But this is science we are talking about. A one-off lucky novel result should not be good enough. Why should our standards and our funding be so low?

Physics is generally better since they have good statistical models and can get six sigma (or whatever) results. And replication can be done by the same party (although an independent party is better), and that may mean many trials. And do

If that's the case, then don't claim confidence in the work or make policy decisions based off of it. If there is no epistemological humility, then yes, it is still BS.

If scientists are going to complain that's its too hard or too expensive to replicate their studies, then that just shows their work is BS.

Does anybody know the bit rates, bandwidth, spreading, coding, and packet sizes of the messages they send? It must take several hours to send a message. I also wonder what the minimum number of bits they need to send to recover control is.

What are the flaws? Why is the lay public not allowed to be involved? That sounds like elitist gatekeeping. The truth will come out regardless. Why can't everyone share in the excitement?

> It's a direct side effect of reputation and funding being closely correlated This sheds some light on it to me. I guess what partly surprises me is that people seem to care more about reputation than just a means for improving the

Just wait for more comments in these threads. Someone knowledgeable is bound to explain more.

Yes, 30 minutes is a shockingly long time. I'd say 5 minutes makes a lot more sense.

I don't know why anyone should be concerned about anything here, unless you want immediate confirmation. It's a process. Scientists will try to replicate and try to simulate and try to reason theoretically. They are bound to make

Title should be modified since "rise of hateful tweets" is what is in dispute in the lawsuit, if I understand correctly.

I found it so strange that to start a child process you had to fork your current process. Not an intuitive idea to me at all.

When I realized that the linux operating system had to have hardware support (traps for syscalls and interrupts), it was eye opening. I guess your post highlights how operating systems and hardware developed together, and to innovate outsid

Nope. But even if you are correct, lotteries and gambling have more of the essence of "take from the hopeful, give to the lucky" than any of the things you described.

I hate lotteries and gambling in general. Take from the hopeful, give to the lucky. And the house (almost) always wins. Yes, I have some respect for those who can game the system, because I like the house losing, but their winnings are stil

Just like the good writers, who hedge and qualify their every statement. It's the amateurs who make the bold claims!

This was quite lovely. Cryptography was something I missed in my mathematics education (well, I did cover RSA) and this gave me the gist of what all these elliptic curves are about!

If you mean that the event isn't significant in a societal sense, I totally agree. I don't really think there is any big moral conclusion to take from it. However, the story just has so many fascinating elements to it. The whole t

Does anyone have any self hosted YouTube __playlist__ recommendations? Downloading tends to be the focus and that isn't important to me. I like to save videos for later with my watch later playlist, but it is unmanageable. Not easy to

He didn't say they are negative, he said they are externalities. I've come to the same conclusion that minimalism is only supportable by other people not being minimalists. That's not necessarily a judgment on whether it is g

I love wearables. It is a pain in the neck to take a measurement. Anything that can be worn and sense automatically is awesome. I studious update an SQLite database of my Fitbit data. I just wish I had more measurements to track!

This puts it in a way I was struggling to do so. The "we are just saying we should improve society somewhat" counterclaim is disingenuous because the "we should improve society somewhat" is usually expressed in criticism
