On the other hand communication during this pandemic has been littered with point estimates where confidence intervals should have been used. Based on the FHI announcement, I think the result is not significant, but the decision was made be

This kind of thinking hasn't made its way to iPhones. When it's auto-updating an app I'm not allowed to open it (separately, it seems optimized to start updating an app moments before I'm about to open it).

This "study" is a survey. No experiment was undertaken to actually determine a casual relationship.

The Americans trained the enemy to respond in a certain way, and NZ took advantage of the enemy's predictable response.

Not really answering your question, but CDC says 28% of all traffic-related deaths in 2016 involved alcohol. Excluding these would immediately improve the mean performance.

That's not young at all. How much trouble did people have accepting Euro in 2011?

Just extracting string views can be fast, but converting numbers to and from text is very slow.

Buildings in New York have already switched the cameras they use to take visitor pass photos with ones that see through the mask, so you don't have to take off your mask anymore.

The study you linked was a survey, not an experiment. Why would you take into account what pirates tell strangers they would do?

A hairdresser in Norway has to be paid a lot because otherwise they can take one of the abundant high paying jobs in the oil industry with no additional training. How would you level pay for hairdressers in Norway and those in e.g. Sweden?

The author uses "evidence of infection" as the definition of infection, and labels all other definitions as misinformation, and writes at length about it as if it was not just a difference in definitions. Obviously most of the peo

I can't access the article, but is this a random sample or a convenience sample?

Based on my experience with our first child, these might be placebo exercises, and the babies might have met those goals on their own. Assuming you haven't done a randomized trial.

Both invest (almost?) exclusively in an agency capacity, i.e. they don't directly make any investment decisions other than by shaping what sorts of products they offer.

The linked article doesn't really substantiate that claim, and even so it doesn't actually contradict GP's claim about the McDonald's job.

The researcher starts out by admitting that IQ is correlated to income and wealth[1], then keeps adding factors to the model until the IQ factor is statistically redundant. If you think this method is sufficient to say two variables are no

For comparison, the city of Oslo has more than 1500 miles of marked and maintained trails, and this isn't even a destination for hiking.

The fact on the ground is that if you visit a tiny 100 foot waterfall in Pennsylvania, there will be a parking lot, a $25 entrance fee, a gift shop, a show every two hours, and security rails around the path. The travel distances between si

I wasn't really talking about unvisited regions, so the Alps wasn't meant to be an example of that. I think you should be pretty easily able to find more remote wilderness if you look to the North or the East. Recall that Europe i

Most of the wilderness is quite nondescript, though. There are far too many people for the few amazing sites. Compare to Norway, the Mediterranean coast and islands, the Alps, and the Canary Islands.

The value of tether is a function of how close the supply is to the underlying assets. The only thing that matters at the moment is that you can redeem for dollars now , not whether you can do so in ten years. The fact that the next billio

Why are you singling out Google, though? Mozilla uses the same opt out mechanism, as do the various open databases such as OpenWLANMap. If you are worried about this, do you realize Google Photos also stores the location of photos of object

I wasn't responding to you, but what other way would you choose to opt out? SSID is one of the few things you can adjust on almost any access point. Hotspots are relevant because they are often personal and they follow you around, so i

WiFi beacons are extremely important for good geolocation in buildings and in cities. Are you saying we should get rid of this functionality just to ensure nobody has a database of the physical location of hardware addresses? Phones already

Another failure: when there's a line, and you already know you'll need multiple cars, the elevator button will still only allow you to call one car at a time. Even if several cars are already on your level with the doors closed.

Fiat is slightly different in that the government can guarantee a certain level of demand for it by requiring taxes to be paid in it. If you you don't like jail and have a tax liability in US, you can't think dollars are worthless

This could have been far downstream from the hackers themselves. They might just have been monitoring the bitcoins and waiting for some to land in one of many addresses for which they have the private key. Presumably FBI is continuously sco

Wild guess, but maybe FBI has a database of Bitcoin private keys for machines they have infiltrated, and this was usable in this case?

I guess I should have said "fiat pegged and backed".
