Thank you for answer. They (insitute in Barcelona) differs "Tethered cord" disease and "tension of filum terminale".
They created the new name "Filum Disease" which includes chiari, scoliosys, etc. The link https://institutchiaribcn.com/en/diseases-we-treat/filum-dis...

They insist that the reason of, for example, scoliosis is namely "tension of filum terminale", _not_ tethered cord.

Unfortunately, the community of doctors is not so open for public debates and exchange of the experience as for ex. IT :)

The problem is that mature trees store things that humans need badly to survive.

When a forest burn entirely you can say goodbye to a lot of much needed water for years, and there is also a problem with carbon. We want carbon stored in the trees, not to be released in the air. And the soil layer needs decades to be created, but can vanish in a week. You can't just think in terms of 10 years. This creatures can live thousands of years.

What is very good for some animals, plants and fungi can be also very bad for other animals, plants and fungi. A net of burn areas isolating islands of intact areas would be a better solution probably providing a patched environment with lots of oportunities.

And we should remember that some very old forests reach a mature level that is fire resistent (plenty of humidity in soil). Laurisilva forests for example do not start burning unless a considerable amount of energy is applied.

Thank you for this response. I am really interested in your first sentence.

As I understand your response, I paraphrased a description of the scientific method and you were affronted by it. Is it science in general?

Your last paragraph was especially illustrative for me, while I am not familiar with a "fallacy of accepting the alternative" as I read it, your statement "rejecting one hypothesis is not evidence in support of any particular other hypothesis" does not explain to me the evidence you used to reject one hypothesis over another.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it reads like you feel that any hypothesis would be acceptable as an alternate. However that is not true, either in science or in Sherlock Holmes novels. As you probably know, in a Sherlock Holmes story at the end is the big reveal in which all of the facts are put together by the detective so that all of them can be true at the same time. Sometimes he does this by finding an additional clue which binds together two seemingly unrelated bits of evidence. But the great detective would not entertain a theory that the "Easter Bunny did it" in the absence of any possibility that the Easter Bunny could have done it.

In order for an alternative hypothesis to be considered valid by a scientist, it must first explain every fact that we already know to be true. Further, if the alternate needs an entirely new thing that hasn't been discussed before (your "God of Winter" for example), then it also has to have the evidence that was used to establish that new thing. As a scientist you have to accept that your hypothesis and your new thing will be challenged until nobody can find a single fact that would have to be different or a way in which your evidence can not be verified or reproduced. Of course during that process of challenging a lay person might hear one scientist who supports on hypothesis and one who supports a different hypothesis.

But would this be offensive to you? And if so what generates the offense? The lack of an answer or the multitude of answers?
Sorting by shape and size instead of more abstract aspects like function, type, usage frequency is inefficient.

I spent a year in a "Great Books" college, where there are no textbooks, no lectures, etc., just primary sources progressing roughly chronologically.

For first year math, you go through Elements almost entirely front-to-back. I have mixed feelings about the Great Books programs in general, but the Euclid class was remarkable. It tends not to be a math-heavy group of students, but even those who think they're bad at math can still follow (for the most part) the geometric proofs. It gave all of the students--those of us who were mathematically inclined and those who weren't--a shared vocabulary and methodology for talking about actual mathematics in a way that any of the other math classes I took later after transferring to another university would not have.

If anyone wants to go through them by yourself, do yourself a favor and get the Heath-annotated copies. Those annotations can be a life-saver when you get stuck.

> Arabian (sometimes called "Islamic") scholarship

"Islamic" seems like a much more accurate descriptor than "Arabian"? For example, looking up al-Khowarizmi, I see that the first sentence of his Wikipedia page is:

> Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī (Persian: محمد بن موسی خوارزمی‎‎, Arabic: محمد بن موسى الخوارزمی‎‎; c. 780 – c. 850), formerly Latinized as Algoritmi, was a Persian (modern Khiva, Uzbekistan) mathematician, astronomer, and geographer during the Abbasid Caliphate, a scholar in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad.

Or, looking up ibn Battuta:

> All that is known about Ibn Battuta's life comes from the autobiographical information included in the account of his travels, which records that he was of Berber descent, born into a family of Islamic legal scholars in Tangier, Morocco, on 25 February 1304, during the reign of the Marinid dynasty.

There were a lot more subjects of Arabian empires than there were Arabs.

