We need more transparency from companies, this time it was a 'bug' that was visible to the end user (hey! who turned on power saving?). Would Google go public if they also develop a 'bug' that is not visible easily by th

Might be worth getting a urine sample and check how much protein there is. More than likely you are urinating most of that protein out through out the day.

The main point was inflation and wages. He mentions that "The scale of immigration both legal and illegal I believe has the greatest impact on the lowest sectors of society.", I doubt the impact is greater than the stagnation of w

Have you checked minimum wage vs inflation chart? Seems that not having a minimum wage that goes up yearly to catch up to inflation has the biggest impact in wage growth. There are bigger fish to fry rather than speculate on the impact of i

That's what you get for accepting rich kids from corrupt families of the most corrupt countries. Donated farm land from Russia, Ukraine & Brazil? Murky titles and legal fights? I'd be shocked if this was not donated by some co

Ok next time I will write a research paper and post it here as a comment defining cat and human suffering and then after that you will ask but what about suffering in mollusks: "Suffering in humans and cats is not concrete!". I kn

I was talking about suffering, pain and choice IN humans, you brought animals into the equation. It's a comment on HN so sorry for not specifying that the article and my comment were regarding humans only. Bringing animals in was the b

Interesting argument, with a broken premise. There's still debate on what level of consciousness animals have [0]. Is a cat conscious enough to predict that tomorrow it will have less food and save some for tomorrow to avoid feeling th

Suffering is a conscious decision, pain is triggered by an outside stimuli. Just like you can feel mad without punching a wall. Punching a wall would be an extreme example of somebody with zero self-control that reacts rather than act. It&#

I wonder if that deletion can be scriptable and triggered on-demand without restarting by a Firefox extension.

An effort to lower salaries by increasing supply of workers. It's amazing how they play it as a donation when it is a strategic long term investment. Makes me think of tax implications of this kind of gray area between donations and lo

Kerrick what are your thoughts on the Pleco flashcards instead of Anki for iPhone Chinese flashcards?

A first step is acknowledging the problem or being aware that there is room for improvement. Even if they just think about it, that's how trends start. Headline: 'taking steps' Study: 'said they are trying'

Who funded this study and what are they to gain with this result? Research seems to be used as a bargaining chip always when trying to influence public opinion and regulation (Tobacco industry, dairy, etc).

The code is more about a simple set of rules for research involving human test subjects. That is the baseline. It started because of that and got adopted by the scientific community as the most basic rules. I'm not implying anything ab

There are loopholes everywhere, yes that is one. No, it's not about finding the minimum set of changes to make it airtight. It is about informing test subjects that they are being tested on.

Again, informed test subjects. Were the users informed? How do we know when is it a real ad and when are we test subjects? Are they going to publish every test and result they do or cherry pick the funny pizza ones only? Maybe read this oth

It is not my fault that the rules that govern research and interaction between researchers and tests subjects occurred because of WW2 and that Godwin's law exists. I mentioned that as a historic fact. So nobody can talk about how this

Except a landing page clearly transmits that message, you are literally signing up for a reminder.

It is not that, it is mostly informed test subjects. The slippery slope argument is the most extreme case let's say. The thing is this is not black or white, there are grays in between, who decides what shade of gray? Do we wait like w

This concept is very creepy. This particular pizza example reported is not but who knows if they come clean on ALL their experiments. They have a lot of power in their hands and now they are running experiments on people without them even k

Might as well add forest fires, in theory forests should get dryer (longer time under packed ice, hotter summers). Don't know if this mechanism exists on the game.

I've been seeing more movement here around Prolog, any idea why? Prolog has existed for a long time so that's why I'm surprised.

Not very familiar with this situation but it makes sense, the price increase on soda would bridge the gap between that and the price of a beer which would make the customer think twice if it might be worth it to spend a little bit more and

This is actually a pretty good introduction to functional programming, was not expecting it from the title. Awesome.
