> Choosing a null model for this purpose requires more assumptions than doing null hypothesis testing with frequentist statistics.

How so?

I could choose the same null model that predicts that the observation is distributed as, say, a standard Gaussian. What additional assumptions are required?
Nice to see that a lot of people working on this topic!

> IE wasn't an inferior browser at the beginning either.
It ended up a turd browser with it's own unique quirks bundled everywhere by a company with a vested interest of hindering the web.
It's different though, in that this adjective redefines the noun it's being applied to, away from the usual understanding.

Consider "homosexual woman" and "heterosexual woman". Both describe an aspect of "woman" - her sexual orientation - without changing what "woman" means.

Compare "cis woman" and "trans woman" though. The former refers to a female and the latter to a male. This changes "woman" away from the sex-based definition that the vast majority of people understand, to one where a subset of men claim to be women.

So by using "cis", this implies an agreement with this world view that men who call themselves women somehow actually are women. A view that most people don't actually hold.

This is also why in radical feminist circles they prefer terms like "trans-identified male" instead of "trans woman", to avoid adopting the linguistic contortions of the oppressor.

When I learned html as a kid in 1998 IE was better than Netscape in my mind.

Netscape had lame <blink> while IE had the very cool <marquee> instead.
Of course, but I don't think the parent poster is talking about that.

I don't, I occasionally use my phone but it usually takes too long to get it out, figure out where the calculator app is, rotate to go to scientific...

Mostly I use bc or python. Julia is potentially a better choice but it's not in my muscle memory.
Intrinsic semiconductors or the semiconductors that are lightly doped with impurities have temperature ranges where the concentration of the free charge carriers increases exponentially with increasing temperature, like in the NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistors.

This causes a decrease in resistance towards higher temperatures, so it has nothing to do with any explanation for a decrease in resistance towards lower temperatures.

The diodes have increasing inverse currents towards higher temperatures, which also has nothing to do with any explanation for increasing currents towards lower temperatures.
maybe add a VAD in front of it? faster-whisper uses silero VAD.
Most of the problems I faced in the projects I work are caused by developers working only and exclusively with Chrome and not bothering to check their work on Safari and Firefox. The issues that were found with Safari were easy to fix or work around.
Nothing compares to the painful process during ~2005-2010 when it came to support IE6.
Thank you, cheers :)
Maybe you're not aware but almost surely is a technical term - which makes the statement correct.

Just like you cannot be absolutely certain to get heads if you flip a coin enough times even though it will happen almost surely.
I use Droid48 on my phone, and on my computer I fire up Guile to use as a forward Polish notation calculator.

He expected the calculator to work like an rpn, but it was infix only, which he'd never used before. I guess the 2 euro per second time pressure must've got to him.
What? Firefox absolutely gave us DRM, encrypted media extensions, solely because they thought people would stop using it without support. They'll follow chrome on extensions, again, and the new DRM, attestation.
It's a fairly common term in many languages. It just means "English speaking nations". It's similar to "caucasian" meaning white (who cares any more that they crossed the Caucasus? but the term sticks).
There are opportunity costs to decreasing production. There are points where you are achieving economies of scale for your suppliers that allow you to negotiate lower prices. Scalpers could be seen as a perverse source of marketing. I am not going to pretend though that I have a very strong understanding of luxury streetware firms.

I appreciate you attempting to introduce some nuance to a discussion about goods. I would imagine that Supreme’s marketing team would be pretty savvy and know how to hit the mark.

My point is more about their determination to run obsfucated code on their users computers and the intersection between that and google’s vision for the browser.
it would cost a lot of money, especially if carriers limit the number of numbers you can call each month before an additional charge (100-200 numbers / month then extra fee ?)

Anything like this would still have to be affordable enough for call centers and businesses. A pharmacy can easily have 10-20 lines: A few for the cash registers, a couple for the office, and a bunch for the pharmacy (they might still have a fax line too). It is easy to see how a call center or a large department store (wal-mart) might reach 100 lines.

And on top of that, you'd somehow have to make this international and get other folks to enforce this - and this is assuming the scam call centers are following the law in ways that the country in question can actually enforce.

I always like the sound of the simple solutions, but every time I get look into these details, I can understand why they don't just work.

This is a stupid advice.

In software industry we rely on the community to carry the large share of our "expenses". A company that manufactures medical equipment, let's say, pulseox, would normally need well... maybe five engineers working on the project. If suddenly, they also need to maintain a Linux distribution used for their device, they'd need like fifty. This would make pulsox prohibitively expensive and the company would go out of business. Only companies who'd be able to manufacture pulseox would be the companies who are already doing Linux maintainer work internally. Which would eventually lead to a monopoly, and the prices would still shoot through the roof.

