The statistical analysis in this paper is really poor. Without the raw data I would say it is impossible to tell anything from this study.

> change in citations at 1 year (Tweeted +3.1±2.4 vs. Non-Tweeted +0.7±1.3,
p<0.001)

I don't know what that p<0.001 means in this context but there is certainly more than a 0.1% chance that the null hypothesis (the two distributions are the same) given those 95% confidence intervals.

The graphs that are used to illustrate the paper have completely different confidence intervals than the numbers in the paper and look too good to be true.

Given the average tweet was engaged with less than 16 times I really doubt that the effect size would be this big. This looks to me to be the case that a couple of good papers happened to be tweeted and that nothing statistically significant can be gleaned from this paper.

Having said that I am not a professional statistician so I would appreciate the input of someone more knowledgeable than myself.

> Not sure I'd agree.

Why? Income inequality is correlated with crime rate, why wouldn't you use that to find comparable countries? Seems useful to me, similarly to comparing diabetes rates in countries with similar levels of obesity, not based on average hair color or amount of trees per square mile.

> the richest nation on earth

You'll need to define what "richest" means, I guess. The highest GDP? Largest military spending? Does that mean a lot to somebody that is poor in the US? Would that person possibly be better off in a European country with public health insurance, a vast social safety net, high welfare etc, even though it's not "the richest country on earth" by your standards?
> The ones they checked with now have a clause that says they will not be responsible for any payout should the insured, at the time of buying, already knows or reasonably deduces that the flight can be delayed anytime.

Wait how is that the solution at all? That seems like might be a lot worse for everyone involved, including innocent insurers. I would expect them to somehow reduce the payout to only the cost of the flights or similar, resulting on a net neutral for the insured.

I use a custom prompt that indeed starts with a newline. I like that it gives better visual distinction between the output of commands and the prompt; it's also indeed a workaround for when commands don't put a newline at the end of their output.
She got greedy and got caught. I wonder how many more might be doing this.
I really think it is this simple. When any random person on the street can be concealing a firearm, it seems almost natural that police are going to develop a culture of adversity and fear. This of course leads to civilians having the same feelings towards the police.
Yes, but I'd compare it to - or even say that it is a form of - arbitrage.

The payouts on these flights should cause the insurance company - instead of adding terms clauses - to increase the price by recognising some of the same patterns she has, and thus reducing the difference in price (/value) between the 'markets'.
Why is the standard [PHP] session lifetime 24 minutes (1440 seconds)?
The problem was her access to privileged information about the flights. And, misleading multiple identities. If she'd stuck to hedging and sold a service she probably would have IPO'd by now.

The arbitrage function remains useful.
Creative Commons is based on copyright law. In some countries the rights regarding ones likeness are covered by separate laws and Creative Commons has no influence on that.

I suspect that even in the US there is more to it. For example, stock photo agencies treat copyright and model releases as separate things. For any non-editorial images that contain recognizable faces they are in my experience strict about about getting a proper model release.
I think the difference is mostly that a bookie might give you different odds for different flights. I assume the insurance costs the same, regardless of the current likelihood that a specific flight is going to be delayed.

Well, if I were to do something like this one of the first assumptions I would make is if I use the same identity for each refund they will soon catch on that I have gotten a lot of refunds and shut me down.
I don't know where to get last years data in such detail.

There are plenty of sites that count the number of killings, but this is one of the few that looks for unarmed ones. If you are aware of better or more recent stats (for example the source of this 47 number) I'd love a link.

> half of the cases sound like accidents, out of 104. The remaining is pretty close to 47.

I find it mind-boggling that killing 52 unarmed people by accident is somehow the best case scenario here.
Yeah, but technical obtuseness is intentional. First, to force users to click "accept all" and second to make users hate the law.

It could be more user friendly, but that is not desired political/economical result.
There are a ton of them. THey don't pay enough for people to take seriously though. Amazon does it way better right now.
imagine a program such as:

print("hello")
time.sleep(10)
print("goodbye")

If's impossible for the program to know which print is the last one, as the user may kill the program during the sleep. I guess in a parallel universe you could have print issue a newline first. Not sure I want to live in that universe.
This competition should not be about scraping and tagging skills (impressive as they may).

