7 Great Health Benefits of Spending Time in the Forest
I've not seen a standard position for such fields. Different software produces different layouts of printed information. I suppose it's possible that MOST software will produce a standard layout, but in my short time in the industry I witnessed a wide range of layouts for documents intended to be folded and inserted into a window envelope. (EDIT: Should add that 'software' would also include printer drivers and printer hardware/software that does not always interpret fonts, sizing, etc., in the same way.)

As for how folder-inserters can be used incorrectly: there are various settings you have to fine-tune, most notably the location of the creases. If the creases are too far in one direction, you will end up with the address not displaying appropriately in the window. So you run a test, bump it up or down, and repeat until the info is in the window correctly. THEN, and only then, do you proceed to run the remaining 100s or 1000s of pages.

Worth noting that tuning is not always due to printed pages being in different layouts. The machines themselves have moving parts that start drifting a bit over time, so you are basically recalibrating it.
> My understanding is that closer to the equator is better, with some caveats.

For this project, I don't think it matters. They even said they will orient the launcher vertically.

The reason you normally want to be closer to the equator is that you get some sideways velocity from the rotating earth, and that is faster nearer the equator. This is important for low earth orbits because the sideways velocity is very high.

However, in this case they don't really care much about sideways velocity. They want to reach escape velocity. As you go higher, the sideways velocity needed to stay in orbit gets smaller, until finally it's practically zero. So, any gain they would get from being near the equator wouldn't be needed.

I think.
I agree. If we weren't on a forum filled with mostly people from CA who take for granted things like byzantine HOA rules and intrusive bylaws we'd be questioning why emissions requirements made "screw it, we're cheating on this one" a defensible decision for anyone at VW. You shouldn't have to break the law to be competitive.
People have a largely fixed entertainment budget. While it can flex some, it won't generally double for the majority of Americans, at least.

The number one impact on box office sales is a shitty experience. I would pay consistently for an Alamo Drafthouse type experience. I quit considering movie theaters, because I just don't feel good about any of it.

Very large numbers of my peers have done the same. Wait for the movie, buy a Disc, or download, make a great dinner, and it's a no contest choice. Costs about the same too.

As for piracy, funny how that works. I'm told it's costing billions, when I know better. I'm told it's theft when I know better too.

Buying media via download costs me roughly what physical media does, and I can't trade and share with friends. Not a huge bother, but yet another negative we don't need.

Honestly, I just found other experiences. It's hard to get me to even watch a movie today, and forget TV.

I just don't need it, and rarely want it. As a group activity, a movie still makes sense. I'll do that, but not in a poor environment, and I'm in no hurry.
I once said in a college paper that what gets listed as scarce resources will change as we venture into space.

I was watching the eclipse in Corvallis and, about 10 minutes before totality, a plane jetted around at high altitude and left a contrail[1]. The new cloud, in the otherwise perfectly clear sky, began to drift toward the sun and I thought, "There could be few better symbols of the attitude that some of %0.0001 have to the rest of us than this." Fortunately, even though the contrail did drift over the sun during totality[1], it was very thin (and dark) and did not distract and the event in the least.

I'm glad Alaska Air did this flight over the Pacific and not where they would distract hundreds of thousands of people with their flight. Anyone know how to find out what flight (or private jet) was the one I saw was? Would be an interesting fact to add to my memory of the event.

Please forgive the many artifacts from this smartphone camera.

[2] During totality (https://njarboe.com/eclipse/totality.jpg). This photo was right at the beginning of totality and in no way captures what I saw, but does show where the contrail ended up. I was more interested in experiencing the eclipse than trying to get a photo.

CVD diamond synthesis has become so effective that it's embarrassing.[1][2] The diamond gem industry made a terrible mistake. They promoted "flawless" diamonds as the most valuable. Now they're up against a process borrowed from the semiconductor industry, which makes flawless crystals in bulk.

DeBeers keeps trying to maintain the distinction between natural and synthesized diamonds, but it's coming unglued. They keep coming out with more and more elaborate machines for detecting synthetic diamonds.[3]

You, I like you. Best view on the matter so far. Thanks.
The author uses several musical examples, and I've worked as a professional musician for a long, long time.

Waiting for a music exec or manager to somehow hear your work is a terrible strategy. On average, if you wait around to be discovered, you'll be waiting a long time.

In music, networking is hugely important to being successful. Going to people's gigs, meeting others, and similar was hugely important for me to establish myself as a working musician when I moved across the country last year. But, effective networking is most necessary and productive in "gig" type economies.

In tech, meetups and such aren't always great networking opportunities because the way most technical people collaborate is in the work environment, and most people change jobs rarely. Contrast this with most musical relationships, where it's much easier to exchange information and call a new person for a gig, which happens many times per week usually.

I'm sensitive to this because early in my music career, I severely undervalued the value of networking, and watched many of my colleagues (all of whom were excellent at networking) get good gigs and opportunities. As soon as I realized I was undervaluing networking, I made a correction, and subsequently have had a much more satisfying life as a musician.

