Lol, you can actually see the dogs telling the monkeys to fuck off in the videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xSZDV_e1WU

A monkey vs a dog? The monkey wins? Really.

I would find it hard dragging a dog onto a roof and dropping it. That's challenging even with a better size difference and intelligence.

There seems to be one picture where they have a puppy. Not sure it's even harmed? "Pictures in local media show a monkey on a rooftop holding a dog" But does it actually drop it off the roof?

This is a moral panic. It's even moved to neighbouring villages.

The same moral panic as happen with minorities and ends up with districts burnt down. People just don't like monkeys.
Yes, but I think the “natural” resting state will be (or should be) basic ads like on billboards. Promote your product, don’t track your customer.
The point is to place the gentrification blame on the landlords instead of the people who happen to be able to afford the stated price
I mean, yes, I mostly read things online nowadays, but... I'm still reading, it's just on the computer now.
I'm referring to privately funded IP projects. I agree that publicly funded research can still exist even without IP protection.
I've been able to see it as far as I remember. I think I really noticed it first in elementary school. I remember very distinctly doing in the family car in 4th grade after telling my mom about Minecraft, lol.
>- The focus of reviews is not on correctness but stuff like naming, docstrings, and design.

I agree that focusing on naming/docstrings doesn't make much sense, but design feels like it's fair game. What type of "design" stuff is showing up in your reviews?
It's a single guy working on it as far as I know, and he has a good devlog on that same Youtube channel. He apparently had to rewrite most graphics libraries to shade things according to hyperbolic geometry. Looks like it should be coming out soon, though (hopefully).
Even if we also accept the unspoken assumption that there are no other photons/electrical fields outside the experiment, the experiment is still wrong, since the battery will produce a teeny tiny electrical field even if the switch is off. This is much more visible if we assume the switch is at one end of the light-second long cables - throwing the switch has little impact on the experiment as explained.
I actually just spent the last few months working on a new program called picosnitch that does almost exactly what you're looking for. And as you can probably tell from the name, it was inspired by Little Snitch.

It watches your system for new executables that connect to the internet, and notifies you whenever it detects the first connection from one, or when the hash changes for one it has seen before. It can also automatically check the hashes with VirusTotal. And unlike any of the other existing tools (that I know of), it can also properly detect connections from executables inside containers, although the reported exe path may be useless due to namespaces, it will still give you the correct hash.

However, where it is lacking when compared to Little Snitch is that it does not block anything, since I wanted to focus on doing performance and reliability really well, and my time is finite. Although I am open to making it easier to use in conjunction with something like fail2ban or your own custom scripts, modularity is a good thing.

I just recently got this program into a state where I feel it is ready to share, so I'd really appreciate any feedback, and am happy to discuss it further.
I think the main point of your comment is insightful. The final two sentences are distracting and unnecessary. How about deleting them?
It's that much on a popular cloud platform, you can buy this for 3-4 times that amount and use it for years.
"Anyone can practice" is pretty meaningless. The largest component of benefit of expensive classes is how they motivate students. Motivating students (unless they are already self-motivated) is very difficult and skill and resource intensive, that's why the service is expensive.
Not sure I follow your question.

An example of something that's not human subjects research would be emailing people who have websites and asking about their privacy policy.

An example of something that is human subjects research would be emailing people who have websites and asking what inspired them to start a website.

I realize that may seem like a subtle difference, but it's an important distinction from an IRB perspective. For reference, and because a lot of people seem confused on this thread, here's what the human subjects research training at my university says about this...

"...some research that involves interactions with people does not meet the regulatory definition of research with human subjects because the focus of the investigation is not the opinions, characteristics, or behavior of the individual. In other words, the information being elicited is not about the individual ('whom'), but rather is about 'what.' For example, if a researcher calls the director of a shelter for battered women and asks her for the average length of stay of the women who use the shelter, that inquiry would not meet the definition of research with human subjects because the information requested is not 'about' the director. If the researcher interviewed the director about her training, experience, and how she defines the problem of battering, then the inquiry becomes about her - and therefore 'about whom.'"
>The burden of proof lies with the person making a claim.

Exactly. And, in this case, that's you.

The OP stated: "Standardized test scores do very little to predict college success".

He's refuting a claim, not making one.

The claim he's refuting is that standardized tests are significant predictors of college success.

If you're asserting the claim is instead true, then please provide evidence that supports it.

This is actually the most technically correct answer on this page. Everyone is going by their own opinions about definitions of what constitutes human subjects research, rather than starting from the primary sources. IRB guidelines are dictated by the federal government "common rule", a common standard adopted by all institutions that receive federal funding.

"about whom" is a key criteria from the federal government to determine whether something fits the definition of human subjects research. Here's a quote from HHS:

"The phrase ‘about whom’ is important. A human subject is the person that the information is about, not necessarily the person providing the information. In the case of biospecimens, the human subject is the person from whom the specimen was taken."

https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/sites/default/files/OHRP-HHS-Learni...

