I'm not a fan of RMS, but as you noted, his blurb in the talk wasn't "Javascript the language is not free", or even "Javascript the ecosystem is not free", it's about the privacy invading factor of JS in a modern web browser. Since, as you said, software can be free and still invade your privacy.

He just doesn't want this GNU project to include support for a language whose primary purpose seems to be invading privacy -- even if it has a lot of great secondary purposes and a good open source ecosystem. Given that the GNU/FSF projects are all about advocacy in the area of software freedom and privacy, it seems like a reasonable perspective to have. Yeah, RMS definitely takes things to an extreme, but I don't see the "JS is implicitly evil" thing you're calling out, just refusing to appear to endorse or support something that goes against his principles.

And of course ironically enough those very principles mean he (should be...) perfectly happy with the emacs-ng fork, since that's part of the freedom he's advocating for.

That doesn't explain the behavior of off-patent drugs being jacked up in price on a whim or near identical variants being made to extend patent protection and maintain the predatory pricing of the name brand.

Does being terminally online contribute more or less to this? I'm still not sure, but leaning towards more.

It's made of sand with traces of silver and lead all encased in glass. It has mandatory recycling laws in civilised countries, you're welcome to implement them (or just wait until the recycling supply chains make used panels valuable enough that it happens anyway). And there and an order of magnitude less of it than the uranium leaching fluid that gets left in unsealed dams in kadapa, or dams with no flood mitigation in Husab, or pumped directly into the ground water in Inkai or Kakadu.

That's what he said, more or less: "The problem comes not from the language JavaScript, but from the fact that browsers, by default, ..."

> one assumes there is a correct answer, and presumably that is A, because there is a clear argument for it (you wish to sample from the population distribution, which can be viewed as a mixture of an initial-respondents distribution and an initial-non-respondents distribution and so you cannot claim to have sampled from the mixture until you've sampled from both mixture components, since they are probably statistically distinct)

But you can't survey non-respondents--because they don't respond!

What option A will actually result in is having a mixture of people who responded on the first try, and people who responded on the second try. In principle, neither of those will be representative of non-respondents. Whether this creates a significant problem in practice will depend on lots of other assumptions.

My own first choice would be either E or D, depending on (a) whether you have enough resources available to send 30 more emails, and (b) how much statistical power you are sacrificing with a sample of only 90 instead of 120. (If you were doing things properly, the number of emails you send out initially would be larger than the actual number you needed to get enough statistical power, by some factor that would depend on what fraction of people you expected to respond. In which case D would be the obvious option.)
I know it doesn't feel that way right now, but there is probably no time in history where racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, religious hatred, slavery, etc. were less normalized than right now.

These things are sadly all too common, there's lots of work to do, and we must not be complacent about past successes.

But when I was a kid, homosexuality was illegal. Twenty years ago gay fear and stupid women were typical jokes on most sitcoms. Some of our grandmothers could not vote. Swimming pools and schools - schools! - were racially segregated within a lifetime.

Looking back in the HN archives[1], the last v-280 story on HN was from May 2019, 3.5 years ago. There were quite a few mentions 5 years ago! But before that... 10 years ago was the initial reveal[2]!

Don’t sell yourself short. Perhaps your face, like mine, can be used kind of like the intentionally implausible stories of Nigerian scams.
Here is my answer:

The expected response rate of this year's freshman class to the questionnaire is 75 % (90 out of 120).

Option B, "Start over with a new sample of 120 students from this year’s freshman class." is on average not improving the situation, because we must assume that the most likely outcome is again a response rate of 75 %.

Option D, "Use the 90 questionnaires that were submitted as the final sample." is, of course, also not improving the situation.

Option E, "Randomly choose 30 more students from this year’s freshman class and email them the questionnaire." would give us on average 30*0.75=22.5 more returned questionnaires, which would improve the representativness of the survey in comparison to Option B and D.

Option A, "Send another email to those 30 students who did not respond encouraging them to complete the questionnaire." is the most interesting one. If we assume that the missing data from this 30 people is not random, in other words: that there is a correlation between not responding and some of the answers to the questions, it would be important to attempt to get as much of this missing data in a second call. The unknown figure is the response rate to such a second call.[1] But even if it is below 75 % it could increase the representativeness of the survey more than Option E, because it would be the only chance to represent first-time-non-respondents in the survey. However, we must also assume that the conscientiousness of the answers does not differ between first and second time respondents. Under these assumptions, I would choose Option A.

[1] This is why we cannot really be sure that Option E would not be better in a specfic case. If the second-time response rate is 0 %, Option E would trivially be better; if the second-time response rate is 75 % or more, Option A would be clearly better. Somewhere inbetween is the sweet spot were the advantage in terms of representativeness swiches from Option E to Option A. Where exactly this spot is depents on the unkown parameter of how much actually the answers of first-time-respondents and second-time-respondents differ.
Agreed. I'd hold off a bit if I were you, unless your current battery is completely busted. Might even be worth seeing if you can replace the battery. The S62 is over 2 years old, and considering Cat hasn't updated it past Android 11, they may have something new on the horizon--unless they plan to exit the phone market entirely, of course, which I guess is also a possibility.
Why is this front page worthy? This is the academic equivalent of a shitpost imo.
Chernobyl is basically a wildlife preserve now that humans don't live there. The dangers of nuclear accidents have been somewhat overstated. They don't create radioactive hellholes where nothing lives for thousands of years. That's simply false. It's just that humans don't wish to risk the higher cancer rates and birth defects. Nature though can manage that.
I mean sure. If you think someone is lying to you then it doesn't matter.

