You see that dotted green line that shoots way up the chart? That is for all cancers. The graph depicting ones that leveled off or appear to decrease are the hardest cancers to fight.. brain? pancrease? lungs?

I know you are smarter than this... Why are you ignoring the fact that all cancer rates of survival are skyrocketing by those measurements while the hardest cancers still remain hard.

By 2050, the majority of the food supply for the ~20 American arcologies will be sourced from a network of regional factory farms patrolled by lethal autonomous drones.

The most prosperous arcologies, of course, will be fed by overseas trade received into nearby autonomous port systems.

As I often see in this kind of theory based articles, it is missing some basic experiments through which we can test and investigate the theory.

So if the issue is the inability to discern between confidence and competence, it should be relative easy to create a experiment through a double blind study where 50% of the participants are trained in behaving confident around their peers. Then we the study observe, first through experimental environment and then through a longer life-time study, and see if the result differ.

A question that arise is also how society treats men with below average confidence. Do they have higher or lower chance to be perceived as leaders compared to women with the same level of confidence? If they have less (a common theme in gender studies), we would again find a distribution where a minority portion of men are at top and have a higher chance than women to be leaders, with the majority of men below with a worse chance. This should also be fairly easy to test in an experimental setting.
I read the book.

I liked this interview with the author:

http://seansrussiablog.org/2016/12/05/rasputin-the-man-and-t...

It is the author's opinion that the famous story of Rasputin's assassination was mostly made up, except for the fact he was shot and killed.
Your muscles will not disappear in a puff of smoke after one missed meal. However, it is true that you're running on stored reserves while fasting.

I would say it's best to avoid being totally sedentary while fasting. But I'd also advise against doing strenuous exercise. One would think this is just common sense.

My experience is that a 1-day fast (only water allowed) has very little, if any, impact on the muscular mass. Anything longer than that does have some impact, but it's pretty slow to manifest. Again, common sense?

Most nukes I knew were college dropouts with a math/science orientation. The only requirements in the early 80's when I qualified were high scores on Navy science and math aptitude tests. I dropped out of U.C.Berkeley after a year and a half of physics/math - couldn't pass English.
> QM just doesn't add _any_ new explanations or make any predictions for consciousness. Until it does, or we meet something we really cannot explain, it does not make sense to obsess over it.

As an aside, how would scientists develop/validate explanations for long-term behaviors, i.e., behaviors that occur over a longer period incrementally with low-energy processes? I think we're lucky to have have astronomical data to observe physics at logarithmic time scales, but I wonder about the general case of low-energy, long-term system behavior that may not exhibit itself in astronomy.
No-one is going to set a strict SameSite cookie, it just breaks too much, it's the same level of hubris as thinking developers are going to care about CSP. It just breaks too much shit.

So we're left with Lax SameSite cookies, which is pretty much the same as what existing web frameworks do.

The best you can say is that this is less likely to have bugs in the implementation.

Do you drive a Ford Fusion with the Sync radio, by chance? The stereo in my Fusion does this -- about 2-3 minutes/month slow, so after a few months I start thinking I'm on time for things when I'm actually a few minutes late.

The older Ford Fusion Sync radios (Microsoft variety) are a perfect example of how not to do a UI. I wanted it because my previous car had Bluetooth pairing and I got used to using my phone for music/entertainment and wanted my new car to have the same experience. Of course, being the MS variety of Sync, it has the buggy Bluetooth implementation, so one out of three times I get in the car, my stereo fails to connect. Thank GOD it's got voice commands because I have no idea what combination of buttons is required to actually switch to the Bluetooth input (which is required to be done every time you start the car again regardless of whether or not you were previously on that input). As long as everyone is silent when I hit that magic button to issue my command, and as long as I tilt my head upward toward the mic and speak very clearly, about half the time it switches the input correctly.

Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to make a car stereo so complicated that it pretty much guarantees you're going to take your eyes off the road for long periods of time trying to figure out how to change the station when One Direction comes on (I feel the same way about newer cars that just have the "iPad Screen" style interface -- no tactile anything).
> Somehow I did electronics for over 30 years before buying a top of the line digital Hakko soldering station.

I just got into Electronics and while buying some basic kit (cutters, wire, etc) I had to think hard about my soldering iron choice. I don't expect to solder a ton immediately as I'm still learning, but over time I may do it more. Thus, I was wondering whether to just pay out for a high quality iron, one I would never have to replace (or at least not soon).

I went with the Hakko. Bought some extra tips for the long run, and it's simply fantastic. Heats up incredibly fast, is very accurate, and easy to use. Sitting in my closet at the moment while I get a workbench eventually, but I eagerly have been using that thing every chance I get for the past several weeks. It's just fun to use and well designed.

