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…

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 t…

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 …

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 in…

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 buil…

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 s…

> 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 …

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 we…

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 …

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 (…

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 pseudosc…

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 t…

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 passpo…

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 …

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?
