The government pays farms to burn crops. It's not the destruction that matters; it's the promise not to distribute that matters. For uniquely identifiable data and objects, a reputable extortion business will honor their promises to earn new customers

It doesn't matter whether NSO are genius hackers or their freelancers are. They are still outsmarting Apple all day long.

You can't simply ignore the base rate, even if you don't know it.

In a purely random world, 5% of experiments are false positives, at p=0.05. None are true positives.

In a well ordered world with brilliant hypotheses, there are no false positives.

If more than 5% of experiments show positive results at p=0.05, some of them are probably true, so you can try to replicate them with lower p.

p=0.05 is a filter for "worth trying to replicate" (but even that is modulated by cost of replication vs value of result).

The crisis in science is largely that people confuse "publishable" with "probably true". Anything "probably better then random guessing" is publishable to help other researchers, but that doesn't mean it's probably true.

What's a reasonable number of categories? 10?

On Android, the Learn More links aren't present, so the privacy invasion is not disclosed at all, beyond the deceptive first-page "summary".

Sounds like regular parks in my city.

Hmm? If "we feel a need to do it" makes it morally praiseworthy, then mirder, rape and thievery are morally praiseworthy.

Strange that people are so strongly opposed to accurate facts.

Parent didn't say "Euclidean"

It's finite.

The same "point at infinity" also exists on circles (like a clock) and spheres (like the Earth) and toruses (like a bagel).

There's no way that's true. It may be "reported" as a typo or troll in the document.
