The authors are arguing that it should at least be sent out for review—not necessarily published.

> I think it's reasonable to demand that the journal regularly note corrections to stuff that it's published. It's absolutely insane to demand (via a giant article on Slate, no less) that they publish every refutation of anything they ever ran.

I don’t understand the distinction you are making here. Why would it be insane to publish refutations? In this case, they refused to even review the refutation.

It doesn’t compute the average. Consider this test case: [0,0,0,0,0,0,4]. Your snippet would return an average of 2.

>My source has been lost to the sands of time, but it rings true for me.

I think it is mentioned in Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker.

Perhaps dense fog, or whiteout blizzard conditions? I’m making the assumption that the server parses the data from the truck to determine what it is seeing.

I’m under the impression that that crockpot is only used for this purpose:

>She put all the bones into the crockpot that I brought home from my lab as well (which we keep for the express purpose of defleshing stuff that, well, still has squishy/hairy bits on it):

>We're the best software engineers the world has ever seen

Maybe some of you are, but people like me read HN too ;-)

What shell does that work in? On a mac, I have that set in my .inputrc and it does not propagate to python.

I think they should pay more. However, it is harder to track than a yearly checkbox for if they had a flu shot.

>At this point I’m not sure there’s a need for normal users to actually turn off Wi-Fi. The only real case would be something like airplane mode which already has its own setting.

I ran into a use case for turning off wifi the other day. My ISP was having problems and the wifi network could not reach the internet. Turning off wifi saved me the trouble of forgetting my wifi network, and then looking up / typing in the password when I rejoined.

Different political opinions aren't fake news. There are real people in Catalonia trying to submit ballots. In some places there are Spanish police trying to stop them.

Wikipedia says "June 2007", which I'll approximate to 10 years. That gives us 6.8 games per second.

I wouldn't expect them to ban it from talk pages though.

>As civil service, he can only be fired for cause.

I'm not clear on what "for cause" means for an acting director of the FBI. Wasn't the justification for firing Comey that he mishandled the Clinton email investigation? It looks blown out of proportion to me, but that might count as cause.

I think there is very little overlap between international travelers and Trump supporters.

It certainly must be both, which makes me wonder which how many of each. I wonder if text sentiment analysis is good enough to parse all of the 2016 edits and come up with an estimate of the political persuasion of each editor.

There are two definitions, the verb and the noun.

Because the NSA breaks into US-based companies too.

I'm confused; how does that work?

>tabloid journalists are scrupulously factual and accurate, while regular journalists more or less write whatever they want without much regard to whether it is true or even coherent

Do we exist in the same universe? When I visit the National Enquirer website, the current headline is "Hillary Clinton Caught With Lesbian Lovers". Meanwhile, the headline on the New York Times is "Cam Trump Win? Here Are the Decisive Battlegrounds".

For someone to be wrong, they have to have made a some statement that turned out to be incorrect. The people that disagreed with Columbus' calculations said that the earth was larger than Columbus gave it credit for. This was not an incorrect statement.

The comment was pretty clearly a joke.

I have been interested in trying psychedelics for this reason. I have some ability to visualize, but it's pretty limited. I experienced similar surprise when learning that doing things like picturing yourself on a beach was not meant to be a metaphor. I hope it's something I can experience at least once in my life.

I don't think having a lot of tabs open is a contrived use case. I have over a hundred tabs open in Firefox, and that's been pretty standard for me for at least a year.

Now there's a startup idea I can get behind!

During the storm, they threw everything they could overboard to make the boat lighter. They threw away their catch, as well as the hooks and line.

It certainly wouldn't be trivial for me, but I can't discount kefka saying it's trivial. There are lots of developers better than I am, and their trivial tasks are my extremely difficult challenges.

There has been a good amount of U.S. aid money going to Pakistan since the war on terror. Pakistan would have the incentive to prolong the war on terror, may have reasoned that a living Bin Laden was a cash cow.

> you'd still want to watch a video every now and then

My favorite example of this is YouTube repair tutorials. If I need to get something done, these can be irreplaceable. If I had a slow connection, but my car was up on the jack stand, I'd just have to wait.