But it doesn't have to be this way. If we collectively understand that there's a problem with the absence of real long-term-support releases, then many smaller companies can survive and produce cheap equipment.

Finally, there's no "natural" rate at which software needs to upgrade. There's no reason it shouldn't upgrade slower or faster. The claim the author makes is that hardware used to fall apart in about five years, and that could've been used to justify the short-term support it was getting from software... about 20-30 years ago. But things changed, and we learned how to make hardware that easily lasts 15 years and now we need to re-think how we are dealing with this fact.

No, the ground was stalling for time to prepare for war, with a German Nazi establishment who was openly anti-communist and anti-USSR.

The "anti-democracy" communists did more to get rid of Nazis and fascism than all of Europe and US combined (the latter, especially, came late to the party, with token gestures like Normandy, and have since used movie after movie to instill in popular culture the idea they "won the war"). And had a much bigger toll.
Ah, interesting - this NIST page uses °R, which is at odds with the explanation in the other page on Kelvin (which doesn’t mention Rankine). I’m not sure if that’s because there’s a strong convention to use the degree symbol with Rankine or if there’s an additional reason not mentioned by the Kelvin page

People keep making tiny or zero progress. Then holding parties and acting like the problem is solved. Then getting shocked when it isn't.

ESG is nice, but it doesn't cure everything, at best it helps empower some people trying to do good. You should not expect it to "work" on a large, statistically significant scale. It was never going to.

The Paris accord is another example: it was an agreement to all just do our own thing and only what we want. So obviously nothing has been achieved.

People really struggle with the idea that something small is not everything...
The issue is not that it’s heavily subsidised. It’s that it has piss poor results for what it costs the French public compared to what’s done by others.

Bourdieu didn’t need to propose anything. He proved data in hand that the system was unfair. A quick look at the current situation of France should tell you all you need to know about how effective the system actually is.

But finding ideas is not that hard. We could just get our heads out of our asses and copy what’s done in a country having better results. Spoiler alert, the answer is not a system generalising the structure of military schools to whole areas of higher educations put in place by a military dictatorship to curb the emergence of dissenting elites in the university system. It still baffle me that this has to be pointed to the average French. This country really deserves what it has become.
Yeah me too.

What you mean is telemetry, that is something seperately. And it is also enabled by default( and also annoys me, but less so).

But firefox studies means, (or can mean), that firefox will track you and sell that data to ad companies, if you "allow" it. Which everyone does, by default. This behavior from a "privacy orientated" company is close to a scam by me. Because a normal user who believes the privacy promise, won't know of, nor find these settings.

And apparently now there is a third setting(on Firefox mobile, but not on desktop), that at least openly tells you they share tracking data with a ad companies.

edit: ok, that is weirdly funny. "Adjust" the ad company firefox is apparently working together with, has a website, that does not really load in firefox at all, but only in chrome

There’s no such thing. You use a Chromium that doesn’t report data back to Google, but the entire project is a Google project that pushes Google’s aims on the web.
Yes. With combinations, you get a combinatorial explosion.

With permutations, you get—IIRC, the factorial?—which is much, much worse. Mistaking permutations for combinations isn’t a small error.

Yes and no - IE was hated in part for deviating from standard/showing weird behaviour. But more than that it was dragging its feet on implementing new CSS and JS standards so they couldn't be used for years after introduction. It was nightmare.

We can see exactly Mozilla’s position on JPEG-XL: https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#jpegxl

JPEG-XL includes features and performance that might differentiate it from other formats, but the benefits it provides are not significant enough on their own to justify the cost of adding another raster image format to the Web.
I solved the security problem by using Firefox in VMs on Qubes OS. Works great.
That channel is great, but as with many I suspect that there is some sort of "shadow industry" that creates great YouTube channels "from scratch".

If you compare inheritance machining to e.g. this old tony, the later has years of growth with the videos getting better of the years as he refines his formula. In comparison inheritance machining just popped up with perfect content, script and video editing.

There are other examples of channels that just popped up that start at a very high quality level that I suspect some third party involved in that process.

I think that the effect is from the fact that you're sampling from all possible outcome history paths. To realise the positive expected value, your sample needs to include some of the increasingly rare possibilities where you gain enormously. This means that if your population is large compared to the number of branches (2^rounds) then you probably do sample that and the overall gain is positive. If your number of branches is large compared to your population, you probably don't sample the branches where you make lots of money, and your overall gain is negative.

Google currently plays Apple billions ($15B supposedly) to be the default search engine on Safari, and another half a billion a year for Firefox. For Chrome, with their gigantic market share, they'd pay billions (just like they pay Apple).

