Basically now they can do a meta study on how the review process of IRB has flaws. As shown, if you intentionally try to bypass the IRB, apparently you can. It's even reproducible.

I actually hacked something together like that and it surprisingly looks much better in a video than in real life. I guess the main reason being that we have two eyes and the brain still realizes it is flat (which is weird because it doesn't look flat in a video).

From my experience living in Korea and the fact that Korea has one of the lowest productivity of all oecd countries, it is half-half.

A lot of the time is actually not "hard-working" but rather drizzling some work.

This is partly because you know it is expected that you stay long hours (and so you stay long hours without being explicitly asked) so you might as well just do your work slowly.

Also it is partly that nobody can work concentrated for such long hours. And a lot of time is wasted by people not asking when they are stuck with any kind of problem / task (losing ones face / looking incompetent problem).

Clicked it because no idea what RVs are: Recreational Vehicles, meaning vehicles with fancy interior, e.g. kitchen and so on

It's a partial vacuum not a full vacuum. Stopped watching at that point..

The singularity? :p

"The solution might be found in a form of constraint: more standardization of the time for work and the time for life." And stuff gets even more crowded because everyone is free at the same time, yay.

Normally it is called sanitized, but that doesn't make a good headline

Most tap water in Germany is "recycled" water. I think this goes for most of Europe? Drinking tap water and adding your on carbonate is even a thing here (German use the word as synonym for carbonated water). "If anything, recycled wastewater is relatively sweet" - Said no tap water drinker ever There are still worlds between the US and Europe..

They don't charge you until they ship, so basically you are just saving the spot and can cancel before they ship when reviews are available (hopefully?): https://twitter.com/PalmerLuckey/status/684540696951308288

It rubs me wrong that nobody here considers that maybe the guy is really called Achmed.

But then the joke is on you I guess

Still wouldn't change much because, thanks god, the US law is not global ^^

Giving a German view on that, where tuition is free: In Germany imho sometimes the problem is that professors don't really care much about the teaching, because they actually want to do research and teaching is just an nuisance for them. But that it is kind of okay, because you don't pay anything and you can always skip classes, as attendance is not mandatory. So basically if you don't learn shit in that lecture just go to the library or study at home (or do bbq in the park if you can afford it).

Now, I was under the impression the problem of shitty professors / lectures, who don't want to teach or are bad at it, was solved in the US because people pay a shitload of tuition. If the university has bad teaching, people don't go there and the university doesn't get money. I read somewhere that e. g. the MIT has a grades for their professors by the students and the professors get into trouble if their grades are bad.

So from my viewpoint, students have the right to demand good teaching if they pay money. But this doesn't give you a free ticket for a degree (if you just can pay money to get a degree, the degree is not worth anything). A degree comes with after you have a certain knowledge in a field (not fully accurate, but that's about it). Professors should have to care of their students. It might be just a small part of their workload and they actually want to just do research but their university makes money with it. If their university gives them too much workload and not enough time for teaching, the system of the university is broken. This is imho the cases for many universities (I'm especially talking about all the research paper print factories which call themselves universities).

The article with the posters of the students is a typical example of getting problems wrong (by going to extremes).

South Korea has(or had, they may have changed it in the last few months) a law that enforces the usage of ActiveX for everything which needs security (e. g. online banking, online shopping)

There was a startup at my university which also mass produced spider silk. The stuff they do you can see on this website with awful bullet points: https://www.amsilk.com/industries/biosteel-fibers/

I was really wondering, because Japanese doesn't even have a Q

And so much other stuff is wrong with this report. I wonder who paid for making crap like this

Suggestions on title, etc. are welcome. It's my first Hackernews

Maybe it's the other way round. If you feel healthy you don't mind working longer..

That's what the numerics course is for, at least at my university

I didn't know apple invented multi-touch.
