That doesn't sound right. The reason sample size is important is because the larger the group, the less likely the group is to be atypical. I don't think you can turn that around and then say "this group is small, which itself is evidence, because otherwise it would have to be extremely atypical to show a difference." That's completely circular.

The p-value is still the important thing because the p-value is itself affected by the sample size.
I was just talking to a good friend of mine about how the lockdown and Covid-19 really revealed the people who are friends of convenience vs. the friends who will take the extra effort (e.g. will go for walks, or join Zoom chats) no matter the cost.
What I don't understand is that Hertz specifically wanted to sell an amount of shares that wouldn't raise enough money to pay off their debts. Their prospectus noted that shares sold would automatically become worthless unless their debt was paid off, which they didn't anticipate.

But why not try? What if they sold so much stock that the bondholders could just be paid back? Why do the stock sale specifically planning for failure? Why include a limit that guarantees failure even if you would have otherwise succeeded?
What people tell me is that it stops being mobile after you “park” it. So basically mobile from the dealer lot to the park and not so much after that.

Ask HN: Favorite Linux and dev focused blogs/podcasts/YouTube/Twitter?
Hello World!

I really enjoyed getting into Linux and development. I also really enjoy reading and watching good bloggers and youtubers that talk about Linux, the community and just the world of Open Source and programming. Everything I find I find through search and I was wondering what everyone's favorites bloggers, sites and channels are.

It seems to me that people saying your service is also potentially unreliable are missing the point a bit. By paying you money, there's a customer relationship, an SLA, etc. As a (hypothetical) SAAS company, I don't get an SLA from my customers that their webhook consumer endpoints won't go down, but I do get an SLA from Diahook.
yeah but what about yext and friends getting special access for their clients?
Why would be curious about corporate bankruptcy procedures and spend time and money on it is beyond me but I'm sure that's not why the rest bought in.

> I suspect we gutted our middle class with globalization.

It's not about middle class. In other rich countries, everyone, incl. the lower class, can afford to live in apartments, and doesn't have to resort to living in trailers.
I have seen 26:xx and 27:xx on work. If we work (very) late, our work time system does write it like that.
Globalization and other factors didn't help, but the continued refusal to pay people a reasonable wage for full or part time work is a huge part of why the middle class is struggling and the class below is failing to move up into the middle class over time. The minimum wage hasn't budged in decades, and in general wages have not remotely kept up with increases in productivity and revenues. If the minimum wage had been going up middle class wages would have had to increase to stay ahead and likely everyone would be doing a lot better. There's a lot of paranoia about possible negative impacts of wage increases, but it's been tested in many municipalities at this point with no major issues, and virtually every other western country has a much higher minimum than us.
Haha, you missed the scam.

> If Mexico was the same population of about 100 million and the US had 33 million instead of 330 million people but was just as wealthy, would a single Mexican illegal alien be dissuaded from attempting to sneak across the border? Of course not.

Obviously, if the US was ten times smaller there would be 10 times fewer jobs, so yes the flow would be much slower.

>> You need a pretty high salary in SF for example if you want to enjoy the lifestyle of a nurse or street sweeper in Copenhagen.

> Ah yes, as we can see from the massive flow of Americans moving from San Francisco to Copenhagen to work as nurses and street sweepers.

Your logic continues to amaze me. I live in Copenhagen and have some friends with pretty basic jobs. Even a kindergarten teacher can live in a (small) apartment downtown, walk/bike to work and have her kids in the best school in Denmark, and we all have the same healthcare and access to university. Needless to say everyone gets 5-6 weeks holiday a year, works at most 40 hours a week and in general have much more pleasant life than someone earning 150 k in SF would have.

But again, how many Americans do you think could even place Copenhagen on the map? Let alone would consider learning Danish. Canadians are much more cosmopolitan, so why do you think it would be comparable?
I had a similar issue, made worse by the fact that I was left handed and writing from left to right. So aside from smudges, I’d visually cover what I had just written. Plenty of opportunities to lose train of thought or misread something

AS the private sector is already convinced, I don't see much problems there. There is only the remaining resistance in old fossil and nuclear with a small and desperate astroturf campaign (http://www.tmia.com/old-website/News/AstroTurf.htm). The energy issue in the always outraged population which became so prominent in the recent years is a tiny problem compared to what really drives them forward. Just hand them out their own solar collectors with some edgy claims on it ;)
What I think is missing in this take is the separation of concerns and encapsulation of dependencies that services bring over libraries.

For example; a pdf transformation library may require a Linux machine for with custom PDF software, maybe even accelerated graphics hardware too. With a library I have to deal with all that, but a service can encapsulate that behind a HTTP interface.

Alternatively, with a pdf transformation library, you need to deal with those dependencies and hardware requirements yourself.

