No, it compared individual students' grades before and after they lost access to recreational marijuana. They mention the local students because it was a group where no event happened so it helps show that there wasn't some other factor that brought up everyone's grades over that time.

Except this isn't an experiment, where they control the conditions. It's monitoring natural behavior. Just saying "placebo" makes no sense for this kind of study. That'd be like asking for a placebo in a national poll.

The kind of thing you're talking about would be an experiment, where they bring people in and use various measures to quantify various types of intelligence after smoking marijuana. In that situation yes you could use a placebo as one group. But even then it's not always appropriate, and just skimming an article and dismissing it by saying "no placebo!" makes no sense. Not all experiments do use or should use a placebo as part of their methodology, and this isn't even an experiment.

The bottom half-dozen comments on this article?

They said it's a reasonable assumption to believe your private keys likely weren't compromised. That's not the same as saying it's reasonable to not move the coins anyway.

I'm hoping the employee pictures at the bottom are after examples, otherwise there's no excuse for being that blurry.

As mentioned in the article, this species only appeared in the area 4 years ago, so I doubt removing them would be an issue to our immune system.

>who cares if he's arrogant? There's hundreds of big corporations manipulating media for financial gains.

That's a hell of a non-sequitor

The likelihood of successfully prosecuting a crime does not affect the reality of whether or not that crime occurred.

You didn't answer their question.

That's fundamentally not the "logic that is keeping us in this two party system". That logic is the logic of understanding our current electoral system. The US electoral system as it currently stands will inevitably result in a two-party system. Sure you can change which two parties it is, that's happened several times, but without changing First Past The Post you're not going to get any other system.

And now a "he also said", given his new statement admitting to the allegations.

The "defendant" has already admitted to the accusations and stepped down.

>A private company owned by the very people who apparently did the breach. Dmitri Alperovitc is Russian and owns Crowdstrike, the company that did the 'investigation'.

All Russians are not members of the Russian government...

>Going by what we see of the FBI they absolutely reek of incompetence, paying $1 million to unlock an iPhone is another example!

I mean, sure if you phrase it like that. Actually understanding the circumstances around that (completely unrelated to what we're talking about) situation would show that it wasn't really that simple.

The servers were investigated directly by a private company that specialized in such things, that the FBI regularly works with, and the results were handed over. It's really not that strange for an organization to balk at handing over it's private proprietary information to the federal government. Especially when there was a chance that within a year that government would be run by someone with a personal vendetta against said organization.

Those allegations caused the leader of the group to take refuge in a nation's embassy and stay there for years. They seem incredibly relevant to the organization, regardless of it's "purpose".

What you call cheating others call innovation. You have a personal view of what a "boat" is, but that doesn't mean it's shared by everyone, even just within the boating community.

I think the person designing this boat would also call your hypothetical cheating, but that doesn't make his boat cheating.

Submarines generally aren't sail-powered.

And what would be wrong with that? The goal is to have the shortest length of boat, a common measurement in boating. Obviously to achieve that you have to be clever with the attributes of the boat not under restriction. I'm sure no one would complain if you went for the "lowest underwater volume at time of departure" record, but I don't see how it's relevant here.

He's 33, hardly a "kid"

I've been told that a big selling point for Kotlin is that it was developed from actual usage and production rather than some of the more academic languages solving abstract (although still interesting) problems that day-to-day developers may not care much about.

Whether or not they're above it, there isn't any evidence that they've done it.

I don't get the problem with that either? Being an "artist", or "making apps" aren't hallowed titles. Are you treating it more like they're saying "You'll be a super successful musician" or "You'll be a multi-millionaire app maker"? Because I'm no seeing it like that.

> But 'getting started making music' is like you only need their product, trigger some samples and you can be an artist too.

I mean, is that wrong? Unless you stick to some elitist definition of artist, why is someone who plays with these samples to create something not being an artist?

Why is that the real question?

Did you read the article? The drone pilot says he never flew over the person's property.

It's not even a leak, it's just a tweet from WikiLeaks quoting a public article from 2005.

This isn't a WikiLeaks release, though. They're just quoting an article and making up a connection. You should treat WikiLeaks as a source of information, same as any other, and shouldn't trust unsupported claims they make.

For your first paragraph I agree, the Constitution does reinforce a 2-party system, but obviously the Republicans and Democrats didn't create the Constitution.

For your second paragraph, do you have examples of the "onerous requirements"? Because looking at the ballotpedia list[1] I don't see anything in there that is too onerous.

And again for your final paragraph, I agree that the system supports the lesser-of-two-evils way of thinking, but that isn't something instituted by Democrats or Republicans. It's built into the system at it's most fundamental level, the Constitution.

WikiLeaks quotes a 2005 NYTimes article in a tweet that tunnels exist that were financed by the CIA and fabricates idea that the exact tunnels involved in the recent strike were directly built by the CIA. Nothing coming from an actual leak WikiLeaks is releasing.
