observed

We did these things in this way and this is what we observed. Here is how you also can observe this.

From Atlas Shrugged: “Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris.

We stood back a meter and observed. After that, they didn't take down my name, I certainly wasn't manhandled.

In fact, I have even been round people houses or in a pub, where there are a few people meeting up, and I've observed the exact same thing. Oh, add to that, railway stations, bus stops, and so on.

The truth is, I actually observed the study habits of my friends. About 7 hours into their study sessions their brains would start to shut down slowly.

I'm also curious how that feature interacts with what I've observed to be normal FB usage. When I want to post a status, I post a status.

And that brings us to Christopher Hitchens, who observed that "The essence of tyranny is not iron law. It is capricious law."

This behavior has been observed both in captivity and in the wild. Dolphins in captivity try to imitate us and seem to have no trouble mapping our body parts to theirs.

A drop in traffic of 14% was observed. Because this is a low-wage country, the 12 million in lost revenue this cost is quite low in absolute terms, compared to what it would be in more western, bigger cities, but it's still a large chunk of money relative to GDP here.

I'm not a woman, but this is what it seems to me, from what I've observed. edit: I can't find the study I was looking for, but they had a group of people evaluate two sets of identical resumes, with female and male names, for 'competence' and 'likeability'.

They told me, and I later observed for myself, that this type of looking and curiosity is part of how Indians generally are. It's very honest, very unapologetic, and once you get over the taboo of the stare, very disarming.

It's related to Goodhart's Law: Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes. This is often the result of attempting to overoptimize a system.

That's a false statement whose falseness has been observed by economists since Adam Smith: What are the common wages of labour, depends every where upon the contract usually made between those two parties, whose interests are by no means the same. The workmen desire to get as much, the masters to give as little as possible.

It observed that the gap between expectation and reality was inversely predicted by competence. The authors conclude that "people tend to hold overly favourable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains".

What I have observed, again anecdotally, is that web programmers are generally more vocal about programming than systems programmers and scientific programmers. It makes sense in the historical context of the internet, but I don't think that this bias is properly accounted for when people on Twitter/HN/etc discuss "programming" and what it requires.

Html Moreover: this is entirely consistent with behavior of employer first observed in the 18th century: [I]n every part of Europe twenty workmen serve under a master for one that is independent, and the wages of labour are everywhere understood to be, what they usually are, when the labourer is one person, and the owner of the stock which employs him another. What are the common wages of labour, depends everywhere upon the contract usually made between those two parties, whose interests are by no means the same.

Given that it was the second incident that a UDP traffic pattern was observed in less than 30 days and that the information the customer provided regarding the traffic did not match up, we made a determination that in fact it couldn't be this script that was generating the traffic. All of this information was relayed to the customer that we did not believe that the traffic in question was related to this script because it would not rely on UDP, an insecure protocol to deliver files to a secure endpoint where data integrity was of the utmost importance.

Obviously there are easily observed physiological differences in brain structure and in the endocrine system etc, however it is a massive leap to go from that to asserting that observed differences in behaviour are down to this rather than down to societal factors. Separating nature from nurture is notoriously difficult, and in a community which endlessly holds P=NP to be an open question, it is absolutely laughable to assume that these biological differences map one to one onto the observed behavioural differences, when there is such a huge and obvious confounding factor looming over everything.
