I mean, if anti-science trump people use this to be skeptical of results in psychology and sociology, how wrong would they be? these fields are genuinely corrupt and generate unreliable results. We already know the solution: preregistration

Hmm, I wonder if one could use differential privacy to make mathematically certain that no individual data point could leak. Although that may not be a strong enough guarantee

looks like someone with the same name as the author? that seems kind of unlikely. I mean at that point you’re advocating for the author to not have any identity, even a pseudonym, associated with her book, that way no one can possibly be co

That’s ridiculous. You don’t need to believe yourself “judge jury and executioner” to say that someone who sends (death?) threats to innocent rape victims is responsible for the consequences. If you feel otherwise, fine, but if you can’t bl

I don't really understand this mindset. Google controls Chrome. They openly track every page you visit and show it to you at https://myactivity.google.com/ . It's possible that Google is tracking you with FLoC or

There’s an easy diagnostic for tongue tie. Have them open their mouth all the way and then (without closing mouth slightly) try to touch their tongue to the roof of their mouth just behind their front top teeth. If they can, they’re fine in

I don’t have a math background but I learned LaTeX out of necessity. If I needed a resume I might use it just because it seems easier than messing with Word. It’s not like LaTeX is that hard to use so I don’t see why you see it as performat

If your kid struggles to wake, is it possible they need more sleep? Is their sleep restful enough? Do they snore or have a tongue tie? (If so, you should have a sleep study done, they may have sleep disordered breathing and need corrective

I agree with all that except financially poor. Most sellers I imagine would prefer their clients be wealthy (because wealthy people on average value a marginal dollar less)

Checking the images you upload to icloud against a database of CSAM image hashes is what Apple is updating people’s phones to do. I actually don’t really see the issue and I don’t think the average consumer will care about this one bit. app

Unfortunately the photons hitting the solar panel at the front of your spaceship will slow you down by at least as much as you could turn them into thrust by shooting them out behind you (conservation of momentum) :(

Yes, exactly. It’s something you’re asked whether you want to enable when setting up a new iphone. The location is encryped with a key that only the host iphone can decrypt, so supposedly apple doesn’t see your location every time you walk

I don’t understand what the problem here is actually. If you plagiarize on an assignment for school, that’s bad, because the goal of assignments is to test your knowledge and plagiarism makes it a less effective test. But here the goal (I t

They are related. You can specify effects with monads ( http://goto.ucsd.edu/~nvazou/koka/icfp15.pdf for example), and continuations can be expressed with monads (and therefore as an effect). I believe monads and e

Yeah, or at least they aren’t able to capture the entire $50k/year in value. It kind of sounds bad but it’s a trade and there has to be something in it for both sides for it to happen.

One field of cryptography that only recently because available is deniable cryptography. Basically how it works is, for every message from sender->receiver, either the sender or the receiver can sign it, but nobody can tell who. That way

Yep. Apprenticeships solved this problem in the past (and of course created many others). Actually it’s almost a fun little exercise in economics. Basically there’s two types of efficiency, investment efficiency and allocative efficiency. (

I guess this is how I think of it. I enjoy the fruits of modern society, the airplanes and fast food and nice phones. But to make that happen, you need specialization, you need people know get really good at flying planes then just do that,

New tech is always expensive at first. Selling something for $1k/month is better than not selling it at all. If these things were easy to make cheaply someone would be doing it.

For me, I may be the product Google is selling, but they convince me to use Search anyway because it’s much better than the competition (yes I’ve tried DDG). And I can’t see any way that being tracked negatively affects my life, so it’s a t
