I'm in the same boat as you. I do these long trips, and also have multiple laptops and lots of camera equipment. I use a backpack for my carry-on, because that is less likely to be checked/gate checked, but even that is a problem because now airlines reduced the weight limit of carry on items and started aggressively enforcing this. There is simply no way my photo equipment will weigh less than 8kg. Impossible.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

I would gladly pay money if they allowed me the usual old 23kg standard.
Until the development of modern firearms, the nomads won pretty consistently any time they could get their ducks in line and stop infighting. Mobility and being able to almost totally mobilize the fighting age population let them punch well above their weight.
That's not really what I meant. What I meant was, you seem to act as if enforcement of this policy would require a lot of logistical work on the part of the airline to ensure that the passenger wasn't separated from their bags, or that they were compensated for whatever they had to ditch due to security. However, that is not actually the policy or law they have to follow, and they are free to do arbitrary things. This makes enforcement much easier.

Whether or not that is "sane" or "right" or "wrong" isn't material to my counter-point.
We don’t have a great way of knowing the optimal c-section rate. But plotting national c-section rates against perinatal outcomes (an obviously imperfect approach) shows that increasing c-section rates are associated with significantly better outcomes until about 20% after which there is no real effect one way or another.

I’m not sure why it would be “horrifying” what kind of birth a hospital labels natural. It’s all bullshit anyway. No births in a hospital are like births in nature, which is why so many more babies survive the experience these days.
What do you mean by "put to rest"?

Do you mean we should switch to using another theory, which reproduces all existing results, also correctly predicts some currently-unexplained observation or experiment, and has also correctly predicted previously-unobserved results (i.e. isn't just a "fudge factor")? If so, I would love to know what that theory is, since I certainly didn't encounter any such thing in the dark matter module of my masters degree (the options were basically MOND or (various possible forms of) dark matter, and the former is certainly much more of a "fudge factor").

If by "put to rest" you mean we just throw away our current theories without having a better replacement, then I don't even understand what that would mean. Would we ground all rocket launches since we don't completely understand gravity?
> How a baby is delivered is none of anyone's business but the mother herself.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Caesarian's costs the NHS around £1,700 a time compared with £750, for a normal childbirth and women also stay in hospital for twice as long on average. There is a general presumption in the UK that avoiding what is an invasive operation is preferable for both baby and mother alike, in the absence of other factors.

I would argue that clearly How a baby is delivered is other people's business since other people are involved. However the ultimate choice should be the mother's.

Seconding the question by @maccard. You're eventually charged a certain amount during payment so in principle it is possible.
Okay, let's try to reformulate. What is the average density of dark matter in places we know there is dark matter? Then, assuming here were dark matter with that density in earth, how much that would be?

I am just trying trying to get my head around how sparse the dark matter actually is, wherever it actually exists. Would we have one kilogram of dark matter to observe?

Damn. Should have googled in the first place. Here is an estimate of dark matter density in solar system:

http://cdms.berkeley.edu/Education/DMpages/FAQ/question36.ht...

6x10^-28 kg/cm3

Volume of earth is around 10^27 cm3 so that makes the dark matter mass within earth around 600 grams. Admittably that is a bit difficult to measure...

But why does the article go out of its way to say the white male leadership is interested in the escapist, scifi, entertainment aspect of AR, and makes a special point of the nonwhite nonmale manager being the one actually coming up with compelling usecases?

It seems like a cheap grab for article attention, piggy backing on the current political climate, and not a genuine analysis on why ML is failing to come up with inventive AR usecases. It cheapens the point the article could have made, but fails to explore at all: Diversity is needed to develop a product that appeals to everyone.
Yes. And there was one bigot who decided to downvote just because different answer was given than his own.
His phone must not have been that far away? Any thoughts on how he may have set this up?
The missing 5/6ths of the universe is within the other five vibrational dimensions (one of which houses anti-matter) that do not directly interact with the energy and matter of our layer of the onion in normal conditions. At high enough energies, we get brief crossover and can thus detect particles such as antielectrons, but they quickly revert to their own dimension. IIRC, I believe Paul Dirac mentioned this as a possibility but was quickly ignored. (It may have been another physicist of his time.)

While not directly interacting with our layer, it does somehow contribute to the totality of gravitational attraction. How? I haven't a clue.

And, while we're here, dark energy is simply the added intrinsic energy that keeps the universe from collapsing back in upon itself, for the simple reason that creation is intended to exist as more than a point particle.

I know this will get downvoted to oblivion so I will add that our soul inhabits one of those other layers of the onion yet is trapped within our physical body while we are conscious. Because of our remedial-level of spiritual development (we are still stuck in mammalian competition with human cooperation being our potential), we are not capable of consciously exploring the universe with our soul, and because we do not understand our own human structure, we are not open to comprehending the structure of the universe in all its majesty.

The most important point we fail to understand is that we are designed to interact with the information matrix we exist within and can query it directly once we reach a certain level of spiritual development, but one must first admit to our human nature to begin that journey of becoming intimate with our Unfathomable Creator and this magnificent, mysterious creation.