I think the only thing the Hakko FXD could possibly improve is perhaps slightly improving the UX for preset temperature configuration. I'm not sure this feature even matters for anyone who isn't soldering constantly, though (I can basically get away with 750 every time).

Otherwise I agree, it almost seems perfect in every way.
Spot on. It's also tougher with individual users where $10-$15/mo is the norm. B2B services have it good.

I don't think this is accurate. The handwriting has been on the wall for years, and I've had no doubt that Mozilla would actually rip out XUL and leave millions of loyal users hanging. Mozilla has been on an anti-existing-user trajectory for years now.

We have loudly protested. We have explained in excruciating detail how Firefox without XUL is not Firefox, and how a non-XUL Firefox will not meet our needs.

The correct response from Mozilla would have been to make XUL work with e10s, regardless of whether it's easy or fun to do so. The actual response from Mozilla has been, "Nah, that would be too hard. Besides, you don't really want XUL, because it lets in the malware bogeyman. We'll just rip it out. Don't worry, you'll thank us later."

This is heard as, "We don't care about you. We don't want your kind of users. We want those users, the ones who have switched to Chrome. You can sit on an old, outdated version until it won't load web sites anymore, and you can be constrained to the dustbin of history, where you belong."

I've no doubt there are Mozillians who do not feel that way (e.g. the Pentadactyl developers who work at Mozilla and quietly update it to work with newer versions), but that is how the message from Mozilla comes across. Most importantly, that is the net effect of Mozilla's policy.
You reminded me, I though I couldn't add anything I really found well designed but the assault rifle (G3) I had while drafted was amazing. The mechanics, the raw power, the precision. It was kind of awesome. It helped people like me hit targets precisely at 200m, using only the coarse built-in sights. And they mostly worked after years of abuse at boot camp.

If I could get hold of one now I would be tempted although I guess I shouldn't have one as to not make my family a target.
I think the OP posted it because of its shape, how generous the lid is (so you can scrub the inside easily), and maybe how it pours out water, but I wouldn't call it the best-designed kettle given some shortcomings in safety.

Looked up what he was talking about: http://app.letsqualy.com/en/home. It's a todo list and timer mobile app for dads to spend quality time with their kids.

It's been 10 years since iPhone dropped, the mobile app economy has hit super-saturation and app fatigue. There's an app for that and everything but only 5 you actually use.

You can spend 12 months to learn full stack and build this all yourself like a high schooler. Or you can hire out $30k for an offshore team to build this out in 3 months. Or you can even spend $15k for a react native team to build this out in 2 months.

Back six years ago the same thing would have been $100k or more.

Then you spend all your remaining resources to drum up an audience and put in money making ideas ASAP. CTA buttons selling tickets from affiliates for example.

18 mo is a long time, could have turned it in within 9 months. At that point you have a software package and if you would then think like a real startup operator, targeting multiple market niches until finding fundable growth.

But he chose not to. And kept at this for 9 more unnecessary because it's his personal vanity project as a "daddy and high-tech entrepreneur."

And now he gets congratulatory consolation for how hard startups are.

This year's nuclear winter is going to wipe out a lot of behaviors like this.

High ASVAB scores really is about it, and even that is waivable. After they go through boot camp, they will generally get filtered out through attrition at their respective A-School (training school), which is why the requirements can be waived, and they go to a new job.

The principle of sexual inequality (and male superiority) appears to be a relatively recent phenomenon--arising only around the time of agriculture. Even subsequent to the development of agricultures, plenty of civilizations have practiced matrilineal succession, with no apparent cost to their dealings with neighboring societies (indeed, some even flourished at the expense of others--consider the Iroquois, for example).
It's probably business 101 for Facebook to prevent people from using other competing platforms while their users get showered with features, but am I the only one who doesn't find Facebook a particularly creative company? They seem to be copying everything Snapchat does across all their apps.

I perhaps am wrong to focus on the creative aspect of things when they're doing great on so many other metrics. Still, for some reason Facebook seems like the new Microsift; and we all know who started the smartphone revolution.

Actually, no, I work for a giant megacorporation and anyone with access to vehicle keys cannot have any drug record or any drinking related offense for insurance reasons, absolute zero tolerance (except for management employees of course). If a driving privs field circus tech gets an alcohol related offense even on personal time, even not involving a vehicle, they're out a job permanently, ditto anything drug related. At best they can apply for another non-driving position but that never seems to work out.

So I find it incredibly likely that a car mechanic driving cars in and out of a service bay and taking test drives after a brake job etc is almost certainly a zero tolerance environment.

Yeah, yeah. It turns out that it's unlikely that sea level was glacioeustatically higher than present by more than a few meters during any interglacial of the past 2.5 million years as a result of accounting for oxygenation levels during interglacial periods. A few meters affects billions. Are you liking those odds?

