The study doesn't say whether red meat is "good" or "bad", just that eating red meat correlated (within their study group) with shorter telomere lengths.

Telomeres are caps at the end of the chromosomes that serve as a protection against genetic damage. They decrease in length every time a cell divides until they are eventually used up altogether - at which point a healthy cell will initiate self-destruction. Some years back they were a much-hyped focus of aging research, as there was the hypothesis that if you could keep the telomeres long, your cells (and by extension, you) could live indefinitely.

In that context, eating red meat would appear to be an unhealthy choice.

However, said hypothesis is no longer current. Telomeres probably do play a role in the aging process, but the whole affair is much more complex than just "keep your telomeres long". So basically, never eating red meat again isn't going to make you immortal.
Good. Maybe they can finally afford to make their "Submit" button idempotent.

I think over this past year I've had one of probably over 50 orders take longer than two days, and that was three days. I'm still a Prime member and the value it delivers, not even counting the Music and Video which I agree are meh, is what keeps me coming back.

Maybe this is one instance where living away from the big cities is an advantage.
> Study included 28 subjects

Well beside the other process issues, 28 is a farcically small set to draw any conclusions, even future hypotheses from.

Scale that to 2800 and we can talk.

If I recall things correctly, the woman who was burned was older, with thinner skin in the region where she was burned.

Furthermore, the cup the coffee was served in was, at the time, made of styrofoam. To say they are a bit pliable without a lid is an understatement.

So the woman was served the hot coffee in a pliable cup, with a lid - which gave it a margin of structural integrity. Then, doing something she had likely done many times before, she wanted to take the lid off of the cup. Why? I don't honestly know, but likely to add some cream or sugar would be my guess. Apparently though, she needed both hands for this, and did what she likely did in the past:

She placed the coffee between her legs, likely to grip it, so she could remove the lid. At which point, the cup collapsed (because it was now a pliable styrofoam cup without a lid, so its structural integrity was lost), spilling the hot contents on her legs and other nearby regions, and burning her severely.

This is what I recall from the case and time period. This write-up appears to support that recollection:

https://www.caoc.org/?pg=facts

Apparently, based on the above, she was also wearing sweatpants (known for absorbing liquid, as they are designed for this), and was a passenger in the vehicle (so was likely handed the cup by the driver passing it over).

Yes, how does a discussion on UBI go past this simple mathematical fact?

By looking at the income distribution and realizing that a vast majority of the worlds income is concentrated in the hands of a breathtakingly small group of people and is continuing to be concentrated even more by the advent of even more integrated automated production and services.

All the while this small group continues to lobby for lower taxes worldwide and engages in tax-avoidance schemes that drive local manufacturers and service providers out of business. Heck, this group has so much money, they don't even know what to do with it anymore! Profits have skyrocketed in the last 30 years, but these increases have gone exclusively to the richest people of the world.

Productivity per person has more than quadrupled since the 1950. Yet the wages have stagnant since the 1970. Where did all the money go? I bet you can answer that question yourself.

Now, where do you specifically go wrong with the math? By not having a high enough tax on those that mooch away all the money. They could afford it. They just don't want to. And the system they built for themselves allows them to get away with it.

I've noticed that comments here that are critical of Bezos gets met with downvoting. Sad. Why Microsoft got the 3rd degree and Amazon gets a pass is beyond me. I guess that large unethical companies like Amazon can use AIs to police sentiments about them and do the needful. We should start looking for anti AI mechanisms in discourse as well as work to ensure paid sockpuppeting and gas lighting is not going on. The truth is going to be harder to get at these days.

In my experience, every company that ends up adopting a microservices architecture ends up building some sort of layer of developer tooling on top of their ops infrastructure (whether it's K8S, EC2, or something else). This is because in microservices, you need to make it easy and cheap to deploy new services, which means developers need some sort of access to operational tooling (or else you need a huge ops team).
In your example, dodging the draft is a crime, so you're accessory to a crime.

This girl wasn't just giving advice. When he was committing suicide, he got cold feet and got out of the truck. She texted him "get back in the truck." That's not giving advice or her opinion by any stretch of the imagination; that's giving a command to someone in a very fragile mental state, and it's obvious based on the context what that command would lead to.

Unless your words will directly and obviously lead to harm, you don't have to. And if you think your words might do that, well then you probably should choose your words carefully.
>> cutting delivery windows down to 1 hr, and that absolutely destroys your delivery density...on the order of 10-15x.

