Agreed. But the post is not meant to be taken literally... It's rhetorical and makes a point.
No you don't (officially), I also use a throwaway account and had no issues. There were a few unrelated isolated incidents in the beginning that were heavily publicized by the media but in the end you're at the mercy of the same AI ban bots just like with YouTube, Google or any other big platform so you have the same chance of finding yourself locked out if your behavior trips up the algorithm.
Are there ever any hopeful reports published about Covid-19. It's just one constant miserable study after another in the news. Yeah we get it we need to be hiding under our beds in fear of the invisible entity that could strike. It is relentless, obviously people just cant get enough of it cause it has been front page news for 1 1/2 years now.
> But AR should have been a game changer.

VR turned out to be the easier of the two to turn into a viable consumer product - mainly because you can get away with a big bulky headset for gaming around the house, but you can't wear it outside for a walk.

The hardware that you could wear outside for a walk (e.g. google glass) hasn't actually been AR, and has just been like a tiny heads-up display in the corner of your eye.
I can endorse what you have written about Germany. I think that the vast majority of people in my country consider it a good strategy for preventing alcohol abuse by their children in teaching them to handle it in a cultivated manner themselves. Not in theory, but in practice. And this needs to be done before they start to drink in secret with their friends.

I read the article and while the approach seems reasonable, in real life it doesn't always work.

My colleague tried a similar method recently and the result was a total disaster. In stage I, collecting the inputs, he gathered everybody's opinions. In stage II, consensus, everybody was happy. Why? Because person A said we should do A, person B said, "Fine, but we should also do B", person C said, "that's perfect, but we must also do C". The result was a huge monster that everybody thought was possible to realize, except person Z who was responsible for QA and knew very well it's going to fail. Now, in phase III, obviously problems started to pile up. Person Z was overworked and in the end he left the company.

So, basically you need to be smart and know when it makes sense to use the methodology and when it makes no sense. As a rule of thumb, if you work with a small group of smart people who also have a rough idea of what others are doing, it's worth taking the risk.
Being a party boss, he skips the part where the USSR chose not to inform its European neighbours about the catastrophe. They knew when the radiation traveled to Eastern and Northern Europe with the wind. After that European governments started with frantic measures to protect their citizens and ecology.

Obviously, USSR citizens didn't know about it at all. But rumours persisted. I remember my mother listening to Turkish radio from a Black sea resort for the news on Chernobyl.

Does suggest that filtering the water and eliminating meat consumption that has been exposed to antibiotics is a good idea and in there somewhere might be the actual answer that genuinely helps someone loose weight. It is no more crazy than telling them to diet given that is shown not to actually work.

They don't get "so much help" in all the years before because of the same forces that resist change at later ages. My family got a lot of hatred and resistance for just pushing back on the idea that it was okay that many of the schools (you can guess which ones) in our district simply never sent a single application to the 3rd grade GT system because their principals didn't believe that any application would ever succeed. They were wrong, of course.

If this project wants to be taken seriously they should really improve their copy editing.

Statistical adjustments at a population level will be much less useful than the pre post design above.

Getting estimates from the same people will provide a much lower variance estimaion of any potential effect.

Also, adding hospital records to this study would potentially provide a better estimation.

All studies have flaws, but this one does look pretty reasonable (the principal components method used should have been better described, for instance, and confidence bounds on the effect sizes would have been super useful).
I remember it would slow down and you could drag the cursor or a window around the screen and watch the trails accumulate.

I am worried about a time when we do get a good quality photo, the hard part would become convincing everyone that it is a real photo and not cgi.

I have this fear for pretty much everything, so much of our digital lives depend on the assumption that things are real. Security cam footage, audio recordings for criminal proceedings, UFO footage, everything, how will we prove something is actually real in the digital world ?

Think about the reddit AMA proofs[0], I am pretty sure within 10 years there would be no way to actually provide proof for a digital entity representing something real. There are obviously proofs for digital-to-digital entities (cryptographic signatures), but what is the "cryptographic signature" to prove that something is real ?

Or your own money. I did the math and I was spending more money on just electricity to run my home server than it would cost to pay for the services it provided. Not to mention the initial cost of the hardware you need to host it.

A raspberry pi is not sufficient for running things like nextcloud in any kind of performant way.
> But, as shown by the coronavirus, the costs of stopping (or, more realistically, delaying) them are huge

If we all wore $2 N95-equivalent masks, spread out 6 feet whenever convenient, did outside whatever can be done outside, and received a vaccine at (roughly) the same time, COVID19 would be gone.

The costs are huge because we made them huge.

We ignore COVID19 when case counts are low, giving it a chance to mutate and spread. We take extreme measures when hospitals start filling up, shutting down schools and businesses.

See Korea, China, Taiwan, etc. for examples of reasonable-cost ways to control COVID19.
Yeah, spend it before it drops down to $0 when all governments recognize the threat of this Ponzi to the consumers and to the environment! Bitcoin will never be green - only green in the color of the US dollar as everybody holding BTC cares how much his fake money is worth in greenbacks!

