I agree with this. The results and discussion are usually the least interesting parts and figures are usually meaningless without seeing how the data used to generate those figures were collected.

The methodology tells you exactly what the people who wrote the paper did. It's where you can see whether they used a sample size of 10 vs 1000, what methods they used to sample their data, the accuracy levels they used in analyzing their data, it's also how a study may be replicated.

Without reading the methods, you can't be sure about any other thing in the paper.

That's the problem i see with a lot of news reporting on science papers. They use the gp's method of reading. Abstract, images and maybe results if they're really trying.

That's how you end up with a lot of sensationalist, contradictory science headlines.
>Is there a good explanation for that assertion?

I think part of the explanation is that Republicans tend to feel less threatened by covid-19 and thus more willing to vote in person.
> A great number of people can and have used

And a great number of people have died because of this use. I mean, are you really going to argue that it is possible to have a "normal" life and take heroin or meth at the same time? I'm not saying taking heroin should be a felony, but selling it definitely should.
The characterization of "completely unregulated" seems pretty silly, given that Prop 22 imposes a decent number of new regulations on the app-based employment market.

If you are correct then why get married at all?

Anecdotally many are in unhappy marriages but we also have no-fault divorce. So you can end it if need be. I suspect you are wrong though. If everyone has an exit to take and everyone wants to take the exit, aside from a cohort that cannot take the exit, why don’t they?

Acommmenter on Seeking Alpha Debunked this article here it is as follows:

David Haggith

The article is a total fail.
The fact that the author has "gold" in his name is telling. It's an attempt to sell gold. He's talking his book.
Almost the entire article that claims in its title we already have hyperinflation is really an article about hyperinflation in money supply. We all know we have had that to the tune of trillions of dollars for an entire decade. The author's claim is that, since we have hyperinflation in money supply, it is almost a foregone conclusion we have it in prices (dollar-value loss). It's an article that essentially says, "It is theoretically supposed to happen; therefore, it is happening."
The author, however, does almost nothing to justify any claim of devaluation of money or inflation of prices. We've seen stocks inflate and bond prices, and now we are seeing housing prices inflate. All are assets so not exactly cost-of living, except with housing it becomes both-- a rise in the price of a highly valued asset that is also essential for living.
He mentions some obscure inflation index most of us have probably never heard of as if we should accept it at face value. It's almost irrelevant anyway. Outside of housing, you can quote any inflation gauge you want, and it doesn't matter. Each of us can look to our own lives and say, "How bad is inflation hurting me? Is it worse than any other time in my life." Outside of housing, I do NOT experience that price inflation (dollar value deflation) is hurting me any differently than it has for most of my life. It is nothing compared what I felt during the Nixon years; and even that was far from hyperinflation.
So far.
So, the article is almost click-bait because it does not prove or even present much realistic evidence for the kind of inflation it is talking about that erodes our standard of living -- price inflation / dollar-value deflation. Inflation is always a loss for all of us, so I'd rather not ever have inflation; still, it is so far still percolating along as usual, except in housing right now. (edited)
Yes, federal laws override state laws, but that would require federal agents on the streets to enforce them.
My point has more to do with freedom of expression, which the left is in the process of destroying in this country. When I complain that freedom of speech is being destroyed, the usual rejoinder from the left is: "The Constitution only prevents the Government from retaliating against what it deems to be offensive speech -- companies and individuals are permitted to retaliate." Which is true, I suppose. But until fairly recent times, no one ever expected there to be a threat to free speech except from the Government! That certainly seemed to be the threat the framers of the Constitution had in mind.

I understand your frustration with conservatism on fiscal issues -- the middle class is reeling. This is mostly due to globalization and the race to the bottom. I am opposed to heavy taxation and/or increased redistribution of wealth, but I can't say I know how to fix the situation. I recently listened to an interview on the Quillette podcast with Jeff Rubin, author of the recently published The Expendables: How the Middle Class Got Screwed by Globalization. Very interesting. In the interview he didn't propose any fixes, though perhaps in the book he does.

I see this as having positive results minimizing drug trafficking and reducing petty crime but I don’t this having any impact on addiction.

You can grown to love someone the same as you can grow to hate them.
no joke, but have you been to therapy? What you need is to come to grips with the fact that you were bullied, the why, the what, what made you a target, that you realize it wasn't something of your fault but the bullies own insecurities. The anger and lashing out is really a deep hurt you need to address.
Yes! Absolutely! Free to make our own mistakes and learn from them instead of living protected by the Big Brother and never learn anything.

