I don't think you can reasonably claim that the market for houses above 750K-1M is independent of the market for houses below.....

Sure, but they why kWh/h instead of kW? If you're inclined to measure the quantity of gas in terms of its energy, why not measure its flow in terms of power? (of course kWh/h _is_ power, but why denote it so strangely?)

Why would one presume that the reason has anything to do with computation error rates, rather than something obvious and mundane like "Graviton instances are more profitable"?

So, honest question, because I'm genuinely bewildered: why would you bother doing this, when Firefox exists, is perfectly functional, and isn't made by Google?

There are lots of games that run on linux these days. Personally, my wishlist has a deep enough backlog of linux-supporting games that there's very little risk I'll ever be "forced" to dip into the windows-only portion o

I'm not sure it's as much of a contradiction as you think it is. Noting "It manifests itself in the declining visit and posting frequency on Facebook across many cohorts", I find it entirely plausible that feeding the tr

Doable, although annoying to configure correctly. Beneficial if you want to obscure your identity from the second VPN server (i.e. Twitter's, in this case, which ought to be logging connections)

I think this is kind of missing the "if it's inadequate" clause of the heuristic. In your example, the painful boots were clearly inadequate, and by the heuristic, it was time to upgrade to the best equipment you could afford

It's important to bear in mind the small sample size: 4 women took the private interview, and 6 took the public. Still a compelling result, but not quite as incredible as it sounds in the article. I'm not sure what the p-value wou

Ah, yes, it is definitely reasonable to draw that conclusion based on people's disinclination to spend 100% the fare for a 10% larger, somewhat less uncomfortable seat, and/or 1000% the fare for 50% more space and an actually comf

Would you support methadone being banned while heroin is available over the counter? Because that's the proper equivalent comparison to the e-cig policy.

I feel like you're missing other commenters' points. The thesis of the article is not "willpower is poorly defined". The thesis is right in the title: "Willpower is a dangerous, old idea that needs to be scrapped&

Not so. I'm just saying that it's valid to disagree on the definition of a thing, and that when that happens you need to have debate about the real underlying disagreement, rather than making a pointless and foolish declaration o

You all do realize that (at least by default) ubuntu will keep old kernel versions around, and you can choose to boot them in GRUB, don't you? This is certainly a pain, but it's hardly the first time a broken kernel has shipped.
