It isn't just the detection algorithm that is tuned to benefit big corporations. The end to end process is asymmetric with automated issuance of copyright claims which need to be manually disputed which appear to be automatically rejected. Then the appeal process has a three strikes rule against channel owners but no apparent punishment for corporations.

I can understand tuning the detection algorithm but to balance the dispute process needs to take this into account. The fact that it doesn't shows where Youtube stands on the issue.

This is well understood by pain researchers and the article explicitly mentions that they are trying to find solutions that address chronic pain without impacting the pain responses you are referring to.

"The team bred genetically engineered mice from embryos that had HCN2 excised from their DNA. Subsequent experiments showed that these mice did not develop neuropathic pain (the kind that affects the nervous system and is often caused by long-term conditions such as cancer or diabetes). Not only that, the mice with HCN2 cut out were still able to feel acute pain – the necessary, protective jolt that tells us to remove our finger from a drawing pin. “That’s the holy grail,” McNaughton told me"

While not networked to the national police I expect that many commercial security cameras do have facial recognition to identify suspected thieves and VIPs along with tracking movement habits through the store which is shared with advertisers and product manufactures to justify cost for higher profile shelf space.

"While their model is far from uncovering the full mystery of vision, it is a step in the right direction"

This penultimate paragraph directly contradicts the headline. I know that writers don't have much control over their headlines but this is endlessly frustrating as a reader.

The most interesting tidbit for me was how similar the news breakdown was between the two sources: New York Times and The Guardian. The largest deviation was 3.4% for suicide coverage but almost everything was within 1%.

Perhaps these examples are too similar to get a good distribution but if news organizations are all covering basically the same items perhaps there is an opportunity for differentiation. The google search trends shows that what people are interested in knowing doesn't match what media is interested in telling.

Meta-analysis is a sound principle but undermined by selection bias. This is why every meta-analysis includes selection criteria for which studies are incorporated into the analysis. Unfortunately publication bias is systemic and biases the results.

The quote referenced is poetic and pithy but I fail to understand how it applies to meta-analysis and selection bias. What is the cow pie in this scenario?

This should only happen for user requested auto-completion. For example typing "g" <tab> "g" <tab> would result in Google in the provided example.

This is very beneficial in code completion or navigating file directories. It is horrible when typing an email (though maybe when searching email contact). Definitely needs to be context aware.

"The girl and boy each have male and female sex chromosomes — in other words, each twin has some cells that carry an XX pair (female) and some that carry an XY pair (male)."

They are both genetically ambiguous and present differently due to hormone generation rates.

Contact binaries are fairly common. Expected to make up about 10-15% of NEOs. My layman's understanding of how Kuiper object contact binaries develop is mutual capture during the early life of the solar system and angular momentum decay until they come into contact.

Wouldn't that require that the school provide the loan? If the debt is not held by the school then they are not impacted by bankruptcy. I like the theory of what you are saying but I'm not sure I want schools to become creditors.

The existence of an address is public. The relationship between an address and a hacker news account is typically not public. Providing this link can make doxxing significantly easier.

The maintenance fee is $100 a month for each week of timeshare you own. So if you want to use the time share 4 weeks a year you pay $400 a month. After selling all 52 weeks the company is collecting $62,400 a year.
