I see from other comments that you have IRB approval for this study, but you really should include the IRB protocol identified and/or contact information of the PI here, especially if you've created a separate account just to post this recruitment material.

While it is possible to ask questions about the study here (as others have done), there's actually no way for me to know anything about the study approval except to email this thread link to NYU's IRB and have them figure out what protocol it corresponds to. And so far, the response has just been "Yes, we have approval, just trust us and send us your contact info."

Assuming that it's possible for non-researchers to use Qualtrics at NYU, there's really no way for me to determine if this is a real research study or someone whose account has been compromised and is running a data harvesting operation. I also don't even know what department this study is associated with (computer science, business, sociology, etc), which I suspect would influence people's interest in participating.

In any case, I'd recommend providing some more information up front, even if your IRB didn't require it.

Unless this is a very generous approximation, 2.0 is less than 2.1-2.4.

Even setting that aside, homes per capita is not indicative of supply and demand - if everyone in SF wants to live in a house alone, it really won't matter that SF has slightly more homes per capita.

It's inconsequential until it isn't. All of the other threats you mention are still threats, but if a government has a database of every resident's fingerprints and decided to use this to arrest every person who could be traced to a protest venue, a reasonable person would very quickly change their mind.

The way I see it, a government not having my fingerprints creates one more barrier to possible tyrannical actions like this and is thus a good thing.

Yes, but without an account, at least on mobile, you can't change any settings besides light/dark mode and language, which is pretty annoying.

You want to do right by people? Then put a big notice in the app, on your website, in the forums, etc., and refund subscriptions for anyone who's paid based on previously faulty information. If you're having folks to reach out to you over HN where you'll manually upgrade their accounts and shrugging your shoulders at being double-paid, then this is more of a PR stunt than doing right.

Sure, but I think the point is that you can build up some level of spice tolerance over time. Doesn't really make sense to judge someone's spice tolerance based on before they built it up.

And it's also mentioned in the third paragraph:

They were originally shot in black and white, then hand-coloured by artists — a technique common at the time.

Here's the dangerous way I put it that I only tell senior people: understand why rules were made and make sure the people who made them would be happy.

If you aren't absolutely sure those senior people know what they're doing, the this is a great way to end up with originalism.

And to your point, if anyone ever asked an engineer to insert another floor between 8th and 9th floor of a 15 story building, they'd laugh at them. In software engineering, this is possible even if hard.

Ah yes, another cocktail party idea [1] where a software engineer pretends like they understand civil engineering.

Ranked pairs does not have a quadratic ballot length, since all of the preference information can be computed from a single ranking of the candidates.

This doesn't address the question in any way except to note that you also use Merkle Trees. Do you reply to any comment mentioning TypeScript with a link to your Show HN post as well?

And your response is code for "I'm unfamiliar with the concept of oligopolies, and believe that every consumption choice should be based on logic alone." Come on.

That assumes that there's no other way to get your password than by accessing the contents of your password manager. The service itself could have its passwords/hashes leaked, and people unfortunately do reuse passwords across services even with a password manager, so it's very plausible for someone to get your password but not the answers to your questions.

Even in a web of trust, you're delegating trust to someone that you treat as an authority. Especially in practice, where the long-term outcomes of webs of trust tend to be either (1) the scale is nowhere near sufficient due to the effort involved in verification, or (2) you end up de facto trusting some authorities who can provide that scale, at the cost of the identity verification being less meaningful. Sure, it might be easier to cut off or reroute trust if things go south, I don't see us reaching a critical mass for a significant scale any time soon.

This seems nearly identical to Diataxis, which I've been telling people about for years: https://diataxis.fr/

What's the history here? Is one a fork of the other?

Credit Karma spun their tax service off to Cash App. So Intuit doesn't own both.

This argument is essentially "a broken clock is right twice a day - so if your clock is broken, don't bother fixing it".

It might draw in potential customers who believe in it, yes. Or it might give manufacturers the cover to not include any quantity of said herbs in the product.

This argument is essentially whataboutism - any issues in the practice of modern evidence-based medicine does not in any way validate the efficacy of homeopathy or similar pseudoscientific approaches. On top of that, arguing that most medical recommendations are unnecessary and overpriced doesn't help the case of homeopathy or chiropractic either - I mean, at that point, why charge patients any more than the cost of sugar or a short massage?

If you don't live in Japan, use your US passport to enter/exit Japan and only carry that passport with you. They might be able to see that you also have Japanese citizenship, but they won't be able to take your Japanese passport if you don't have it.

If you fly from the US to Japan and show a Japanese passport, your chances of getting caught are much higher - all they have to do is ask why you don't have a US visa stamp in your Japanese passport.

You just have to make sure you don't accidentally overstay your visa in Canada with either country since they probably check this by entry/exit dates on a specific passport.

A lot of consulates don't enforce the choice of nationality. Every time I renew my Japanese passport in the US I need to show proof of lawful residence, which is my American passport. I just get handed a brochure about choosing and it doesn't get brought up again until the next renewal.

It depends on when this happened. It's two years after you reach the age of majority, which was 20 for a long time but is now 18. Since 2022 you have until 20 to decide, down from 22 previously: https://www.moj.go.jp/EN/MINJI/minji06.html

I assume it was intentional, but the irony of this comment is fantastic.

Out of curiosity - what kind of window performance are you talking about? What's the advantage of tilt turn over double hung?

The "philosophy on performance reviews" linked here seems to be only a few paragraphs, which I'd hardly characterize as a lot on Deming's views. His philosophy is essentially "performance reviews reward conformity rather than improvement of the review process".

Holy superiority complex batman. I suppose you're right - health is the most precious thing over all else, and people who value silly things like socializing indoors over a meal have no one but themselves to blame if humanity is wiped out by a suddenly deadly variant.

I get it - many people have returned to pre-pandemic behavior (I'd hoped we'd at least keep masking when sick with anything) but this type of comment is certainly not going to win hearts and change opinions.

Someone who thinks about how carb-rich a meal is isn't the target audience for a book like this.

Cool to see that this is moving along - Jupyter merge conflicts have caused me a huge amount of headache over the years.

My solution has been to switch over to Quarto notebooks (mentioned in the post with Jupytext), but I see the issue around saving cell outputs.

I'm curious why one would specifically want to save cell outputs as is in the Jupyter notebook, rather than archiving that in some other format. Sure, that might require putting a lot of information in one page (e.g., if that output is dependent on many other code cells and their outputs), but that just moves the linkage problem around - you'd have to have some way of indicating that the specific cell output was generated by a specific version of cell code (and the order in which they were run, sometimes multiple times).
