It's a mistake to focus on the particular issue like this. Trading away long-term process to get one short-term result is a bad trade. It doesn't much matter how bad Fram was; the particular issue that started the matter is most

Hey, markchristian, the footnote numbering in this article is off/inconsistent. (The links seem correct, but the numbers are wrong.) Would you mind fixing this? Thank you! Edit: Whoops, sorry, I got mixed up. This comment actually

It's a breaking of process. Why couldn't ArbCom have handled this? Wrecking a good process to get handle one particular thing is trading away long-term stability for that one thing. Bad trade.

On the contrary, it's not weird at all. It's incorrect , but such thinking in collectives is entirely natural. It's seeing past such things and recognizing that one should not to attribute things to collectives like this

A better counterexample here would be Russian conventions of address. I'm not sure why the grandparent comment used such rare, basically-ignorable cases instead.

Oh man, so I'd actually been thinking about the question of what happens when you actually play the game of Snake on an arbitrary graph: https://hjaltman.github.io/snake.html Very interesting to see these results about

Question: Are these correlations typically transitive? That is to say, does it typically happen that in addition to everything having nonzero correlation with everything else, it additionally happens that the sign of the correlation betwee

1 is the empty product. You generate it by multiplying nothing together. (Or to put it differently, the set of primes forms a generating set for the monoid of natural numbers under multiplication, not the semigroup . Semigroups are kin

This is really neat! Unfortunately the color isn't working for me for some reason, which makes locating the initial food quite difficult. Any idea what could cause that?

There's one thing here that I don't really get here. Take a look at this paragraph, on page 18: > There are two primary threats to the validity of our interpretation of the results above. [...] A second possibility is that you

A note on this submission: This paper differs from previous "Magic is Turing-complete" links you may have seen here in that this construction embeds a universal Turing machine that runs without requiring the players to make part

> Why would you stop at two time axes? Why not go for three, or four, or N many? This question is confused, because it's taking a derived property as fundamental. It takes as fundamental the fact that there are two associated times

Why on earth should we trust (for such things) a model that includes an opaque neural network?

It's only baffling if you assume that the people in government are smart. Somewhat less glibly, it's compartmentalization, basically. Take an ordinary, not-especially-intelligent person who has basically authoritarian intuitions,

You seem to be confusing "this is not a sufficient test" with "this is not testable". And not knowing the mechanism does not make something unfalsifiable. (I mean, most phenomena are discovered before any mechanism!)

I mean, you had your friends page, which aggregated all the posts from people you'd added as friends (this was a one-way thing, it didn't require the other person's agreement). You could also make posts locked so that only y

Some of this could also be "What did LiveJournal (and therefore also its clones) get right?" Oddly LiveJournal seems to always get left out of these discussions, even though it had more features than many later sites (Facebook, T

The correct text encoding is the one I specify. UTF-8 is a decent default. Where did that bit about 0x0A come from? That's just an extra byte. There's no text encoding that says "to decode this you should first remove the

I mean, it ought to be possible to use a text editor to specify exactly what I want in a text file. If a newline is silently added at the end, then, well, that isn't happening. Edit: Which is to say, I don't think l24ztj is using

While I admit I don't know the details, it seems unlikely to me that this process works the way you seem to be supposing it works, by somehow measuring bias and then correcting that out, such that it would yield incorrect results when

Here's what I'm wondering: if they think this separate process is more reliable than traditional interviewing... why keep it a separate process rather than using it for everyone?
