Some areas of science use double blind studies a lot, others don’t. I assume you won’t get mad if I don’t use a double blind study when investigating a black hole, right? We use different types of studies for different types of science. Dou

This is also helpful when an author publishes multiple works under the same name. I’ve seen this happen before where a paper was published with a name and then the author followed it up with a book by the same name. The information from the

The problem is that all the legacy bits of Windows makes development (and usage) of Windows software harder. So it’s a trade off for developers - easier initial development but harder maintenance, or harder initial development and easier ma

Technically a VC with less than 50% control can’t do anything to you, so as long as you keep 51% and never sell or liquidate then it’s free money. In practice, they wind up pressuring you to do those things and then they get their money bac

The idea is that the client is doubly encrypting the message for both the target recipient and the government, and that if the client doesn’t do that it’s banned from the system. So it is still end-to-end encrypted on the server and is not

The Slack status page never reported this incident. It looks like it’s been resolved now, which is great, but very disappointing that it completely missed the issue.