I thing it was Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 for MS-DOS.
It had syntax highlighting, integrated help with full language and API documentation. Which was useful because I didn't have Internet access back then, at the beginning of the 1990's.

I guess part of the reason people have insurance is to cover other losses, such as hotels and onward flights. Reducing to the cost of the flight might lose a lot of customers.
Confirm what security though? The only security property of a proof of work scheme is that a new N-proof cannot be created with less than N new (non-sharable) operations of a general-purpose computer, which is a vulnerablity that most current proof-of-work schemes already have in the form of specialized ASICs (hence TFA). RandomX may be even worse in this regard, but a significant amount of complexity is very much needful.

I guess that is true, Yi made the same argument about sending construction based equipment and the dilemma of having to make it more robust than necessary tolerances and specs thus increasing the weight of the payloads.

But SpaceX hasn't had a satellite failure to date, with the exception of the secret spy satellite that was 'lost,' or the facebook one that exploded on the launchpad (THANKS, ELON!).

I wonder what payloads specifically that would include?

Double insurance isn't necessarily illegal on its own, but some insurance companies will say it's a policy violation to do it. Claiming is another matter. Double dipping car insurance is definitely illegal in the US.

That said, in principle it's analogous to placing two bets from different bookies. Most of the time if you double insured, you'd just lose twice as much money. You'd probably need to look into exactly what constitutes insurance fraud. In this case it's probably fine, because the event actually happened and she was entitled to claim.

The identity fraud bit is really the problem here though.
very insightful, thanks for answering all my questions.....

The work is useful. It randomly selects a participant out of potentially billions or more to commit the next block, but only the next block, and no others to the blockchain. This ensures the chain remains fair because any potentially malicious actor cannot sustain an attack involving malicious blocks for long - it costs them too much electricity.

There is no known alternative system which is capable of randomly selecting a participant out of the entire pool of participants. Every other "solution" works by limiting the participation, because it is impossible for a network wide agreement at this scale to be done (would require every node communicating with every other node in the network and having a unanimous agreement on who has the legitimate authority to commit the next block).

Any system which doesn't require work to be done to prove that the correct participant was selected is vulnerable to Sybil attacks, where people control more network nodes in attempt to gain more leverage over others. The idea of staking some money doesn't fix this either, because proof-of-stake has the "nothing at stake" problem where stakers aren't actually spending money because they're guaranteed to get it back for being honest. Running many nodes is also fairly cheap and has the "not much at stake" problem. Only proof-of-work has the "much at stake" problem because the irreversible spending of money on electricity happens prior to any reward which may be received, like a lottery.

You might consider Bitcoin as a whole to be a bad idea. However, with recent "printing" in the tune of trillions of dollars, and with Bitcoin providing an inviolable fix for inflation, I think it might just be worth the effort - at least for anybody sensible who wants to save money for the future.

In terms of Monero, which doesn't fix inflation, it is useful for evading unwarranted financial surveillance. I suspect this will be fine for some time to come, but there will be eventually be enough privacy features on Bitcoin to make it unnecessary. For now: save in Bitcoin, spend in Monero.
Perhaps it's more likely getting life insurance when you know you have a disease that is likely to be fatal (but not 100% guaranteed). Most life insurance policies would disallow that. At the very least they require you to disclose it, and if they still agree to insure you the premium would be much higher.
There's a significant difference between making a mistake and shooting someone in the back or choking him to death.
I'm guessing you don't have this woman's inside knowledge of the airline system in China. You're assuming here that a person can't reasonably know or deduce a flight will be delayed, but her track record says different.

Sometimes, often in fact, it becomes pretty obvious a flight will be delayed but they just haven't bothered to officially announce the fact yet. Such as if the plane isn't even there because they are delayed on the previous leg, and boarding time is about to start. Or when the airport cancels all flights for an indeterminate time due to incoming bad weather and the airlines wait to update times because they don't know what to say yet.
Thats correct. And it makes sense. If you buying HW in bulk, you take into account how much power it will draw, what's the expected life expectancy, how much work will given part do and not just the price.

