There should be Nutrition Facts but for scientific trials. Independent agency just publishing quality assessments of the trial.

This should be an async non blocking evaluation. The statisticians who do it should be anonymous by default. There should be an appeals process for a scientist to explain why an unconventional new method is actually robust.

There should not be a single number published by this process, but rather a list of stats that speak to the overall quality of the trial on many dimensions (power, sources of bias, etc).

Only information that would not be the same on 99% of trials should be written on this label (no sec style everything is a risk word vomit disclosures).

There should not be a pre-emptive application for a label - it can only be gotten after paper submission to reduce gaming.

There should be an independent advisory org that scientists can literally call to ask for advice on structuring the trials. These calls must not be disclosed. Much like farmers can call the government to ask for help on xyz crop problem.

And these labels should never be used as the primary source of punishment. Any and all sanctions/penalties/dismissals must go through a new review process done by a different group.

Any scientist who gets a label in a particular year should be given a vote to review the review agency on several dimensions. These aggregate reviews should be published broadly but not trigger any automatic consequences.

Clear, accessible information is the basis for any self regulating human system. We need more of it in this field.

Oh. Now I understand the purpose of grabbing a file list first. That would allow for creating both old + new dirs first, prior to any move attempt.

I'll think it over. I'm kind of on the fence about it at first though. Lets see what I reckon after sleeping on it.

Well, it is a gas at room temperature. Might be a good science project for a student to confirm what we think we know. The taste of chlorine does dissipate and that was good enough for me.
As opposed to new death traps?

Plenty of new vehicles are a danger to others, and quite possibly far more so than an old 914. The driver of a 914 is probably going to be pretty careful about damaging it and will drive it prudently as a result, it also weighs (much) less than a modern vehicle and as a consequence will do less damage. Lack of built in safety and mid engine (so no engine between you and your partner in a collision, coupled with a nice hammer behind you that will use the other car in that accident you're in as the anvil and you as the workpiece) will be yet another reason why an owner will be careful about the situations they put themselves in. They'll likely do fewer km per year in than they would in a modern car.

As a cyclist I'd rather encounter someone in their classic 914 than the local lawn service jockey in his Dodge RAM flooring it at every corner.
I don't know but inspect tools just irritate me soo much in Firefox that I don't like to use the browser then at all. I started my career in Firefox and still remember you had to have an extension for debugging HTML, the editing style was fun and useful.

My usage changed a lot from then, now I need:

- Tracing graph for network events in Firefox which it does not have.

- Applications tab that would show me the status of workers, cache ... is just plain in Firefox

- And UI seems condensed, I guess I just got used to a more relaxed Chrome.

- The whole debacle we don't want you to install a web app as a shortcut because it's bad for some reason. (They lost me initially with this years ago when I still had Linux).

It's a shame but Firefox is just not what I need and prefer anymore.

In some ways, absolutely not - precision is a huge challenge with an indirect method like fMRI - but this example is over a decade old now: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130346/

Fig4 shows the letter M on the cortical surface, where the stimulus accounted for the effects of foveal magnification (foveal vision gets more cortical space). Keep in mind that we now, in theory, have stronger magnets, better head coils (the part that picks up the image information), and better sequences (the software that manipulates the magnets to produce the images) so we could do even better than that these days.

> Isn't Norway a massive producer of oil?

Yes, of oil and gas, and they're not producing as much as they could, for environmental reasons. They're holding off on production.

> And I think they're quite environmentally conscious.

They are, they could produce more.

Similar story for the UK and the Netherlands with North Sea gas.

Not record rates, standard rates and declining very slowly (2023 is actually better than 2022, shown here):

They did mess up the transition with the early decommissioning of nuclear power plants, corruption is probably to blame.
> Some people don't drive them, they just enjoy working on them

Yep, I bought a '72 Triumph GT6 a while ago and drove it just enough to get it the few miles home. That thing really was a death trap and made this 914 look brand new. This was about five years ago, and it's still not back on the road. I'm working on it as I can put money into it and enjoying every moment.

> And then yes, some people drive them.

For fun, I drive my '86 Porsche 951. I put about six months of work into that, and it is reliable and drives beautifully.
This is a problem everywhere where the raw data isn't released (suitably anonymized).

In cognitive science, psychology, even computer science / ai / ml, business.

And the problem with rejected papers getting in somewhere else while being total garbage is pervasive. I've rejected a lot of papers because they were mathematically or statistically bogus only to see them get published elsewhere where reviewers were not so careful (a few times in Nature and Science).

We need an open science movement where you must release everything with your paper. The full pipeline to reconstruct every single result from the raw data. No hiding data. No hiding fmri scans. No "our code only runs on our machine". Etc.

The only reason I care about Linux market share is because that’s the metric that hardware manufacturers and software vendors use to decide whether to provide Linux support.

This is why android and chrome os don’t count. Those operating systems are different enough from my fedora workstation installation that proprietary drivers and software won’t be useful to me.

On the other hand someone using another distro like Debian or Arch does help.

What extension do you use for vertical tabs on FF? I tried tree style tabs and sideberry but liked neither.
It's nice to hear that they are not falling behind. I switched to Firefox after Opera started to decline. I rely heavily on multi-account containers, but it is a pity that they can't run their own engine on iOS.
I have nothing against the dev tools in Firefox, but it is way easier to google issues for chrome dev tools.
The return from c_str cannot be used everywhere you would normally use a null terminated string, because the return is const.

For example, you couldn't pass it to strtok, or any other function that needs to even temporarily modify the string.

