If I understand correctly, the issue is when you track the effect as a rolling value and stop the test as soon as it dips above the significance level. So for instance, let's say your test is to roll a dice 6 times. You say "if I

For me it's built in as a senior software dev, no extra compensation. But, it's 3 or 4 one-week shifts a year because everyone is in the rotation. Usually nothing happens. We are a small company (< 150) and we run a public mark

Interesting situation. Musk must have known that losing would mean inheriting the legal bill for the case against him. But conversely they must have known that they would need to be paid before he took over. Clearly the outgoing execs sided

Thanks but what I'm asking is how they can tell from their names? Is there a naming convention here?

He has a point. The comparison with money is an interesting one. Most people understand the danger of counterfeit money. But people are in a sense the currency of democracy. Creating fake people is to democracy what fake money is to the eco

Tesla is probably the biggest example that springs to mind. I'm not sure they were any different from the myriad of other car startups that come and go all the time. I think Github and Linkedin (both acquired by MS) are both more popul

I might have misunderstood but I didn't see anything here about not being allowed to sell it. The complaint was that Tesla didn't value it. When you buy software you buy the right to use it. If the terms of the sale allow, you can

Yes that's normal. Every year the entry period is in October, and closes in early November. At the same time it opens, they start processing the winners from the previous batch. If you enter in Oct, your result is announced in May or J

I think that's a more complicated issue because a bar is less independent. In the US I don't know if there's anywhere that you can sell alcohol without a license, and in any case there's a host of other rules that apply

I'm not attempting to frame it as "the only correct opinion to hold", just mine. The reason it's disturbing to me is that the supreme court is the last resort. In order for a case to get there, someone very powerful need

It's disturbing to me that we need the supreme court's opinion on whether or not a person can refuse work.

I lean towards the "we invented it" camp. I used to assume that most phenomena in the physical world were approximations of mathematical perfection, which I think is the Platonic view (but I'm not sure). But then I had a diff

I missed most of the original discussion. This is interesting because it separates the question of whether the scenario is a violation of the rule from the question of whether you would punish it. Depending on other things which are left un

You can hardly characterize fastmail this way. They've been extremely stable in the years that I've been using them. In fact this is the first time I remember seeing a mention of fastmail on HN that wasn't praise.

I didn't know this. The comments are good too, e.g. >>> From the first few seconds of the video, I know where this is going and the answer is: the exponential function is not injective over C, so you can't cancel it. exp(

In Europe the view is that bigger vehicle = bigger responsibility. In the US the attitude seems to be bigger vehicle = bigger right of way. The party who stands to lose the most is expected to yield the right of way.
