Can you elaborate on being depressed? Maybe I'm not being in denial of depression so much as being ignorant about the symptoms.

Here are some things I will state about my personal life: I have gradually went on "silent mode" with most people I know. I stopped hanging out with friends to dedicate more time to my job search. I don't really use Facebook anymore. My friends aren't very effective job leads, anyways. They're not really familiar with my kind of work, not even through a second-hand connection.
This feels like a made-up story designed to attract clicks. Even more with the happy ending update.

> I'm sure he does

She does. Sorry I did forget to include the original link https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/26/world/korea-summit-kang-kyung... it is Amanpour interviewing South Korean Foreign Minister, Kang Kyung-wha.

> they aren't going to be stupid enough to insult the US publicly by saying that they aren't needed (especially when the President is someone who has clearly demonstrated he needs his ego stroked).

There is something else in between singing praises and insults. Could have just been a generic praise for all parties. The interviewer didn't asks "who credit goes to". Could have praised her own boss for a change "look what we've done".

> the reality is that NK as just been getting on with whatever program they wanted to do regardless of what they or the US says publicly. Kim is still in power, and they have nukes.

Exactly and this is the first time they met. She (the foreign minister) said "I feel like someone stepped on the accelerator" since the beginning of the year. And well, Trump has certainly been preoccupied with NK for a while. Again, I can at least see saying "well he made it worse" by his actions and comments but I don't see saying he has nothing to do with it.
I agree with your sentimate. It's also important to remember that we continually learn new things about how previously considered inert components actually have effect when ingestested in combination with active ingredients. I love glutamate. When isolating them from other components and changing chemical structure, then dumping that in high volumes into other food (where the Chinese Food Syndrome part comes from), it does not seem unreasonable to me that it may cause irritation to some peoples digestive system. So I guess it's important to express that a whole is not only a sum of its parts, and both biology and chemistry are fluid evolving disciplines.
> You have a decent analysis of the emitted frequencies here:

That still shows something approaching a black body radiatior. The difference is just the planckian locus. In other words it does emit a full spectrum, just with a power distribution that mimics sunset light and not midday sunlight.
I was referring to the arms inspections that were taking place through the 90s. Iraq had some quantity of chemical and biological WMDs that the Americans were eager to destroy. Iraq let them. And then still got invaded.

I was referring to this, when I said they disarmed.
This is interesting, I guess they're closing the current loophole where they can't actually determine which movie you're seeing from the debit charge. Currently, if you get blocked from seeing a movie that you've already seen, just pick another one and "check in" and the money gets loaded and just buy the ticket for whatever movie you actually want to see. Adding the receipt verification makes this much harder to pull off.

Same lunch box as someone else. In an office of 7 people, I had the same lunch box as two coworkers. Have someone else make your lunch or bring a generic enough item and it could happen.

Honest mixups happen and when they are followed up with an apology then it's fine. Let common sense prevail.

I don't know the motivation but it's a common problem for some reason. I worked at one place where it got so out of hand me a few other co-workers got fed up and spiked a bunch of our leftovers with brutally hot habanero sauce and left them in the fridge in the lunchroom. It worked.
I thought they never did?

I've eaten/drank parts of co-workers lunches unwittingly thinking they were part of the community food/beverage selection.

I never got reprimanded, but I did have to sheepishly explain to a coworker that I drank his soda thinking it was one of the community ones since it was in the door of the fridge and unmarked.

I now work at a company with an extensive free kitchen and you have to do an extremely good job of marking your personal food since the default assumption will now be that the food is everyones.
PhDs need to be banned. It is basically bunch of professors who exploit a bunch of graduate students from foreign countries. The professors controls the visa which effectively controls the student. The worst offenders are usually the Foreign professors which is ironic since they should be the ones to realize how harmful it is. A professors tried pull this stunt on me, but he didn't realize I had papers. So got the hell away from his lab.

I'm 100% certain the owner will be eager to just pretend it never happened.
It's true but incomplete. For example:

DDT - May not have been anywhere near as bad as first thought, and replaced in part by these compounds, which themselves are being banned now. Also there's some argument that extensive use of DDT was key to ridding the US of malaria, we banned it worldwide, taking out one of the weapons in mosquito control. One could make an argument that banning DDT has killed people b/c increased incidence of malaria. It's hotly debated, but it's not a bonkers view, and most of those deaths would be in the 3rd world.

Cadmium Paints - Yes and no, artists still say it's not the same, and the replacements in industrial scale aren't always as good on a variety of fronts (https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2018-quest-for-billion-do...). Also not sure they're as affordable.

CFCs (then some HCFCS) - Good thing to ban without a doubt, but replacements are more expensive. The ACs made with the new gasses are more expensive, which has a real human cost: (https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/23/business/23cool.html)

I'm not making an argument for or against this particular ban or any of the bans above. I am making an argument that these bans are not without costs, and will almost certainly come with trade-offs. Some of those trade-offs will be overcome, others are much harder, and the short run will likely have some pain in the form of higher prices.