Free to make our own choices and support the consequences like adults, not children.

This FREEDOM is what America was built on and what keeps it enduring.
> Ballot measures normally can't be modified by the legislature at all.

We all know this. The point is that the alternative is one that can be overturned more reasonably. "Ah, but you see this one is slightly easier to modify" is crap, IMO. The choices weren't only "literally no way" or "7/8ths".
Have always marvelled at Amazon’s ability to do local Innovation at scale. Here is a behemoth for whom India is 10 percent of global revenue, yet launch a service which has nothing to do with their core e-commerce and cloud functions. Is it to get users, hiring tool or make more money. Will be interesting to learn the culture which facilities such decision making - any other large company would have shot down such a crazy idea long ago
> That's why place do inventory.

Obviously, we know why places do inventory.

We are talking about paying an expensive robot to go up and down isles to track inventory and if that is worth it.

...disappointed with the public...

The whole episode, but especially comments here on HN: I'm getting a strong "Omelas" vibe.
At highway speeds aerodynamic drag creates more noise than the motor itself (externally). So an electric car makes little difference there. Reducing speed reduces noise non-linearly. Therefore electric cars make a big difference for noise pollution in slower city streets. Inter-city travel just needs to be reduced, slowed down, and moved to well built electric rail.

I grew up in Africa.

African chameleons are very cool critters.

Where I lived, most were about three inches long (in the body). The tails could be a lot longer. The tails are prehensile, and the lizards use them as anchors.

Their feet end in these opposable little claws. Their eyes are completely independent of each other, and are usually wandering around, looking at everything around them.

Their camouflage is very good. They can become downright invisible in seconds.

They are also slow, and easy to catch.

We used to catch them, then put them on our index fingers, facing out. They would wrap their tails around our fingers, and didn't usually make much of an effort to escape. Real laconic little buggers.

We'd point them at flies. When they spotted a fly, both eyes would snap to the front, forming a binocular pair. Their mouths would slowly open, exposing their tongue.

Then the tongue would shoot out, fast as hell. It was often a lot longer than the chameleon. The end of the tongue has a sticky bulb that grabs the fly.

The next thing you know, they are calmly chewing (yes, they chew) their new snack.

After we got bored, we'd put them back into a bush, where they would calmly get off our finger, and change color.
Is your supposition that abuse fosters anti-authoritarianism?

If so, I think what doesn't clearly fit is this: Lasting suspicion of authority tends to be born from logic. However, abuse breaks judgment.

It could be that the process of overcoming victimhood makes one more skeptical of authority.

Remember to flag it.
Untrue, the South was more populous than the North during the ratification of the Constitution -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territ...

In fact, it was the slave owning southern states that wanted the Senate to be apportioned proportionally, rather than equally (this was the Virginia Plan). The Virginia Plan created a two-chamber legislature with proportional representation based on population. The New Jersey Plan would have allocated one member of Congress to each state. The Connecticut Compromise that led to the current allocation received buy-in from both slave and non-slave states, because it was about small vs large states, which were present in both sides.

The population advantage of the South was the impetus behind the infamous "three fifths compromise". The 3/5 compromise was designed to reduce the interest of slave-holding states in Congress as well as the elections.

They only just changed to complex passwords this year.

there is some neurogenesis, and the assumption is the new cells integrate with existing circuits over time.

However , in the scenario that single neurons are replaced with artificial copies with exact same synaptic weights, then yes they are functionally equivalent. It's already happening, with deep brain implants etc.
Yes, some species are very hard to tell apart by eye. If you learn their songs it can become easier. Other hard-to-tell-apart species are Marsh tit and Willow tit. I am not confident after close to 10 years with birding interest.
His model is based off of point data. Ultimately what his model encodes is the polls+a degree of uncertainty of the polls are completely wrong. If you looked at just the polls, there was no way for trump to win, even assuming a polling error of the same variety as 2016, which appears to be about the situation we are in now.

So no, there's nothing wrong with his tweet. Otherwise, you should be able to explain how trump could win without a polling error. Which states that trump was polling behind by 5-7 points he'd win, and how he's win them without a polling error.

You probably missed the restrained part. Shooting a restrained person is nothing but 1st degree murder.
so you're assuming that nothing will change in the next 5-10 years?
I am surprised that they lasted this long. I am curious, how do they make money?
Yes, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening here.

Trump won Florida by over 300,000 votes, Texas by over 600,000, and every other state he's won so far has been decided by a much larger margin percentage-wise.

