I see your point, but most overdoses are likely due to imperfect dosage information (excluding suicide, obviously).

I think there may be some argument for legalisation but with medically-supervised consumption in pharmacies or specialised clinics.

Overdoses could (excepting human error) be removed entirely with improved dosage calculations from experienced healthcare staff.

Why are they using an off the shelf secure communication system from the Middle East? Surely something this important is a national secret and should be developed in house with your best minds.

If it's off the shelf and others are using, then they can just buy the equipment and look for flaws (like this massive one).

Hi Mitra,

Great initiative. But even I don't understand the use of this name as Branding. As ideally "Buttermilk" is a Drink consumed throughout India, and ironically your company is not selling it. :-).

Also its a name of the Drink and you are selling ready to eat food items which also make this name a little inappropriate, as for any Indian it gives the impression of Drink selling site rather than Food selling site. (Even i was not planning to look at it, if I have not read the comments).

Anyways all the best and have a great success.

Is there any way to get this backported to Windows 7 - or run a W7 userland on top of a W10 kernel?

I think the disconnect here is on what imaginary means in this sentence.

Most people in this thread see it as real physical pain conjured up by one's imagination - so things like psychosomatic pain, pain caused by mental illness, pain caused by fears, etc. So think of someone getting dizzy from their fear of heights, or a hoarder doubled over retching because someone is throwing away parts of their hoard.

Whereas you in essence think that it's an oxymoron - if it's real pain, it by definition can't be imaginary. So it's just a thought exercise or a theatrical performance.

So maybe the sentence would be less bullshitty if it read "irrational pain" or something like that.

But as most people read "imaginary pain" as "real pain felt, without reason" instead of "fake pain you're just imagining about", I think your reading of "imaginary" is too parsimonious.

It's probably easier to set up your mattress/pillow to let you sleep comfortably on your side.

Apparently there is a pillow you can get which is shaped to curve up on the sides, making it uncomfortable to turn over to your side when sleeping. I've heard several people claim that it helped them "train" themselves to sleep on their backs; some even made their own makeshift barriers on the sides of their normal pillow to discourage flipping over.

I don't have such a pillow yet, but I also noticed folding my arms under my head (in a way where my right hand loosely grips my left shoulder and vice versa) creates a comfortable "nook" for my head when on my back. However while this position is comfortable for me, your arms do want to move after a while so it's not really practical to stay in that position for the entire night.

I've also heard it suggested that putting a long pillow or a foam tube of some kind covered with a blanket under your knees at night makes the position of lying on your back more comfortable. The idea is basically to raise your knees slightly instead of lying dead straight on the bed. That does indeed seem to be more comfortable for me, so I'm in the market for such a large firm pillow myself now.
That's somehow like saying: the guy in the store that sold the weapon is solely responsible for a killing with the same gun.

> I never said anything about an alternative to wavefunctions

Unless you're denying that physical reality exists at all, to suggest that the wavefunction isn't physical reality is implicitly to suggest that something else is.

> He wasn't talking about a hidden variable theory, just about how to interpret the wavefunction, holding all theoretical elements constant: does it model our knowledge of physical states, or the physical states themselves.

If you're assuming there are "physical states themselves" that the wavefunction is merely our knowledge of, that's practically the definition of a hidden variable theory.

> The first one is simpler because we already know we are observing the physical states through an intermediary and that our knowledge is limited; the second one introduces a new capability to the universe.

Nonsense. Observation is an ordinary physical process that happens inside the universe; anything that "observing" can do must already be something the universe is capable of.

>Amazon is not a monopoly

That article just describes Amazon as not a monopoly in retail as a whole in the U.S.

The issues here are that Amazon's film business includes them being studio, streamer, retailer and now maybe cinema owner. They also manufacture player hardware which you may need to access their service.

I wanted to watch an Amazon series, but their app wasn't available on my streaming box (and I doubt any technical justfication for this), so I had to buy an Amazon Fire stick, but that was OK because I could use it to watch YouTube as well. Except once Amazon had me, they removed the Google devices from Amazon, and Google retaliated by removing YouTube from fire. This starts to feel a lot like anti-competive behaviour. It reminds me of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Patents_Compa...
In certain sectors of retail Amazon certainly do have much higher market share than the cited article suggests, like computer equipment for instance, although I don't have figures to hand.

My biggest concern is around the Amazon marketplace. By controlling the marketplace and being a seller into the marketplace Amazon can monitor an independents sales on a per-product basis. And once they see you doing well selling widget x, they can get widget x built in China and sell it directly and for less, thereby squeezing you out of the market. For lots of smaller distributers Amazon is their biggest channel.

So when you say Amazon is not a Monopoly, that is an opinion and one I disagree with.

That is wrong. The only reason nuclear is expensive is because low volume production and build.

In fact, the money needed for waste storage has long been accumulate by a fee in the US and is literally on the bank account of the government .

There is already enough money to build a facility.

The problem is all political.

> At this point it makes more sense to invest in solar, wind power and energy storage capacity to reduce CO2 emissions.

No its actually not. Countries that try to reduce CO2 with these methods are pretty slow and struggle heavily. Even worse, the larger part of your overall grid depends on these the more difficult it sill be to balance the grid.

Furthermore, any sustained drop-down in one of these can shut down part of the country.

