Like many here I also had an Trip Planner idea, also because I was solving my own pain point, to accurately create a feasible schedule for trips.
My MVP (which is actually my travel planner) is a simple Google Spreadsheet that uses Google Maps API to calculate drive times between destinations (I like to do car trips). So i simply use it to put each destination, calculate driving tim and time at destination to fit the most destinations inside a day.
It could become a product if it had access to a huge destinations database (like tripadvisor, Gmaps, etc.) with infos like "estimated visiting time", cost, etc... But I came to the same conclusion as Garry, this wouldn't be something that would appeal to many people.

Here is the link for the spreadsheet for the curious (you'll need a Google Maps Api key): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16T9kLpbqciKCLNWOoOV1...
I agree with your point from your previous post, that lower p-values are harder to get than higher ones, at least if one is looking at all possible causal relationships, but there are at least two possible causes for the inversion seen in publishing. The first is a general preference for lower p-values on the part of publishers and their reviewers (by 'general' I mean not just at the 0.05 value); the second is that researchers do not randomly pick what to study - they use their expertise and existing knowledge to guide their investigations.

Is that enough to tip the curve the other way across the range of p-values? Well, something is, and I am open to alternative suggestions.

One other point: while the datum immediately below 0.05 would normally be considered an outlier, the fact that it is next to a discontinuity (actual or perceived) renders that call less clear. Personally, I suspect it is not an accidental outlier, but given that it does not produce much distortion in the overall trend, I am less inclined to see the 0.05 threshold (actual or perceived) as a problem than I did before I saw this chart.
I'd wager most are in the latter group... trying to flip for a higher price later.

It's because then Apple Books would have to compete with the Kindle app on fair terms. IE Apple is being anti-competitive and giving their own app an advantage. This is basically a part of what the original lawsuit was about.

I certainly did. Issues like crashing out of nowhere, silently failing downloads, etc. So I switched to the CLI option even though I'd have strongly preferred to be able to use the GUI. I was excited by the title of the HN post and then disheartened to see a program of the same name (as I assumed it was this buggy one), glad to see it's a different program.
No it’s primarily vendor management (according to the CIOs I’ve interviewed).

When you have a network security department unable to articulate its policies, which relies on vendors for everything including expertise, you damn well should worry.
Does the community edition work on linux, or compile to linux? The page says:

I used to do the fluff thing more early in my career, thinking I was being polite and comprehensive in my communication, then over time I realized people are more likely to respond if you’re concise and clear in what your request is.

Nowadays I try to get to the point about what I want from the other person, while giving just enough context at the start to frame the request. It has definitely helped in getting a response or action.
People forget that cubicles were invented to mitigate the serious problems of the open office plans that were predominate before them. When they were introduced, workers really loved them because of that.

Since actual offices probably aren't ever coming back, I think that the return of open office plans will, in the long run, get people to really appreciate cubicles again.

If you're at all likely to be defining views that contain any of these columns, I would strongly advocate using text with the check constraint, rather than varchar. The reason being: if you ever need to increase the column's maximum length, in the case of varchar you will be prohibited from making this change because it violates the data type dependency between the table and the view.

To cope with this, in the same transaction that you're increasing the length of the varchar, you will also need to drop and recreate all such dependent views (and any other views that depend upon those views, etc).

This is not fun.

In comparison: increase the maximum length of the check constraint, job done.

This kind of discussion about NFTs being money laundering is taking place in literally every single post related to NFTs on this board.
With apple I know that I can cancel easily. I am not going to sign up for a subscription with anybody but Apple.

I am also an irrational cheap skate so if I see Apple around but more, I won't subscribe at all.

My guess is that a lot of people see it that way.

Or I could just buy the T-shirt at a fraction of the cost, and not care that it's not carrying a cryptographic signature.

Most NFTs that I've seen are incredibly flimsy-looking digital 'pieces', if I can even call them that. Their value itself is just as questionable, considering the artsts are unknown, the art is not a limited edition, and the cost to reproduce it is zero.

Maybe the market for NFTs is purely the '1000 true fans' types, the followers who will always pay for what you put out. But the majority of people are unlikely to have that relationship with the artist, even if they like what they saw on a transient Twitter post one day.
I hope that you are right, but I fear we're in the long tail at this point

Yes, it's seriously creepy. In fact, this is what prevents me from being able to wear headphones to mitigate the noise of an open office -- if I'm wearing headphones, then I'm constantly psychologically "on guard" and looking around since I can't hear if someone has approached me.

But if I don't wear them, then it's too noisy to work.

That dichotomy is why I simply cannot function in an open office.
Funnily enough, The Atlantic just put out an article describing why the idea of "sterilizing vaccines" itself might be a myth and why that doesn't matter from a practical public health standpoint:

You would think so, but this is wrong for the same reason that "the most popular product is probably the best product" is wrong.

Quality doesn't determine who wins. It's a factor but not the factor. In the case of programming languages in particular, tribalism, new-and-shiny syndrome, and marketing are all probably more important.

self -> python is verbose
Really? Anyone who has written code in Java or C# knows python is much more succinct compared to them.

Whitespace cannot be seen hence do not use them
You are not expected to see them. you are expected to view the indentation and make sure it is consistent. This forces programs to be easier to read.

static typing > Dynamic typing
OK, i agree that as programs grow large, static typing allows to catch many bugs early enough. But nowadays void * casting of pointer in C is considered bad, earlier it was ok. The point is languages improve over time (JS looking at you) and with typing support in python 3.5+, this problem is very much fixed.

No constants
I am not writing python for 10 years, and simple CONST_ prefix does the job.