The Way goes in.
-- Rumi
Moreover, locally, it is expected to be approximately uniform in density, which makes any gravitational interaction negligible.

Nevertheless, our gravitational experiments can say things about the properties of dark matter (it generally obeys the Equivalence Principle): https://arxiv.org/abs/1207.2442

Furthermore, for certain classes of ultra-light dark matter, gravitational and spin-coupled searches can have something to say, e.g.: https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.06165

We're trying.

> What I find interesting in your last paragraph is that you, yourself, seem to make the distinction between reality and mathematics, which would indicate, at least to me, that you recognise that it is but a tool created for a use and not something that had a pre-existence that we could discover.

No, I continue to express uncertainty and doubt concerning the origin of math. If math is the ground for some people, math does not have an origin. Math is the origin.

I understand that may be a very difficult paradigm to think with if you are not used to thinking in that framework, but I am like that. Math, ground. Reality is defined by math. We may be incorrect in the translation, but that's a work in progress. Math that comes from reality is math that is incomplete.

I can't give you a question that yields a satisfactory answer until it does.
Ironically this is cutting into airline revenue as gate time increases. Southwest makes it a point to reduce time at the gate as much as possible by herding people onto the plane in a stampede, and part of that is making sure what put their bags below the plane by offering two checked bags free. Market forces will eventually balance this out for the the other airlines since SW intentionally tries to avoid routes served by other major airlines
Modern high efficiency airliner jets have very large fan blades on the front of the jet. Here's an info sheet on the engine https://www.rolls-royce.com/~/media/Files/R/Rolls-Royce/docu...

Also mentioned the efficiency comes partly from being able to run the combustion at 2000K which would melt metal parts but they handle it with a ceramic coating. That's been a bit of a limit on jets - if you crank them too high the middle bits melt.
"white male" isn't a culture. I don't know if you're aware, but not every white male is the same, they come from diverse backgrounds just like every other race and gender.
> each exposure elicits an acute stress response

I experienced this quite viscerally in my last job, where I had roughly a 40 minute commute in heavy traffic each way. On the surface, it sounds like nothing, but I feared for my safety every time and it worsened with each passing month.

There were several reasons I left the job, but this was at least 30% of it and I can tell you it significantly improved my mental health. For a while I had anxiety every time I had to drive, and it started well before I ever got in the car. A couple years later, I was able to handle several very long road trips and even did a stint as a rideshare driver with almost no issues-- the anxiety is pretty much gone now, it was nearly all due to that commute.

C section saved the life of my child. I do not care if there is an "epidemic" (what a heck does it mean in a context of a surgical procedure at all???).
I was about to post something similar. Before you act on the urge to go pontificating about how the scientists have clearly got it wrong for this reason or that reason, ask yourself - do you really think they haven't thought of that? Don't you think that, if there is mileage in your idea, there would certainly be scientists pushing it?

Addendum: Science (and more generally, specialization) requires that we trust that that the experts in the areas outside of our own chosen fields do in fact know what they are doing. It's become less fashionable to do so lately (one politician in the UK famously said a few years back that "the people of this country have had enough of experts"), but that is to our cost - the extreme end of this is flat-earth conspiracy.

There are worse places to take off/land. Midway (MDW) has very little distance from the runway to houses and highway. Princess Juliana International Airport on Sint Maarten (SXM) has very little distance from the end of the runway to the ocean. Gibraltar International Airport (GIB) is also basically on the water.

Overrunning the runway is often considered avoidable from my limited understanding. Planes are flight worthy under _a lot_ of issues. Even single engine failure or engine fire after V1 (the speed at which you can't abort/reject takeoff without overrunning the runway) isn't cause to abort/reject takeoff.

With landing, the plane needs to touch down early enough and at the correct speed to stay on the runway.

Overrunning the runway is never considered a "good" thing. Rejected takeoffs that shouldn't have been and bad landings are often causes of death. They're expected to not happen.

Demoscene competitions.

Check tutorials for 64 KB, 4 KB and such.

Think of 140 characters as trying to do 140 byte executables.

The basic idea is to first create whatever you want to achieve, without thinking too much about the size.

Then you iterate the algorithm, reducing the size until it achieves the desired goal.

In the process it helps to make use of typical demoscene technics, namely packers/minifiers, procedural generation.

I did condensed matter Physics, where QFT isn't that essential, but from the QFT I did study the "it's all fields" way of looking at it came out quite naturally (well, how natural something as profoundly weird as QM can be, can be discussed..). So I fail to see how this can be considered particularly controversial.

I mean, if you want something controversial and non-mainstream, take the subject of this article, pilot wave theory.

PS: Do you have suggestions on a good introductory QM study materials (textbooks, online stuff,...) that emphasize the fields viewpoint?

Agreed 100%. Indeed, this is one of the best articles I've come across which covers several of the reasons we believe dark matter exists, as opposed to us just needing to modify the theory of gravity.

