Courts typically do not care as much about what an expert witness thinks, as rather why they think it - and whether their reasons hold up enough that the conclusions they support should be accepted.

It'd be funny if we were working together and just telling the same story behind our aliases.

Counter-example: I've used DKIM as evidence in court.

Oh it wasn't a criticism of the article!

Somewhat difficult to notice in a skim the article (but important) is that one of the figures criticized is Jeff Bezos, who owns the newspaper in question.

I don't think it's right that statistical significance is independent of population. 1 sample out of a population size 1 is plainly more significant than 1 in 100.

Just a thought - Circular keycaps exist, and by definiton have more space between them. They presumably have the same _minimum_ gap at the left and right, though, so might not work.

This looks really interesting and functional - your intro video has me thinking of all sorts of use cases.

Itwould be good to know what powers it - I couldn't work that out from the page at https://www.rtrvr.ai/docs. Is it based on an OpenAI LLM for example, or something bespoke?

This would be excellent! I expect it also costs more to insure a hydrogen-powered zeppellin compared to more modern and stable technologies.

Please make sure you protect your design in the UK and EU by registering it. It doesn't cost a huge amount, and the design is striking and different enough that it would be a shame if it was copied.

(Unless you're comfortable with that of course!)

I always just assume it's the magic of selection bias.

Now they're all gonorrhea.

You are absolutely right that I didn't consider that. Thank you!

The reason is because I have just been typing into a table in a WYSIWYG editor which undoes the problem for me, returning to the beginning of each cell.So I tricked myself, because that is of course not what's being discussed in the article.

> Nobody ever wants to be in the middle of a line, then move down to the next line and continue writing in the next column from where you left off. No real-world program ever wants to do that.

I routinely do this while drafting text and tables, and isn't this akin to what multi-cursor input achieves in many text editors?

This is very close to the subject of the article. In the following quotation, "consortia" means (I think) globs of algae:

> After comparing the experimental pyrolysis breakdown products, which were able to be converted to biomass using a consortia, it was hypothesized that equivalent chemicals found on asteroids could also be converted to biomass with the same nutritional content as the pyrolyzed products. This study is a mathematical exercise that explores the potential food yield that could be produced from these methodologies.

Interesting - I hadn't heard that one.

I hope I wasn't being unfair, and I certainly didn't mean to criticise.

I don't understand why this isn't configurable. Why can't the basic data structures (of one email after another in serial) be displayed in either order depending on mail client settings?

Admittedly I haven't looked into it because I'm perfectly fine with top posted emails. But I routinely sort files in my directory. Why not emails in a displayed thread?

I just want to interject that "50K KM" was fun to parse out. I like the way two conventions collided here. 50Mm would have been correct, but confusing.50MM more so.

> What is the point except morbid humor?

It'll be part of the time-spent-eating calculation, I expect.

Edit: I think I found the direct quote among a trio from a Goodreads review, which gives more context [0]:

> To get a rough idea of whether the flying squirrel’s nest indeed affords much insulation, I heated a potato to simulate the body of a squirrel and examined its cooling rates.

> I do not know how many seeds a chipmunk usually packs into each of its two pouches—I easily inserted sixty black sunflower seeds through the mouth into just one pouch of a roadkill.

> Some years ago, I took on the brave, or foolish, task of measuring hornets’ body temperatures, grabbing and stabbing them with an electronic thermometer as they left their nests.

Like the Tree Octopus?

Thanks for the inspiration. I did essentially this as a project with the kids today, though I used js to allow updating by anyone in the family.

I'm certain Satoshi was thinking of Hashcash! But I did mean what I said, though it wasn't until Martti Malmi released his emails with Satoshi that I knew this, and so might not be well known:

> It can already be used for pay-to-send e-mail. The send dialog is resizeable and you can enter as long of a message as you like. It's sent directly when it connects. The recipient doubleclicks on the transaction to see the full message. If someone famous is getting more e-mail than they can read, but would still like to have a way for fans to contact them, they could set up Bitcoin and give out the IP address on their website. "Send X bitcoins to my priority hotline at this IP and I'll read the message personally."

Satoshi Nakamoto's first visionfor Bitcoin was just this - pay-to-send email.

No, homemade lunches are fine: but parents making them are instructed to avoid the worst allergens like nuts and peanuts.

Your username would suffer from this policy, as would anyone describing themselves as a hacker.

In the UK, many schools do just this to defend allergic people against the threat that homemade lunches would otherwise pose.

Under "Required Qualifications" on the recruitment page it reads:

> "Valid state driver's license is required."

hmm. This led me down a Reddit rabbit hole with no perfect answer to the obvious question.

Strange way to rate the success of civilization.

As long as the grass grows majority-green and the water is majority-blue, I don't care about the colour of the humans.

That's correct, but only for present evidence - what about the past evidence, that you didn't know you needed until it was too late? IA is broad enough to cover the past five times out of ten.
