The article says 1/3 are "at risk" of depression. It looks like the statistic is based on a web survey ( https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/9ac3/478bc1263be53f5150a54b... ), so I sup…

Why are GA aircraft so expensive? A C172 seems much simpler mechanically than a car. I can see that the price would be driven up by low volume and probably a much stricter QA/inspe…

The NABirds dataset: http://dl.allaboutbirds.org/nabirds . But it's North American birds, not sure if you specifically want to cover birds that show up in Finland or if that was ju…

> We wrote Google to ask the reason for this sudden move and they responded that AdNauseam had breached the Web Store’s terms of service, stating that “An extension should have a s…

Is there some evidence that changing the terminology this way has an effect -- say an increase in prosecutions or safer driving habits? I was surprised to come to the end of the ar…

That's what a "false positive" is but Wikipedia also has a separate article on "false positive rate", which gives the formula FP / (FP + TN) Where FP is number of false positives, …

I think the point of code signing is to ensure that the program was really written by Dropbox, so _if_ you trust Dropbox you should trust the program. That trust should definitely …

I'm surprised you can sign an executable, then modify it while preserving the validity of the signature, as I always though this is exactly what code signing is meant to prevent. C…

The Priceonomics article's main point is that raising speed limits doesn't (much) raise actual speed, so it's not inconsistent with papers (like the one you linked) that show that …

This is consistent with most drivers behaving like _archon_ (and like me). For example, if every driver thinks she can safely drive 90 mph, but 80%, like _archon_ and me, stay belo…

What is he misunderstanding? There's nothing in the post mentioning copyright or suggesting the author thinks he has a legal case. He just thinks New Relic are being jerks.

Maybe add iPod Touch to the not supported list in the app description. Although I know there aren't many of us!

Defense job creation is appealing because it's an easy way to use federal money for local benefit. If you want to fix bridges or something, you have to deal with people saying it's…

I've been assuming the use case is that you're not in a store. The world is Amazon's showroom.

The article blithely describes the "best" strategy, without defining "best." I believe the strategy is only best in the sense of giving the highest probability of ending up with th…