For whatever reason, dark matter seems to repeatedly rub people the wrong way today, more so than any other scientific concept I can think of. I actually wonder if it's something psychological -- if the universe is only 1/6 normal matter, it makes us feel even more insignificant than we already do, in the vast, seemingly infinite universe? Or maybe it's just the name, sounding too much out of fictional Star Trek.
Sorry for your loss. And I agree on the pressure around birthing choice. My wife just delivered our 3rd child, and at this point we felt confident in our choices. But the birthing class we attended before our first child was born was full of fear, pressure, and pseudoscience.
It would be the opposite, every major airport will be open for a plane in trouble.
After expressing “deep shame and sorrow,” she admitted to years of underreporting her earnings, through the practice of “yin and yang” contracts, in which a smaller contract is disclosed but a larger one is paid to the star. She was ordered to pay a hundred and thirty million dollars in back taxes and penalties. Her actions amounted not only to a personal misstep, she wrote, but to a betrayal of China.

I find myself agreeing with the confession: if you illegally evade $100 million of taxes by lying about the amount you are paid, you are betraying your country. While the Chinese approach to prosecution seems open to abuse, the outcome here seems actually seems reasonable: the actress pays substantial penalties but goes on being an actress, tax evasion is not condoned, and rule of law is upheld.

By contrast, the outcomes of the US system often seem perverse: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/10/02/us/politics/d.... This is an in-depth NYT article showing how the current president seems to have used similar illegal maneuvers to avoid paying many millions of inheritance taxes. The outcome seems to be that if you have enough money, you win, and the ordinary taxpayer loses.
My mother was in labor for over 36 hours (maybe more, she told me but I forgot) in 1976. You know that would be a C-section nowadays. She had two more children after that. I don't know how long her labor was for those but I assume it wasn't as bad.
I was about to share this with the team at OmniSci (GPU analytics platform) and realized the authors included our very own Saman Ashkiani and adviser John Owens.

Having fast dynamic data structures on the GPU is of huge utility. People think that you can't make these sorts of things efficient due to thread divergence, but if you do it right, the massive flops and memory bandwidth of a GPU can really work in your favor.
Security questions are DUMB. They are the exactly same authentication mechanism as password (i.e. proving you know some piece of information). So you basically have multiple backup password in case you forgot the first one. But worse.

If you create a different password for them. Because you rarely use those answer, you won't be able to remember them when they are actually needed. If you generate them with your password manager, then when you loss your password you loss them too. If you actually answer the questions with real information, you basically created a weak password.

All in all, security questions is a terrible idea.

So my takeaway from this article is: where there is a concentration of mass, there is dark matter. (Quote: "According to models and simulations, all galaxies should be embedded in dark matter halos, whose densities peak at the galactic centers.")

Wiiild speculation: perhaps mass is actually a complex number with real and imaginary parts (analogous to how quantum mechanics describes fields), and what we're able to measure directly (by weighing) is the real part. The imaginary part ("dark matter") is some yet unknown interaction with gravitational force and what we measure indirectly with gravitational lensing is the complex magnitude.

As I was walking the dog last night I was thinking about SEO and how even the "experts" don't really know Google's secret sauce or how the recipe will change. There are best-practices that seem to work but with Google's algo hidden and changing it seems funny to be an expert. But certainly they know more than their clients. That led my thoughts to dark matter.

Expert: I am an expert on Dark Matter.
Me: What is it?
Expert: I have no idea but I think it exists.
Me: Ok, you must be really smart.

My glib little dialog contains no sarcasm. No doubt they are very smart. Expertise is measured differently in different fields.

Expert on Oak Island knows all the rumors and theories but not where the treasure is.
Expert flat-earther knows all the wrong facts.
Expert politician might know .0001% due to the vastness of government.
Experts on religion know the experts in other religions are wrong.
Expert MLB hitters fail more than succeed.

I guess it gives me hope I may one day be an expert at something.
The spiral structure isn't fixed to specific matter, it's a wave moving "through" the galaxy. But broadly yes: you can look at orbital velocities of galactic matter directly (via doppler shifts of their spectra) and make a map of the mass distribution in the galaxy. And then you can add up all the mass we can see as stars, and they don't remotely add up.
We detect most matter through its interaction with electromagnetism-we touch things and see things, essentially. I think the "aha" moment is when you realise that something invisible to light would also be incorporeal.
Another one of these comments that make this forum always a joy to read. Thanks for the detailed walkthrough.
I'm not convinced that airlines want to get into the business of arbitrary confiscation of non-compliant items from hold baggage especially if it's to be carried out when the passenger isn't present.
I recently read an article, basically it said that we normally think we can code and make a nice product but forget about marketing.

Marketing is the 3rd essential component in a product, and finding savvy marketers is as hard as finding a really good engineer for your product.

As well, when hiring, a big mistake startups make is to hire samers. You should be hiring people that don't do exactly what you've been doing, as they're also going to be bringing creativity to your business in a way someone doing your same craft cannot bring into the table.
>The motivation. We know how stars work, and we know how gravity works . . . .

You say we know how gravity "works", but we still cannot unify general relativity and quantum mechanics to accomodate gravity.

Why don't you start by admitting that all the observations of the stars and galaxies beyond out solar system are events which are long past by the time the electromagnetic radiation (light) reaches us, often millions of years or even longer.
