One of my favorites was dancing wildly around a fire in Somalia. We didn't even share much of a language and the alcoholic beverages where some horrific concoction whose only saving grace was that it was efficiently effective.

Ah, but we danced. People even put aside their firearms to dance. I don't know what we were celebrating, but celebrating is what we did.

As near as I can tell, there were no specific dance moves and, every once in a while, you'd be pushed into the center of a circle of dancers. Once in the center, it was your chance to shine. Just let go of your inhibitions and move as the music moves you.

Somewhere, there is video of this episode. I've shown it to the missus, we weren't together at the time. She's concluded that my dance reminds her of the mating ritual of the blue-footed booby but sped up by a factor of ten.

I'm reluctant to tell people what they should do, so I will say that dancing like nobody is watching (even if they are) is a great release.

I'm going to voice an unpopular opinion.

I think this overall is good for consumers, and good for business.

Sprint is woefully under capitalized, neither T-Mo or Sprint have as much PCS Spectrum (read, they don't have enough) in the largest markets as either AT&T or T-Mobile. Because of this (and some other factors relating to economy of scale) neither T-Mo or Sprint is really truly competitive (on performance) with either AT&T or Verizon outside of a few selected markets.

Our Mobile Phone networks are expensive in the US - but thats largely a function of how much coverage you have to provide to places where (nearly) no-one lives.

Figure a cell site costs $1000+ a month to keep it on the air - and Sprint alone had 20,000 cell sites when I was inside their network last in 2015 - so 20 million a month just to keep the sites on, that doesn't cover backhaul, CO's, trunking, staffing or any of the other costs to keep a network up. Verizon and AT&T each have more coverage than sprint does, and 2-3 times the sites - they also have many more sites that on a good day might see 2-3 subs roam thru.

Lots of medicines are straightforward to manufacture, and as long as you're careful and follow the same sorts of risk-mitigating procedures and quality assurance steps that you would expect from a manufacturer, you would be served no worse by your own generic brand.

That said, ideally we could fix the medicine-specific patent law craziness (and the regulatory inefficiency which necessitates it). Obviously, the specifics are much more complicated than anyone with a side to pick is willing to admit.

There's a lake not far from me in Raleigh, NC that I often run past. The lake is used for recreation. It's also an EPA Superfund site because a company long since out of business, Ward Transformers, saw fit to dispose of its polutants right into a ditch behind the plant. The chemicals ran off into the lake and streams for miles. All the nearby waterways warn not to eat the fish caught therein.

At one point, a contractor hired by the company to dispose of the chemicals was caught spraying them along rural roadsides.

I have not that much experience with SAS. I first played with it for 6 months several years ago, then again for 3 months a few years ago in very specific jobs (what fun it is to be cleaning data with a pure SAS proc instead of using perl - ouch!)

I have spent much more time with R, but this class is taught with SAS and it objectively shows some advantages that SAS still has today - in the case I was talking about, if you don't want just a log rank test but something more exotic without writing any code, SAS just has it.

Considering how SAS refuses to die, it is interesting to learn with it, before finding a way to do the same in R, as I am likely to encounter some SAS code again!

But in a few weeks, I plan to recode all the examples I see in pure R.

Well, I was mainly talking about orphan drugs that aren't yet commercialized. Once they're commercialized, they're still called orphan drugs, but maybe that should be "formerly orphan drugs" or whatever.

And yes, one of the incentives to encourage commercialization of orphan drugs is extended exclusivity.
I would bet it is related to the mismanagement of the German automation plant that Tesla acquired about a year ago (on mobile, too hard to post links, maybe someone wants to help).

The plan as I understand it was to use the technology at this company to speed up production but it hasn't been going as planned, in large part due to misunderstanding of cultural differences i.e. No one is going to be happy here in Germany if you start changing the terms of contracts that were supposed to last for the next few years and people in general don't respect abusive bosses. Unemployment rate is 3%, no need to (and lower for highly skilled workers). And you can't just tell people to not take vacation because production is behind, you'll get laughed at.

