For young people especially, the investment opportunities are an absolute bore. It makes a lot more sense to take big risks when you are young, and by implementing the 'qualified investor' requirements, many young people will never have a chance to invest in the exact companies which interest them the most.

A 25 year old who loses a $10K investment in Myspace, or Digg can easily bounce back. It's well worth the chance of investing early in a company like Snapchat or Facebook which could give them a shot at a 10-100X return.

There's a reason so many people poured money into Bitcoin and crypto. Most of the projects are pointless, but young people have very little interest in earning 5-10% in stocks, since they don't have a ton of capital to invest.

My ISP only killed Usenet a few months ago (reselling Astraweb). I don't think it's degraded - just the purpose has changed. It's just another method of getting high bitrate video and malware from point A to point B, now.
I cheated and looked up some of the facets of that question. As someone that has aphantasia, I'm curious where you are taking that question.

I confess my original answer was to remember that old kids song where you make a steeple with your hands and then flip them to see the people. I then thought that I don't actually know what distinguishes a steeple from a plain roof.
"Babylon 5" was added to Prime, about a month ago. I've been enjoying rewatching it. Yes, the graphics and sets are a bit budget compared to the big studios. (Although, not in all ways.) But the story itself -- a continuous plot encompassing five seasons -- along with the acting, make it first rate, for me.

Also, fundamentally, it's in the "humanist" vein -- something that really appealed to me when it reached its peak in "The Next Generation".

We slow thinkers are among good company, including Charles Darwin:

"I have no great quickness of apprehension or wit which is so remarkable in some clever men, for instance, Huxley. I am therefore a poor critic: a paper or book, when first read, generally excites my admiration, and it is only after considerable reflection that I perceive the weak points. My power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought is very limited; and therefore I could never have succeeded with metaphysics or mathematics. My memory is extensive, yet hazy: it suffices to make me cautious by vaguely telling me that I have observed or read something opposed to the conclusion which I am drawing, or on the other hand in favour of it; and after a time I can generally recollect where to search for my authority. So poor in one sense is my memory, that I have never been able to remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry."

Respectfully disagree.
'normally distributed and biologically driven' is a distinct and non-shallow point of view, as far as I can see not really put forward in any other comment.

Also, 'obvious' is not necessarily as dismissal.
Am I the only one that answers, "how's it going?" With "it goes."?

Because I definitely do that. I'd expect that to be a common idiom in any language. Somewhat surprised to read this exchange seeming to suggest otherwise.
Interesting distinction. I approach comments on the internet more like comments on TV, which you broadcast to the entire world and can reasonably expect everyone to hear and comment on.

Perhaps this is not how most people approach conversations.
Absolutely. And in mathematics, advanced structures and theorems are built up layers by layer upon more elementary material. A professor who has mastered presentation of undergraduate material on a topic also likely teaches a graduate course on it, and mentors students on it, and does research on it.

They can talk about their chosen topic at many levels to many different audiences, from general audience (who may provide funding to them), high school students (outreach and recruiting), university students, and peers. This flexibility is an important part of being a very successful mathematician, and you have to burn it into your brain to reach that level of fluency.
> Once direct connections from PCs became the norm, most people couldn’t be bothered.

I started participating in groups on usenet in the late '90s. There were a substantial number of posters in the groups I lurked in or participated in.

> It could have been saved with a good web interface

From the mid '90s through the late 2000s, most people that I knew didn't look for a web application for everything they wanted to do online. They used various applications like mail and news readers, IRC clients, FTP applications, etc. In other words, they looked for desktop applications. Web applications weren't really a thing at the time.
Where else would you link about Usenet?

This is straight-up untrue. You disable it to install the driver. It's fine after that.
"And the next word we recovered is....another instance of 'happy'. Are we sure the machine is working?"
IMHO, the archive article makes the better point -- that if a subject wants to advance (e.g. economics, biology, psychology) no scientist today should require the primary teaching texts in academia to be the first ever written on the topic, a century or even a millenium ago. But economics and philosophy, and even parts of cognitive science and psychology still do exactly this.

No, a more productive pedagogy should begin with texts written as recently as possible, perhaps to build on early principles but more importantly to add as much to them as possible while revising all errors and omissions.

Today nobody learning biology or medicine begins with Darwin, Galen, or Hippocrates. But economics and philosophy still expect their neophytes to read with care the scrolls of ancient dead white men as if their words had been written on clay tablets by the gods.

Surely that is a point worth reconsidering.

When I was a kid I had a wonderful collection of magazines called "Prehistoric Zoobooks." https://www.google.com/search?q=prehistoric+zoobooks&client=... Each one in the series described an era of life on Earth from the beginning to now, with fantastic illustrations. I used to read them from beginning to end over and over again. I really want to find something similar for my kids ideally with modern reconstructions, but can't find anything comparable. Any recommendations?
Whenever I visit a foreign country for work and my host company provides a car and driver, I always assume that the driver is being paid to listen in on our conversation - either that, or the car is bugged. That may not be the case, but it’s sloppy to have a sensitive business conversation in front of a third party and just assume that he or she can’t understand what you are saying.

Trying to get to some hardcore shows in squats - I've learned a lot about people from hardcore shows.
Basic health care is available in most rural areas without issue. Yes there are some issues with attracting doctors & specialist to live outside major metro areas, but my understanding is that's true in the U.S. as well.