If you get an amazing price for part that fails often, it might cost you way more in long run.
RetroArch and Vulkan based projects in general are supported on Macs, since RetroArch has integrated MoltenVK.

For this particular project, it's up in the air whether it actually works. Parallel RDP is not a "standard Vulkan game", and if I understand correctly behaves more like a compute shader program written in Vulkan. As a result, it requires the presence of certain more niche Vulkan extensions. MoltenVK by its nature is not as "feature rich" a Vulkan driver as bare metal Vulkan drivers are, so it might be missing extensions required for Parallel to work. In Parallel RDP's first iteration, it required a Vulkan extension that allows GPUs to use system memory, which was only present in certain Windows/Linux GPU drivers but not in MoltenVK. There's already a workaround for this with a minor performance impact.

Parallel RDP now seems to work on a few mobile GPU Vulkan implementations [1], which would be encouraging for MoltenVK as those drivers tend to be lower quality and have less coverage also. Maybe Parallel RDP already works on MoltenVK in fact, and just requires some testing [2].

Re the second video, what I see is that at 0:33, the guy they're chasing starts to step out of the vehicle, and a police officer just whips out his baton and whacks him, unprovoked; and was about to whack him a second time when another officer intervenes. Furthermore, it looks like officer with the baton keeps looking for more opportunities to hit him as he's wrestled to the ground, and is only prevented by the fact that the guy is being mobbed by other officers.

EDIT Also, around 1:37 it looks like someone kicks him when he's lying on the ground, and at 1:45 someone punches him when his hands are cuffed behind his back.

That looks like an example of unnecessary force to me.

Trading instruments like mortgage-backed securities does not constitute "gambling with people's homes." It's not like someone's taking your home away just because of some CDO trades.

Arguments from analogy can be useful to infer some possible further similarity. So as a creative, inductive process.

But using an argument from analogy to say why something can't or shouldn't be done is yes, as you say, problematic, because it's 1) usually easy to pick apart the analogy but also because 2) it's intellectually dubious and lacking in rigour.

Here you'd probably want to use local automatic weather stations (AWS), which are a superset that includes major airports. There are lot more of those around London than just Heathrow. I imagine NOAA has a similar setup.

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/...

I'm not sure if the CAA and Met Office share stations though. Airports often have more specific instruments like ceilometers to give measurements of cloud layer height, while AWS might have more cliamtologic things like pyranometers for sunlight hours.

Some ideas:

- Less immunity, and discharge without pension for blatant violations, for example being caught on camera hiding a badge, or deliberately bumping into someone to be able to argue that they were "assaulted".

- Longer police traning. A 6-12months is how long you should train to be an unarmed mall security guy. Two or three years for a policeman seems like a minimum if you want qualified officers.

- Federal overview of all police and common frameworks for what is allowed and expected by police officers.

- Only qualified policemen should be allowed to be managers anywhere in the hierarchy (e.g. running for a Sheriff should require police traning and N years of experience).

- More training focus on deescalation, dialog and avoiding dangerous situations.

- Mental health screening. You don't want anyone who would become violent when in the wrong situation.

A 5-10 year old machine can still be perfectly usable. I have a 2012 laptop with a high end i7 3-series CPU, high end Quadro GPU and I would hate if any of them failed because it's not something I can easily (if at all) fix, the whole laptop would become a doorstop.

A certain flight out of a certain airport (I won't say which one) was routinely delayed to the point that passengers waiting for the inevitable compounding series of delay announcements (always after the predicted departure time had passed, and before the plane had showed up much less been boarded) would make small talk about it. Predicting that these flights would be delayed every. damn. time. was not difficult. However, if the insurance companies eliminate this face-saving measure for airlines then they may be forced to be realistic rather than maximally optimist in their departure estimates in the future (or simply be blacklisted by these kinds of insurance).
