On the "acquired taste" thing. I think there are a couple of aspects to it.

First I think there is a great deal of social pressure to like the local cuisine in addition to whatever family makes. I can't remember where, but I read something linking social pressure and children eating spicy foods (given the pain it can cause folks).

The other bit of this is that taste buds change as folks get older. It is completely possible that the nuances that turned you off some times ago refuse to show up.

As far as I can tell, Nixon was a complete nutjob. Here he is on the possibility of nuking Vietnam (via Alex Wellerstein):

> But my favorite quotes are from Nixon about Vietnam. During a spring offensive by the North Vietnamese in 1972, Nixon told Kissinger:

>> We’re going to do it. I’m going to destroy the goddamn country, believe me, I mean destroy it if necessary. And let me say, even the nuclear weapons if necessary. It isn’t necessary. But, you know, what I mean is, what shows you the extent to which I’m willing to go. By a nuclear weapon, I mean that we will bomb the living bejeezus out of North Vietnam and then if anybody interferes we will threaten the nuclear weapons.

> A week later, he continued to a somewhat horrified Kissinger:

>> Nixon: I’d rather use the nuclear bomb. Have you got that ready?

>> Kissinger: That, I think, would just be too much.

>> Nixon: A nuclear bomb, does that bother you?… I just want you to think big, Henry, for Christ’s sake! The only place where you and I disagree is with regard to the bombing. You’re so goddamned concerned about civilians, and I don’t give a damn. I don’t care.

>> Kissinger: I’m concerned about the civilians because I don’t want the world to be mobilized against you as a butcher.

A counter-point or counter-perspective, would be the ongoing disabuse of those of us who were raised and... well, "indoctrinated", to believe in the paramountcy of e.g. "the rule of law".

During the course of my adult life, I've tried to hold true to that and other principles, only to have life show me with increasing discomfort and personal loss that, no, really, that's not the way the world works.

It has not worked that way and it does not today work that way. Nor does it even appear to be a realistic ideal towards which the world is striving.

Much of moral sentiment (as opposed to actual, demonstrated moral behavior) appears -- increasingly apparently, to me -- to be used to dupe the willing into sacrificing their own best interests.

Sad story is, perhaps, that in the long run this may also create or at least exacerbate larger conflagrations. Because people have not been taking care of their own affairs and their own neighborhoods.

At least, that's the approach I now, belatedly, consider. Nothing else is going to work for me, if my own life is not in some sort of reasonable state. Regardless of what some law, educator, or religious authority has to say.
How was Sanders a token candidate controlled by the DNC? My memory of the primaries is far different, with Sanders suing the DNC over access to NGP VAN (which the DNC had cut off until the Sanders campaign showed they had deleted their copies of Clinton's data), loudly complaining about the DNC following the existing rules at the Nevada Convention (http://www.politifact.com/nevada/statements/2016/may/18/jeff...), and generally loudly making unfounded allegations of rigging. If Sanders was a token candidate, whom would you consider a big name Democrat worthy of challenging Clinton not as a token opponent?

> There was also that time when they staged violence at the Trump rallies and blamed it on Bernie supporters.

The DNC did not stage violence at Trump rallies and blame it on Bernie supporters. You're probably thinking about http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/18/politics/project-veritas-actio..., who incited Trump supporters to violence, which is different from pretending to be a violent Sanders supporter. Zulema Rodriguez also had nothing to do with "rigging the primaries."

Thats how its marketed. But no, Vipassna is a form of meditation practice. There are many others.

And to be honest its not the real stuff. What are 10 days? You are going to learn absolutely nothing. Mediation is a 24 hours a day practice. And it takes a lot of time to just get used to it.

For example, in one form they only tell you to focus your mind on an object (like breathing, or your abdomen). In Vipassna, the idea is focus first, but the next step is to observe your thoughts (mindfullness). Observe, never reject, whatever it is. Happiness, Lust, Greediness, Anxiety. Observe, and let it go. The mind is a crazy machine. More precisely, our chattering monkey mind.

I have been following the low/no sugar approach for a coupe of years. Some results (some may/may not be directly attributable just to low sugar)

1) Most restaurant foods, even the savory section, have an undercurrent of sweetness that is almost overpowering

2) I cannot eat any commercial cakes/cookies even on very special occasions, the sweetness makes you gag

3) No more post lunch slump - this one was surprising to me

4) Birthdays/Anniversaries are awkward during the "food time"

5) No colas/juice/shakes/smoothies; yes to Coffee,tea,lime water with honey or just Water - I started to have spare change much more often so now i invest in the occasional top shelf vodka :)

6) Dropped about 6 Pounds in the first six months

7) Less jittery-ness thru the day

>Spiritual dimension is just vague new age rhetoric.

Only because you choose to define it that way. In reality, people have spiritual health that is just as important as mental health. There doesn't need to have any mysticism attached, just the recognition that religion and other practices give people senses of belonging and purpose, and those drives are important to ones overall health.

>I don't want to be fear mongering but you may end up with a psychosis as well

Well those are strong words, would you like to source that claim? IIRC the rates of psychosis among psychedelic users and the normal population is equivalent, meaning psychedelics absolutely do not cause psychosis.

Also noteworthy is the fact that meditation can trigger latent psychoses just the same as any drug or stressor would - so in both cases, exploring ones consciousness can be a dangerous pursuit best done working with experienced guides.