Sat in the back on an Alaska flight to Hawaii and they ran out of food a couple rows before me. Felt like a bad MBA optimization - save $20 on food by under buying at the cost of periodically making a few passenger unhappy for a 5 hour flight.
It's a matter of opinion, and I agree to some extent that phones can allow people to be productive or feed a curiosity.

At the end of the day, though, I think the greatest thing that gets to me is its impulsiveness and form of instant gratification.

It's gotten so bad that people can't even put their phones down while driving. I've seen enough drivers texting, even if they are just stopped at a red light. Why we permit people to continue driving when they can't respect the notion of operating a several-thousand pound, gasoline-filled vehicle that can kill dozens of those around them is beyond me.

On a less extreme spectrum, sometimes when eating dinner with friends a question will be posed and someone will whip out their phone to look it up. Sure, having answers instantaneously is a benefit, but the drawback is also the loss in ability to take a moment to ponder the question... to come up with your one's own thoughts and exercise the mind, so to speak.

I think this is a bit of a false dichotomy; the idea is that caring about inclusivity also leads to better code, and that "only caring about the code" leads to a local, rather than global maximum for quality.
The standard set by SCOTUS in Obergefell v. Hodges was "except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action.". This itself comes from the "compelling government interest" standard which is related to the ideal of "strict scrutiny". I would say that the problematic suggestions coming from the American left have related to crossing out the word "imminent" in that standard.

The problem is that when the standard is so expanded it stifles the expression of emotions and values. Ideas are not powerful, at least in my telling; "ideas are powerful" is usually a statement by someone selling ideas, by which I mean selling magazines. What is powerful are the emotional connections that bind people to ideas and through ideas bind people together into groups and movements. These are not so easily banned and must be exposed in order to be dealt with.

I'm sorry I called you a fascist earlier. Today has been stressful.
It likely resulted in multiple deaths from air pollution.

Now, yes worldwide 100,000's of people die every year from air pollution but simply giving up is a poor solution. Further, you can't make getting caught have similar penalties vs. cheating or you promote cheating as having zero downsides.

You can configure your email sending with a reply-to email (example customers@mydomain.com) and not have auto replies or bounces go to that reply-to address.

The auto replies will go to the envelope sender email. I prefer to set that to something like email@mydomain.com rather than noreply@mydomain.com because noreply just looks so unfriendly.

Replies from real people will go to the reply-to email (customers@mydomain.com) and bounces/auto-replies will go to the sender address (email@mydomain.com). You can then write a script that automatically clears the auto-replies and handles the bounces from the email@mydomain.com inbox.

This will allow you to still handle real customer inquiries that come into the reply-to email without being bombarded with bounces and auto-replies.

Thank you for posting this.

Similar thoughts have been percolating in my stream-of-consciousness for a while, especially after coming across an earlier version of Tegmark & Lin's paper some months ago.

My take is that deep neural nets work so well in practice because not all distributions of natural data are equally likely (and therefore, the no-free-lunch theorem(s), which assumes all distributions are equally likely, doesn't hold in the real world!); and that, in turn, is because the distribution of natural data is a consequence of the laws of Physics / symmetries of the universe in which we happen to live.

PS. You will enjoy the following papers too: "An exact mapping between the Variational Renormalization Group and Deep Learning" - https://arxiv.org/abs/1410.3831 ; and "Mutual Information, Neural Networks and the Renormalization Group" - https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.06279 .

ICO Today Ends in a Couple Hours Changing the Way We Internet Don’t Miss Out
I've just written a book. (It's about social implications of a technology.) Pretty much all the sales I'm making are networking, one way or another. It's a good book! People who read it love it! But it's self-published, and I haven't worked out how the heck to get people to write about it, and so my sales are all word of mouth from happy readers. It's just become a college textbook (!!) so I'm doing at least something right ...

Writing it was the same. I posted the whole draft to my Facebook in chunks, and this improved it amazingly, because my friends, like yours, are querulous nerds, and my goodness a querulous nerd given permission to be as querulous as they like, well. But I'm 50, and I've spent a few decades accumulating hundreds of contacts who are smart people who are experts in things that I'm not. And I totally relied on them to make this not suck.

I'm a huge nerd. But even my beep-boop sysadmin day job is, frankly, 50% public relations and getting people to do stuff because they feel they should because I asked nicely. Networking.

When I started, I too was bereft of network. But my first IT job was courtesy ... networking! And my second. And my third.

tl;dr Do your damnedest to be a social supernode. Make sure you know everyone, such that if you don't then you'll know someone who does. And keep in touch with them. It'll pay off big down the line.

(I went through Facebook last week and visited the pages of every one of the 1000+ people I have friended, to say hi and see what they were up to. Don't trust The Algorithm to maintain your relationships.)
