My guess for why they chose the letter g is that gnu can be phonetically the same as just nu, but keeps people from interpreting the name of the project as a dumb spelling of “new”.

Its less about naked baby pictures and more about a network of internet connected cameras, which we know that government agencies access, being absolutely everywhere.

And because of all my family members and neighbors with their ring cameras and Alexa microphones. It’s ridiculous.

Advertising works, and changes your habits and opinions, whether you acknowledge this or not.

Shörider’s dilemma

Would you mark this as nsfw, please? Her ports are all showing!

There’s certainly a lot to discuss, relative to experimental design and ethics. Peer review and good design hopefully minimize the clearly undesirable scenarios you describe as well as other subtle sources of error.

I was really just trying to explain what we’re looking at on op’s graph.

My limited knowledge on this subject: The z-score is how many standard deviations you are from the mean.

In statistical analysis, things are often evaluated against a p (probability) of 0.05 (or 5%), which also corresponds to a z-score of 1.96 (or roughly 2).

So, when you’re looking at your data, things with a z score >2 or <2 would correspond to findings that are “statistically significant,” in that you’re at least 95% sure that your findings aren’t due to random chance.

As others here have pointed out, z-scores closer to 0 would correspond to findings where they couldn’t be confident that whatever was being tested was any different than the control, akin to a boring paper which wouldn’t be published. “We tried some stuff but idk, didn’t seem to make a difference.” But it could also make for an interesting paper, “We tried putting healing crystals above cancer patients but it didn’t seem to make any difference.”

Its because most people only care about their comfort and convenience right now and in the very near future.

I think they just peered over the edge and were convinced when they saw sphincter after sphincter.

This is more like a chart of, “does being smart help you stay above the poverty line?”

I’d like to add that librewolf is a great privacy focused browser based on Firefox.

I’d say the silliness seen here goes hand-in-hand with curiosity and intelligence, which makes them clever and effective hunters. This type of derpiness also earns them a rent free spot in monkey houses. So, dumb as it may seem, this is actually a very fit behavior.

It’s wise to question motives but in this case I get the feeling they’re the good guys.

It’s fun to pee at full power, but that’s how you end up with a varicose vein in your testicle.

Is the /j so we know you’re being a jerk?

(Seriously though, what does that mean?)

Knives, cutting boards, measuring devices, mixing bowls. Are you just having scrambled eggs for every meal?

Everybody has a price and those guys are getting paid a lot.

Capitalism enshitifies everything.