It's not always fully apparent what's going on.
The ingredients of the stew cooking right now are: lentils, pumpkin, kale, habanero, jalapeno, onion, parsley, nutritional yeast, water, cabbage, salt.

I make these stews a lot with what's in season through my farm share and from the local farmers market. Usually about 20 minutes preparation time for 6 or 7 meals. Guests are uniformly surprised at how delicious they are and how easy they are to cook.

I cooked with almost none of those ingredients before starting avoiding fiber-removed foods. Now I'm amazed at how sweet and juicy vegetables and fruit are.

Breakfast was oats, apple, chia seeds, nuts, apple, water.

Lunch was leftover stew made of: split pea, onion, cabbage, jalapeno, kohlrabi, a beet, water, nutritional yeast, carnival squash, salt.

Snack was a vegetable salad of kohlrabi, onion, apple, vinegar, nuts, salt, pepper.

Another snack was a persimmon and an apple.
Yep. I'm a dual American-Dutch citizen and I've noticed that as well. You can find "American party cups" in practically every store that sells the plain white ones (I've only seen one store that breaks that rule.)

Funny enough, the Dutch ones are completely inferior, and way more expensive. They crush easily, don't separate well, and are weirdly small, not to mention several euros for a tiny package. This has annoyed me to the point where I now bring a little stack of Solo cups each time I fly to the Netherlands.

Even though my intuition tells me that I should support neurodiversity my reasoning keeps failing to justify it without introducing "diversity is unconditionally good" as an axiom. I find it difficult to add it to the list of axioms I support because it seems like hypocrasy to endorse diversity considering the history of humans.

Almost every human has the ability to learn and speak language, which is unique to mankind. (What media often reports as an animal language is not a language in that it doesn't have recursion -- the ability to handle it is, Chomsky and his supporters believe, unique to humans)

But shortly after language was born, in the very first stage of evolution of language, there must have been significant percentage of people who could not learn language. Where did they go? The answer is: they went extinct, failing to reproduce. And that's why we all can learn and speak language. The ancestors of us are those who could speak it. By making it difficult to reproduce for those who couldn't speak language, through the process of natural selection, we managed to build society where almost all of the members can speak it. Having autism in this era is analogous to being non-verbal in the early stage of humans.

With that said, endorsing diversity seems to be denial of evolution to me, denial of how we have come this far. It is by putting selection pressure on those who cannot adapt to society. And the sad reality is, you cannot stop it from happening. Autistic people will go extinct, even without the gene-editing technology, just like non-verbal people went extinct.

I created these as a result of playing a similar game with my 4 year old niece, and I came up with it to help here when I realized that she had difficulty distinguishing about 4 or 5 of the letters. She immediately fell in love with the game and would constantly beg me to play the game with her, where we would end up playing it for hours at a time.

I am hopping to sell these to schools and parents, and any feedback from parents of 4+ year olds and teachers would be much appreciated.

Edit:

The goal is to spell the bird name on a card using other card's letters, and after completing the spelling, to win the points given on their chosen (and correctly spelled out) card.

Each card has a letter and a number at the top and bottom. The letter is either the first letter of the bird name at the top-center and bottom-center of card, or found somewhere within the name.

The number is total point score of the letters that make up the bird name using the Scrabble points system.

The number of the letters A to Z in a set also attempts to match the Scrabble letter distribution system, but as the purpose of the game is to teach kids the alphabet, there are at least two of each letters in a set.
One things for sure: don't waste their time with long puzzles and month long evaluation cycles. Having just gone through the "find a new job" experience, I can say that the most decisive companies were the biggest. I know they say you should hire slowly, but I think that rule doesn't work well for finding really good talent. When very talented people are looking they will be off the market in 2 seconds. So instead of "hire slow", hire fast and have the backbone to fire fast.

The nuclear/mitochondrial mismatch theory is interesting. Communities with a long history of admixture often have a significant number of individuals with mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA of divergent geographic origins, but I have not seen it observed that they are subject to any deleterious mtDNA/nucDNA 'mismatch' effects. I wonder what the threshold for this effect is.

Generally the 'performance' of the autoencoder is measured at the reconstruction step, i.e. what is the reconstruction accuracy of the autoencoder? This is an L2 loss function.
Yeah. I have experience procuring space for clients, but even so it's tough to get a reasonable deal on the west coast. In Dallas, I can routinely pickup a full rack with dual 20amp circuits, dual ethernet drops, and 200-400mbps unmetered for $700 a month. That's what I'm paying for racks in two separate Dallas datacenters currently.

If you're willing to go north a little bit, ViaWest might give you basically the same deal in one of their Oregon datacenters.
The concept of covariance which describes the way different observers' measurements of the same phenomenon are related.

More generally the concept that the relationships between observers are a fundamental aspect of the systems they measure. In special relativity for example this is the Poincaré group which relates observers in different inertial reference frames.

Another example is entropy in statistical mechanics (although I'm being weird by casting it in this light): entropy depends on the knowledge and sensitivity of the observer to the microstates of the system they are measuring. The relation to two observers here is considerably more complicated than a group but it is there and a fundamental aspect of the subject.

I believe this concept is fundamental to every science but the "softer" you get, the harder it is to model. It is there implicitly whenever we make an observation.

Not a huge surprise that unions would push for fewer drivers to be voting members - one tried and true union tactic is to negotiate with an employer to take money from non-powerful-union-members and give it to union members. That's how you end up with pay by seniority rather than performance, layoffs where the union decides who gets laid off, and pension deals that are unavailable to new workers.