ChromeOS seems very interesting to me because it has managed to achieve a degree of security that no other desktop OS (Windows, macOS, and of course other desktop Linux, which are the least secure of the bunch) can even approach. It has been designed from the ground up to be secure: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/HEAD/sec...

- Verified boot backed by TPM.

- System services are heavily sandboxed: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/HEAD/san...

- New userspace is written in Rust: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/HEAD/dev...

- Web pages loaded on Chrome have no access to the device's filesystem, nor to user files.

- Android apps run inside a restricted container.

- Linux apps run inside a VM, which leverages KVM and a custom Rust VM monitor.

I think it'd be great if someone made a de-Googled fork of ChromeOS without all the Google telemetry and bloatware, because it'd be the perfect Linux distro for security-conscious individuals.

But that makes high speed chases impractical as you have to keep stopping for gas
As a contractor in the UK you can do that too, contribute pre-tax earnings up to a certain amount per year into your pension. Definitely a good plan.

But yes, the difference seems to be that if you’re caught out it’s way worse than just paying back the difference, and the whole thing is very murky.
>then you have no one to do manual jobs

And that's fine, because those jobs can either be automated, outsourced, done domestically (ie. driving yourself rather than getting delivery), or at worst case paying more. All things being equal I'd rather have a chemical engineer who can do chemical engineering and deliver pizza, than someone who can only deliver pizza.
Lately I've run across a few of these--perhaps through HN--and I couldn't help but feel that they all exaggerated the "feel" of a 90s website, more of a caricature of our stereotypes of the era than a recreation of what an actual indication of what most actual personal pages looked like (the non-blank ones anyway).
Why not a zeppelin?

I will always vouch for Firefox, It's been my primary browser since 2018 and there's no turning back. However its worth noting that while my FF windows experience has been painless I cannot say the same for Linux.
This is an insane way to think about art. Of course art exists that entertains, and it is art. To say that art can't entertain is an absolutely drab way to look at things - it almost assumes that only negative emotions can be transferred through art.
I believe this domain started at the big 4.x version drop which was the turn of a new era in the Browser Wars. I remember using Minefield because the new features were too tempting to miss & this was before evergreen versioning became the norm.
So, it's not "weird and controlling" like the thread OP stated but rather "honey, can we afford this?" Well that's kind of a let down.
For me, it just lacked features, and the organization itself seems to be more and more focused on political advocacy rather than making a solid tool. I don't remember when Firefox last did a UI change that made me go "FUCK YES, that's awesome". Instead they publish paeans about how they hired a sneaker designer to do temporary color the-- sorry, colorways for their browser.

A lot of the other work is shit like how we need more than deplatforming (one of the examples linked by Mozilla was algorithmically preferencing sources Mozilla liked - conveniently Mozilla wouldn't have to dirty their hands by manipulating what we see on the Internet)

If a browser's mobile version is way, way behind, their UX team's ideas of good UX not aligned with mine, and they want to decide what I see on the 'net, why bother? There are other fish in the pond, teams focused on actually making good tools for users. They understand they're blacksmiths and make hammers rather than confetti paper.
I hope you aren't accusing me of bad faith!

The Guardian has been a supporter of the Israeli government since before there was an Israeli government. Nobody could accuse the Israeli government of being left-wing.

The Guardian was part of the coalition that hounded Jeremy Corbyn out of the Labour leadership, because he was too "left wing". Starmer refused to let him stand in the seat he's represented for decades; The Guardian strongly backs Starmer, who represents the most right-wing elements in Labour.

I'm happy to discontinue this discussion, not because I suspect you of bad faith, but because political discussions aren't generally on-topic on HN.

Slavery abolition is a progressive position, and in the Civil War era the Republican party was the more progressive party. In the 20th century there was an ideological shift in the Democratic and Republican parties.

It's pretty clear that the modern Democratic party was the one pushing for civil rights.

"The transition into today's Democratic Party was cemented in 1948, when Harry Truman introduced a pro-civil rights platform and, in response, many Democrats walked out and formed the Dixiecrats. Most rejoined the Democrats over the next decade, but in the 1960s, Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. The civil rights movement had also deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, and Republican politicians developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South who had traditionally supported the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party. These approaches are known as the Southern strategy. Anti-civil rights members left the Democratic Party in droves, and Senator Strom Thurmond, the Dixiecrats' presidential candidate from 1948, joined the Republican Party." [1]

Also, look at a map of the Confederate states. Look at a map today. Why are they mostly red states today? The people/families that lived there then mostly stayed, except for the millions of African Americans that migrated to the north.

You shouldn’t marry someone you’re not comfortable talking to About difficult things.

you keep saying that, but generally you can't know how your partner reacts until the issue actually comes up and especially with finances it rarely comes up before you start living together which often doesn't happen until you get married.

it is impossible to vet your partner on every aspect.
when you get married you start to build trust, and you find out your partners sensitive points and learn to avoid them. that's not even an issue of trust, but a question of how you communicate to keep a healthy relationship. in my case i simply stopped the detailed accounting and everything was fine. in the case here the person had difficulty dealing with that. we don't know why, or how they could resolve that, but telling them that they should have predicted that and not married this person is really unreasonable.

This trend is so incredibly frustrating and will likely be the final straw that makes me go back to linux on my desktop instead of windows.

I can put up with many things, but not this.

The machine already reboots for goodness knows what reason. Probably some update that someone decided was far more critical than my machine being up.

Also why can't updates run on windows without a reboot? We're getting to the point where other than design, windows feels like the volunteer run OS and that's not me saying the linux desktop design is bad by any measure, just that I prefer windows.