Lets say for example we got rid of all pesticides/herbicides. Could we generate enough food to feed the world? How much more expensive would staples like rice and wheat become? How much more expensive would high-nutrition fruits and veggies become? It's possible that someday get over it, but it's not good to minimize the practical drawbacks.

I think we've gotten to a point as a society where _any_ risk of something bad is too much risk, so we ban anything that presents risk. But we're left with things where either the risk is unknown, or that are bad in other ways. The average popular discussion of environmental/health risks often neglects to ask, "what might be an acceptable risk", I think sometimes the risk is worth it.
It's true that booby traps are not allowed by the Geneva convention but that convention only applies to conduct in a war. I'm curious what law applies in the US.
> This line of argument is rather asinine - any information can obviously be encoded into a number, prime or otherwise. Given that there are infinite primes and any amount of proscribed information (national security information, child pornography, trade secrets etc) that can be encoded into them, essentially all prime numbers would be deemed "illegal" under that line of argument.

I think its asininity (or whatever) is the point. The idea that information can be illegal leads, I think ineluctably, to the 'illegal primes'; so I think that this is meant as a slightly snarky argument against the idea that information can be illegal.

There's also lots and lots of other factors at play, including other advances in agriculture. Case in point, the Eastern-European village where my parents now live. It is located in the Danubian plain, on one of the most fertile soils of this planet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernozem).

There hadn't been many investments in mechanization up until 5-10 years ago (I'm talking about my parents' village), which meant that the seasonal agricultural works were carried out by 30- or 40-year old communist-era tractors or by actual manual labor by the local people. That meant, for example, that there was usually a time interval of at least a couple of weeks between the land getting plowed and the seeding operation (not a native English speaker, too lazy to search for the exact technical terms). That in turn meant that there was a time window of at least 2-weeks for birds like crows to hunt and eat the insects and mice that the plowed terrain would "reveal" to the open air.

But, as I said, that started to change in the last 5 or so years, when, after some capital-intensive investments, the local farmers started using GPS-equipped state-of-the-art tractors which only leave a day (at most) between when the plowing and the seeding operations happen. So, that means that the crows now only have one day (at most) to hunt and eat for insects and mice, while previously they used to have at least 2 weeks. And the new tractors and combine harvesters are also a lot more efficient, as in they don't leave that much grains on the ground during harvesting (the old communist-era combines were not as efficient) which also means less food for mice and crows, which means less mice and crows, which is bad.

And there are countless other stories like these, all negative when it comes to the ecosystem that surrounds us.
Let's say you have a particular illness that required a particular supplement that could be added to food, if that food is stolen and causes discomfort, that case could be proven in court if you have a diagnosis telling you to add it to your food.

I guess people didn't like that movie. I thought it was great, and a relevant reference.
I always assume these type of "threats" are heavy handed suggestions for unpaid overtime. If you're telling him 2 months, and you assume a 40 hour work week, maybe he expects you'll work 120 weeks and get it done roughly on time? Its also possible that the manager has no idea what the scope of work is, has a different view of the scope of work is than you do, or in extreme\hostile situations thinks you're taking advantage and being lazy ("if only my reports would work harder!"), which also sounds like wanting forced unpaid overtime unless your productivity is unusually low.
A civilian booby trapping their lunch in a non-wartime setting is not a Geneva Conventions violation level of illegal.
This is indeed common practice in journalism (but not science) when retracting a story, but it's not synonymous with "retraction". Indeed, daily newspapers before the internet often "retracted" stories when they clearly couldn't change how many copies were available. This is why the term "unpublish" has been introduced in the age of the internet.
How does crypto currencies solve this if a bad actor gets a hold of your wallet...
Good question. I simply did some googling for comparative efficiency per unit area between PVC and solar thermal -- the 3x factor seemed to come up regularly from different sources. The kWh/m2 was the unit most of those sources were using.

Time of day is very interesting, as PVC's are going to be useful earlier in the day, and solar thermal can still be providing good power output well after sunset. Consequently, in practice, I'd see a combination of both technologies (combined with good storage and grid capabilities, etc) as being most effective way of harnessing sunlight in the short to medium term.

Averaging over a year ... geo / climate variations (eg distance from equator, monsoon cycles, etc) are likely going to affect both technologies similarly.
I hope you do not actaully think that is way things are or the law works because it does not.

In the US the law allows for you to make the case of self defense, it is a defense for violations of the law. I.E. it is always illegal to kill someone, but it is a defense if you kill someone who was trying to kill you..

Things like bobby traps, or poisoning your food against a thief would not be legal under American law. For example I can not setup a series of Automated Gun Turrents in my home to kill anyone that breaks in, but I could (in some states) shoot someone myself if they break in.

In a food theft case as an individual could in fact assault someone possibly even commit battery against someone in order to prevent the from stealing my lunch but I could not say put bobby trap that could cause physical harm to them on the lunch

This is correct, from the snippet given - what the other commentators are failing to say is that they're assuming the registers are initialised "offstage" by some other part of the program.
> There are all sorts of ways you could accidentally eat someone else's lunch

Usually if one is a self-centered jerk who just grabs the first thing that barely looks like their lunch from the fridge and doesn't care much about others.