It’s OK to just admit you chose a really bad comparison point, there are others that would probably support your case better, you just happened to choose one of the most heavily regulated areas that has had plenty of constitutional challenges (see everything around breathalyzer checkpoints and the 5th amendment), as well as one of the ones that went through the most hysteria: Ralph Nader built an entire career after publishing “Unsafe at Any Speed” and then testifying to Congress which rocked the automotive world and lead to a ton of regulations. This was all in the 60s though, so easy to forget. But for a more recent example, MADD became a huge “hysteria” to the point of the ACLU fighting against them over the constitutionality of roadblocks. Whether you think it’s justified or not (and to be clear, I’m not arguing either side in this instance), it’s undeniable that car safety was on people’s mind in a big way, and not just in one specific moment in time, but on several separate occasions, over many different issues. I mean, hell, the driver’s license is the closest thing we have to the feared “government ID,” so even the expansion of scope arguments apply.

With regard to “how much we could do” — sure, same can be said with COVID. There’s way more we could do than forcing employees of companies with over 100 people to take a free vaccine or be tested. There’s tremendously more drastic measures that could be taken. As such, the investment is at best comparable (and in reality much smaller) than what we’ve done for cars.
`The argument that vaccines don't prevent delta tranmission are based on headlines, not science.`

That is not the case.

"“The bottom line is, this can happen — it can be true that vaccinated people can spread the virus. But we do not yet know what their relative role in overall community spread is,” says co-author Thomas Friedrich, a virologist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison."

Vaccinations may (or may not) reduce the propensity of vaccinated people to spread Delta but it's very clear at this point vaccinated people can spread Delta to some degree.

i once produced the annual catalog for a traditional travel package company, filled with pictures and enticingly-crafted copy (at merely-high to outrageous prices). the whole thing was designed to move potential customers from rational to emotional decision-making and apply simple price discrimination mechanics to maximize revenue. low tech but effective.

it seems like most travel planning software fails due to the too-common misapplication of technology to solve marketing problems.
I've been working with Oracle SQL for years, and it definitely has it's idiosyncrasies. Part of their problem is (in my opinion) an unwillingness to upgrade older programs and processes. I do a lot of work in Pro*C, which is C with pre-compiled Oracle SQL and PL/SQL embedded in normal C code. The SQL you can use in that tool, for some reason, is a small subset of what you can use in an SQL tool like PL/SQL Developer. You can't bring back subselects in the select list, and you can't use inline views, among others. Which baffles me, because it should all be SQL once you hit their database.

Their sqlplus command-line tool for linux program was written in 1982 it says, and it still doesn't allow for use of the up arrow to retrieve history, and is very quirky with how it handles editing of code. Their Oracle Forms product is very klunky, too. I'm happy I don't need to set up Web Logic servers, because that looks like a nightmare, too.

A little work on tooling would go a long way.

I am partial to using joins in where clauses instead of ansi sql join statements, so I guess there's that.
One of the requirements of achieving the top levels within the analytics team at my company is to be considered a thought leader and evangelist. This is accomplished by blogging, tweeting, LinkedIn posts, and speaking at conferences.

I imagine that someone could create an NFT, then use their illegally acquired money (from selling drugs, or whatever) to buy the NFT pretending to be someone else, then claim their income is from being an artist, rather than, say, a drug dealer.

I mean I'm sure it takes place, but I'd claim it's the minority. There are actually a lot of 'legit' people into NFTs, be it to collect them, or just speculatively buy them to flip them at a profit.

Ultra-based. Thanks for changing my mind about Leah :)
> this sentiment holds very little water when it's coming from people who speak out against a vaccine mandate but choose to stay quiet on things like abortion rights.

Arguments around hypocrisy cut both ways! Consider how weak pro-choice arguments sound right now to people who don't want to be forced to take a vaccine. I'm assuming we will never ever hear "My body, my choice" as a pro-choice argument ever again, it would be absurd at this point.

Also, I wonder how much of this is a left vs right political debate. Most of the conservatives I personally know are vaccinated. It's possible that there are silent dissenters among the progressives that can't really speak up because they will be ostracized.
Another advantage of using `varchar(n)` rather than a constraint is that the limit is visible in `information_schema.columns` and `pg_attribute`, so tools using this sort of introspection have a better chance of doing something useful.

(Incidentally, distinguishing between "text" and "varchar" the way you do in the article can be confusing, because in PostgreSQL plain `varchar` instead of `varchar(N)` is another way of getting an unconstrained character type.)
They use a hot knife, which I don't know is technically cutting, but probably much less likely to damage the substrate.
Doesn't matter; everyone else you talk to on WhatsApp is uploading those same conversations to Apple and Google effectively unencrypted.
The backdoor.
This is ridicolous, they block the account of people for no reason, making them loose years of messages, and now they come up with encrypted backups... they should focus on improving their support. They have only an email address for support. Try to get your account unblocked if their AI decides to block you. Good luck

It’s almost impossible to analyze Epic’s rates “objectively”. Fortnite is free, but you can pay for in-game currency (V-Bucks) with which you buy cosmetics. You can buy V-Bucks directly (discounted in large amounts), get them through a monthly subscription slightly cheaper, or get a limited amount by playing (more if you buy a season pass which also includes cosmetics).
BTW: Cosmetics are EXTREMELY overpriced, because you pay for “exclusivity” (think like USD 20+ for a fully accessorized skin with no effects beyond cosmetic).
Even though Epic can claim it lowered the cost of V-Bucks in its store, you can only used them to pay for a small daily selection of arbitrarily overpriced cosmetics that Epic puts in its in-game store… so how much is a V-Buck worth? Nobody knows, and Epic can tweak it by making skins more or less detailed, or by giving away more or less V-Bucks to players and subscribers.
