What did the study test then? (I don't have a subscription to "Psychological Science", so can't read the full text, at least, not from the above link).

From the abstract on the first expt (and from the story linked here on HN), it seems unambiguous. My understanding is: one actress offered then refused the toy (intentional); a second actress offered but accidently dropped the toy (unintentional). Later, the baby treated the two actresses differently.

My thinking was that it would be impossible to control for the effect I described (i.e. the Clever Hans Effect), given the social nature of what they were investigating. You probably already know about Clever Hans and so didn't read the wikipedia article I linked, but it's pretty entertaining/interesting, and addresses the problems of controlling for the effect in some social experiments (EDIT: what I'm referring to is that it says in some social experiments they can't control for it just have to accept the effect may be there).

It would be really cool if they had a clever way of controlling for it (I've come across a few very clever experimental designs in Psych studies), so I was wondering if they did or not, and if so how.

I didn't think the conductors of the experiment were incompetent.

Thanks for rereading my comment.
This. For a week I was wondering why I was getting 300+ pings to city local Team Fortress 2 servers, and in the same week why I hit 50% of my allocated traffic for the month (Australia). The cause? Spotify continuously streaming data.
No idea about your access problem, but posts like these are why it came to mind: http://blog.sethroberts.net/category/personal-science/ http://blog.sethroberts.net/category/health/
>>"I hope the actions of hijacking Justine's account help draw attention to how big a deal this is," the hacker wrote on the social network. "I suspect a lot of people would not have taken it seriously otherwise. Be thankful that the person who got access to the server information was kind enough to let you all know (and at least try and be funny with it) instead of simply sitting on the information."

It's not clear to me that the hacker was malicious.

That said, governments are _not_ hacker-friendly like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Never hack the government thinking you're doing them a favor, they will never see it that way. You will be arrested.

That design is a lot better. But I'd still recommend you look a little more at some professional themes. Also the logo could use some typographic love :)

But a network in which every peer is connected to the same ethernet switch isn't flat, it's a star. But a star network doesn't scale as well as you claim.

Behind the scenes to make it scalable perhaps you build p2p connections, this would make the diagram be more like a complete graph, which it has its own scaling problems.

To solve it, perhaps you have stateless or on-demand connections, so the actual number of connections is lower than the worst case. Or perhaps you promote peers to super-peers and build a stars of stars network.

A couple of simple diagrams answer these questions and quickly let me decide whether your solution is suitable.
I'm curious, what tests do you use to check how acidic your tissues are? How have you changed your diet, and what impact did it have on your body's acidity?
I would advise you to first speak with the Dwolla team to find out if they support your country yet.

Their transparency is 10 times better than anything else I've ever come across, they are cheap too.
I like the modularity idea, I don't know if I'd want to be swapping components five times a day though.

If the idea is just to have the same files/data on all your "different" devices, I think I like the idea of running a central fileserver with that stuff on it, and having separate phone, desktop, etc, that each do two or three things and do them well, and they all mount the fileserver, which has a much storage as you want, gets backed up regularly, is where indexing happens, is where long-running downloads happen. and everything mounting that gets the same files. oh, and a server is less likely to go missing or stolen or soaked.

Your idea is the simplest way to preserve application state between "different" devices, my idea is the best way to preserve saved-file state (and only that) between using different devices.

Your idea has been done to some extent by the Motorola Lapdock, but I don't actually know anything about it.

> But the term photojournalism covers other stuff too, right? Isn't, say, a travel article written by a journalist with a photographer photojournalism too? Or the images taken by a photojournalist for a piece on dance culture, the burning man, stuff like that. Or for a sports feature.

I agree, and as I understand it, anything beyond some basic level/color adjustments and cropping is a no-no in those areas if you want to keep your integrity.
The Nokia app requires a longer exposure time, encompassing multiple shots, which basically means that anything moving is a no-go. The quality of its pictures is theoretically superior, though, because the depth effect comes from the photos themselves, and not a simulation.

Google's version, on the other hand, works with only a single photo, so it's more versatile. It may suffer issues with quality, though (arising from the difficulties in accurately extracting depth values from a 2D image). That has yet to be seen.
Sorry, there's nothing awesome about CVS, especially not cvsweb.

If you want a git client that's graphical, there's dozens to choose from, many of which do a lot of what cvsweb does and more.

You can also create your own Gitorius (https://gitorious.org/) server and view changes there before pushing to the upstream. It's like your own personal GitHub.

It is wonderful to see improvements. It's just that a refined CVS workflow is downright awful compared to the default git one.

Being able to git clone, monkey around with your own branches, and never need commit rights is a huge deal for those looking to work with and improve your software.

There are billions of dollars at stake. They know what the estimates are the whole time, and they have a pretty good idea for weeks/months on whether or not they are going to hit them. They would be borderline insane to not have PR plans in place. It would be naive to think otherwise.

