I'm having a really hard reading this. Not only are the paragraphs are so short, they each feel like part of a uncompleted thought. The content doesn't feel AI generated, but maybe…

With Titanium Backup unmaintained, Neo Backup [1] works pretty well. It has some potential issues with restoring wifi/bluetooth/sms as those were still experimental, last I used it…

From the study: > It became imperative to develop an operational definition for the music variables slow tempo and fast tempo; that is, how slow is slow and how fast is fast? To an…

What you're quoting is their literature review, not their study. Their study was: >... conducted in a medium-size store operated by a large, nationally known chain of supermarkets …

This is the primary reason I root and install greenify. To prevent these spammy apps, that I sometimes use, from running in the background and sending notifications. Unless I open …

The fact that PE guy spent time looking up the son means he already had a vibe something was off about "Joe". So while I agree that if you lie about small things I'd think you'd al…

I misread it as "Hacker News bot that automated archive finding and tormenting"...

Is there somewhere a good list of spending categories to use with it? Every now and then I run into a transaction that I can't quite fit into any category and have to squeeze it in…

https://www.fourcc.org/ used to be very helpful for looking up codecs and pixel formats. However, the site seems to have been taken over by what looks like the typical review/amazo…

>NumPy (and Pandas) is still missing a proper missing value (NA). But if it's missing a missing value, doesn't that mean that it has a proper missing value? I'll let myself out now…

Do you know what led Mozilla to stop this experiment (I'm assuming spam)? Will this not be an issue for your instances as well?

Thank you! This is something that has been annoying the hell out of me on instagram using desktop Firefox. Every time I login it prompts to show notifications; I always decline so …

>Now you have to tell your household "I didn't have time yet to put all the clean stuff out but the light is off, please remember that". Search for "dishwasher magnet", which is ma…

This is very annoying. I sometimes want to see how BBC is covering events from a UK perspective, but it always redirects to bbc.com. I could switch my VPN to UK, but it never seems…

It's an artifact of history, when 200 years ago it may have taken weeks for states to count votes, certify and send representatives with the results, assuming they made it to the c…

It symbolizes nothing. A flag is a symbol for an idea and means nothing on its own. A death is not a symbol for anything but means a lot on its own. I really don't understand how t…

Sure, but there's a difference between coming with riot gear and attacking protestors, and posting 10 cops to guard all of congress and then have them walk away when protestors sho…

I think this is the difference between a valid argument and a sound argument. A valid argument means the conclusion follows from the premise, kinda like the quoted argument in the …

Ok, but I think your examples are specific to the social sciences where the method used is not sufficiently close to the scientific method to be reliable enough. Hence you're likel…

Isn't it expected that as scientists understand their field in greater depth, they make less mistakes and their papers would be closer to the truth and be rejected less? It's not l…

You seem to be conflating the problem of weak or no pear review (i.e. the reason why paper-mill publications are shitty), with the problem of judging a paper by the author's name a…

If we value interpretability for the particular model, e.g. as in the loan example or where by law you have to make sure race was not a consideration, I'd say yes. In places where …

I don't. Please elaborate.