Biden won Arizona by about 100,000 votes, Colorado by 400,000, Minnesota by 150,000, Maine by 50,000, etc etc.

So we see that these 300,000 votes don't mean much when 99,000 of them came from California and Hawaii, states that were decidedly won by Biden by millions of votes.

Perhaps these uncounted votes would make a difference in Georgia and Michigan, but it's too early to tell.

Again I'm not saying this is OK. I have to believe that Trump's attempts at voter suppression have resulted in this kind of thing, and if any intent can be proved then people should be put in prison. But to me, a lot of these votes wouldn't have made a difference one way or another.

Uber. Lyft, etc are already operating on shitty business models with bad margins and totally exposed to economic shifts. I can't imagine that type business model being sustainable with anything different that contract (gig) work.

I'm not defending the gig economy, but I'm sure that if these companies were forced to employ all their workers as FT employees, they would be inviable.
Human capital. Many SAT schools often have 1x1 training but with JEE India, all you need is right course content and prep materials and often students pickup from it.
Often in India, JEE is one of the most respected entry path and students who take it are extremely motivated to the likes of silio ing their life for nothing but exam prep, for years.
Married men earn more. The economy is disincentivized to protect or encourage healthy marriage. There are a number of other factors that also serve to drive us towards later child birth, fewer marriages, and the outsourcing of everything the family would have done in the past.

> Why not just wire the LEDs up to the same power line that goes to the camera?

It's just difficult enough to not bother considering the market doesn't care.

Webcams are typically USB 2.0 devices using generic drivers from the operating system or manufacturer. It's easy from a hardware and software perspective to send a command to the webcam to disable itself and turn off its LED. If you want to completely cut power then you need to add power switching circuitry.

You could use one of your CPU's limited GPIO pins to control the switching but now you probably need a smart power switch (~$0.30, which is significant) since the low voltage (1.2V?) GPIO can't handle switching a regular mosfet gate. GPIO writes are usually easy (just write to a memory address), but you'd still need to modify the vendor driver to do this and then distribute the driver.

Motherboards typically have embedded controllers which have GPIO - on desktops there is a SuperIO chip, I believe laptops typically use a regular microcontroller. Now you have some 3.3V GPIOs that can handle gate switching so you can use a regular MOSFET (~$0.10). You still need to modify and distribute the webcam driver, and now it might have to communicate with another driver which is handling the embedded controller.

Now you have to deal with the webcam disconnecting and reconnecting as you switch power to it. You want the device to always be present even if it's not enumerating on the USB bus, so you can select the webcam in zoom and turn it on and so you're not constantly playing the hardware connect/disconnect sound - even more driver changes. Maybe the webcam takes significantly longer to turn on now because it has to boot and enumerate.

That was all somewhat informed speculation, but I think it illustrates how a seemingly simple thing gets complicated. The electronics industry could easily solve these issues if there was motivation, but there just isn't.

Edit: Well, I'm posting this on an article talking about a vendor which is doing the work to make this happen. I guess I should say there's just enough motivation to eventually get around to solving this problem in a mature market.
That's the point. The language spec was the platonic ideal, and implementations were just imperfect realizations. There were actual languages that still have no implementations.
Isn't it totally useless if it doesn't prevent serialization of parts? For example, I'm pretty sure my dad can't replace the infotainment system on his truck because it's married to the VIN somehow and requires special programming upon replacement.

So even though I think it's awesome to give people more diagnostic data, I don't think it goes far enough if that info is along the lines of "Unauthorized tires detected. Your vehicle must be serviced by an authorized repair shop."

I'd love to help. I've been writing software for the K-12 market for 8 years now. But if you are asking people to pay for the service, it isn't a public education system, it is a private education system. And while that is interesting in its own right, it doesn't fix the problems for the majority of students.

To do this as a public system, you have to get into the public funding. Which means you have to meet curriculum and testing requirements to qualify for that funding. You also need to accept that the public school system provides more than education. It provides meals to low income students. It provides time when the kids are not at home to allow parents to work. It provides clubs, sports, and social activities.

For a new system to succeed is disrupting public education, it needs to resolve all the resources the system offers, not just a new curriculum and teaching methods.

That being said, yes, I'm interested - but only if people are taking on the big picture.
One of the hardest aspects about maintaining an in-house system at a small company can be refraining yourself from removing code that would decrease the company's tech debt. Most managers don't want to admit the smart code they wrote three years ago causes more problems than it solves, and it can get really awkward.
Not all the time, there are enough examples of "I never wanted this life for you" in fiction that I can't believe it's entirely made up.
