A/B testing is literally just the scientific method, A/B are the two states of the IV. A drug vs placebo experiment, is an A/B test. For example with changing the font size of a button: Your null hypothesis is there is no dif

I think we're are getting caught up on what's being tested. In the context of what we're talking about, you can A/B test more than marketing, you're can test variables like UI/UX. Yes clothes fall in and out of

I agree that it can be a difficult thing to analyze. There's also the Hawthorne Effect at play here too. But those are just confounding variables, they do not negate the fact that A/B tests are still "real science". An A

> actual science I'm not sure what you mean by this. Many quality studies are A/B tests. A/B just refers to the two IV states you're testing, which you're then observing a DV - sales, engagement, errors, etc. A&#

Not FTX - but I know Coinbase has stated in their earnings report that they will use user deposits to pay debtors back first in the case of bankruptcy. Edit - better explanations below this Also a friendly reminder to everyone not to trust

The network was designed not to be regulatable. Businesses however are regulatable. The US has shown they can effectively enforce AML/KYC requirements across the vast majority of exchanges and businesses. Any exchange the average perso

Over simplified, otherwise it's too complex for this explanation, if you're trading please don't use my explanation - Buying either cash-secured Puts or Calls are not subject to margin-calls like shorts/long shares are.

If this becomes a thing there will seriously need to be done with something like ADA to prevent it. There's many disorders with sensory issues this would be detrimental for.

Shorting is different from an option. They are often confused because you can say you have a "short position" or a "long position" with either (long position would be buying shares). Most people are more familiar with bu

Yeah I think that should work. It does have the downside still that changes to the website/github might break future updates in a way that isn't (easily) verifiable. While this is a solution personally I still like the idea of GPG

Interesting idea, Does the script get the new version url&expected hash from the website alone? Or does it get the expected hash from the website, then calculate the URL from github? Basically I'm wondering if that prevents just ne

Admittedly this is likely the main reason GPG isn't more common place because of the complexity. This is the overview: Developer generates a private/public key they use for all of their projects. You import their public key once -

Serious question - What is the benefit of verifying a hash? Are we really worried about file integrity? Why don't people use GPG? The hash only verifies file integrity, and that the content of the url doesn't switch the script lat

For context my ideal setup has at least 3 environments - prod, qa/testing before release, and dev. With dev being the most likely to break, and the qa/testing for when we need to be absolutely certain that differences between prod

Just curious, is the issue a time thing, or is it on a system that can't easily upgrade it - or is it a breaking changes thing that would require refactors? Basically I'm just curious what broke for you
