Yet. They also didn’t allow you to create or install third party apps on the first iPhones too
FootballMuse··on LabCorp’s at-home Covid-19 test kit is the first to be authorized by the FDA
Sounds like a positive test would be a relief then.

So if I get one of these tests, and it comes back negative, what does that mean?

Aren't those inconsistent across platforms? Also you must use the "super" key/combo, and there's only one. Not to mention the internationalization concerns.

FootballMuse··on Show HN: LibreRead 1.0 – Self-Hosted Free Ebook Reader
For the end user? No. For the self-hoster making the decision on whether or not to pick this solution? Yes.

The same goes with "Easy Installation". The end user doesn't care if the install or easy or hard.

You have to consider the dependencies, resource requirements, and manageability of anything you host.

FootballMuse··on Japan's fertility rate is rising
> An aging population leaves the country with fewer workers and more dependents.

How does a low birth rate create more dependents? If the birth rate was zero, then there would be no dependent children in 20 years. Increases in the birthrate would create more dependents in the short-medium term, but would only create more workers in the medium-long term.

Not to mention Github uses feature toggling. So even users of the same team can have different versions of the UI, but almost certainly across the entire user base.

I use Air Display quite a bit with a LiveReload web browser or an additional terminal in the second window, and it works great. Lowering the resolution speeds up the response, but I've never experienced a 4 second lag.

According to Avatron, Apple does not allow them to use USB. [1]

>> Can Air Display connect using a USB cable...

>> No. In order for iOS apps like Air Display to access the USB connector, its developer must be part of Apple’s Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad (MFi) program. As Avatron is not a hardware shop, we are not eligible for this program and therefore cannot support USB.

However, Jailbreaking the iPad is a workaround since you can create a USB private network for Air Display to connect. [2]

FootballMuse··on Show HN: Scaling PhantomJS With Ghost Town
At least for PhantomJS, there are 236 outstanding prs/issues since their last release Jan-26 with only 19 commits mostly dealing with Travis.

Also the development update Twitter stream @PhantomJS is not very active.

FootballMuse··on Tarsnap price cut
120GB * ($0.25/GB)/Month * 12 Months/Year = $360/Year correct?

So, $30/Year buys you only 10GB-month of storage on Tarsnap.

FootballMuse··on IRS Says Bitcoin Is Property
How does this work when mining in a pool is nearly continuous? You earn 0.000000x btc per share in a pool, and you might earn a share every few seconds.

What exchange do I use to determine the value of the btc?

FootballMuse··on IE10 falls below IE9 in market share
If you extrapolate the raw numbers, then yes, you can conclude there are no Chrome users at all. But no one would accept this as fact knowing the sampling methodology.

You can, however, still build confidence intervals based on biased samples. In your example, with 100% certainty, between 0-1% of the population uses Chrome. Yet of course, even the 99.999% CI will be wrong due to the severe bias. Now, if in your example only a 1% biased sample were looked at, the 100% CI would be 0-99%. Much less information. Note that you may also still see trends in biased samples if the sample is consistent.

If biased samples were meaningless, then how are Stat Counter or Net Applications results valuable at all since they are not random samples?

FootballMuse··on IE10 falls below IE9 in market share
A population is a population and a 1% sampling has much less meaning than a 99% sampling, whether or not it is random. A larger sample always has more statistical relevance/confidence.
FootballMuse··on IE10 falls below IE9 in market share
It is very important for accuracy. Otherwise there wouldn't be a consistent bias between the two. Uniques vs page views doesn't account the large differences. As you said, independent random sampling would certainly result no significant difference, but neither Net Applications' nor Stat Counter's samples are random. Also, their samples are mostly consistent. When there vast differences between different countries, site topic, and market, sample size is very important.

To your other point, election statistics is much more delicate than you make it out to be. They are also not truly random samples, but they are different for each poll--which helps. They also weight the results by location and expected turn out which is a whole different set of assumptions. If surveying the first 1000 people to answer their phone with consent and using the raw numbers was enough, then there wouldn't be any significant differences in the polls.
