For anyone really in to minesweeper, I want to recommend the Hexcells series of games, available on Steam.

It's hexagonal minesweeper that gradually introduces new clues, and there is always enough information that you don't have to guess. It's a really well done puzzle game.

Such a great product:

+ Free

+ Cross platform

+ You own/control your data

+ extremely flexible

+ true double entry (unlike mint etc)

+ great for an individual power user or keeping very simple corporate books

- a little longer to pull financial data as you need to download CSV files etc from each financial institution

- some reports can be a bit clunky/annoying to customize

- Not sure i would use this for a complicated business with lots of employees or huge volumes of transactions
The supplement and drug industries are constantly finding ways to provide chemistry that will be most specific and bio-available. While this certainly has benefits, I worry that by bypassing precursors, we also often bypass important regulatory steps the body uses to avoid damage.

The idea that taking something that fixes a symptom, but then creates a permanent tolerance, makes me think that getting that chemical too directly in the past may have caused the tolerance that caused the initial symptom.
What makes it a conservative think tank?
Cost aside you make a good point. In today's science we are trying to uncover subtle effects with much more noise.
I have some older books and heavy papers on the subject. Any recent lightweight treatments you can link to? Thanks.
A comment wouldn't be enough, and ideas aren't worth a penny without a detailed execution plan. Honestly if you are interested you have to put the hours and do your own research, then test things yourself and see what you are most comfortable doing/what works for your niche or business.
If you're really interested, lets exchange emails or telegram and chat, I would gladly offer some time helping you out (for free ofc).
> Additionally, using science and other expert judgments can easily tend toward simply choosing experts and studies that align with whatever policy you want to push for unrelated reasons, or outright seeking to manipulate research for political ends.

Of course it can, but that's equally true for any other way of making decisions. So it's not a downside of science in particular.
It can't be the worst experience if things actually line up.
Holy wow, that seems draconian! Is it solely so they can find you and prosecute you for your opinions? (serious question)
1. Gates was bad at Microsoft

2. Gates left Microsoft.

To clarify on the legal history - this dismissal merely states that the case no longer matters thanks to the CLOUD Act. The CLOUD Act resolves this by allowing the US Government use a warrant to force US companies to turn over data on any US citizen that it has stored abroad. To me, the CLOUD Act is a reasonable compromise. It continues to grant the US government access only to US citizen information.

It is not a ruling on whether the US government can access other data stored by US companies abroad.

The original case started because Microsoft argued that the US Government has no right to access data stored abroad, because that would give unprecedented access to non-citizens' data. The government argued that it did.

There's enough resources to conduct multiple wars and bailout the financial industry every 10 years, but not enough resources to educate our fellow citizens and fund research? (with all results open and accessible to all through this fancy thing called the internet)

Our problem isn't lack of resources. There's 7.5 billion people in the world, I can't believe we've ran out of control groups and experiments to do. Maybe it's a little more difficult with medical edge cases, but there's plenty of other things to research. It's just hard to do it politically, especially with people that are "anti-science", meaning against funding research that might show outcomes that aren't good for them economically, or against their religion.

Beware of Methodologies
In response to several threads here: it is important to distinguish when scientists are self critical vs. when non-scientists are critical of the scientific method. For instance, there is a long history of scientists criticizing how the scientific process is currently conducted for the purposes of improving the scientific endeavor. That work is sometimes used by non-scientists who question the overall scientific method. However, such use is invalid as the scientific self-criticism

1. assumes the validity of the scientific method

2. relies on the scientific method as its critical lens

Whereas those who critique science as a whole:

1. assume that the scientific method does not work and does not arrive at "truth"

2. then use scientists being self critical to prove #1.

Such a "proof" does not work as there is its uses the assumption "the scientific method arrives at truth" to derive the contradiction "the scientific method does not arrive at truth". See for instance comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16859200

In reality, work on reproducibility is about improving the practice of science overall. It does not in itself show that science is inherently untrustworthy. What it does show is that scientific discovery is difficult and it takes a lot of effort and new findings should be treated critically. What does critically mean in this context? It means with in the boundaries of science analyzing the theoretical basis, hypothesis, method, and experimental results for potential flaws. It does not mean to be skeptical as a default because science "doesn't work."
Is that supposed to make it better?

I have friends who unfortunately got to witness what happens when plate glass comes down. They can barely talk about it. It also means that the injured and trapped folks in the high rises are going to be without aid in buildings with dead mechanicals for awhile.
LA is 40% immigrants because large immigrant populations are already established in LA, whereas Toronto was basically white until a few decades ago.

LA is roughly 48% Latino, 30% "white", 11% Asian, 10% Black, and 30% "other" generally referring to smaller ethnic groups or to multi-ethnic individuals. LA's minority population on an absolute basis is larger than the entire population of the Toronto Metro Area. We have every type of Asian, European, South and North American, African, and Pacific Islander there is. We have ethnic populations in LA that are the only settled populations of those groups outside of their home countries, such as Iranian Jews and Druze.

Toronto is 48% white, 9% Black, 1% Aboriginal, and the remainder is Asian. Not diverse by US standards, unless you're comparing yourself to Cleveland or Indianapolis, maybe.

Asking for "the best" might be a bit subjective, no? Early on, the Matrix Console Android client was ok; i had no problems with it. Though i think it was intended merely as a reference implementation. The Riot client (it used to be called Vector client) gained alot of attention since the beginning, so its got plenty more polish. I honestly have not used any of the other clients - since happily sticking with Riot (web client). But the matrix.org site does have a list of clients/apps (and the list is much longer than I recall since the last time I checked): https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html You lose nothing in giving a few of them a try. Cheers!
About 5 years ago my wife and I actually started ordering from Dominos because Pizza Hut and Papa Johns routinely took 60-90 minutes to deliver us cold pizzas in our area (a DC Suburb). I was half-joking when I told her "nobody ever eats Dominos anymore, I bet they'd have no queue and get us pizzas fast".