This is of course, is the opposite of the grocery delivery model that do work: A constant weekly delivery(you can change items of course), at a fixed day/time(according to delivery times to your area), in a returnable passive cooler box before 8:00 am. You don't have to be receive.

That way, after a bit of scaling, you can get to a good delivery density.

But of course, that's a different offer than 1-hour delivery. But is it not appealing enough ? or is the problem that other, stronger retailers can relatively easy copy it ?

Because if it's the latter, Walmart did already win(almost), at least on the logistical front, and that would explain why Amazon focuses on buying a niche company with a main skill of having unique products, and rich customers.

Well I won't add anything on whether this particular study is flawed, though I recognise the same doubts as you.

What I can say is it seems like an awfully tiresome drudge to replicate someone's statistical analysis. Where's the raw data? How did you clean it? What tests did you run? With what parameters? And what library? It's different in R / Numpy, oh no, another week of sorting the haystack.

It would be easier if there were a GitHub for each study where you could just pull the exact same analysis that the authors did.

Also, I get the feeling most experts see themselves as experts in their particular field. Not surprising, given how people start by studying some subject and then get more and more degrees in it. But actually, the more I read papers from various fields, the more it seems statistics is the critical skill. Domain knowledge is necessary, but it means very little without stats.

Now it would be nice if researchers in every field were also experts in statistics, but I happen to have a friend whose post-doc is to assist biomedical researchers with their stats. So he's a biochem domain expert, but also a stats expert, and the other researchers come to his little group to make sure things are statistically well reasoned.

We can trace the widespread notions in the Republican party that the government cannot ever do anything correctly, and should be feared when it tries, to this quote:

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. - Ronald Reagan

No no, don't believe in auditing, and ethics, and holding officials accountable with voting, and when necessary prosecutions. Just be scared of the government, and withhold funding so it's small enough to drown in a bathtub. But today's Republicans miss his message (he'd be considered a liberal today, I think)

Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work--work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. From Reagan's inaugural address.

The entire reason this is a landmark case is because of the element of the communication being not in person:

Legal experts say the decision could have national implications as courts grapple with how to apply long-standing laws as technological changes have taken interactions online.

I think this is a thing that very much needs to be grappled with. People often say that online communications don't really count, it isn't the same as meatspace. And yet people can get jobs, create companies with long distance cofounders, meet future spouses etc etc online. People seem to say "It doesn't really count" when they are doing something shitty they wouldn't do in person. These same people often laud kindness that occurs in cyberspace or that happens because of connections made that way.

This case is saying it still counts. I am fine with that having a potential chilling effect on shitty behavior generally that occurs online, on the phone, etc.

Supposedly at the time she was telling her boyfriend to get back in the truck, etc - she was taking some kind of anti-depressant medicine herself, which a doctor testified could potentially cause her to think that getting him to commit suicide was a means of her helping him with his problems.

That's not saying she's not guilty or making excuses for her.

Suffice to say that it is likely that she is still on some kind of medication for something, so who knows if that (if true) played a part in how she reacted during the trial - or if how she acted when she committed her acts was caused in part or whole by the medication she was taking at the time.

Likely, it was/is a combination of the medication, whatever her problems are/were to take such medication, combined with other possibly sociopathy (or "psychosis" as you termed it), possible immaturity at the time (and perhaps now), along with a host of other possible reasons.
Seriously? They discover rare NASA documents from the 60s and your immediate thought is "how much was it worth"?
This whole study strikes me as rather weak, I wouldn't give assign too much importance to the results.

As mentioned below, the number of participants was rather low (though that is not uncommon in the life sciences and medicine). Also, the statistics appear to be sloppy, or at any rate not sufficiently documented to be verifiable. Thirdly, they tried to investigate too many things at once ("diet, smoking habit, physical activity and education"). And lastly, they base their whole study on the supposed link between telomere length and human longevity - a somewhat obsolete hypothesis.

I get voted into oblivion every time I post this when this topic comes up (which is like, every other day), but the fact of the matter is that nobody cares about 'open access' in academia (well, not 'nobody' in the pedantic nerd sense, but 'nobody' as in 'only a vocal but ultimately insignificant minority', mostly very junior researchers - who usually don't even have their PhD's yet; the number of senior faculty staff who spends time on writing blog posts about this is minute). In fields where there are elevated numbers of dogmatic purists who don't see the value of interpersonal relations (but, of course, who call themselves 'principled' and 'not corrupted by money' and that sort of spin on it) like CS and physics the proportion is higher, but still not enough to make a real difference.

