To take your fair coin example, publication bias is when the only studies that get published are the ones that show an unfairness in the coin – the rest of the studies that simply find 50% heads and 50% tails (aka a fair coin) don't get published because they're not interesting.
It's also my personal observation that someone's college major has no bearing on their ability to think critically.
> During the Iraq war, reporters informed us that a mob of jubilant Iraqis toppled the statue of Saddam Hussein in Firdos Square. Never mind that there were so few local people trying to pull the statue down that they needed the help of a U.S. military crane.
Here's an (edited) video of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snyz8sn2-z4
I'm 90% certain I watched this live at home in the morning when I was home sick from school. There were a smattering of people trying to bring it down and then the crowd got bigger and then the U.S. crane came in and helped. This happened over the course of an hour or two. I remember thinking it was cool that U.S. military helped out.
Where does this claim of the false narrative come in?
Martyjs (and the marry-express module) makes this very easy to do in that you can write your application without having to consider the context in which it is running (server or client).
I think the backend DB integration is a separate concern from how to build isomorphic js apps.
In terms of test coverage I don't have much experience testing js apps so I can't speak to the pain points there.

This may help you out. I created this after also struggling to find a good isomorphic example app.
The copy on the website suggests it's a mine clearing device but it doesn't seem you can use these to methodically clear a tract of land in order to 'reclaim' it - the paths that these things take are subject to winds and the terrain. Also there's the issue of retrieving the device to repair it and then if you can't retrieve it, there's the issue of these things littering their debris everywhere.
Then at the end of the video he says that it's a tool for local peoples to "cheaply survey the danger in their own environment". This makes more sense. If rolling this thing over a piece of land causes a detonation then you know the area around the detonation is likely to contain more mines so you can avoid that area.
Maybe someone with more insight or a better understanding can chime in.
What an excellent straw man you have constructed.
You know what's more damaging than snarkiness? Hyperbole, group think, and poor rhetoric. Hacker News, reddit, and Imgur have it in spades.
Have those journalists been subjected to 'extreme retaliation'?
Perhaps we don't hear about it frequently not because there is a conspiracy among 'Israeli supporters' (we all know what you mean bro!) but because the issue is not so pressing or widespread as you would have us believe?
Are you advocating for some sort of 'red line' on the use of drones much like on the use of chemical weapons so that the use of such weapons anywhere in any context would incur reprisals from the international community.
That's really the only thing I can think of that would make this make your statement relevant. Regardless of what people in the US think of the legitimacy of using drones, unaligned parties will use them if they can.
So I guess that comes down to what Rice's exact views are.
Personally, I doubt she's completely against the idea of data privacy in all cases and thus it's possible that Dropbox's existing views and policies on data privacy are compatible with hers.
And anyway, I doubt that Dropbox could or would stop responding to FISA requests or warrants regardless of who's on the board considering that they operate in the US.
The statement is meant to address the data privacy concerns raised about her appointment. This doesn't mean the concerns are valid, just that they exist and Dropbox is aware of them. The alternative would be to not address the concerns and look completely out of touch with or intentionally ignoring the frenzy of the past few days.
1. Rice wasn't brought on for anything that has to do with data privacy and thus her views on data privacy are irrelevant.
2. Rice doesn't have an uncontrollable compulsion to send people's data to the NSA and thus it's unlikely she'll be sneaking off to install backdoors.
I didn't find the groceries/food to be all that expensive.
"Revealed: Apple and Google’s wage-fixing cartel involved dozens more companies, over one million employees" - 106 characters
HN has an 80 character limit for titles.
The statement contains no judgement either way.
Sounds like you're the target market for Glenn Greenwald's new news organization.
This has been my experience at both HackDuke and PennApps with the additional issue of favoritism towards students from the host college.
Sometimes waiting a few minutes and trying to turn it on again works.
(I listened to your interview on Javascript Jabber.)
Not really a backdoor, just remote administration.
