Thanks, very interesting. It was silly of me to assume that the p-value could be used in that way when, as you explain, it's not measuring or indicating that at all.

I don't know very much about how reproducibility validation works. Is it the case that, if we assume p= ~0.05 and all 50 original studies are perfect, we would expect the first iteration of reproducibility validation to fail for ~2 of

I'm curious if the development of ASICs generally increases or decreases the security of the network. It seems to me that the resilience of the network to attack doesn't depend on the total computing power of the network, but on t

Alice may well be the sole provider of the product. This is especially true in the realm of products with zero marginal costs. Even if we assume she is not, and that a fungible product is available from other vendors, the fact that Bob has

The concept of advertising does not require that the ad viewer "overpay" for the product of the advertiser. It only requires that in the long run, the average additional revenue for the company is greater than the average cost of

I don't really understand how it runs on iOS devices at all - to the best of my knowledge, it simply isn't possible to control device audio volume from javascript on iOS [1]. Or at least, that seemed to be the consensus last time

Most of the time, one will not know which pages one links to will disappear in the future. This service therefore only seems really useful if you use it with every link you make. That would make the biggest plan short on "mummies"

I don't think the downfall of the prequel trilogy had much to do with these four "rules". It had to do with an incoherent story, bland, one-dimensional characters, and a lack of connection between the personal struggles of th
