I think I’m too Finnish to understand this joke 😅 Can somebody explain it to me please?
Oh yeah it’ll work for any “sensitive” statement
Better than no data, I guess
There’s actually a few different methods that can give you at least more accurate results if not 100% accurate (which polling never really is in the first place.)
Eg. list experiments are a potentially useful method. You start off with a list of statements like “I like candy” or whatever and you ask people how many of those they agree with (ie. not which ones, just the amount), which gives you an approximate baseline. Then you give another set of people the same list but with eg. “I support the war in Ukraine” added on (hypothetical example, nobody please get pedantic about the wording), and you then compare the total number of agreed-on statements with your baseline. Here’s an example from LSE last year that used this method: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2022/04/06/do-russians-tell-the-truth-when-they-say-they-support-the-war-in-ukraine-evidence-from-a-list-experiment/
Its insane that people now think you can somehow ignore a majority vote because you don’t like the result.
Making a bad decision doesn’t mean you can never, ever rethink that decision and have to stick with it no matter what.
If the majority doesn’t like the result, then what’s the point of not reconsidering things?
Ideas are a dime a dozen, unfortunately; doing shit is where the money comes from, and even a bad idea can make you rich if you follow through on it and get lucky.
Don’t shove things into your orifices.

It’s “penopodes”
Edit: also actually penes (pēnēs)
Yeah it’s like that but dumber.
Heh, and of course there’s a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planking_(fad)
“Think of the flower of Ukrainian youth!” sounds much better than “stop resisting and let the Russians occupy part of your country”, though
I’m not sure which thought is scarier: that you don’t know what you’re signing up for, or that you do know and you enjoy fixing undecidable formatting fuckups manually
Semantic whitespace problems can easily be literally impossible to solve automatically. One of the dumbest fucking ideas anybody ever came up with in computing and its inventor if anyone belongs in YAML Hell. As a fuckup it’s not quite as bad as null
, but that ain’t exactly a high bar
There’s a special place in hell for the inventor of semantically significant whitespace.
YAML itself is one of the circles of hell. You have to copy-paste YAML from web etc sources with dubious formatting for all eternity, and the editor doesn’t have YAML support. Also you can only use Python
Ohhhh right, you meant in that way. In that way absolutey yeah. Well depending on one’s position on the AP anyhow 😄 Partially it sort of is a truism (although I’d argue that the “fine tuning problem” trips up a lot of people and the AP doesn’t seem to be obvious to everybody) and more of a philosophical thing than necessarily just straight-up physics, but I think there’s interesting points there. I’m not very good at explaining the general principle so it might sound dumber than it is, and there’s a lot of different versions of it as well
More likely outcome: he takes a person in strange clothing appearing from thin air only to set his book on fire with a magical implement as clear proof of witchcraft existing and posing a huge danger. Get ready for turbo witch hunts on crack
Can you point out to us who’s saying that they’re smart for being depressive?
Well, they elected a literal neofascist government so I guess anybody left of the Strasserites is a leftist now