I live a rural area a 3hr drive (including ferry time) from a major city centre, but have a nice public health clinic 15 minutes from my house. Ambulances can reach my home in 8 minutes. We have a quite capable hospital 45 minutes drive away which has air evac capability. Advanced healthcare (eg cancer, cardiac care) is available at regional hospitals, with no-cost transport for care.

I had a heart attack a couple of months ago, and received world-class care including open-heart surgery. During that time of extreme stress for me and my family, not for one minute did I think about the financial consequences other than missing some income while I was unable to work.

I don't think of our medical system as being 'free' - I paid for that care through my taxes and a modest premium (today around $75/month per person - BC is I think the last province to still have user-paid premiums and they're scheduled to be phased out over the next couple of years).

I'm really happy with the value for $ spent. Our health care system costs taxpayers just over $4,000 CAD per person per year. Other figures put the total health care spending (including other services such as dental, chiropractic care, etc) at about $6,000 CAD /person/year. OECD sourced figures put the U.S at about $12,000 CAD /person/year. The statement that universal health care must be more expensive than a privately administered system ("money would be stuffed into an inefficient system") is simply a myth.

Again, it seems like your comments are nothing but fear-mongering. Perhaps you honestly believe them. Please consider that you might be simply repeating the arguments you've been given by those with a vested interest in keeping the U.S. system as it is now in place.

To be fair: our Canadian system isn't perfect. Some people fall through the cracks. Some people fight with their insurer (the government) about coverage for rare chronic conditions. Not everyone is completely happy with the system or the treatment they receive. I'm pretty certain that those same statements can be made of any health care system in the world. But for the vast majority of our citizens, including those like me that live in fairly rural areas, it functions pretty well.

Another thing people are missing in the misguided comparison to "civil engineering" is that programming is several orders of magnitudes more complex than building bridges. It's much harder to design fault-tolerance, and your routine can completely blow up due to subtle bugs like the above.

Woah. That's just scary. Also: didn't know about the whole "life-cycle" thing before, is such re-use and re-termination of workers common in this industry?

I often say that telemarketing should be considered a less honourable occupation than prostitution (in the latter case, you have two people voluntarily exchanging value; in the former case, you have one person trying to scam the other). Now I'm beginning to suspect it also has worse working conditions.

Auto cars can also drive away from expensive parking when not in use. Lots of Uber drivers live in Sacramento but work in SF 80 miles away.

Maybe if interest rates go up capital costs will be an issue, but using a 100k car paying 4% interest is $4000 a year or about $0.50 per hour. When not moving there is basically no wear and tear or fuel costs. Almost nothing compared to paying a driver.

I'm surprised you thought this thing had more bugs than Garmin. My Garmin randomly inserts week-long periods of time into my bike rides, and I'm not the only one: there is an entire site dedicated to un-ruining your Garmin .fit files at https://www.fitfiletools.com/ . The way a Garmin suspends and resumes your ride takes more time as your ride gets longer. At the last rest stop on a 200-mile ride my Garmin spent about 2 minutes just resuming. And you mention that the wahoo gives cues after turns, but my Garmin does that and worse. Garmin gives cues on mountain roads where there's no choice, and fails to give them at the intersection of two roads where you do need to make a choice!
I'm the opposite. I'm a fast thinker, with a bad memory, just like a computer with a strong CPU and limited RAM.

That's interesting. I tested on the autistic side with this question, which I'm inclined to agree with. Again only one anecdote though. I wonder how accurate this question actually is. I'd love to test it against my wife, but her English is not perfect, so I'm not sure whether or not she knows what that noun is. I wonder if you could replace that noun with any other generic noun that is more recognizable to non-native English speakers without affecting the identification mechanism, however it may work. If I have to define the noun for her, I wonder if it would affect the result.

> The decision to publish is made by the publisher, and that's what people care about.

I'm saying that it isn't. Modulo weird edge cases, the publisher delegates that decision to reviewers. If they choose to reject a paper, then it gets rejected.

Unless I'm really mistaken about how things work. My only first-hand experience is in PL, a field in which we publish in conferences rather than journals. I've sat in on a PC meeting where the decision to accept or reject papers was made. In cases where the reviews were clear, the paper was accepted or rejected without fanfare. For borderline papers, the decision was made through discussion among the reviewers who had reviewed that paper and the PC. I don't think the PC members were paid for it. The reviewers certainly weren't.

> Nobody cares what they think.

I care what they think. It would be really interesting and informative to have a system where paper reviews were public.

EDIT: What's your experience with publishers? Do you know more than I do?

"DNI" isn't exactly a secret acronym for Director of National intelligence; if you enter the acronym into a news search engine you'd see it's commonly used in news articles. Also the website is literally DNI.gov.

I'd agree the North Korea thing is weird, but maybe she was just making conversation and dug herself into a hole. Plenty of Uber drivers have also told me vague stories about times they visited Country X long ago (many of which I thought didn't check out, but smiled and nodded anyway) just to keep the conversation going.

Certainly it is a possibility that the Uber gig could be some sort of cover, but I think it's unlikely.

Dimensional analysis is one of my favorite subjects. Unfortunately the more advanced results from it are rarely taught outside of fluid dynamics classes, e.g.:

The pi theorem is one of the most useful results in my work as a theoretical fluid dynamicist. The (modest) dimensionality reduction it offers seems unbelievable at first.

No more so than 'pick a random point in a circle'. Note in all cases we're talking the uniform distribution. The question of using Cartesian coordinates, parametric coordinates, etc. is what causes the differences.