Browsers are complicated, but let's not pretend that that kind of money wouldn't be enough.
Agreed, this is the safe approach if you create elements using document.createElement().
For cases where you want to generate some HTML as strings to embed within your component's template string (e.g. in a React-like manner using Array.prototype.map), you would have to escape the variables provided by the back end in case they contain HTML tags which could be used as an XSS attack.

Although such sanitization function is trivial to implement... In my previous comment, I mentioned using document.createElement() as a fallback if in doubt. It's safe to create the elements with the DOM API and using the textContent property as you suggest. That's why I don't see sanitization as a strong excuse to avoid using plain Web Components.

Not silly, human psychology I think. I remember reading a thing a while back where appearance of response feels faster even when slower. You can try this yourself in your favorite language by having an app with three buttons:

- first button waits 9 seconds and then displays "done"

- second button updates a progress bar once a second for 10 seconds then displays "done"

- third button updates the progress bar once every 100ms for 10 seconds then displays "done"

See which one feels fastest
co-governance isn't an issue, it's a political hit and media frenzy based on recommendations made in a paper that were never committed to or brought near policy. As far as actual policies on Maori political representation, National by and large support them.

Three waters was a PR disaster for Labour, no doubt about it. But they had some good ideas in there and the rhetoric around it is ridiculous. We could sorely do with revising the water system. I do not understand the "local assets" argument, I don't give a damn if the local council or another state entity provides the water system. Local councils hate it because it's pretty much the only thing most of them actually do.

Education changes: every damn government messes about with the curriculum. I was going to mention it in my previous post but it got too long. National messed about with it, the previous Labour govt messed with it. No political party seems to be able to bear the idea of just leaving it alone for a few years and collecting some evidence.

> If labour get voted in again you’re gonna see a lot of businesses leave NZ

No, they won't. That's a ridiculous statement. Some people will leave NZ over the next few years and a subset of those will take their business with them, and the flavour of govt won't make a difference, we just have a particular economy and that won't change. Neither Labour nor National have the balls to make the necessary investments we could really do with to diversify away from tourism and agriculture to higher value industry like tech, which we're reasonably good at due to having an existing high income population and social systems in place. Labour did one good thing in that space, which was drive Fibre internet across the country.

Labour and National both pander to their bases - well of course they do, they're political parties. I'm sorry that you voted one way and regret it, but I'm puzzled what you expected of Labour, and what you expect of National. Neither of them will solve the housing issue until the majority of voters are renters seeking a better housing situation. One or the other is going to be forced to implement something like three waters (under a different name) eventually. Each of them will fiddle with the education system and people will be unhappy about it.

My advice - vote for TOP or another small party that won't ever get near power. Then you'll never need regret getting it wrong.

"The problem I see with this idea is that MS doesn't really have much leverage to push Edge on people any more"

But they do it any way they can. I never intented to open edge even once, but through various sketchy things, I had it open way too many times.

Could you provide some sources for the true facts you're asserting?
Of course that's just my hunch why he always visited home country in the secret.

The evidence is

direct:

- the original police report of Miroslav Dvořáček's arrest

witness:

- Iva Militká, one of the persons involved in the arrest

indirect:

- police lecture from 1952 made by interior minister Jerman. Kundera is only mentioned by initials but it's another piece of the puzzle https://www.lidovky.cz/domov/novy-objev-udani-v-kauze-milana...

There's a huge Kundera biography written by Jan Novák. Critics say it's biased but it's well sourced. It paints Kundera's character as someone who could easily do it.

I guess the main evidence is the police report. Secret police was of course known to blackmail people and fabricate things. Everybody accused of collaborating with them used the defense that all documents were made up. There were other several high profile people that were accused and used this defense but eventually enough evidence was discovered and the people admitted guilt.

With Kundera, the "blackmail" angle is weak. The record was not attached to his file, it was forgotten in the file of pilot Dvořáček who was arrested. Also at that time Kundera was just communist student functionary, not someone famous worth blackmailing.
What does the “pipe” value mean in the output of “ping”? (2009)
I think his comments like "if you have it in your fool head we should pay money for it" says that he expects it for free.

I also think if the products he produces need 15 year support he should choose operating systems that provide that, for example QNX comes close. Instead he chooses to complain about a OS that have never ever promised anything like this and that he can get for free.

It’s predatory to make obscene profits bankrupting people over unavoidable healthcare costs. But YC didn’t create this problem, Private Equity did. YC is just trying solve it with a new business model. Ideally the US govt would solve it, but since they aren’t, a private sector approach is the next best thing.
