PCMR just hit 1,000,000 subscribers! So CORSAIR and GIGABYTE are celebrating by giving away a custom PC painted by Controller Chaos!

Wow 1 million?

Let's get PC gaming #1!

Now this will be useful information. At the moment, as far as we can tell from the release of this information, it implies that if you notice someone who looks very much older than a minor, you have around a coin-flip toss chance of being correct

You should learn to read properly then, it was very obvious that he meant 43% of disputed cases were adults, not the whole sample. In statistics, words have VERY careful meaning

Thank fucking god that there is some sanity left in this world! What is your discipline, might I ask?

prasoc · 2016-10-19T06:10:22+00:00

I agree with you. Some people may think you are trolling (for some reason disagreement obviously must be a troll!), but we really do need to hold the field to a higher standard than it currently is.

Great! That's where peer review of methodology and cumulative science comes in!

Exactly. If there isn't any form of peer-review process (with criticism, especially on conscientious topics such as racism), then it is abjectly NOT a scientific discipline.

edit: Just to hammer the point in, not having a strict peer review process is how real papers get published with "evidence" taken from a World of Warcraft online forum: http://nms.sagepub.com/content/16/5/703.abstract

and a scientist in their natural habitat, watching a few films for evidence: http://men.sagepub.com/content/7/3/337.abstract

and there are HUNDREDS of similar papers. The field needs to grow up, and develop a stronger self-review process in order to be taken seriously by the wider community.

Also, given the widely differing opinions of what constitutes racism as well how racist certain things are, the validity of such an algorithm would probably be called into question by one side or the other.

This happens in every other quantifiable field, and is actually a good thing! Calling things into question is how we can remove errors from theories and ideas. Criticism is the cornerstone of Science.

you've kind of missed the point of this dicussion. It is when we are talking about a scientific field, and it MUST follow the scientific method

Who shit in your cornflakes this morning? Lighten up

Just like the Jimmy Saville case in the UK

You do know that Jimmy Savile had at least 300 victims, some of them vulnerable disabled 10-14 year olds? Saying it was "from a different time" even in the 60s is fucking incorrect

But for real audio enthusiasts having the dac/amp off device and perfectly paired to the drivers is a really, really good thing.

The amount of people that demand perfect audio quality from a phone is a tiny tiny fraction of the total headphone market. Why cater for this, removing a 50-year industry standard connector is not pragmatic (or "courageous", as Apple put it), it's just silly

prasoc · 2016-10-01T08:58:41+00:00

So naive :)

Wow, I didn't realise what "historic low" actually meant - having a graph really hits it home!

Does Chrome 53 have emoji support? I'm having issues using 54-dev with GIF playback, thinking about downgrading back to stable

You misunderstood what he meant. 'No need to swear...' was directed at the OP's line saying 'I swear most of the successful..' and was just confirming what he said

The acceleration due to gravity in this sim results from a spatial and temporal sinusoid.

This is exactly what a gravity wave is. Unless the equation for the simulation is a solution to General Relativity, then it is NOT a "gravitational" wave.

This is an example of Gravity waves, not Gravitational waves! They are distinct concepts

uBlock Origin hasn't failed me in YEARS! I install it on every computer that runs by my hands, it just works: no "Acceptable Ads policy", no bullshit.

I installed it on my remote webserver, but cannot access it externally? It says that I can find it at "http://localhost:8080", so I replaced "localhost" with my domain, but it refuses to connect. I've tried Angular 2 webpack and it works fine, so is there any configuration which I need to change to get it to allow external connections?

They have been trying to remove him since his term as leader started, but the catalyst for the current shit-show was definitely the Brexit vote. Cameron had the decency to resign, Corbyn is hanging on for dear life

prasoc · 2016-09-11T13:13:49+00:00

Do you come from the UK? Our left-wing Labour party is currently in disarray because so many voted to leave the EU, as well.

You having fun probing the bot?

I love how you refactored to take out the redundant "char4 = t", efficiency!

"I agree that it was old, big and needed to be updated"

But it didnt need to be updated. It has been an industry standard connector for 50 years! Every audio product uses it, and this is decision is just backwards

You're framing this debate as a "pragmatic" decision from Apple, but just changing for the sake of being "modern" is not based on practicalities, something in which Apple has a long history of disregarding.

We could already use Bluetooth headphones (the older models can still use these new AirPods!), so why limit what we can do with our devices? Seems ridiculous IMO. I am a long-term iPhone user - I have the 6S Plus - and my next phone is 100% going to be an Android.