Yeh my amateur research is going to be better than their experience.
This is amazing. I had a play around with it whilst it was in beta, and was blown away by the variety of papers returned. On a whim I searched for a very obscure topic that I'd researched before (just for personal interest) in the past using worldcat / google scholar, and to my surprise was presented with several highly relevant papers I'd never come across before, that were exactly what I was looking for.
John Legere, who was responsible for T-Mobile's norm-shattering "uncarrier" direction, resigned last year after the Sprint merger went through.

Now that T-Mobile isn't a scrappy underdog anymore, I think we can expect more American business-as-usual customer exploitation from them.

The problem is what those questions are. Are you expected to memorize a formula or are you expected to solve a real problem, possibly with the formulas available in a cheat sheet?

My wife grew up with a lot of testing in asia. Now working as a teacher in northern europe she finds the approach here way better for actually learning, where there's less focus on memorizing things, and more on problem solving. The thing is, it's harder to make tests for problem solving, so tests tend to favor memorizing, especially when there's a lot of it. It's not just about making the questions, it's about grading them and making a judgement about whether the student took the right approach despite getting the wrong answer. How do you standardize that?

I'm not sure what's standard, but at my university we often had exams with either formula books and/or a cheat sheet we could prepare ourselves. Yet the math tests were way more challenging for me than the simpler tests without access to material we had in high school.

Per available data, that is 321,000 employees, comprising 9.2% of the overall workforce. That is a very high portion, higher even than here in the US, where only 7.7% are tech workers.

> Half of the jews chose not to live in Israel. The educated half.

It's very clear that you have a blatant anti-Israeli agenda. Still important to point out that contrary to your biased, counterfactual claims, Israeli Jews are no less educated or talented than others, based on the actual facts of the Israeli technology industry and its economic achievements:

You've clearly forgotten how disappointing things can be when you're a kid. How you waited for Christmas or saved for weeks only to find the thing you got is garbage. I've heard plenty of stories about kids being absolutely gutted for not getting what they thought they were getting for virtual currency in Roblox and Minecraft.

That's also not mentioning how different aspects of a game can be fun or unfun. It could be that kids just want some item in aspirationally in a game but actually have no interest in playing the game itself. Much like how kids can have zero interest in the Pokemon card game but desperately crave spending $4 for the pleasure of 1 minute of unwrapping new cards.

That's also not factoring in the social pressure and envy kids feel when their friends talk about things they have.

Then, as a sibling comment pointed out, you just pay to get obviously fake mass positive reviews for a competitor, and suddenly they have a null rating because the market has removed all the reviews.
I'm involved in two cases: MtGox and Grupeer. Neither were publicly traded companies that went bankrupt, but they're insolvency cases in general. In the former I had some play money (by now the coins owed might be worth thousands, but back then it was pennies) and didn't spend time figuring this out properly, in the latter I have a few thousand euros and collectively we (~2500 people) got ourselves a law firm in the relevant jurisdiction. With MtGox, at some point some step on the website didn't work (I felt like I kept having to reiterate that, yes, I still want my coins back) and it seems I now lost my claim or something, I don't quit get it. With Grupeer, I notice that we're on top of every development, filing disputes where necessary, and while I still spent multiple evenings reading through documents and collecting my data for evidence, we've totally got this.

If you ever find yourself with money in a bankruptcy and it is worth more than the lawyer's fee, definitely get a lawyer involved. They know what to file, to whom, when to take which step. The trustee or administrator is not going to come knocking on your door with your dues just like that.
Given we’ve had the internet for over a generation with this issue being known that whole time, I don’t think that’s actually something we can do. Not in general, not from plain text.
Before I became vegetarian I read as many papers as I could about why meat is good or bad for you.

Unfortunately a lot of papers don't provide very good data regarding what kind of meat is being eaten. At least, not in what I've read; I'd love to see something better.

Some very specifically included processed meats which, to me, invalidates the study as a study about meat. Processed meats are a completely different beast. On those grounds a significant number of studies I've read are hard to take seriously.

This could be a reason people are calling it bullshit.

I'd love to see a study involving conscientious meat eating habits in which people eat mostly vegetables, some whole meats, and otherwise avoid processed foods. This is how I'd want to eat if I ate meat, but it's rare to see balanced studies.

This does, however, make some sense: most people eat processed foods where these studies are done, so they're relevant to a broader part of the population.

They should not be used to condemn meat, though.
That book is great if you want to go in-depth! If you're a practitioner who wants to get to a trained model as quickly as possible, you're probably better of just following a tutorial.

Either;

1. They are lying, and spreading FUD about regulations and licenses as an excuse to hide the real reason why they don't want to let user install their software. (Eg, because options costs extra and if it was free software one could install it for free)

2. Or, they are mistaken and don't understand the license. Maybe the cost to use alternative is less than the cost of figuring out.