Reading that, it's clear that the Princeton study does not fit the definition of human subjects research. The complainants may be able to sue for damages to the university, but not because the study was improperly classified as human subjects.
The thing that's causing issues is that many people who are objecting to the Covid vaccines are largely not anti-vax in general, and their reasons aren't really rooted in the philosophy of religious law around vaccines, but the aggressive and sudden push for these particular ones is tripping all of their mental alarms, because aggressive and sudden intrusions by untrustworthy governments are often used to accomplish evil that is extremely contrary to their religious beliefs. A court probably isn't going to be sympathetic to that argument, but I think it's what's happening.
it's not a bad example at all - the point is that even if the video is vile, it is not and should not be google's mandate to delete private files by applying some extra-judicial moral judgement.

Let the law work - possession of illegal material should be enforced by the police, not by a corporation that the user cannot hold accountable.

What did the CDC lie about? (Honest question)
The context is important: if you deal with user support (especially in the context of privacy) then someone quoting law at you is a huge red flag for an impending nightmare. I’ve dealt with irate users who actually did go as far as to file lawsuits and the email from this “study” activated my fight or flight response because of how much it (unintentionally?) mirrors the way angry litigious internet users communicate. The only worse phrase to read is “free speech”.
Collecting PII is a sufficient condition to qualify it as human subject research, but it is not a necessary condition.
What does the author think people are doing on the internet? At least some are reading.
This seems pretty cut-and-dried to me.

> A human subject means a living individual about whom an investigator (whether professional or student) who is conducting research:

> (i) Obtains information or biospecimens through intervention or interaction with the individual, and uses, studies, or analyzes the information or biospecimens

The information they were looking for is 'how does this person respond when they receive an email threatening legal action under CCPA?'

A human subject means ... a living individual ... about whom an investigator... obtains information... through intervention or interaction... and studies... the information.

That they mistakenly thought they were investigating how "an organization" responds when they receive an email is based on an erroneous assumption that an organization is itself an autonomous, sentient entity whose behavior can be studied independently of its human constituents.
I hope this fellow Ross does not become suicidal or otherwise depressed when he sees the weight of the internet coming down on him for this faux pas. Ross, none of this wil matter in a year. Or 5 years.
From the OP> A faulty data cable between the James Webb Space Telescope and launch pad equipment at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, caused the big observatory's latest launch delay, European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA representatives said in a briefing on Thursday (Dec. 16).

So, fortunately, this is a cable external to the folded telescope payload.

I would need to know what you mean by “people-gaming.”

Some people are naturally good at making themselves liked. And some people have learned to be good at making themselves liked. If it goes beyond that into outright lies and credit stealing then that is different.

I would say be careful playing politics and calling people out. It usually does backfire. You calling someone out for talking a good game and being mediocre at their job is unlikely to change anything, but it is likely to cause issues for you.

A reality of office life is people get promoted for all sorts of reasons and only one of those is being good at your job. If it is really agregious leave or try and transfer departments.
+1. The job of reviewer on shared codebases is advisory, not as a gatekeeper.

If people choose to ignore comments, then that's a behavioral issue worth escalating.
And it’s stayed this way for years. Odd no? Just look at Caltech with its over 40% Asian student demographic.

It's pretty clear that the living individuals about whom the investigators were conducting research are the operators of the websites targeted by the study. The researchers perhaps misled their IRB by stating that they were studying the behavior of "websites", rather than people, but websites don't read and respond to email.
a proportion that reflects the meritocratic criteria that university admission was founded upon (or at least, was sold as).
The video seems to make a point that is entirely wrong: that (all/most) energy in a circuit travels directly between the source and the power sinks.

Now, if you follow it carefully, it makes a different point, that is actually correct: it actually claims that some energy travels this way, since the electric field is not strictly bound to the wires, some part of it radiates out.

What the video is sorely missing is a discussion of the intensity of that field, which is going to be extremely low even 1m away from the wires, for typical batteries. These effects are absolutely important though in high power cases, where even a small fraction of the energy carried along the wire leaking to nearby wires still means you can actually light a lightbulb (or burn many other things).

One of my favourite quotes is that 'Everyone dies twice, the first time when their heart stops beating and the second time when they are thought about for the last time'
I never thought the tests were "objective." Anyone can practice and improve their score. They're biased towards students whos parents or school pushes them to practice.

In the late 1990s I practiced and bumped my score up about 100 points. Do I think it made a difference to the college I went to? Doubtful.

