Moore's law is "the observation that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles about every two years". For a while clock speed was a proxy for that metric, but it's not the 'law' itself.

> So what does it say?

It depends on the definition of tenure... if tenure is defined as a closed interval (i.e. defined only for developers who've joined and then left) then it means that, of the developers who have departed, none had wanted to grow with the company, or the company had let them go. For a startup company this might not be a good sign.

If tenure is defined as the length of time the developer had worked, OR, has worked so far, then it means they have a core group of developers and aren't growing the development team particularly quickly. Again, this might not be a good sign for a startup.

Another part of the problem is that companies aren't incentivised to provide parents with the controls they need. Why can't I block an entire channel in YouTube Kids if I know that they make inappropriate content? I have to block every single video? I would hope any legislative efforts focus on incentivising sensible features such as that, but I'm gonna assume I already know the answer to that wish.

Don’t use System Settings to find passwords, open Keychain Access instead, it’s much more direct for searching.

From the article:

   Personally, I think the dichotomy between hypothesis-testing and likelihood-quantification is a false one. The “P=0.05” cutoff we use to “reject” a hypothesis is an arbitrary one. When I read papers, I never “accept” or “reject” hypotheses but rather consider likelihood quantification as a measure of the weight of evidence or a distance of the data from some null hypothesis, as measured by some statistic. I encourage everyone else to consider this probabilistic worldview when viewing our paper: we aimed to quantify probabilities of this system occurring in nature, and P-values were convenient and commonly understood ways of communicating quantiles.
This paragraph does a lot of lifting. Conflating p-values and probabilities is the science equivalent of a code smell.
