Now they just need to support the Foreign Data Wrapper extension with egress connections. Really wish that was built in because FDW itself is amazing, and AWS RDS is easy to manage.

Kind of strange that there's no mention of actual behavioral genomics research here. Aside from the quip that: > Scientists have found some genetic code that contributes to hereditary behaviors, but the bulk of it is unlikely to eve

Opportunity is not evenly distributed, yes. But neither is skill. > Basic income doesn't come off the backs of small business, and that is a silly reason to be so afraid of it. What's the name of your business?

Depends on the effect size. You probably only need n = 5 for a confident answer to the question "What happens when you are shot in the head?"

Depends how big the effect size is. For putting a loaded revolver next to your head, and pulling the trigger, n=30 is plenty.

So this article is about people like me. I went to school in Toronto and stayed. In the > 5 years since: - I joined a seed stage startup - That startup raised a series A ($N millions in total financing) - Was then acquired by a Fortune 5

Can you articulate this in the form of a binary outcome? If so, I will happily make a $N00 sized bet (odds to be negotiated) on the false outcome with anyone who is interested.

This comment is strange to me, I did not have the same impression whatsoever. The numbers here, and overall picture, match all of his previous annual summary posts. It's been fairly clear in those summaries that his attention has shift

You lost me with your jargon, not sure what your point is there. Regardless, being _biased_ is most definitely _not_ the substance of any interesting critique of media. Rather, it's trivially obvious that the production of media is int

by psycr 11y ago
Frankly, this is wilfully ignorant. To suggest that the production of media is devoid of political or ideological interest beyond ad dollars is, I think, stretching the boundary of believability to a breaking point.

The content in this article is disgusting and despicable. I will be moving my code from GitHub as soon as possible.

You're an entryist. I hope anyone reading your comment reads the rest of the thread to which you link. Much sanity is to be found.

Because they discriminate based on political beliefs completely unrelated to the conference. For shame.

Herr Harper private media political clickbait celebrity gossip real scientists political too The shibboleth speaks! But in all seriousness this is, in so many words, exactly what I was describing.

When Harper was in power, sure. Lately, the coverage has been a bit, shall we say, fawning? Regardless, I suspect given the nature of media and ideology, and how fickle our notions of bias really are, that any subtle critique of the CBC is

Do you ever host public meetups, discussions, presentations, etc of your work? Or are there bioinformatics meetups in Toronto more generally that you, or your staff, attend?

The book referenced by Sacks - The Machine Sleeps - is positively, absolutely wonderful. It is, equally wonderfully, free for all, having been published in 1909: http://archive.ncsa.illinois.edu/prajlich/forster.html T
