I think what you're describing is just fraud. To take your fair coin example, publication bias is when the only studies that get published are the ones that show an unfairness in the coin – the rest of the studies that simply find 50%

Someone who majored in liberal arts but is able to themselves to code is likely to be an intelligent and motivated individual. I suspect that more readily explains the successes of these individuals than their liberal arts studies. It'

In the course I took, the program would call home whenever it exploded and deduct points from your grade on the assignment. So naturally I just went in with hexedit and deleted that particular call to that function in explode_bomb.

Can anyone explain what is meant by this: > During the Iraq war, reporters informed us that a mob of jubilant Iraqis toppled the statue of Saddam Hussein in Firdos Square. Never mind that there were so few local people trying to pull the

The model I was shooting for was having your API be an independent HTTP rest service (whatever framework/language you want) with the nodejs server consuming it to render the initial view and then the client also consuming it in order t

Hey check this out: https://github.com/tylerkahn/isomorphic-es6-react-martyjs-to... This may help you out. I created this after also struggling to find a good isomorphic example app.

I watched the video twice and I can't figure out what the purpose of this is. The copy on the website suggests it's a mine clearing device but it doesn't seem you can use these to methodically clear a tract of land in order t

Where exactly did I trivialize spying? What an excellent straw man you have constructed. You know what's more damaging than snarkiness? Hyperbole, group think, and poor rhetoric. Hacker News, reddit, and Imgur have it in spades.

Huh and yet here, as per your links, we have mainstream media reporting on it. Have those journalists been subjected to 'extreme retaliation'? Perhaps we don't hear about it frequently not because there is a conspiracy among

Oh ok. I think you're saying that because you think that Rice believes [something bad with respect to data privacy], by Dropbox saying that she's fully supportive of their commitments Dropbox must also believe in [something bad wi

It is a big deal, just not from your perspective because you're solely focused on data privacy. The statement is meant to address the data privacy concerns raised about her appointment. This doesn't mean the concerns are valid, ju

How about: 1. Rice wasn't brought on for anything that has to do with data privacy and thus her views on data privacy are irrelevant. 2. Rice doesn't have an uncontrollable compulsion to send people's data to the NSA and thus

NYU has a program where college students doing internships in NYC can live in an NYU dorm for ~$360/week. I didn't find the groceries/food to be all that expensive.

I'd prefer journalists themselves not take a position on the spying or what Snowden did. The statement contains no judgement either way. Sounds like you're the target market for Glenn Greenwald's new news organization. https

Yup I have this exact problem. Sometimes waiting a few minutes and trying to turn it on again works.

As best I can tell this is more like an English-looking CFG with a simple attribute grammar. And the rules can be updated at runtime.

To be fair, IIRC, you've been programming for longer than many people on this site have been alive. (I listened to your interview on Javascript Jabber.)