Earlier explanations of the dinosaurs' demise were pretty speculative. Impact and Deccan traps volcanism were the about the only hypotheses that had specific physical evidence to support them.

According to Stephen Jay Gould, it turned out that the claim of declining dinosaur (and ammonite) diversity was exaggerated through poor statistical analysis, failing to account for the fact that a species' last appearance in the record does not mean that it became extinct immediately afterwards. Furthermore, when paleontologists specifically looked into diversity up to the boundary, they found it. Diversity is always changing, so some decline beforehand is not fatal to the theory.

Gould also believed that many geologists resisted the impact hypothesis on the basis of a somewhat dogmatic objection to 'catastrophism' in any form. This kept competing theories alive longer than perhaps they should have.

FWIW, I am not entirely satisfied with the explanations of how some classes (especially birds) survived, but in any case there were not so many survivors; terrestrial vertebrates came fairly close to total extinction. When the odds are long, chance can make a big difference.

Journalists often want a simple story to tell, and the myth of the dispassionate, objective scientist is largely just that: they will present the ideas they favor in the best light that evidence permits, and sometimes beyond. Furthermore, the evidence increases over time, whether for or against a hypothesis. When a hypothesis accumulates more, and more diverse, evidence consistent with it, its plausibility goes up, and if you want an informed opinion (of anything), you have to follow those developments.

Agreed, sounds like she had a lousy experience but indicting the whole academy for "failing those at its highest levels" (her words) seems like a bit of a stretch. The warning signs were all plainly visible when she signed up for this debacle six years ago. Some acknowledgment of the role she herself played in this would be refreshing. (Disclaimer: I read all 3/4/6 posts, so maybe she does somewhere.) Reminds me of what the bottom fell out of the legal industry 10 years ago, and the students all sued their law schools.

I would dispute the assertion that hashing is wasteful. That implies it's inefficient or you're not getting something of equal value in return for what you're paying. But in PoW you spend energy and get in return the security of a global public accounting ledger, which has considerable potential social value, easily comparable to the cost of it. It should not even be surprising that such a thing has great cost, given that economics is certain of only two things - incentives matter and there's no free lunch. There's no free lunch in blockchain. (well, maybe there is, but it would take a considerable CS breakthrough).

And if you're concerned about the environment, don't worry, most of Bitcoin is secured by hydropower right now anyway, and in the foreseeable future will probably migrate to solar power (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-california-giving-away-el...).
It's too bad humanities people tend not to use plain text that are checked into git, with hash codes and time stamps that are hard to fake. That way, she could have shown the various Deans that her work predated that of Dr Mao.

I didn't follow the ideas of Mao's suggesting that she had copied something in the literature. It seemed to be the material that she said Mao copied from her, but if that's the case, wasn't Mao plagiarizing? Or was Mao the author of that earlier work (and therefore a self-plagiarist)?

It's a great read, and I think the author should consider a job as a writer. Maybe all that work paid off, after all, in honing her ability to hold the readers' attention. Writers can do a lot of good for the world.

They justified it because right-wing propaganda apologists often claim their outrageous deceptions are satire. For the purposes of studying the dissemination of stories that are not true, lumping the Breitbart with The Onion makes sense to me.
In a book about the smoke jumpers from several years ago, one of the members made a profound statement, jokingly, probably, but maybe not. He said that instead of battling wildfires the way we do now, we just throw money on the fire and wait until the rains come.

With the continued droughts throughout the west and up into Alaska and Canada along with the effects of global warming, the forest lands are just dry tinder waiting for a spark. Having the fires grow so large, they can't be put out will become more and more common. Maybe letting them burn until the rains come is the right solution.
Sorry, but none of that is correct.

First, if you publish a container's port in docker, such as with the -p flag, e.g.,

docker run --rm -p 8080:80/tcp nginx:latest

Docker will listen, on the host, on ::; it will accept IPv4 connections on that bind. (Through IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses[1], which is a transition mechanism.)

But even if we force Docker to bind to only IPv4, curl will still work:

docker run --rm -p 127.0.0.1:8080:80/tcp nginx:latest

curl will attempt an IPv6 connection first in this case (since localhost resolves to ::1), and fallback when it fails (since localhost also resolves to 127.0.0.1). If you pass -v to curl, it will tell you as much:

* Trying ::1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* connect to ::1 port 8080 failed: Connection refused
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8080 (#0)

Perhaps there is some pathological case where Docker and curl and IPv6 and localhost don't all work together, but one would need more information to tell. But it doesn't "basically break" Docker.