While probably not 99% reliability, I think google software could often solve this one too: Reverse image search could provide an image description, which combined with number of search queries for eg 'unsafe $image_description' to give a ranking. Google can already mostly handle synonyms; it does not need a mastery of the area as it can just use correlations and usage patterns.

Also, being solvable for humans and not computers is not the only criteria for a captcha. For example it must be quick and relatively easy for humans, and provide a definitive consistent answer. The brilliance of recaptcha is that it was making the work that humans excelled at actually useful beyond just 'proof of humanity'.
revenue alone does not mean squat.

the problem is that while their revenue grew, their costs grew faster than their profit. can mean a lot of things of course, but most simple explanation is that it is becoming more and more expensive to grow, hurting bottom line.

I like the bit about climate differences and workspaces. But to say that slavery is the "cartoon version" of what the Civil War was "about" is absolutely wrong. The Civil War was unambiguously about, above or preceding other causes, slavery.

Is React really comparable to things like Angular and Meteor? From what I understand, its supposed to be used in conjunction with a lot of other libraries, being only the 'V' in MVC and all.
>To solve this, AI would have to have a mastery of language, a mastery of object identification, and a mastery of the metadata of those objects as they apply to human safety.

Actually for a captcha to work, you have to have a problem that is easy for an AI to pose and verify the solution to, but hard for AI to solve. This could potentially rule out some classes of working turing tests.
I like the idea of using objects in cells - "Each cell returns a Python object". Any idea of the learning curve, how do users get on. How long does it take to learn compared to learning say vlookup?

Returning an object would help solve many spreadsheet problems. It is a great idea. Any thoughts on how to make the implementation easy to learn?

It's all three of the things you mention: peer to peer, stateless, and on-demand. It also uses UDP, so it's not opening huge numbers of TCP connections. The only time it uses TCP is if you can't use UDP -- as a fallback mode.

I'm not sure why that wouldn't scale. Even if you had millions of users on a network you'd only be connecting to those with whom you're communicating.

It is also as you mention a star of stars network. The supernodes are at very high bandwidth sites and their number and size can be increased on short order. They only relay data if P2P/NAT-t fails, which only happens for about 1-2% of users. Otherwise they just shepherd NAT-t. They're geographically distributed for high performance: Singapore, Tokyo, San Francisco, New York, Amsterdam, and (soon) Sydney. If a supernode fails it takes 10-30 seconds to fail over.

I have plans to further decentralize and add automatic promotion of nodes at some point in the future, but that's a hard problem that requires more study.

Edit: this isn't just another VPN. This is the result of over four years of work, including a huge amount of research into networks and cryptography. It's a completely new system.

That was definitely the case with openvpn-as. I updated my openssl package but my VPS was still testing vulnerable until I updated openvpn-as.
Something not noted is that a number of vpn and seedbox services are hosted in Canada and run by Canadian companies. Americans use them as low-latency workarounds for similar US-located laws. I have never considered Canada to be a safe haven for such activity, I wonder if this crackdown effort will take a toll on those services.
If there is anything in the financial world that needs disrupting, it is the credit rating system.

If anyone is interested in talking about how this could be done - I'd love to just chat about it.

I was thinking about this a lot last night actually, so this post is timely... where instead of using a crytocurrency, like bitcoin, to disrupt money - what if you used a crytocredit system which could be bought into, and leveragd as a secured form of a credit score - defaults, penalties, late payment etc can be covered by the cryto-credit and result in higher earning difficulties applied to your ID.

Use this to be the basis of loans, backed by your earnings etc.

Currently, if some perfect storm of things happens to people , once you destroy your credit, you're completely fucked.

I agree with you. I understand that the post has to be substantial and devoid of "reflexive phrases".

At the risk of getting down-voted, growing up (not in the US) I used to watch construction workers - a woman with a toddler few feet from construction working from early morning 5a.m. to 9p.m. People living in squalor making clothes and dyes and giving it all while doing it. So for the narrative of "rich people are more motivated than poor" is repugnant and would not let that statement go unchallenged.

Qt does have a docking system, but it is nowhere near as good as visual studio's.

For the application I am building (we are using PySide, the LGPL Python bindings for Qt), I planned a fairly elaborate docking/undocking system for a collection of user-generated plots. It seems to me Qt gimped docking so it only works for toolbars on the edges of a main window. You can't "promote" a widget to be the main, central widget through the docking mechanism.
I kind of hate answering questions like this because a) No, I don't have a one paragraph answer (I had a website at one time to try to catalog what I have done and I moved it twice, because of the very ugly attacks on me -- it still exists but not much of it is published online) and b) the answers generally just fuel more ugly attacks.

For your first one: I didn't "test" anything. I followed progress symptomatically.