3. They are right and that is a sad reality that the government give more power to companies than power to end users for things they owe.

Since you mentioned something about the ROM which was clearly false, that could very well be option 1 or 2.

I mean, why would the gouvernement want to restrict users to update the GPS software or the media player?
Hello logic, meet brick wall. Enjoy the conversation.

Lots of in between the lines intentionally left for the reader. No, I'm not in a country that normally uses kilo for weight. There are not many things sold by the kilo in non-metric using countries, but some items are regardless.

> That's a false equivalency and doesn't apply to a very well researched and presented mini documentary. If that were the case it wouldn't have received over 62000 likes, so don't insult people's intelligence with your pseudo intellectual 'critique' by making hand wavy arguments without pointing out anything specific.

And "What The Bleep Do We Know" made tens of millions of dollars (which is worth way more then 62k likes, but instead millions of people paying to watch it). It's still a load of horse crap.

Andrew Wakefield's documentary on how vaccines cause autism also pulled in 10's of millions with a lot of people believing it, and used similar editing techniques.

62k likes on youtube is not some high barrier of truth to clutch your pearls about. Go look at the like count of flat earth videos for another example.

> Wow you don't like the editing, could you be more shallow and desperate in your defence of the ccp's genocide? The video is excellent in its approach to deliver an important topic in an entertaining and engaging manner, that's why it has successfully reached a greater audience. Your 'criticism' is a joke.

I'm pointing out that it's using well known techniques to make people seem like they're saying the opposite of what they're actually saying, while infusing the whole argument with emotional impact unrelated to what's being said.

As I said originally, the OP would be better off not using a documentary that doesn't use techniques known for telling lies via editing.
This is a good question. I guess what you're actually interested in is the latency between the physical display updating vs the local display updating, right? I just did a quick test under good circumstances using this video (machines on the same lan): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLxY0HDakRk with the physical and remote display side by side. I noticed an approximately 3 frame lag between the physical display and the local / client display update.
What Do We Mean by Losing Weight?
We have Disney+ and Roblox, and my son has hardly any interest in Disney+. It wasn't because of him we got Disney+.

Meanwhile my sons pocket money gets split between V-bucks for Fortnite and Robux, because that is what he wants to spend money on. He could've funded that Disney+ subscription several times over with what he spends on Robux.

I think the things he buys are idiotic, but here's the thing: Over several years, he's never once expressed regret at these purchases. He continues to get enjoyment from it.

A lot of the hate for Roblox I see here feels like parents trying to impose their own preferences on their kids, instead of considering just how idiotic their parents would have found the things they spent money on as kids.

You're right on this one, and I hope you don't see mass downvotes for this.

Men are physically stronger and more athletic on average, and it's so extreme that hilarious stories like this [1] come out when top-tier female athletes try to compete against men in some sports. Woman simply do not want to be working the same kind of manual labor jobs at the rate that that men have for this reason, and it would be extremely bad for society if we attempted to fix this "inequality".

But it's even more pronounced in dating/sexual patterns. Most women do not want to be "dominant" and this lack of "dominant" women is a huge problem for men who consider themselves to be "submissive". It's a very talked about issue for men in BDSM communities. And it's even more well known how a majority of women find it very hot to be "dominated" e.g. lightly choked [2]. Women simply will not prefer a society where men on average are not the "dominant" gender, at least in key aspects of society such as the bedroom or in labor intensive work.

Some actual examples could go along way towards making a better point. Obviously some things are better as services and other better as libraries. The question is under what circumstances to choose one model or the other. I didn't think the article really shed any light on that question.

I also think that the author (and other commenters in this thread) underestimate how much the move to SaaS is driven by what users want as opposed to what the providers want. I'm old enough the remember the pre-SaaS/pre-cloud days when everything was a library. And it was a nightmare. You have to run all of your own infrastructure and the pace of development in the products themselves was terrible. And of course it makes sense. Need to store some data? A SaaS provider can pick a storage layer that meets their needs and be done with. But of course a purveyor of enterprise software has to support every possible storage layer under the sun.
I can't help but wonder if reviews should just be eliminated.

I don't have a guess as to how Google would handle that. But for something like Amazon -- surely it would be easier for Amazon to vet the products they list than to vet all the reviews for those products? When I shop on Amazon, the only reason I read the reviews is to determine if a product is shitty or not. If Amazon had a decent standard of product quality, I don't really need the review section. Besides, I can always return it if Amazon (or the reviews) are wrong.
> Gyms are no competition for my money because I have no interest in going.

Sure but at a gym you also get unlimited access to coach led group training _in person_, as well as unlimited access to large and expensive facilities, so it doesn't really make sense that this costs as much as a gym membership.