There are a number of theories on what starts and stops ice ages, none of them having to do with human intervention, sure. Does that mean that the rise of CO2, especially if it comes from human activity, shouldn't be reduced now? I think not.
Java only requires that the writes can't be seen out of order - if a thread writes A then B, another thread can't read the new value of B and then the old value of A. If coalescing them makes them all happen atomically, that's fine.

- clean hotel
- private bathroom/toilet (no hostels)

Could any of you please help me to find a budget hotels? Do you have any advices for me?

Thanks
I don't why. The alleged crime occurred in a foreign country, and the evidence presented to the host country was deemed sufficient for an arrest for an equivalent crime in the host nation. This is just the flip side of the old adage that the Internet erases International borders.

Would it really be better if the host county put the alleged criminal on trial for crime that wasn't committed in the host country at all? Some countries do that (specifically I'm thinking about Israel) I wonder what he ge practical difference is.
I hadn't planned on going myself (I prefer the one in Vegas!) but there will certainly be plenty of ISP folks there for you to chat with.

Your image comes from this report: http://www.macmillan.org.uk/documents/aboutus/newsroom/livin...

This is from a UK charity operating in England. England has poor cancer outcomes. The report was written before the "be clear on cancer" stuff currently happening.

It's worth reading in the context of this discussion you're both having because it gives a pretty balanced account.

> when in the graphs we only see these various marginal improvements in some specific cancers.

We see very good improvements in breast cancer, and this is partly because of the vigorous campaigning and fund raising. We've also seen big improvements in colon cancer, non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and Rectal cancer.

I find that confidence is really powerful, even among engineers (who you would think are rational).

I noticed that some engineers can come across as extremely smart because they talk fast and can think fast - Also, they are really good at defending their ideas when put on the spot but if you dig deeper afterwards you might often find that while their solution is good, it's not the best one.

It always takes time to come up with optimum engineering solutions - It's not something that just pops into your head in a millisecond whist having a casual technical discussion - No matter how smart you are. The history of software development (with all of its failed projects) is proof that even great engineers have difficult coming up with optimum ideas.
Ah okay that makes a ton of sense with how dynamic the site now is. Looking back now, would you have still gone with a static site generator or started with something dynamic (question we're pondering now with monograph.io which is middleman)?

Also on the marketing team, I got head-faked by the growth freelancer, and assumed you went with a dynamic CMS to get more help. But man impressed with how much you still do!
Last time i checked Express.

It is trivial to add, as long as you remember to do it.

Actually it is silly nginx or apache don't serve those by default.
This call for, "Just tell us what APIs you need!" is missing the point.

1. There's no guarantee that Mozilla will actually implement such APIs, and no guarantee that they will actually support them in the future. If past behavior indicates future behavior, they will support them for 12-18 months and then say, "It's not worth the effort anymore. But here's a new bundled Facebook plugin that we're totally not being paid to put in. Have fun!"

2. More importantly, many of these extensions would never have come to exist if their authors had had to beg Mozilla to implement an API first. If XUL had never existed, would ad-blocking extensions have ever been created? I can imagine the Bugzilla pages now: "This is not a priority for our limited manpower. Restricting this issue due to advocacy. You can discuss it further on the mailing list."

You're completely right. In my case, I bought this model because my wife likes to cook and we only had one conventional oven (a gas oven, as well, which cooks differently[0] than an electric one). We decided on it because it would give us a "sort of" second oven for the various times when that's needed. In retrospect, we almost never use the other capability -- not because of a combination of two things - (1) we're too lazy to get the manual out to see what particular incantation needs to be performed to make the "oven" feature work and (2) it takes almost twice as long to pre-heat than any other oven we've ever owned so if you don't plan in advance and start pre-heating it before you actually decide what you're going to cook, the main oven is often free by the time the thing pre-heats.

It goes to show, though, when you jam in a bunch of features into a device that isn't really meant for those features, the added features are often not implemented well enough to make them very useful.

The one redeeming factor this microwave has is that the entire interior is stainless steel. Everyone who uses our microwave does a double-take when they open it seeing all that metal. It's super easy to clean, but that's about it.

[0] Natural gas ovens are less dry than electric ovens, so baking in them results in very moist results but also often requires cooking things longer. I bought it, though, because they're really simple devices that will basically last forever, having only really the $20 ignition element fail about once every decade.

That headline, and your comment on it, is a thought provoking example. I can easily imagine people with all sorts of opinions overlaying their own biases/preferences on what you said, and then responding reflexively. It's quite frustrating to watch people 'talk past' each other in this way.
In general how much does being in the Navy and working on Nuclear Powered vessels help with getting a job as a civilian Nuclear Engineer say at a power plant?
