to respect your space, because they know it's against spiritual law to violate your psychic space.

People who have developed the ability to bring the dead back to life will not do it, because they know there's a reason why somebody had to die. Why mess with the cycle of life?
Pretty much any place you build in Europe, you would have to disturb a historical site. We can abandon the earth to its past, or move on. As population grows, we don't have much choice?

One area of change in one's lifestyle was never going to move the needle significantly. Reducing consumption is the real message- buy things that last, walk or bike, avoid air travel, turn off the AC, etc. Lomborg is right though that the savings on buying meat would likely be spent on other things, which is exactly why we need a carbon tax proportional to the emissions created to manufacture them.

> examples such as a merger between local groceries being denied as one of many great examples of antitrust law getting in the way of healthy competition instead of promoting it.

Maybe I need to read the book but I don't see it. Consolidation of supermarkets has clearly reduced competition in the US. A small handful of companies have cornered the market because the US government stopped using antitrust laws liberally.

I'm not sure what popularity has to do at all with economic issues.
The rust compiler also removes bounds checks and such if it can statically prove that they won't occur. You don't have as much tooling to communicate it to the compiler as you do in SPARK just yet.

When I learned Ada (blog post somewhere in this thread) I was pretty shocked by how many more runtime checks it had than Rust does, overall. Rust usually checks things at compile time.
What the US really needs is more than two options. The problem is that the first-past-the-post district system ensures you can't really have more than two viable parties. A different electoral system would give voters more options.

Sadly, changing the electoral system has to be done by the parties that benefit from the current system, or the voters have to miraculously all decide to vote for the same third-party option.
Maybe one drawback is deeper sleep which makes it easier for predators to sneak up.

First of all, many more EU/EEA countries have comprehensive healthcare if not single-payer healthcare, so there is less of a divergence in policy in most places.

Secondly, EU freedom of movement isn't as strong. See Directive 2004/38/EC, such as the points reproduced below which AFAIK some countries already take advantage of:

"Union citizens should have the right of residence in the host Member State for a period not exceeding three months without being subject to any conditions or any formalities other than the requirement to hold a valid identity card or passport, without prejudice to a more favourable treatment applicable to job-seekers as recognised by the case-law of the Court of Justice."

"Persons exercising their right of residence should not, however, become an unreasonable burden on the social assistance system of the host Member State during an initial period of residence. Therefore, the right of residence for Union citizens and their family members for periods in excess of three months should be subject to conditions."