There is definitely some information missing from this story. If the case for plagiarism was as clear-cut as the author makes it sound, the reaction of the university officials was very unusual. There is an email trail for the student's version of the story, and the student had a lawyer, yet all of the university administrators sided with the professor to protect Dr. Mao?

Other things:

She was afraid that Dr. Mao would find out about her dissertation essay. But if Dr. Mao plagiarized it, why wouldn't they already know about it?

Why would another professor beg a student to drop claims that Dr. Mao stole the work if there was an email trail?

The university let her use work that they concluded was plagiarized? She even raises that issue, so they more likely concluded that there wasn't enough evidence that Dr. Mao plagiarized.

"I learned that Dr. Mao had gotten over $300,000 in funding for an exhibition and publication based off of the same idea from the essay that I had originally suspected had been based off my work." But later: "I had found out about Dr. Mao’s exhibition a few months after I had sent them the original paper." So at most a few months had passed between seeing the paper for the first time and getting $300,000 for an exhibit. That seems fast to me.

Things make a lot more sense if the two of them had been having conversations about the topic, the student sent Dr. Mao a copy of the paper when it was done, and then Dr. Mao submitted their own paper. The facts just don't add up given this one-sided presentation.

Can't you also use manual train control during delays? I was once on a badly delayed train (we were second in line to the station behind a train with "police activity"). The operator pulls up to the train that's being held with maybe one inch between the bumpers and let's passengers off through only the front-most door. More creative thinking like this could help alleviate delays and increase passenger happiness.

No, it's not an alternative. You're conflating the grab bag of topics in an undergraduate linear algebra class with the subject of linear algebra.

Linear algebra is the study of linear operators on vector spaces over fields (a special case of modules over rings). Some vector spaces are inner product spaces, but most are not.

Exterior algebra is an example of multilinear algebra. Clifford (or geometric) algebras are constructed as an algebra over a vector space. Quaternions come via a different route: instead of constructing a multilinear algebra, they are one of a handful of very special algebras like C and the octonions.

Financial Times returns to Apple's App Store after six year hiatus
Speaking as a Montanan here.

The policy of "let some fires burn" has been in practice for a few decades now in our corner of the woods. Ever since the Yellowstone fire in the 80's, we've focused our efforts on containment instead of extinguishment (i.e. make a best effort to keep it away from human settlements); letting land lost to the fires just burn out naturally while stopping them from claiming too much land. Should we let them burn more? Perhaps.

But it's never so easy. The cost of just letting some go when they're a couple dozen or even hundred acres can spiral out of control when you're suddenly attempting to stop a 300,000 acre fire that has already burned out 16 homes and is threatening towns. Yes, firefighters die fighting fires. Civilians also die when an uncontained fire goes from a theoretical threat on the horizon to consuming their house in a matter of minutes.

Fire doesn't respect property boundaries, and can travel a tremendous speeds (upwards of 10mph). And they aren't really like floods - it's not just the forests that burn, it's the flat lands with all the nice dead grasses. Grass fires can move even faster than forest fires, given a wind to push it along.

Humans aren't the only ones affected, either. The livestock which used that land for feed still has to be fed, or face starvation. Argue all you want about the inhumanity of our treatment of livestock generally; letting them starve due to a lack of hay (tied to a lack of money) is worse.

There are some who feel that they should not have to support those affected by natural disasters. I'm sure others will be happy to return the favor.

1. I have always hated the notion that having a happy marriage is about filtering through many candidates to find the one perfect partner. Although I do think it's reasonable to try to learn early on what you're looking for, this idea that we should all be dramatically expanding our dating pool to find the perfect person is abominable.

Look at a city with a massive population of eligible young people, like say NYC.. and then listen to what people in NYC say about the dating scene there. It's not pretty. Having such a huge pool of potential mates discourages people from committing. In other words, it makes it harder to find a long term mate, and it makes you less satisfied with whoever you're seeing.

2. Biology isn't the only reason a person might want to get married before 40. There's something to be said for sharing your early adulthood with a person. Meeting your life partner at 37 will be a very different experience from meeting your life partner at 22. Not necessarily a bad experience, but not what everyone is looking for.