That's why I said "not-for-profit" production. I mean, it's not like these drugs cost any more to manufacture than other drugs. It's that the patent holder seeks to recover their development cost on a much smaller sales volume.

> and so labor groups that are entrenched in legacy car manufacturing wish to prevent Tesla from accelerating those companies' decline.

You say this but Tesla got absolutely spanked in the last 3 quarters in its auto division by the supposedly inferior unionized likes of Chevrolet, Fiat, Nissan and Toyota. ALL of them got much more affordable offerings out to market before the Model 3 was ready. Fiat managed to get refurbed and quite enjoyable 500es on sale for under $13000. The Leaf has enjoyed brisk national sales that picked up substantially last year. Toyota's Prius Prime and Chevy's Volt are sophisticated large-bank hybrids with outstanding reviews. The real kicker is Chevy's Bolt, which is pretty much competitive directly with a model 3 and gets outstanding reviews, with Chevy dramatically retooling to convert their Sonic lines to start selling more Bolts (an act that was curiously misrepresented by a lot of traditionally very pro-Tesla press, btw).

These EVs are moving well anywhere the economy is in okay shape, bucking the trend of slowing car sales as the market is glutted by used cars that are flatlining in value due to oversupply.

This idea that labor unions area a conspiracy to decrease productivity is difficult to prove, and given the magnitude of that allegation the lack of performance on Tesla's part with the Model 3 seems pretty damning for your argument here.

> So while I strongly support organized labor in abstract, it's difficult to blame Tesla for wishing to make its workforce less vulnerable to attack from big labor. Like many interest groups, big labor is mostly concerned with its own survival and growth, and is not really about the workers at all.

This, "I am sympathetic but actually these people are distilled evil, lie about everything including their mission, and are actually made up of saboteurs" line is the pinnacle of disingenuous discourse. I hope you don't think this passes muster for rational discourse here.

You obviously do not, "support organized labor in abstract" if you view a unionization effort (which you centralize into some kind of phantom called "big labor" as if it isn't actually made of a multitude of loosely cooperating worker-run-and-governed groups) nor do you seem terribly interested in "the workers" or their fate when productivity might be at stake.

Where/when do we teach people to question what they read? This is rather different than a critical analysis - this is understanding that things like propaganda are not the crackly loudspeakers repeating chants to glorious leader that we characterize it as in our media and entertainment. In reality propaganda is something that tells a story, but subtly (or not so subtly) pushes the reader in a certain preconceived way. For a stereotypical instance, anytime in war an image or story of children being hurt is used as justification for anything - red flags should go off. It's easy to see this when I say it, but few recognize it when they are actually being fed such imagery from a source they believe trustworthy -- again our biases shuts down our systems of critique. I certainly received no formal education on this whatsoever until university and even there it was only because I chose to take an array of classes focusing on war, revolution, and marketing.

When I speak of bots, I am implicitly speaking of the inevitable adaptions to any sort of attempt to crack down on them. I do agree with you that right now many bots can be detected pretty easily. But that's largely because they have no reason to disguise the fact that they're a bot. In many ways, I think the current system is more desirable. As bots progress to actually trying to emulate human behavior it's going to result in the sort of paranoia you see on many forums today where individuals call one another 'shills' as a means of expressing disagreement. And ultimately, I do not think it will be at all difficult to pass a heavily crippled turing test of 140 character unidirectional messaging.

https://www.salon.com/2003/03/12/spectrum/

Basically, the argument is that interference (as understood in spectrum policy) is a myth. The channel capacity of a frequency band is a limit between two distinct physical points--it's not some global (or even local) limit. If you put two pairs of broadcasters and receivers in the same room using the same band, the laws of nature don't require that the available capacity to each pair be cut in half. It's the same as it was before for each pair; any reduction in throughput is merely a limitation of their particular technology. As sensitivity improves; as algorithms improve; as processing power increases; you can asymptotically approach your original (uncontended) throughput even as more transmitters join the fray.

