It’s a consistent phenomenon with people. As soon as someone finds out that it’s socially acceptable to behave badly towards some group, many otherwise nice people have no problem being absolutely terrible towards complete strangers.

A relatively recent example is the “it’s OK to punch nazis” meme, but there are many others. (If you haven’t heard about this, it’s the idea that it’s perfectly good and admirable to walk up to people and physically assault them merely because of their stated horrific political opinions.)

It’s difficult to even talk about this, because the backlash is so strong. If someone is against punching nazis (for instance), are they defending nazis? Are they also then, by extension, a nazi, and deserving to be punched? As soon as there is an actual “Other” group which is unprotected by social norms, any discussion is almost pointless.
They're the best couple ever
The higher standard of both partners should apply, and should be held-up by the partner that stays at home. If they don't match there's something wrong.

E.g. if you want fresh warm food for dinner and your wife just always buys microwave food because she doens't like to cook, then you got the wrong wife (resp. she got the wrong husband).

Or if your are a slob and mess up the house, and your wife nags you to clean up after yourself because she cares about having a clean home. Then she got the wrong husband and vice versa.
Their code is here: https://github.com/cognibit/Text-Normalization-Demo

Official DeepMind DNC code is here: https://github.com/deepmind/dnc

They use "an unmodified version
of the architecture as specified in the original paper", and it looks like they copy & pasted the core code.

This paper lacks some further explanation. Why do they use XGBoost for predicting whether some word is to be normalized? And why do they use DNC for the seq2seq model? I think a single shared model for both tasks might be a cleaner solution. E.g. an encoder which with output layer for the prediction and also this encoder is fed to the decoder. The motivation for DNC is also not too clear, although I can guess that they think this is too hard for a LSTM. But for DNC, to get the advantages out of it, it should support some time for doing internal calculations, which you could get by introducing internal computation steps. They don't do that. Also, in their results section, they do not compare to any other model, so it it not clear whether XGBoost is the best choice, and also not whether the DNC really helps here.
If he lied about the experiment and results... It's a lie. Pretty simple.

Not needed. Once we can determine the starting composition of the universe, and have enough quantum computing power, we'll be able to simulate the past... and the future too. So you can see what your home looked like in the past and what it'll look like in the future.
The article goes over several. Off the top of my head: the supposed mental breakdown of Korpi (he was faking it), Zimbardo claiming he wasn't politically motivated, Zimbardo claiming the students were free to leave at any time, Zimbardo lying or misleading as to what degree the 'guards' had been coached (specifically with regard to the role of Jaffe.) Details about each of these are available in the article.
New Habit: Learn something daily
- Learning French: I finished Duolingo app's course, now experimenting with plugins and more apps to learn French.
- Learning Ukulele: I picked it some 6 months back. Still, a long way to go.
Benefit:
1)When I encounter something difficult to learn, I panic less. I understand the incremental process and the highs and lows of learning a new skill/concept.
2)The fun of learning, knowing things.

New Habit: Read books of domain/genre which I used to avoid
Benefit: 1) Interleaving of concepts, I cannot guarantee this happens. Found new ideas which can be used in my work line. For instance, a book on psychology can help you pitch your product better to consumers.
> when they think they deserve it or otherwise aren't deserving of basic respect or equality

... or when they are told to do so, told what bad things to do (which you even relate yourself) and given a schedule of bad actions to take, and moreover told that what they are doing was a positive good, in this case the advancement of education of all students, and just a scientific experiment. Missing these parts out is what is being discussed both in the headlined article and in other parts of this very discussion.

The acceptance here is in fact the uncritical acceptance that such experiments are valid, constructive, and not biased by forcing a particular desired outcome in order to support some agenda, or by ignoring an uncontrolled external factor that skews the results. Whereas one should have questioned what your social studies teacher was trying to demonstrate, and whether the experiment was correctly fashioned for demonstrating it in the first place.

It is time to re-visit what was drilled into you in middle school, more critically.

This is completely incorrect, and that Wiki page has been written to be highly misleading to lead people to the same mistaken comparison as they're comparing entirely different numbers that look directly comparable.

What that says is that e.g. 69% of scientists working in physics and engineering had failed to replicate some experiment at least once in their career. In other words if they performed 1000 replication attempts of other scientists' experiments and failed to reproduce the same results once, they would be counted in that survey. By contrast in psychology, one hallmark experiment tried to replicate the findings of 100 key studies in psychology from highly regarded psychology journals. And it was unable to replicate the findings of 64% of the studies. What's that number for physics? No idea other than that it's going to be much lower.