But I disagree with "getting a reminder means its not anonymous" its completely orthogonal.

> Keep the material in dry cask storage until the photon emitters have mostly decayed away, at most 600 years. If the US were to generate all its electricity from nuclear, a 600 year decay time means she would have to devote at most 21 square miles — about the size of Manhattan — to dry cask storage. This is based on the Histore system, Figure 5, which needs one acre to store 580 tons of used fuel.

The price per gigawatt dropped precipitously in plants with construction starting in 1965, and remained flat until three mile island. They got bigger and more complex, but produced more power and the cost per watt was the same. Only until after three mile island did cost start to balloon. Costs were almost entirely under $2 billion per GW until three mile island. Your sources do not contradict this, I have checked.

He had devoted a part of the talk about browsers too, starting with:

I think people are focusing on the Javascript part alone too much, when he made it clear numerous times that he is talking about the browser model, not javascript language itself.

You can't get answers from the no-show group, because they don't respond! You are just creating three groups instead of two: those who responded on the first try, those who responded on the second try, and those who don't respond at all.
There's a TON of progress that could be made without any changes in meat eating. Animal husbandry only accounts for a few % of emissions in the U.S. for example.
His complaint about JavaScript doesn’t really make sense on several levels.

(1) Things websites do that he doesn’t like aren’t all done by JavaScript. Some of the most insidious tracking on the web is done with script-free methods like tracking pixels, link decoration parameters, redirect bounces, etc.

(2) his comments about the horror of downloading and running programs betray a lack of understanding of the security model of the web.

(2) His logic amounts to: “a language is used in a programming environment where some bad things sometimes happen. Therefore don’t use the language for anything else.” This is childish purity based non-logic. Should we also avoid HTTP? CSS? I hear a lot of browsers are implemented in combos of C, C++, and Rust. Should we avoid all those too?

It's pretty limited, only a single temperature measurement, no min/max scale you can see (it just auto calibrates), has a terrible rechargable battery and doesn't work with an iPhone case.. but I got it for the bargain basement price of $100 AUD ($67 USD) on Marketplace.

My interest is more related to home effeciency (looking at gaps in insulation etc) but has been fun in the kitchen too.

I'd love one of the newer ones but haven't wanted to justify the cost and happy with my bargain aquisiton :)

I feel like this is an understatement. Improvements in compilers and hardware have made software developers incredibly lazy.
> Only choice A tries to solve this problem.

No, it doesn't. It doesn't get any information from non-responders; it can't, because they don't respond! It only gets information from some people who respond on the second try instead of the first.
Thinking about it, that makes sense, given how gargantuan Chick-Fil-A is, but the two chains leave very different impressions to me. Chick-Fil-A feels like they're going out of their way to make it seem like there are friendly humans running everything, to the point of having employees with tablets stand outside at the drive-thru to take your order; lately, they've even been laying off the robotic "my pleasure" thing. McDonald's, on the other hand, feels like a clumsy extraterrestrial sidling up and saying "What is up, my fellow human, amirite?" The one by me is obsessed with pushing the little how-are-we-doing survey on the receipt; I don't think I've ever been there and not been given one. When I see their TV commercials, I keep expecting a flurry of tentacles to burst out of the smiley-person suits. But under the hood, they're both furiously optimizing everything they can.
> This construction means there can't be an upper bound N because then step 2 couldn't be applied to N.

Bendegem discusses this problem at length in his paper [1]. As programming-heavy site, I assume we're all aware that computers have finite resources. The universe too has finite resources so no matter how big a computer you build, it too will be finite. Therefore the infinity that is so pervasive in math is unphysical in a very real sense. So what would math look like and how would theorems change if this finiteness were formalized? That's what various flavours of finitism aim to achieve.

So to get back to your question as to the nature of the naturals, it seems evident that yes, at some point, you literally can fail construct the natural number N+1 if you are given N, because you will run out of particles in the universe. What implications this will have for various theorems will be interesting for sure, but it isn't clear yet because finitism isn't given much funding.

Edit: however, it's clear that some very unintuitive results follow from the infinities embedded in mathematics, and that a finitist approach resolves some of them. For instance, the argument that "0.9999... = 1" is true in classical mathematics while this equality is arguably not true under strict finitism because "0.999..." does not exist, because infinite objects do not exist, and so it will never equal 1.

You're looking at a tiny elite slice of the modern West (I mean, sitcoms? Seriously?) and taking it as representative of the whole world.

It doesn't surprise me. Especially among men over 40, on average gay men pay much more attention to their appearance, grooming, etc. than straight men, because men whether gay or straight tend to be more visually oriented than women and looks matter to the people they want to attract. Of course like any generalization there are many exceptions to this.