The above articles are fairly old, but their arguments have born out, and the fundamental science isn't contested. MIMO, beamforming, software defined radio, and other approaches are now widespread and have permitted orders of magnitude more _aggregate_ throughput for the same geographical area, even as the number of transmitters has dramatically increased. And things will only continue to improve for the foreseeable future.

It's not literally true that interference is a myth. And there are fundamental physical limitations that we'll eventually bump up against. But those fundamental limits are beyond the horizon. In the context of historic and contemporary spectrum policy, interference is indeed a myth.

The above technologies have come to fruition slower than free spectrum proponents argued. But their argument has always been that as long as government treats spectrum as scarce and grants legally protected monopoly rights, there's less market incentive to develop those technologies.

The fundamental argument isn't that we need to add more bands to mobile, but that we need to remove (or at least loosen) the regulations which artificially constrain contention. If market participants had to deal with more band contention, there'd be more incentive to improve their technology to restore the service quality. As long as you don't have malicious people intentionally trying to disrupt the system, the argument is that market incentives alone would spur technological improvements at least as fast as contended usage grew.

Of course, for the deployed technology at any particular point in time, more spectrum is better. But the argument here is about optimal long-term policy, not about the best way to ensure first responders can communicate 6 months from now.

Experience and intuition give you approximately no useful, valid "feel" for how much LOC is appropriate for a given thing, with the possible exception of outliers or incredibly trivial programs.

We don't value LOC as a measure of productivity because it is a terrible metric to use. That doesn't change just because a person is on the developer rather than the manager side of things.
Another, different, scientist. No, but I think that he makes people believe that science is more definitive, unbiased, magically an accurate reflection of reality (that is, "true" or "real" or "correct"), and agreed-upon than it really is. I also worry that because his fields, which are relatively "hard sciences", are not being hit very hard by the replication crisis, that he is callous to the danger that the "soft sciences"' collective failure has done to science's mainstream image.
> Though Tesla cited performance as the reason for the firings, the source told Reuters he was fired in spite of never having been given a bad review.
I'm not classifying them as dead weight, Tesla is. If they are firing them, they must in some way believe they are dead weight in some context. It's not an indictment on the employees, it's an indictment of Tesla.

On the other hand I believe these people are not dead weight and are redeemable with the right effort.
I have tried it too. I did not PR in the 5k I tried it for. I think on long runs I never noticed, but 50 minute sessions with 5k pace intervals never felt the same zip as I did on carbs. I was consistent with it for 3-4 months so I am sure I was fat adapted. I noticed my water weight was less unstable (my weight didn't fluctuate as much day to day.) I still like periods of low carb, but I found it onnerous to stay I'm that 20g or less range always. Especially with kids and a wife not on the same diet. So I am optimistically on board the low carb diet scheme, it was fine for me. I cautiously think fine for almost everyone. But... :)

Pharmaceutical companies are paid just as much per unit in Australia. It's just funded by the taxpayer, under the assumption that healthy people will eventually pay tax.

> your country's persecution of homosexuals and aboriginals

I dunno, we've only had one major race riot this century(six total on Wikipedia)[1], whereas the Wikipedia article for 'Mass racial violence in the United States' has eight in the same time period, and quite a few occurrences of 'This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.'[2]

In terms of government action, we had a government apology(from the PM too, not just a motion passed) to the aboriginals before you had one to slaves(again, it wasn't done by a president). We haven't needed to apologise to slaves since they were either repatriated or properly integrated into society(again, one race riot this century).

In terms of homosexuality, Australia has possibly 88 murders of this nature[3], and no Wikipedia article dedicated to it[4], with approximately 150 instances since 1969(including a few mass shootings, which are a uniquely American problem). There has been some recent anti-gay propaganda, but that's due to a public vote on gay marriage, which is the sort of thing that would inflame divisions. Somehow, the argument has been on the suitability of homosexuals to raise children, and the risk of religious freedoms being restricted by poorly written legislation. We haven't had any signs saying "god hates fags" though.

I think Australia's doing pretty well.
