   Wow you really didn't get the entire point I was making then. The test in it's current form, has significant issues. But the test != the theory.

   Wow, it's great to be so confident. You must be correct then. /sarcasm If you dig a little deeper into the foundation of analytical psychology, you might be surprised. Carl Jung popularized the terms Extravert and Introvert, and there have

   "Ignorance priors" are not the common use case for Bayesian in general, at least in my experience. Furthermore, who said adding more data is not allowed? Of course it is, and I agree fully, but do struggle to see how that contradicts what

   This is an attempt to give a pragmatic overview, without the math. Bayesian methods rely on the concept of "priors". A prior is a known probability about a fact, or event, or whatever it is you are modeling. Priors "seed" the network. Bayes

   This comment makes the most sense, in an interesting thread.

   >Pragmatically speaking, the new gGTLDs are likely to fail. So why not avoid that expensive bullet? If the premise is true, then I agree with the conclusion. But what will make the new set of gTLD's likely to fail? And what does "fail"

    You make a great ideological point sir. But let me make a pragmatic one. The new gTLD's are coming whether we like it or not, so why not take advantage of it?

    Yeah, great book. I've heard it mentioned that it was one of Steve Job's favorite books too.

    Seems like a sensible stack. However, is it not reasonable that would someone not consider node.js, as web stack as well? I will agree the focus is more towards backend and asynchronous API's traditionally, but the amount of front-end/UX or

    vert.x seems to be a node.js like solution running on the JVM (as opposed to V8), offering multi-core concurrency. It doesn't appear to have any significant traction yet, but that may be because it's fairly new.

    Really? Are you seriously making an argument against convenience, by labelling people "lazy"? sigh

    Interesting thanks! But I think your argument falls down, when we inspect the merit of the world "popular". Electric cars, have never been mainstream.

    Agree with the monitors. The email thing less so. A consistent email format, helps people remember and communicate better. Yes it has less of "YOUR" ego imprinted all over it, but surely there are a plenty of other ways to express yourself?

    It's not wrong. Past failure is not guarantee of future failure. Elon Musk and the electric car industry is one example.

    This is actually a great conceptual list. Well done. There are many more strategies and it can be refined but as a core set in one place, that's pretty handy. Personally however I've found great strategy to be, "solve for x". Where x is som

    Haha great find. Thanks. I agree, I think it would have been important to also say just how quickly Node.JS has developed. I'm a firm believer it has a very bright future, but this is not a zero-sum game.

    Ok but why should we care? I mean it's not like men are raging about the lack of male orientated pregnancy articles. I don't get it. Tech is male orientated because there are much more males in it. It make sense to then align the reporting

    This 25x thing correlates well with the "reality distortion field" Also 250% of all statistics make 66% sense -5% of the time.
