And I thought stripe's fees were murderous...


Stripe fees are murderous? Stop it.

They're companies. Stripe built exceptional payment processing software that makes it simpler for everyone. They deserve it.


That office space [1] looks awful. Why is everything an open space theses days?

Looks like it's still being built out in that picture. For their sake, hopefully they remember to put up some walls.


> a digital ledger that can be instantly and transparently updated.

If it's "instantly" it means PoW is useless, and this thing is just a marketing stunt. Who would have thought.


PoW is not only "P" for blockchains.


Yes it sounds like they’re just using Git ;)


Yes, it's like git but access to the repo is defined in the repo itself (using public key cryptography); likely with virtual machine (if it's ethereum, which is likely). There's not much more conceptually there.


That would be (is) a radical transformation though.


It's probably the only part where hardware development (FPGA or ASIC) has a significant edge: "time travel debugging" is the norm, where you have a wave window with your design state cycle by cycle. Can't wait to see more of that in software!


Don't forget to complain using /feedback !


Doesn't work very well for the hip hop track I tried (which has very repetitive accompaniment). It might be a bit too good to be true unfortunately.


> The answer, of course, would be research. All the students were working the same amount. Their work habits were different.

The proper research here would have been to make the student change their habit and see if they became better musicians as a result. This article isn't research, it's writing down a fact and then trying to extract conclusions when none can be made.


My bet is on a voice actor -- or an underling invoking deep fake to cover his arse


Transferring $230,000 to your cousin's account, and hoping to stay out of jail, by telling everyone that a deep-fake CEO told you to do that is an incredibly dumb way to steal.

I mean, people do incredibly dumb things, so it is certainly possible. I doubt it, though.


Well duh. If you're barely getting the grant, you're not going to be in a place where you can impress people and progress very well.

If you miss the grant by a bit, you'll find somewhere where you're a better fit.

It's not the setback that helps


We find that the near-miss group naturally received significantly less NIH funding in the first five years following treatment, averaging $0.29 million less per person (Fig. 2d, t-test p-value < 0.05, Cohen’s d = 0.28), which is consistent with prior studies. Yet the funding difference between the two groups disappeared in the second five-year period (Fig. 2d, t-test p-value > 0.1, Cohen’s d = 0.02).

From the paper [0]. This does not look like the rejects found similar opportunities in more suitable places.

Looks neat! FYI you have a typo on https://n8n.io/hosting you probably meant to s/self-hosted/hosted/


Thanks a lot for the info. Is fixed!
