I just almost always start firefox with a mouse click- even on fluxbox :/

This is beautiful! Congratulations!

Thanks for this. I've been naively using containers. Yes, a UI for profiles would be awesome- we've been wanting that for a long time.

It could have been a lot worse. When Fox came in, it could have turned into a propaganda machine for fake science. Given the possible alternative, I'm happy with "fluffy."

This assumes that people actually behave rationally. Indeed. Just the idea that TP is the topic of interest and not, say, food or medicine proves this. You don't need TP. A lot of the world don't even use TP. You can, in

As soon as a client connects to your "hidden" AP then it's SSID is broadcast to everyone and their mother. Interesting. I've never seen it show up before. EDIT: I probably just wasn't looking for it.

Such as? My watch, for example, uses the gps from my phone (if I would let it, that is). And are you implying that Google is cataloging my SSID even though I have it "hidden?"

Oh fantastic- thanks for these. I see # 6 a lot too, especially generalizing what somebody says (eg: universal health care) into a much larger category (eg: universal socialism) that includes a lot of negative components (eg: deadbeats, co

It's almost like there is a handbook out there somewhere on "how to win an argument on the internet" where people are using manipulative tricks to try to shut down debate and appear as the "victor".

This is an amazing line- I think it transcends fields.

Depends on your hardware. I have a Win machine, but need a green screen because I don't have the horsepower.

Man, this is infuriating. What does Google say when the hotels call to correct the information?
463.
by dhimes 7y ago
Oh, that's too easy: Something that indicates the person is willing to make a purchase. My guess is you do searched all day long, and if you saw ads (you probably block them) you wouldn't buy much. Where do you go when you want

by dhimes 7y ago
Perhaps I wasn't clear. Information search. The last time you looked up how to do something, for example, you bought a product off of a Google ad? What do you define as a "conversion?" I specifically said "sales.&quo

by dhimes 7y ago
I find that for information search intent is a poor pre-qualifier for sales leads.

This is so very cool. Great job stepping up like this to the whole team!

haha yes indeed. I had never heard the term "turning point" used like that, but I guess it makes sense if you think about it as the turning point of the first derivative. But I learned what a logistic function is, so thank you.
468.
by dhimes 7y ago
Yes- but I'm talking about the inflection point- where the curve goes from concave up to concave down. These are modeled as gaussians- so if that modeling works we would be a standard deviation from the peak- assuming the crisis is be

by dhimes 7y ago
If you're still working on it, I'd love to see the second derivative from the data. That's what I'm wondering about most these days: Are we at the inflection point or not?

You must be seriously grieving. I'm sorry, dude.

Jesus. That kind of off-the-chart result is why log graphs were invented. Your link really hammers the disaster home.

Thank you. Although I've moved away from it, it's excellent.

The iPhone has a setting that has you route unknown callers to VM ("silence unknown callers"). I used to do the silent-answer trick, but this is so much better. If it's important,I get a vm and I'll call right back. Th

What's the spin of an electron?

Our model for everything in the universe is pinned at integer values. I think that's gp's point.

I found this true of the mouse on a Mac. Which one? I don't know- it was my cousin's. I don't remember the details but I was looking for a context menu to do some normal context-menu-y stuff like adjust the size of a pictur

I'm thinking of a challenge more like Sweden rather than an enforced lockdown. Make it a competition- a race to the moon. What happens in Sweden remains to be seen though. More interesting to me is that we have a measure by which we

Considering it was probably two doubling times (I've been seeing 2.77 days or so as well from the jhu site) to write the paper and get it out- working extremely hard.

I always assumed that it was because they got paid in dividends, which are taxed at a much lower level. Not an expert though.