I had heard that they reinvented their pizza. We were pleasantly surprised and really liked the pizza. Plus I was right, we regularly got our pizzas hot and fresh within 30 mins. So we were Dominos customers for a while before we moved (to another DC suburb). Now nobody delivers to us, which is crazy given that we're not exactly in the boonies!

I think the problem is that the tech gets implemented by general subject teachers, often without proper support (in UK).

You need comprehensively designed curricula that can exploit all the tech available in a completely integrated way. Instead it seems you get a pile of tablets, then a subscription to an online system, and it relies on the particular teachers comfort level with the tech and willingness to include it.

In UK schools the use of tech seems mostly unsophisticated.

Interesting definition choice, as what constitutes an MMU has also fuzzily shifted over the years. From what I've seen, most of the SoC designs contain what in the microcontroller world of the 90s would be considered more than a minimal MMU, take for instance the classic M68451 [1], and the multi-stage bus pipelines and super-wide buses of these 'embedded' designs easily surpass such early MMUs.

> Instead of arguing over whether and how much the government should be imposing sin taxes on fats (and what kind of fats?) or sugars (and what kind of sugars), the better approach would be to do nothing and let people make their own choices based on the best information available to them at the time.

Why? Do we believe that individuals are likely to be better informed than governments? (why?)

Uncertainty is a fact of life. Any decision-making process will lead to some mistakes. That's not a reason to give up on trying to make things better. If the government believes, based on the best evidence available at the time, that a particular fat tax policy (say) will, overall, be good for society, surely it's better to implement that policy than not.

> Most software, and nearly all 'enterprise' or 'business' software should be able to be fully defined and written on paper, by humans, before a single developer is engaged to translate those requirements to something a computer can run.

This was literally day one of my systems architecture class in college, over 20 years ago. It's probably done more often than you think, but the problem is the workflows change slightly over time, and rather than go back to the drawing board each time, they just tweak the systems software. The result, though, is a mess.
Only possible because government sits above companies and regulates them (and their ability to break strikes).
"Causation" is defined as temporal correlation: changes in A cause changes in B. There's no reason to thin computers would be "bad" at this. People are only bad at this because they have small, lazy brains

Even the greatest physicists and mathematicians can't tell the difference between correlation and causation. When people say "causation is not correlation", what they truly mean is "spurious, context-sensitive correlation is not strong universal correlation"

A power play - sure. It's not the first (and surely not the last, unless something unthinkable happens) time our Tsar and his boyars introduce "countermeasures" against "foreign agents" that barely affect anyone abroad, but are essentially showing the world what kind of enforced restrictions Russian serfdom can tolerate for "national security" reasons - if any reasons at all.

When the Soviets had dissolved, Russia had its internal power struggles and was late to this game - but as we've entered this era of stabilnost' (cf. Harmonious Society) we're catching up fast.

The 100th Meridian coincides almost exactly with the western edge of the Gulf of Mexico. If I understand correctly, moisture comes up from the south, not just from the Rockies. If the wind pattern changes so that more air comes from the west and less from the south, that moisture flow is reduced.
Haven't downvoted, but I'd guess it probably starts with "Why are we bothering to educate anyone except the very, very best students in physics, maths and engineering?"

Sure, we will undoubtedly get better society-wide results if we identify a subset of elite students (notably defined primarily in terms of STEM fields) and only "bother" educating them, leaving everyone else to Just Trust Them™ and underutilizing the long tail of talent.

And then there's the premise that society somehow isn't looking to utilize the existing population of elite students, which of course it is, no shortage of organizations looking for outliers.

About the only good point there is that our system for allocating the best/brightest to certain problems could use improvement.
+1, most talk of "economics" in politics is just to couch or justify some political position that a side wants to push. Actual economics is boring and frankly going to produce some mixed results and no one on either side wants to hear.

For new stuff, FDA performs a holistic cost/benefit analysis.

In this case, they might weigh:
* How many new cases are caught by expanding access to specialist tools
* What fail safes exist in current course of care — how does a false negative result in a worse outcome for a patient than if they had had no diagnostic at all
* etc.

The summary of their decision is public record, but not the detailed analysis.
Are they using some popular framework? Do other clients (or potential clients) use it?

I'm not sure I really agree with this, because in science studies are biased towards aligning with the results of previous studies. This can be due to many factors: authors' expectations, journals like to publish positive over negative results, peer reviewers will look more critically (in an analytical sense) at work that disagrees with accepted research, etc....

It can be very hard for many reasons to stand up and say "this prior work is wrong".
The rest of the comment explicitly disagrees with that thought. I have edited it to make it clearer.

The GUI needs some work but it is functional. Navigation to find things is not always easy for daily tasks. I have not looked at the recently released V3.0 yet.

I even looked into helping with the programming by adding a report that I wanted but the tools they used seemed very complicated to me.

Something that's not specifically mentioned is that, as far as I can tell, the author is a single freelance developer. Most people don't need a bookkeeping system, a simple budget application is enough to handle personal finances. It's been a while, but the last time I looked, GnuCash's budget system wasn't fully thought out.

The other aspect to this is that as the situation starts to become more complicated, doing it yourself stops making sense. Adding in children, a house, employees, etc, increases the chances of making a mistake and then having to go through an audit, which is expensive and time consuming. It's a better strategy to find tax accountant (local) and work with him to make sure the IRS has no need to investigate you.
I'll second the opinion for Dropbox. GnuCash has lock files, so you can open read-only if it is being edited by another person to avoid conflict.