Make sense? Wiki is, almost as a rule, just completely awful for contemporary or potentially controversial topics and this is a textbook example of that.

If the government / bank decides to freeze your assets, you could lose (temporary or permanently) everything. And there have been precedents in my country where the government abused this power.

If you're living from your salary like most people, it'll be frozen before you can withdraw it for cash. And keeping some savings in cash is not really related to whether you go cashless for daily life, so it's not really a counterargument.

It’s probably a case of finally having a complete chain from detection to action for smaller non-aircraft crossings. There have already been government cameras in place along the smuggling routes, and you can even watch some amateur hidden footage on YouTube, for example https://youtu.be/dj_4SH_LRSI . There’s also those odd observation airships (TARS aerostats) along the border. The smugglers know they’re being observed, they just counted on low enforcement on ground crossings.

With this system it sounds like law enforcement has the ability and motivation to immediately respond to detection, something that wasn’t there until recently. It also means that as much as the smugglers can try to defeat it, a motivated and well-equipped government has the potential to stay a step ahead (see Israel for an example of this). If this tech works as advertised it might make a pretty big dent, but that’s a pretty big “if”.

Hmm, an adequate explanation, but why in the world is someone making a public library out of that, and furthermore, why in the world are people using this library? The library has been downloaded 2300 times in the past year!

I have nothing against bad developers—we all started there—but there is something seriously wrong with the JavaScript ecosystem and the barrier of entry for pushing your code into other people's projects through libraries.

My comment was merely about the finances. One may also find such an arrangement more workable with working 2 days a week at home, or stay overnight frequently in SF.
With the appearance of the "duck curve", utility providers and customers are going have to reckon with the fact that a kWh of solar electricity at the noon hour is not worth the same as a kWh of solar electricity at 5pm.

Yes but most people don't need an entire Vendor ID, but that's the minimum you can buy. They even banned vendors from selling individual product IDs.

You're right on both counts.

I don't really use mayo, I prefer vinaigrette dressings. I was just using mayo as an example though, if you make mayonnaise yourself, it's just oil, egg yolk, and vinegar. There shouldn't be sugar in mayo.

On the second count, you're right that you don't need to be extremely strict. I went sugar-free for a month because I made a bet with a friend, rather than for any actual health reason. A small amount of sugar is fine for you.

The problem is that practically every shelf stable packaged food contains added sugar. If you have a diet that consists of a lot of packaged food, the sugar starts to add up quickly, especially if you're in a habit of using ketchup, which is astoundingly high in sugar. Granola bars (and granola in general) are also a food that people seem to forget contain a boatload of sugar too.
The ratio of income is important in another way. Many apartments (in the Los Angeles area at least) want or require tenants to only spend X% of their gross income on rent. Places with $750k/year rent probably don't care, but for the median working American it matters a lot.
No, the aggregate isn't important: the thought experiment is the same as if everybody earned $251k and spend $1k on rent -- but the percentage of income spend on rent would be radically different. But yes, if everybody suddenly had $250k disposable income, prices would be higher.

I think the point GP is trying to make, is that it matters more if you can afford in absolute dollars to have a family on whatever is left when you're done paying rent, not what the percentage is.
Faith is cool. But it needs to flow both ways. If you have faith in the person, make them a co-founder and give correspondingly respectable equity.

Yes you can. On Mac you can use userspace USB drivers by default so you can use any other method to identify your device. On Windows you can use WCID to get it to automatically install WinUSB (Windows' userspace USB driver) irrespective of the product / vendor ID. On Linux I believe you just have to set up some udev rule and then you can use libusb.

Once you have userspace access there's basically no downside to squatting. The only minor one is if you happen to squat on an ID that also happens to have a kernel driver. But just pick a long defunct vendor and that's pretty damn unlikely.

Perhaps a better way of phrasing it would be "We're above the carrying capacity of Earth for Rich Americans".

Keep in mind that there are different levels of 'from scratch.' Making your own sandwich is pretty normal. Making your own bread for your sandwich but with store-bought mayo is probably less common. Making your own bread and making your own mayo is probably even less common, and that was about the level of 'from scratch' that the other user is talking about.
I'm sure it could, but this looks like it's meant as a zbrush-like, which is used to make actual 3D models (or a normal bake) for production/concept.

I don't think most artist in a studio would be happy with a tablet interface, except maybe if it's a Cintiq.

Joking aside. A life partner, children, or an impending bankruptcy can all be constant, strong motivators.
Part of the problem is that in moderation, it's fine. I experienced this personally during a time of extreme weight loss; about 1/4 to 1/3 of my diet was chocolate in the form of boxes of candy bars I bought on clearance. The rest was greens, massive amounts of spinach, and nuts.

