This article uses the word “conceptions” throughout, but it sounds like the only data is about births. These births would have all occurred after the recessions started.
Did the original paper rule out the hypothesis that the recession actually affected births via an increase in miscarriages and abortions instead? I can’t access it.
It’s basically drain cleaner (which becomes salty water as soon as it gets mixed with an acid), plus digested meat juice.
Even better, add an indicator light to the hardware that shows the OS is asking and not an app (although this suffers from the same problem that users need to notice something is absent).
That's only if you're using a third-party keyboard, I think.
Any individual bit could be noise, so it might take 2-3 bits to transmit something unambiguous (via an error-correcting code or similar).
If so, I think the speed advantage disappears.

... only in the unlikely event that my vote changes the outcome of an election, and the candidate I voted for would also be able to affect such a big legislative change.
Millenials as a group might be worse off if many traded away their right to vote, but that's not the same thing as saying that individuals benefit in a tangible way from that right.
The authors state that HashCat uses Markov models and that they outperform it.
Maybe the Department of Justice? I don't know if they go for that sort of thing. The only other option I can think of off the top of my head is the FCC.
As a non-lawyer, I'd expect to miss something important from the legislative text.
Your point about relying on other organizations is a good one, though. I generally take this approach, but I wasn't expecting anything to have been published yet on such a new bill. It looks like the ACLU, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and SPLC all issued positive press releases, though.
Huh? The article is written by Harris and suggests that a piece of legislation she wrote will solve the problem.
Reforming bail sounds like a good idea. I don't know why anyone would trust Harris on the issue, though.
If she wanted to shrink jails when she was California's Attorney General, she could have respected court orders requiring prisoners to be released.
Likewise, she could have stopped "defending convictions obtained by local prosecutors who inserted a false confession into the transcript of a police interrogation, lied under oath and withheld crucial evidence from the defense."

Yeah, "150 years of lichen biology" would be much better.
No one in this thread claimed to be God. It's worth remembering that the whole point of Hospital IT is to facilitate the doctors' and administrators' work.
They claimed (or at least implied) that you'd be buying something closer to raw hunks of fruit and vegetables in the bag, so it would be fresh.

It is, it's just not accurate.
It doesn't avoid the R interface, which is GPL'd (version 3).
Several of the universal perturbation vectors in Figure 4 remind me a lot of Deep Dream's textures.
I wonder what it is about these high-saturation, stripy-spiraly bits that these networks are responding to.
Is it something inherent in natural images? In the training algorithm? In our image compression algorithms? Presumably, the networks would work better if they weren't so hypersensitive to these patterns, so finding a way to dial that down seems like it could be pretty fruitful.
I was doored once. I remember flying through the air and thinking, "oh, this isn't so bad." Then I landed and almost broke my hand.
Right. And to be even more specific, they are not compensated in any way (except occasionally by perks with zero marginal cost, like a free online subscription).
Some editors, who manage peer review, do get paid, but the reviewers don't.
Here's one impressive counterexample: https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.08772

If the courts declare him a "vexatious litigant", he'd have a much harder time filing these suits.
Some of each. It's hard to blame the media for thinking it could be important in light of the press conferences and press releases. The last section of this article gives some details.

In block [37] of the ipython notebook, are racial main effects missing? I only see interactions.

Not a great example. Apple's graphics layer on OS X is very closely tied to PDF, and basically uses the Adobe Imaging Model that PDF is based on. It actually does include a PDF-based scripting language for drawing and updating shapes on the screen.
To some extent, this could be addressed with standard error detection/correction techniques (e.g. error-correcting codes). But that would make the strings longer and often wouldn't help until they made it to a computer anyway.
The suggestion I've heard is that the xkcd style is a good way to signal "this is just an informal whiteboard sketch, not a highly-refined analysis". I think there's a place for that.
In both models, there's an unobserved state that changes over time according to relatively simple rules, and you get indirect information about that state every so often.
In Kalman filters, you assume the unobserved state is Gaussian-ish and it moves continuously according to linear-ish dynamics (depending on which flavor of Kalman filter is being used).
In HMMs, you assume the hidden state is one of a few classes, and the movement among these states uses a discrete Markov chain.
In my experience, the algorithms are often pretty different for these two cases, but the underlying idea is very similar.

How? With a bad review, or some other method? I didn't see anything on the App Store page, but I might have been looking in the wrong places.
