It's not hard to "get", in that their policy decision is clear and understandable. However, are you saying that the iPhone is incapable of being a general purpose computer? That it would be difficult to have it more open&

Perhaps there are DNA samples from known persons (eg Cylon or his supporters?) that these samples could be compared to, in order to infer their likely political affiliation during this time of unrest? Or maybe they just want to confirm tha

Are there any good stats available on Instagram's usage over trends over time? Seems like people are using it less and less.

This stood out to me too. It's harsh, but true. I love that Apple is making computing devices more accessible to people, and I think that's a good thing. But I wish they weren't also making those very same devices more c

I did not mean to imply that this paper was due extra skepticism in particular. Indeed, I tried to give the paper due praise for seeming to be more rigorous than many other GWASs. And, yes indeed, false discovery rate has been a huge iss

Thanks for the reply, and my turn to apologize for misinterpreting your tone. You asked initially what exactly I was saying, and here again how to square what I'm saying with my original comment. So, let me try to explain, and I would

There are already plenty of VCs and other influencers who, knowingly or not and intentionally or not, demonstrate sexist behaviors and attitudes. You see it over and over and over. If you're already prone to some degree of sexism, obs

You should try reading up on the subject before being blithely dismissive. False discovery rates, false positive rates, and family-wise error rates and how best to control for them are ongoing areas of interest and research in GWAS. There

I believe this is the underlying paper: http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/ng.3623.... GWA studies general should be treated with great caution. The way they work generally is base

What "correction" was there, exactly? I replied to an over-generalization and misstatement. What exactly do you see being actually corrected?

If this is true, then it's a big tacit admission of guilt, or the expectation if being found liable, at least. Where did you hear?

Yes, that for sure is mentioned as a distinct possibility. Sometimes in such matters the city can also be sued for approving plans if they are subsequently found to be faulty or inadequate as well. And if there is any other construction go

How much stock should one put in that declaration of safety? It is from an "independent" analysis... but who paid the analysts? Or, suppose absolute freedom from bias... how many times have expert opinions of safety been wrong i

Probably not good. According to this and other articles, the building's concrete slab foundation sits roughly 80 ft below street level upon sand, while bedrock lies 200 ft down. That means there is 120 ft of sand, possibly susceptibl

I wonder how much this will actually affect Denton. Often people file bankruptcy as a means of protecting their assets, as opposed to accepting that they have none. I think Denton/Gawker were and are a net disservice to society. But

I'm not sure if it's pettiness. Perhaps think of it as a societal or economic immunological response. Such actors seek to punish, in whatever ways they can, entities viewed as "bad actors". This isn't necessarily

Such schadenfreude and enmity are natural responses to people or entities which seem overconfident and braggadocios, or which play dirty, or which bully. Uber has created the perception that they are or do all of those things.

Maybe it's bad for Lyft, or maybe it's good. Has it been confirmed that the partnership is void or defunct? If the partnership remains in place, then this is likely a good thing for Lyft. Recall that, unlike Uber, Lyft wasn&#x27
