Having been in the bio sciences for quite a bit, I just want to drive home a point:
1. Designing experiments is easy. Designing good experiments is very hard. You have to isolate variables, make sure a hypothesis is actually being proven as much as possible. It can be disproven, etc.
2. Unders...

This is why A/B testing is a VERY flawed approach.
All the automated experimental frameworks in software really.
They have a power to the algorithms, but the results are rarely looked at with a scientific eye.

I have unloaded on him a few times about the fact that you can’t ever let your cursor stop on a show or else it starts playing. He claims they all have A/B test results saying that’s popular. I disagree.

Audio book voice actors are truly a special type of person.
Book series with dozens of characters, across all genders, unique voices and mannerisms each, sometimes over years and years of work.
I have no idea how they do it, I'd love to learn how their craft is even possible.

Dear Journalists that might still have a spine,
It is illegal for our law enforcement agencies to wiretap/track individuals for what might be a misdemeanor, such as illegally being in this country, but that is obviously happening since they're finding specific people on job sites or while shopping.

Apologizing for a mistake is a ...well, a mistake.
It doesn't really mean anything ya know?
It's like being punished for an accident.
You apologize when you realize what you did was the wrong thing by choice.

By the way, I truly didn't mean to call anyone at Blizzard lazy for that game. I think it's easily the best Diablo game out there for many reasons.
I wrote a bad turn of phrase, that caused me to step into the middle of 3 fandoms' various bullshit on accident
The devs on Diablo IV did amazing work

Interesting details around this.
When a ton of people have household solar any excess watts generated are "sent back to the grid".
They're not though, not really.
Australia actually had issues with this, and transformers designed to flow electrons one way started to blow up due to the backflow...

Australia has too much electricity in the afternoon, so they're just going to give it to people for free. Fascinating experiment.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

When Diablo IV came out I spent weeks saying how fun the game was. But in one post, I said that the way they scaled the monsters to the player's level was kind of a lazy design.
I worded it poorly, but that ended up getting retweet by Mike Ydorka, er, Ybarra...a sexual harassment enabler ....