Or if people just buy similar lunches from the same place and keep all of them on the fridge, confusing similar names/packaging, but yeah, it's usually the 1st case.
I do like the new keyboard too, but I think older was waaay more accurate.

Mine got replaced after one year use (and I got AppleCare immediately after that). Unfortunately after less than a month keys started to get stuck again and I do keep quite good hygiene around my computer.
> We can try applying your narrative to the number 3.14, supposing laws had made finding the circumference of a circle illegal.

> The informational content of 3.14 is say 12 bits and the original AACS key is 128 bits.

3.14 is irrelevant for finding the circumference of a circle (from its radius, I guess you meant); it is π that is relevant for finding the circumference, and (conjecturally) the informational content of π is infinite.

Unlikely, sadly, having got jobs elsewhere before we secured long-term funding. However, it’s not like Dendrite is ownerless - we’ve made good progress on it since they left up until the point we had to temporarily double down on Synapse. Meanwhile, folks from the community who have been hacking on Dendrite are coming on board in the next few weeks. And the old devs are also still around in a FOSS contributor capacity; answering pings via Github and Matrix where needed.

https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/graphs/contributors paints a fairly clear picture of where things have got to (with Synapse temporarily taking priority since Jan).

The writer continued to bring equally spice food and consume it. They let someone else taste it to confirm it was exceptionally spicy, then ate it in front of them without issue.

Unless their plan for revenge started years back when they started slowly building up their tolerance and taste for spicy food, I really don't see how that's even close to the most plausible explanation.

I didn't get poetry until I read the textbook Western Wind. It was a positive impact on my life.
Actually, I started to type "I don't know why a company is willing to pay twice as much for an engineer in Silicon Valley than for one in Houston," but as I was typing that I had an epiphany.

What they're REALLY paying for is knowledge from other companies. A person who has worked at Google and other innovative shops has (hopefully) learned a bunch of great processes, and will (hopefully) implement them at their new workplace.

So an area like the Bay Area is filled with collective knowledge because there are great companies there, and all that talent is jostling around.

Usually people that I've worked with that have this kind of habit also have other habits, like copying open source into commercial code with no regard for license, checking in code under other people's names, flagrantly disturbing massive chunks of code (e.g. checking in whole-repository reformat) without telling anyone, etc.

It's definitely marginal and indicates a kind of thoughtlessness. Firing? Maybe not. But it's not easily forgotten.
It might be precariously positioned, and an unwitting coworker might have the misfortune of opening the refrigerator door only to see your pyrex lunch container fall to the ground and shatter. They clean it up, but are in too much of a rush to make a company-wide announcement of the smashed lunch.

You come back to a missing lunch and become incensed, but start to cool off when given an explanation.
This happens occasionally at my work, and I'm pretty sure it is always accidental - but it is because we get food delivered every day, and a combination of food not being very well labeled, orders getting messed up, and people forgetting what they ordered that day - things get mixed up.

That said, I really can't imagine any situation where it is reasonable if you are talking about people's homemade lunches, in a well labeled lunch box - as is the case in this story.
I mean the whole thing is such a bad business model.
Once I had some roommates who would steal my food from the refrigerator. Several years after I moved out a friend recommended making cat food lasagna as revenge as it wouldn't harm the perps, just be somewhat gross. (Note that I don't recommend this. I am just saying that if catching the perps with food is a goal then there are better options.)
Your comment really resonates with me. I feel the same way towards poetry. I have a background in music so I understand rhythm and I can appreciate good word choice and other poetic devices.

But I don't feel anything from poetry.

I've described it as like being tone-deaf but to poetry. The majority of poems make me feel nothing, and the ones where I do feel something is more because of the story than because it's in the form of a poem. I think that for the poems I do feel an emotional response to, I could experience the same emotional response without the form of the poem as long as the same story was there.

One of the few poems I felt an emotional response towards was Shel Silverstein's "Masks" that I read as a kid. It was a short poem and I think I responded to it because of the story it told, and not necessarily because of the form.

I wonder if you feel similarly. Do you feel something towards poems that tell a compelling story or do you never feel any emotional response to anything written in the form of a poem?

At our office, nobody brings lunch boxes. Our office manager is always ordering snacks for the fridge, and there's leftovers from group lunches.

It would be easy for someone to think some food was leftover from the day before, or that an apple or yogurt was meant for anyone.
There's company paid lunch where the leftovers are put into the fridge for people to take it later before throwing it out. A coworker puts their own food into the fridge without putting their name on it. You take your coworkers food thinking it was leftovers from lunch.
Yes. The basic idea is that you cannot do via a trap what you couldn't do in person, which I think is sensible. If you are not allowed to shoot someone who merely sets foot on your property, then you are also not allowed to rig a shotgun to a tripwire that does the same thing.
How do you propose distributing that opportunity?