I think the better question is: Do the tests accurately predict if a student will do well in college? That's their point, and if schools have better ways to predict if an applicant will succeed, there's no point in using the test.
I’m not handling this in a business context. They emailed my personal address with a threat about my personal zero-revenue server I maintain for the fun of it.
If students can still submit AP test scores as part of their application, then I don't have a problem with them eliminating the SAT. AP tests are much harder than the SAT, and more representative of college material anyway. Studying for the SATs was a giant waste of time, while I actually learned a lot studying for AP tests.

Not all highschools have AP classes, so AP tests should not be required to apply, obviously. AP tests provide an objective metric to compare students who go to high schools with AP courses. For students who don't have AP courses, I think using grades is reasonable. All students can still submit additional non-required test scores and other supporting material for their application. At least now we are not wasting students time with this SAT bullshit.

I think the SATs are like Leetcode but even less useful. Obviously Leetcode is some indication that someone can program, but we're all aware that Leetcode is nothing like actual programming in a job. Similarly, the SAT is some indication that someone can do college, but nothing like actual college. I just think the cost of wasting millions of kids' hours studying for the SAT is a tragic waste of time, when they can be studying for their classes or more rigorous tests that test actual subject material like AP tests.
I was under the impression that most of Next's server side capabilities, outside of the recently introduced middleware and react server components, required a node environment. I know Vercel does offer multiregion capabilities for enterprise and a bunch of smart things to make sites faster, but its still not the same as being able to do everything on edge the way remix advertises.

I did not make any claim in that specific comment thread to begin with.

I did not assert anything either.

I'm asking the comment I directly answered to, to provide sources of the claims they made. not any parent. I never made any claims myself in that discussion thread.

This is not reddit, please don't engage into these pointless tactics that add absolutely nothing to the discussion. You have absolutely nothing to contribute but useless rhetoric. I asked for sources to whomever I responded to, nothing else.

If YOU want sources, then ask whoever made the point you are interested in yourself, not me.

zarkov99 wrote a message, SquishyPanda23 answered making a claim, I'm interested in SquishyPanda23 sourcing his claim.

If you want zarkov99 to source his claim, then ask him directly, not me. Just don't waste my time with these pointless comments of yours.

There's also the problem of the switch: Derek's arguments still work for the circuit with the switch still off, since the battery doesn't stop producing an electric field just because the switch is off.
These observations are also consistent with the collapse of scientism (I.e. appeal to scientific credibility by making irrational arguments with scientific-sounding words) as a rhetorical technique. The reduction of pseudo-rational terminology might actually indicate an increase in net rational thought.
I had an almost identical conversation with some engineering major roommates after a heavy mushroom trip in 1984. We were in four simultaneous classes that applied DiffEq, and IMHO, the first time you grasp DiffEq you feel like someone gave you a way to describe anything. So: we spent hours describing the differential equations of thought evolution, vision, perception, hearing, and existence. We hadn't encountered Hamiltonians yet, but I'm sure we would have thrown them into the mix.

Yeah, drugs will do that to you. Make you think every thought you have is pure gold.
> such projects would easily be funded

You must mean publicly funded, which I don't dispute.

> the economy would be a multiple of its current size

Why? I haven't heard reasoning presented in this thread as to why the negative consequence of removing incentive for private capital to invest in research doesn't outweigh the positive consequence of fostering an IP commons that can be leveraged by everyone. Maybe you can lay out the case for that.

Isn't it the best to have a middle ground where the worst parts of IP protection (e.g patent duration and insulin prices) are tamed, and the beneficial parts are kept (e.g. not letting people take wholesale another company's codebase, and allowing private ownership of movie rights for at least 5-10 years)?
Testing word processing software on your users via beta is really no problem.

Testing autodrive software on your users, which might kill them, is wrong.

Add in that the messaging that the car will drive itself (ie that it's something other than level 2 automation) and the poor quality of the software and it's not hard to see that Tesla's behaviour is self-serving and repugnant.

Well, I guess that's where we'll agree to disagree, because I didn't.

As I see it, AP courses are test prep taking over the entirety of the curriculum. That's way worse.

> If the schools remove academic testing credentials OP loses the ability to use test scores as a means of entry, which would have potentially levelled the playing field.

This doesn't track. College admissions tests are a huge area of concern when it comes to institutionalized racism (due to the racial wealth gap). They don't test anything other than an applicant's ability to do well on the test, and that is primarily determined by (a) the applicant's to spend time studying for the test and (b) the applicant's ability to utilize resources to study for the test.

(a) tips testing in favor of the wealthy because poor people cannot afford to spend time studying, and (b) tips testing in favor of the wealthy because poor people cannot afford to spend money on test prep materials.

Compound this with the fact that the tests are fairly expensive themselves, so even retaking the test is often out of the question for people with few means, compared to wealthy students who can retake the test as many times as they like.

The idea that entrance exams balanced things in favor of people from lower socioeconomic classes is, and always has been, a bunch of malarkey.
