The complaint here is about this being an insufficient amount of effort because the bibtex entry from Google Scholar is wrong sometimes.

You want the content of the paper to be carefully crafted. Bibtex entries are the sort of thing you want people to copy and paste from a trusted source, as they can be difficult to do consistently correctly.

steel-man means trying to interpret someone's argument in the most favorable light rather than arguing against a weaker interpretation. It does not mean making up a different argument for them that you like better.

Spending money to ensure something is released online for free is not the opposite of thinking it should be released online for free though.

If think the owner should give up its monetary value to satisfy your beliefs, you should be willing to do the same.

If you think this is more important than the money it can be sold for, you should be the one to buy it.

That's not p hacking. That's just the nature of p values. P hacking is when you do things to make a particular experiment more likely to show as a success.

Why do you think senior managers would replace themselves if they could? Given the choice between saving a company and giving a senior manager slightly more money or power, the senior manager will always win.

If you do that, people outside the package can also do Username(x) conversions instead of calling NewUsername. Making value package private means that you can only set it from outside the package using provided functionality.

We're at single digit gigahertz for an entire chip, not a single transistor.

I don't think most people make a special trip just to get gas. It's usually a quick added stop along the way of another trip, which is less of a nuisance than having to make two small walks to move and plug/unplug your car.

They happen more than once. You'd change your bid for the aggregate effect of paying for many wins, not for an individual auction.

They show the DFA for it on the site, it's 3 states. There's a starting state for the first . and then two states that transition back and forth between whether z was the last character or not.

I think what's actually happening here is that they're doing the intersection on the DFAs and then producing a regex from the resulting DFA. The construction of a regex from a DFA is where things get ugly and weird.