For your second one: I read up on alkaline foods and skewed my diet somewhat towards those (lettuce, white corn, and watermelon were a big part of my diet for a long time). I also took a lot of supplements ($300/month for years), some of which were alkaline minerals that people like me are typically deficient in (such as calcium and magnesium). I also found that excluding pro-inflammatory oils and certain other pro-inflammatory foods (like peanuts) made a big, big difference.

That's it in a nutshell, but, again, this is 13 years of work I am trying to summarize for you. So a nutshell doesn't really do it justice.

Edit: Sorry, I missed your third question: How it impacted my acidity. I no longer have acid reflux and similar. That's the best I can say about that specific question without being dismissed as a whack job. (I also have a lot less of other issues, but those issues are not things I can "prove" are related to reduced acidity.)

At Code Fellows we have quite a few students who use boot camps to switch stacks or they have legacy CS experience that they are getting back into. We also have a lot of newer folks. One of the things that we've seen at Code Fellows is that incoming students need to have a Foundational understanding of data structures, algorithms, and data types—and also a experience in the stack they are going to take a boot camp in. If they have these ingredients and relevant experience then they can take off in those 8 weeks and be prepared and inspired to keep learning, growing, and get a job. We are super clear that this is a HARD life long process—and that's part of the fun/agony of it all :)
Hell, come over to my place and lets throw back a few cold ones.

One important thing I think you need to come to terms with is that if you don't get that client work done you are going to be worse off than you are now, financially and reputation.

Losing a loved one for whatever reason is hard. Put in a good solid work day, keep the bills paid and take some time to reflect on the situation. This will make you stronger. The next girl you meet will be lucky because you will be stronger due to this breakup.
Yet another SaaS product that wants me to open access to my systems to the world.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills - why would anyone think this was okay?

EC2 security groups are IP-based, which is easy to fake your way past, so even their limited "security" isn't actually secure.

If this was an installable product, it looks like it would be great on my local network. Otherwise, forget it.
Security should be a key priority for such a service - as it is, their data will be a treasure trove for criminals, so they should expect attacks by professionals.
I'm glad I'm not the only person that notices this. There's a reason why these puff pieces came out when they did:

http://www.fastcompany.com/3028156/united-states-of-innovati...

It's about managing investor sentiment. Core profitability of their ad business (as indicated by CPC) has been declining for I think 9 or 10 quarters in a row now? They're aggressively monetizing all their services and products because of this to keep driving aggregate clicks up. "We'll make it up in volume"

They need shiny baubles to dangle in front of investors in the absence of creating real new markets and businesses that generate cash flow. It's not just for investors either. They're attempting to be perceived to be an innovative company in the eyes of their various stakeholders (employees, potential employees, tech press, the general public, regulators, etc.) even though they're pretty much the new Microsoft in terms of milking their one hit (advertising).

Funny enough, Google's core business is being disrupted by the mobile revolution ushered in by Apple (you won't read that particular narrative in the tech/financial press because Google X and other high-profile "moon shots" have been effective in accomplishing the PR objective). Android was a completely defensive move about making sure the erosion to that business was limited and that they'd have a slice of the advertising pie even if it's fundamentally less rewarding than desktop advertising. If Google had attempted to sell Android it would have never been as successful, so there was no choice, it was purely about staunching the bleeding.

This is why Google has been so acquisitive for so many years; they're desperately searching for new businesses that make money (and also clearing the market of anything that could threaten their existing one). The tech media interprets this as being "bold" and "innovative" (which really doesn't make any sense when you think about it) but it's really out of fear and desperation. Companies that have defensible moats around their business don't need to overpay or rush into deals. The media cheerleads it because it gives them something to write about and the resulting boom in Silicon Valley has flowed to them as well. VCs cheerlead it because they rely on these insecure companies to provide ample exits for their portfolio companies at lofty valuations (https://twitter.com/cdixon/status/427602474086584320). Follow Marc Andreessen on Twitter to see him try to justify valuations in technology and dispel any comparisons to the Dot Com boom. Facebook does this as well, but fortunately for them they have a stock that is insanely overvalued which allows Mark Zuckerberg to use it as currency. Google's valuation isn't as generous, but more importantly these acquisitions have been diluting Larry and Sergei's controlling interest (something they recently rectified with a new class of shares). So I'm sure they'll be matching Facebook's pace in no time.
2) What actually causes "disease"? This implies to me that germs per se are not really the explanation.

IBS (and Crohn's, which is really just a type of IBD), is an immune disorder characterized by chronic, uncontrolled inflammation. All the disease's symptoms stem from this state, so the specific germs involved may or may not be all that important, the body's reaction to them is. When you get down to it, many disease states are just a consequence of regulation of inflammation failing at a critical location.

No part of my comment accused him of being guilty. His name is on every news site around the world.
