After the study is concluded, won't they get the non-blinded (still anonymous) version? During efficacy/side-effect analysis you should definitely use only blinded data. After confirmatory statistical analysis, it seems reasonable

While none for me either, I used to look down on HW RAID etc. Lately I've realized, such solutions are genuinely useful and more likely to survive/work properly, if the people managing it do not understand the technology, don'

A contributing hazard may be ubiquitous use of PVC and similar materials that produce toxic fumes. You do not want to breathe that even if it doesn't suffocate you immediately . Smoke from wood and most "natural" materials -

AFAIK, dirt and feces are rich in cobalamine (vitamine B₁₂), which is otherwise scarcely available in non-animal sources. Calling it a "disorder" and "largely non-nutritive" seems a bit broad, when it could be satisfying

It seems to me, you still have to compromise between having a relatively small number of participants, very high and expensive overhead/throughput and sharing your network with potential attackers, which could observe the network by ob

Isn't it the opposite of a dumb tv? AFAIU it has no TV tuner, so no air/cable/sat reception, while having full "smarts" with built-in internet and apps.

They are aware. That's why you get 20Mbit/s, maybe 50 if you're lucky. Cheaper in the short term and it's not like you have a choice. AFAIU, GP is talking about FTTC (or VDSL), which is moderately faster than typical ADS

While I may disagree with GP about the exact method of wear, regional differences are mostly due to construction not weather or wear. Roads ~50km west of us look almost new, while ours usually develop potholes or at minimum cracks, within a

There was a time when downloading movies took hours, or even days. Nowadays, you can stream via popcorn time for basically free¹. As for CPU, storage - I don't think 10+ different formats at extreme compression are a hard requirement.

When businesses realize people actually use OSM and updates are 10x easier, they will make sure to keep it up to date, for the same reasons. OSM actually needs less popularity to stay up to date, it's just not there (yet).

Python actually has ';', and I think you can write everything in one line if you really want to, e.g. in an inline script python3 -c 'import math; tau=math.pi*2; r=1; u=r*tau; s=r*r*tau/2; v=r*r*r*tau*2/3; print

I'd guess it might depend on whether you are in fact rich or not, and whether the gift is above or below the means of the gifted. Seems like a bad thing either way, but for various reasons and (potentially) involved parties.