The thing is that everybody who 'needs' access to research papers (as opposed to the 'open access' 'advocates' who like to make up scenarios of how many papers they'd read if only all research was downloadable without logging in anywhere) has it through their universities, or you send a quick email to the authors and get papers that way. The vast majority of all published papers is read only by the reviewers. People jump at the chance of sending their papers to that one person in the world (besides their parents) who actually cares enough to ask about it.

So there is no practical incentive for most people to care enough to put effort into changing the status quo, and the current situation is maybe not optimal but well, neither is the quality of the coffee in the staff room, and if given the choice, most researchers would choose a better coffee machine over all journals being open access.

Note that I don't care one way or another; I don't gain in any way from papers not being publicly accessible. If tomorrow everything is open access, or all open access journals stop existing, won't make one bit of difference to my life. But what I do find annoying is the incessant whining about this topic from people for whom 9 times out of 10 this makes no difference to their lives whatsoever, but who will take any opportunity to declare how big bad faceless 'them' is the personification of evil and how everybody else should change to make the world fit their worldview better, while those who are actually affected by this have many other things to worry about and don't care as long at doesn't cause extra work (or change for the sake of it).

Not that you're asking seriously. It is the first thing you realize if you have ever looked at D3. It is a set of data vis primitives that allow you to program custom-designed data vis (with custom interactive animations) It is not a tool that gives you canned charts and allow you to configure them. StarDust API (from a quick glance) does not seem to allow the same level of programmability as D3. Sure it can get thousands of users but it cannot replace a real data vis Programming environment like D3. You trade learning curve for potential.
Not really. The baby boomer generation are going to die off and take their miserly attitudes with them. There is no other option other than to move to a post-carbon economy and for it to be renewables all the way. You will die out and new people will come along with different energy demands. They might be happy to get about Dutch style, on a bicycle. To most Americans that mode of transport is unthinkable for things like shopping or bringing up a family, but the Dutch do it.

I believe there are plenty of people paving the way for our post-carbon world, building a new and clean world from the filth left behind by the baby boomer generation.

Currently millenials do not put 2 and 2 together when it comes to climate change and their personal habits of consumerism, we did better in the 1970's after the crisises of the time at turning lights off when not needed. But this time round we have people using sensors and things like LED lights to keep the energy consumption sensible.

The only way for countries like the UK to meet their emissions targets and air quality targets is to get rid of the targets (Brexit) or to get serious about electric cars. Right now one energy company is converting lamp posts to charging points, so soon on-street charging will become very easy. A small step but an important one as it makes the impossible possible and at affordable cost. So you might just get an EV because that is how it works and you just charge up every time you park next to a lamp post.

There are only four petrol stations inside the congestion charge zone in London, there used to be far more. Imagine a time when there are none and you have to go to a motorway to find petrol or diesel for your classic retro vehicle.

Even General Motors are taking EVs seriously.

As for the disposable bag, try visiting the UK. They went extinct when stops started charging for them. The other day I found a hoard of three in a drawer. In former times people would have small cupboards full of the things. It took a long time coming, but the end of the disposable free bag was survived by retailers and consumers alike.

I think that EV cars will be like flat screen televisions and ICE cars will be like CRT monitors in not too many years to come. We didn't initially get a better picture with flat screen displays but those richer colours did not save the CRT, even if there were no 'dead pixels'.

In a matter of time the batteries will be integrated into the frame or the wheels or even the furnishings and these EV cars will be a far simpler product than those ICE things. The supply chain will die out for ICE and this new post carbon world will start to happen. Watch and see.
If you haven't already, try zooming all the way out and drawing things using the grid as a canvas.

I don't know if YouTube counts here.

On the weekends I upload videos for artists from my home country. I have one channel that is fairly popular. The artists themselves are not big enough to attract many people to their own channels so the use mine. We split the ad revenue. I pay them locally. My take home after deductions is anywhere from 5k to 8k per quarter.

EDIT: added payout period. I give payouts per quarter because as i said, they are not big artists, so it would be tedious sending small amounts to tons of people each month.
