Also, could someone comment on the effect size of b = -.001, which is within the 95% CI. Because if that translates into a day in a hundred years in "longevity" terms or something like that, than I wouldn't call the result "significant", even though the 0 is not technically crossed.

Where in your link does it talk about the "both sides" of the spectrum?

Would you rather edit a messy dataset in pandas or in Excel? What about automatically generating reports? Going to give managers your ipython printout?

>loading those files into Pandas or R

What is "massive" for you? I was under impression you can't use R or pandas for anything that doesn't fit into memory.

How much is your invested capital?

Speaking of Dutch companies, I think I may be getting a job offer as a Data Scientist from booking.com. Anyone working there? Is it a decent company to work for? Ok pay and relocation package (would be moving from Norht America)? Thanks.

Thanks.

By training I am not a computer scientist, but an applied mathematician, so it is a little difficult for me to make judgement calls on things like type system, lazy evaluation, unary/variadic (don't even know what that means). I am interested in AI (machine learning) and statistical inference. I was looking at Lisp/Scheme because I know that AI needs gave birth to Lisp. Plus you have newer things like Church[1] that extends Scheme to deal with probabilistic models.

Off-topic: I want to learn a functional programming language, and I was thinking to go with Scheme (because, you know, SICP...) Would there be any advantage for me to go with Haskell instead?

Right, it just seemed like they didn't make any connection whatsoever between this particular research and a concrete naval/engineering problem. Kind of like saying "look this is math, engineering is important to Taiwan, engineers use math".

Just randomly looked up one of the publications. It's not my area, so I can't talk about the meat of the paper itself, but what does the discussion section have to do with anything?

Yes, it is a rather geeky thing to say.

Is that prior ever used in practice? How does it generalize to several predictors and interaction terms?

Here we go again...

Since we are on the subject of PostgreSQL, does anyone know of a good resource that would teach me how to create webapps where each "customer" would get their own "database"? What are the best practices for that? Also, what are the best practices for ALTER'ing tables in production (e.g. adding/deleting columns).

Here's a concrete (made-up) example: I want to write a webapp where people would sign up to do some personal tracking. They create variables they are interested in (weight, mood, calory intake, etc.) And then enter their data daily. So for each customer I need to have a different database with different columns, and I want them to be able to add/delete variables "on the fly". Is it very straightforward, and hard to get wrong? Or are there "best practices" for this sort of thing? Thanks.

So, probably switching back to "The Ukraine" soon then ;)

Not really offensive but definitely screaming "American!" We would more likely cross our legs in "feminine" way.

As a Russian, it is spot on (well, except for "Did you know that bribes are illegal in America" bit)

Telegam FTW!!!

No way! I just picked up a book of his poems at my local second hand shop, come back home, open hacker news and see him mentioned. What are the odds!

Maybe it's a PR tactic to get everyone who doesn't have it yet to download it?

Ok, I think I get it. So bitcoin is basically an alternative investment that is more liquid than, say, art.

I guess a follow up question, then. Internet geeks seem to really be pro- bitcoin. Do you think money laundering is not a big deal compared to the benefits of bitcoin? Do you think there is anything that should be done to try to fight it?

That doesn't make sense to me. You're saying the banks won't let the criminal put their cash in the bank, but if the criminal converts the cash to bitcoins and back to real money they somehow will?

Either way I don't think places like Dubai or Switzerland have any problem with Russian drug money.

Could someone please ELI5 if I was a very wealthy Russian criminal involved, say, in counterfeit, drugs, human trafficking and/or technological scams, how exactly can bitcoin help me "launder" my wealth?

Someone's getting fired tonight.

Be mostly vegetarian, with high percentage of diverse raw leafy stuff and non-modified oils (olive, sunflower, etc), everything else in moderation, and you'll be fine. Avoid any chemicals whose purpose is to increase yield, protect from plant/animal diseases, or augment taste.

This will be the official reason why it will become illegal to bring mirrors to the protest.

I grew up in south eastern Ukraine (as Russian as Ukraine gets). I'm still in touch with some of my childhood friends, and the views are pretty split in my hometown. One friend that I went to school with always posts all kinds of pro-Europe anti-Yanukovich petitions online. At the same time I just received an email from another friend this morning and his opinion is "Those fucking protesters are turning Kiev into shit, good thing we don't have that in our town. We did have some but they got shit thrown at them [literally what he said], so they sit at home now." Basically his opinion is that it's western governments trying to manipulate Ukrainians.

This isn't any different than being a patent troll.