Why do we keep claiming that climate change is a existential problem but then we are like 'we can't do the easy solution because nuclear waste is slightly problematic'. Guess what, I much rather deal with nuclear waste in 100 years then with the result of climate change.

France showed the world 50 years ago that it is a pretty easy thing to have low CO2 electricity and had other countries adopted this, we would be in a better situation.

Germany is the perfect example, had they done their 'Energiewende' towards nuclear they would be closing their goals by now.
Having cash on hand as an investment company is not prima facie evidence of cluelessness, IMO. Mr Buffet is famously patient and selective about what Berkshire invests in. If he believes that overall assets are inflated beyond reason and that too much other money is sloshing around chasing companies, it’s entirely reasonable to wait on the sidelines until a moment when his capital is properly valued.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance.

It is however a reasonable predictor of future performance, IMO.
TLS 1.3 Is an Opportunity for Amazon, Google and Microsoft to End Censorship
I used to snore so bad that no position was helping. I've had surgery of soft palate and nasal septum and now even I want to try make sound of snoring, I'm unable to. If I'm snoring now, it's not due to mechanical parts of my mouth but the liquid produced by nose due to allergy. Yesterday night I found that that liquid is going back to my throat and my nose stays clean. The only problem is that I can't sleep on my back.

And there is third factor which makes people snore - overweight.
I don't think it's because of the complexity. I'm quite sure it would not have been difficult to do.

One of the reason is that you don't always want to check the error. The most common one is fmt.Println.

I would not like to always write

_, _ = fmt.Println("Hello, playground")
and that would have a very nebulous gain.

You've stumbled upon another capitalist dogma: that if you can't measure it (like, for instance in this case, the happiness of your road users), it has no value. I would argue that his numbers show that his efforts have prevented 600 fits of rage among the citizenry. That's gotta be worth something, right?

Can you imagine [spending money] because it’ll make [people] happier?

Again, government is not a business and should not be run as one. So yes, I can.

But in terms of information flow, the difference would be quite huge...

____

My review: The authors provide a condensed summary of all central topics in machine learning. Topics include ML basics, ML theory, optimization algorithms, but also a detailed introduction to modern methods deep learning methods. Code examples and tutorials are provided as jupyter notebooks for each chapter [2]. The book uses three datasets (MNIST digit recognition, SUSY physics data, and simulated Nearest Neighbor Ising Model) as running examples throughout the book to help learners understand what different ML techniques can bring when analyzing the same problems from different perspectives.

The book has a high bias (since written from physics perspective), but low variance since assuming physics background allows authors to write a very focussed narrative that gets to the point, and communicates three-books-worth of information in 100 pages. This is somewhat of a repeat of the general physics-ML-explanations-for-the-win pattern established in Bishop's `Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning`.

The authors are wrong to label this book as useful only to people with a physics background, and in fact it will be useful for everyone who wants to learn modern ML. An estimator with high-bias but high efficiency is always useful.

Unicode code point space: Was 16-bit (0000 to FFFF), then 32-bit (00000000 to FFFFFFFF), and is now 21-bit (00000000 to 0010FFFF)

UTF-16: Encodes the entire 21-bit range, encoding most of the first 0000 to FFFF range as-is, and using surrogate pairs in that range to encode 00010000 to 0010FFFF. The latter range is shifted to 00000000 to 000FFFFF before encoding, which can be encoded in the 20 bits that surrogate pairs provide. This is a subtlety that one likely does not appreciate if one learns UTF-8 first and expects UTF-16 to be like it.

UTF-8: Could originally encode 00000000 to 7FFFFFFF, but since the limitation to just the first 17 planes a lot of UTF-8 codecs in the real world actually no longer contain the code for handling the longer sequences. Witness things like the UTF-8 codec in MySQL, whose 32-bit support conditional compilation switch is mentioned at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17311048 .
With a different business model this could have been a game-changing product. Opportunity missed.
The problem with nuclear waste is exaggerated. It can be safely stored in warehouses, there's no need to bury it. The fuel rods are solid, so there's no risk of leakage. Dry cask storage containers are made of steel and concrete, they stop all the radiation and can withstand plane crashes and earthquakes. You can't steal the fuel, it's too heavy to load it on a truck, and even if you found a suitable vehicle, you need to convoy it when they're shooting at you…

Our current solutions to short-term storage are perfectly adequate long-term solutions. And we don't even need to store it that long, because soon we'll need it to produce fuel for next generation reactors.

The real problem with nuclear waste management are impossible and unnecessary safety requirements.

The cost of waste management is already included in the cost of nuclear energy. The cost of energy storage is not included in the cost of renewables, thus they may appear as cheaper, and indeed they are – for now – because we currently don't need energy storage. But as the renewables penetration rises, the cost of energy storage will skyrocket: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/611683/the-25-trillion-re...

I frequently hear this argument, and my first reaction was to agree with this. However I don't think that creating a flexible grid that can handle the erratic generation and consumption of power is as easy as it sounds. My gut feeling is that the devil is in the details, and it may take much longer than non-experts think (most of who I presume think that simply slapping energy storages to a system with varying input-output rates solves everything). Unfortunately I'm not an expert in this field, and I'm not even sure what the field of engineering is called that deals with large energy grids.
