That's because extrapolation does not exist. He may be confused with sampling.

Do you think tough working conditions are leading Chinese tech workers to leave China in search of better work/life balance?

Worth exploring DNSCryptProxy as an alternative, too. In addition to acting like pi hole and blocking certain hostnames, it allows you to encrypt your DNS lookups for anything forwarded to DoH or DNS Crypt supported services.

Observational studies claiming causality are flawed compared to randomised controlled experiments. Hopefully in time research will gravitate toward RCTs. Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft, Ronny Kohavi has a great presentation on flawed o

Why buy drugs/illicit things on an open, immutable and transparent ledger? Best use cash and leave no trace.

Got a source on that? Keen to read up on it.

Simpson's paradox is a statistical phenomenon where you can measure one outcome in aggregate (e.g. total average pay by gender) and the opposite outcome when you segment (e.g average pay by gender AND job). Univariate analyses can hide

There are stages of adpocalypse? Surely ad blocking would mimic the slow growth rates of browser adoption.

More people should do this. I recently switched my home network DNS forwarder from Bind to DNS Crypt Proxy ( https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy ). You can get ad/content filtering lists along with some littl

This is the same for Korean cities - you physically can't cross roads of busy intersections... and like in Montreal, there are plenty of shops and amenities underground. Carrot AND stick.

Yep, that's the one... Only the Acland St / Barkly St intersection is gone. It's enough that most vehicles don't head down the street. They could easily expand the pedestrian section further up the street - and I'd

Hard to say, I think businesses haven't been affected too badly. I've seen some closures but there were closures back when vehicles were permitted all the way through the street, too... Distant visitors still arrive by tram loads.

I live in St Kilda, Australia and our council recently changed one of our iconic streets to almost exclusively be for pedestrians and trams. Businesses protested for months about potential lost business, however as a resident I feel so much

At some point it should become law. Credentials are so common and the best practices around handling them have been around for what sounds like half a century. There's no protection for the average Joe who may reuse passwords and subse

That's why you should always use salt with your hash. Unsalted, your password hash = Hash({{Your Password}}) The attacker can brute force it from a dictionary or stepping through characters (possibly from another breach somewhere, or a

> governments might start issuing cryptocurrencies. Great idea... we can go back to the old model of trusting third parties to print our money for us.

And if mining slows too much where there's not enough block space for transactions, the fee market will pep up and make it profitable eventually too.

That's way better odds than most people's gut feel. Everyone thinks they don't need to run experiments because THEY already know what works. Did you know, in experimentation programs run by Microsoft, Google and Amazon, rough

No thanks. I prefer to help content rights holders fund increasingly broad DRM capabilities which enable control of my devices by unknown third parties. Can't wait until the next "innovation" like this gem comes out: https:&