I went to the hospital later that year with a kidney stone, and was told: Stop eating the spinach and cut back on nuts, these foods are way too high in oxalates! Other than that I was healthy as a horse, with a resting pulse of 40 bpm and having lost 100 lbs.

I'm an anecdote, but many people look and feel OK and eat tons of refined sugar. That's part of the reason it's still around. We like it and show no ill effects.

No its not alright. The idea of science is that things are reproducible and that scientists at least try to be honest about what, why and how they do their experiments. You say that scientists might as well just stop doing anything and just write fake reports. It's all the same after all!
'We’ve long known that processed sugar is bad for kids.' Why 'for kids'? It's bad for everyone. People don't realize sugar is the most socially accepted and legal drug ever and with more addicts I would say.

There's plenty of studies that talk about how bad are added sugars. Governments don't do enough to contain this drug.

WHO recommends free sugars to be less than 10% of daily calorie intake. And suggests going down to 5%. Source: http://www.who.int/nutrition/publications/guidelines/sugar_i...
An adult that takes 2000 calories, should not take more than 25g of free sugars. Now tell me if it's easy for you to not go over the limit.

Kids and todlers food has more sugar than adult processed food, maybe so they create a dependency on sugary products since they are babies? And so they buy these products when they are older.

We've all seen kids asking cookies and shitty food instead of vegetables (or unprocessed food), they get angry and parents have to say 'no, you've to have lunch now'. Isn't that strange? We are so used to this.

Food is not only calories. Quality of ingredients matter. Plenty of studies relate refined oils, flours, sugars to cancer, diabetes, heart problems. Cheap, easy to get != healthy. It's cheap and unhealthy because ingredients are low quality.

Was processed food in supermarkets a hundred years ago? Humans don't need it. Of course food is safer than 100 years ago, but also processed food has pulled apart healthy and unprocessed food from our diets.

Nestle, Coca-Cola, Unilever, they are in universities, associations, etc... we see plenty of cases here in Spain. They do courses for professionals... and they are the brands with the best public perception. And we say advertising doesn't work?

So many inputs when you go to a supermarket and so easy to fall for a chocolate bar, for some cereals, sweetened yogurts, refined flours white breads... Then, they try to sell you some (supposedly healthy) food because it has some part of bio unrefined flours, but it's the same disguised as healthy.

To avoid all these games they play you just have to look for vegetables, fish, (some) meat, dairy products, eggs, fruits, dried fruits... just unprocessed food or foods like canned peas and other minimal treated foods were a physical process like boiling has been applied.

Did you read the article, in full? Carefully, and with a scientific mind? There are several points where the author refers to selective editing, critical facts left out, of documentaries and news reports, in order to support the false narrative. If you watch the documentary, you will see what its authors want you to see; that's not necessarily the same as the truth.

As a thought experiment, imagine that you could rent a million dollar house for 1$/year. Then renting is obviously the smart thing to do. So rental yields are an important factor, as are your expectations of house price growth, opportunity costs etc.

But if rental yields are low (as they are now) and you do not expect house prices to rise at a fast rate in the future, renting can easily be the smart choice.

Regarding future house price increases. It seems to me that house prices can be approximated as a function of rents, interest rates (determining required return on owning a house), and anticipated growth in house prices (which again can be decomposed into growth in rents, reduction in interest rates and 'irrational' growth).
Using London as an example. Rental yields appear to be around 3.5% in London at the moment, which suggests to me that a good deal of anticipated growth is priced in. But where can that growth come from? Rents are a function of incomes and are unlikely to outpace inflation. Interest rates seem to be more likely to go up than down. So it seems that house prices are unlikely to rise, and once that is realized by the market, prices may even come down as participants stop anticipating growth just because "London house prices always go up".

House prices going up faster than rents in recent decades can probably be explained by interest rates being in a downward trend over the same decades. Now we seem to be in at least somewhat of a bubble due to irrational future growth expectations.

Unfortunately diabetes is not <only> caused by sugar. If you are overweight you regular insulin uptake is lowered so your body needs to produce more. No matter what the cause is (hormonal, fat, sugar).

Fat (not necessarily the stuff you consume but the build up in your body) has regulatory properties for your insulin uptake and thus levels which generally result in more fat == more production needed which will give a more quick rise to diabetes type 2 due to a runaway competition.

In my experience, totally anecdotal, (I have type 1 diabetes since I was about 5): If I gain weight the amount of insulin required by injection is significantly more than what is to be expected by the simple weight gain (e.g. more stuff == more required to control it, you'd expect some linear correlation).