True, I sometimes forget how far north the Fertile Crescent reached. Nevertheless, when the Greeks rose to their height the Hittites had already been gone. The fact the Hittite language had to be deciphered in the 20th century attests to the cultural irrelevance of the Hittites for the western world. Compared to that we have whole schools of philosophy for Ancient Greece. We've never needed to rediscover Greece -- it's always been there in the background.

> that 20 of the applicants pass the objective proficiency bar, and now people will apply subjective criteria like "culture fit", who has "leadership potential", etc, and this is where bias creeps in.

If that was the case they wouldn't drop SAT. Fact is they want to accept people with worse objective scores, this whole discussion and article is about that fact. Instead they will use "culture fit" and "leadership potential" to discriminate against Asians and bring in more desirable minorities.
It can also just be enjoyable and therefore not wasted time.

That said, the learned skills are only actually valuable if you can use what you learned later on in life. I've done my fair share of fiddling around with raspberry pis and kernel compiling when I was younger, but can't think of a single time in the last few years where I had to use that knowledge in my day job now that everything is containers+k8s+<some cloud hoster>. Maybe we can argue that it gave me a slight speedup when trying to grok the container execution model or something like that, but I could have gained that knowledge much more efficiently in other ways.

That'll take a long time.

Since the vaccines are excellent at preventing serious outcomes, a fairly large share of the infected won't even go to a physician, and therefore getting a representative sample of infected people will be all of difficult, expensive and time-consuming.

Maybe there exists a set of people who ⓐ resembles the general population and ⓑ will be tested routinely and often for years to come, such that an accurate statistical picture can be found. But I can't think of any now.

Well really it's Boris Jonhson's Tory government and its hardcore supporters that need to show Brexit is a worthwhile venture.

Brexit scraped through with a tiny majority. If it turns out that majority was based on untruths then that's what Johnson will be remembered for.

I don't mean to sound cynical about such projects with good intentions, but I'm not convinced this effort will last without the cooperation and approval from the sci-hub admin herself.

> Is this not a randomised control trial?

No. I am not quite sure how one might even think the words apply here.

If it were, participants would be randomly assigned to the the "control" group where they do not get Covid, but would be told they had Covid (to control for the negative placebo of being told they are now afflicted with a horrible long term malady) and the "treatment" group which would actually be given a Covid infection. Assuming such a study were doable, one can then use a "within participant" comparison which is much more powerful than comparing statistics across groups.

>> We sought to confirm whether there was an association between cross-sectional cognitive performance data from 81,337 participants who between January and December 2020 undertook a clinically validated web-optimized assessment as part of the Great British Intelligence Test, and questionnaire items capturing self-report of suspected and confirmed COVID-19 infection and respiratory symptoms.

There is no randomized assignment here. Susceptibility to report a Covid infection without positive proof is a confounding variable. I suspect that susceptibility is correlated with other cognitive issues.

A "within participant" comparison as the GP brought up would avoid these kinds of issues.
How can it be a randomized controlled trial? Did they randomize a group from the general population in advance and then randomly and blindly, but in a controlled fashion, infect part of the subjects and did they then consider the effects without looking at whether they were the infected people or the control group, until the conclusion of the study?

That’s what’s require for the gold standard.

GDC talks are great, tons of interesting information.
Yes it's incredibly difficult for someone to understand something if their salary depends on not understanding it. It's important to note that Linux would likely not exist if PC makers had used the same lockdown methods as used today.

Moreover when GKH and Linus talk about how GPL enforcement has done nothing good, they conveniently leave out the success of WRT enforcement, which caused one of the biggest Linux offshoots, largely based on volunteer work.

Finally, the audacity of saying "let's talk about legal things without lawyers present" is such a typical software engineer thing, just imagine the reaction someone was proposing to talk about kernel programming without any kernel programmers present

So why not fix that problem? You can't make up 12 lost years beginning at College, putting them to compete with people who are that far ahead will just make everyone feel those people are stupid even if it isn't true.
I ended up working around this by copying into GIMP and copying from there, but of course that's a suboptimal workaround. There's surely some small utility application for this.
Apart from the effect size in that study being pretty low, theres the obvious sampling problem in that sort of people regularly having their brain imaged are not normal!
Based on behaviour I've observed on Linux before, I think X11 might only use delayed rendering (at least for non-text stuff), and so pasting from a closed application just hangs the recipient.

On PC $5 is good price, not too low (like $1 or $2), not too high like $20-$30. Feedback from players mostly say, that the game price should be higher.

> First of all, Greece was not the start of the western civilization.

Possibly, but if the question is "where in the western world did history start", Greece seems like a fine answer, since 1) it's unquestionably a part of the western world, and 2) history starts with writing, and Mycenaean Greeks are (at least off the top of my head) the oldest culture in the western world the writings of which we can read. So that's the beginning of western history, even if not the root of its civilization.
