I suppose it's a similar argument as answering the question "why shouldn't sicker people pay way higher insurance premiums instead of driving up the average cost". For health insurance I think the pool of insured people

If you own the rights to your own data you can prevent that data from being made public (or used in other ways). A nation state can very well require that social media sites honor this if they want to operate in that country. Search engines

FWIW, it wasn't EuroPython. It was Muc2016 in Aachen, Germany (human computer interaction conference) Thanks for the explanation :) We're pretty much in agreement overall, some project choices just seemed odd though. These project

I saw a micro:bit keynote at a big conference somewhat recently. Overall I have to say I'm not all that impressed with the strategic decisions. There were some reasons for rolling their own but they could have partnered with existing a

I think methodically you'd need equivalence testing for that. Your hypothesis would be that productivity is equal (enough) and you could then discuss the additional benefits of TDD. I can't remember if I read a study like this for

I'm not sure it's pure noise for professionals. These students eventually turn into professionals so there's probably some relationship (at least that would be my hypothesis). Regarding the replication crisis...this is actual

Sample size is 21 and they used Kruskal–Wallis (which is parameter free). Might not be the best tests (iirc. it's usually recommended for the exact combination of ordinal+nominal but I'd have to check) but it's suitable enoug

The curse of Plato strikes again. You (or other eiltes) who know better than the actual people doing what they do that they waste their time and could use it in more meaningful/fruitful ways. The fact that these people chose to spend t

I'm curious. Should screenplays also be eligible for the nobel in literature?

The basic ebb and flow tech is simple. I'm prototyping it with a simple hardware timer. For now my plan is to simply add a programmable switch and some sensors once the system is up and running and go from there (maybe a webcam). Here&

Set up an automated indoor garden. I'm currently working on a simple ebb and flow hydroponics garden with a dashboard to monitor health stats etc. Pump on/off, lighting and sensing some stuff. I'll try my hand at tomatoes and

There are models for sentiment analysis (mostly using Twitter data, just enter sentiment analysis in Google Scholar) and you can use things like sentimentAPI: https://github.com/mikelynn2/sentimentAPI I have at least o

While not huge, they can be previewed in RStudio (not sure if IPN/Jupyter can be) but generally it's not a bad idea to have all the tooling from the same language crowd (imo). Worst case it's an extra alternative to the excel

Down the road, this should also integrate well with their VR plans. There's quite a few companies they will not be able to sign up unless they provide an on premise solution (which I doubt they are interested int) and I have a feeling

The general idea is pretty cool. The main question is probably what the images should link to and what images to use for contributions that don't have a dedicated page (just github). I think the default link should be to the code but l

Pretty sad that human greed can force such an adaption. With that out of the way I wonder how good nature is generally in adapting to human caused problems. This strategy seems a bit flawed as it should lead to a sharp decline in the male p

That was my initial association as well. I actually thought there was some sort of sea blockade to not let note 7s into the country. Then I thought that would be a bit too ridiculous and only then did my brain recognize the other meaning of

Interestingly, in Germany there are some bicycle "hub" cities the prototypical example would be the city of Münster. My very unscientific feeling is that it's mostly mid sized cities with a university campus (especially if it

Looking forward to the more detailed writeups since I'd love to read why it wasn't possible to build a sustainable company around such an excellent product. Good move by Stripe to pick up these fantastic engineers.

Is that the John Rodgers that gave us masterpieces like American Outlaws and Catwoman? Maybe I'm wrong/misremembering but I feel like all criticism of Atlas Shrugged I've read seems to assume that whoever reads it will be bra

I don't think Google has been bad when it comes to hardware. They are not a hardware company but they try to do interesting things. They were way ahead of the curve with Glass which was technically solid for the time but marketed horri

Sometimes it takes a lot of time to reach something that is relatively trivial once you know how to do it. I can reproduce E=mc² in a matter of minutes. Doesn't mean I could have ever come up with it in the first place.

Since this study is from the UK where (at least in London) it feels like there are cameras pretty much everywhere...I wonder if a citizen concerned with police abuse could get a sort of citizens warrant to tap into these feeds to make their

Interesting read but a bit too positive overall. I think the biggest failure of the launch was not learning from the initial launch zones before launching the other zones. The launch in Europe was a catastrophe imo (constant crashes and fre
