"T-Mobile has put in place some protections to prevent unauthorized transfers of your account to new SIM cards, I just had to deal with them last night - actually. Swapping SIM cards for a line must either be done in-store where your photo ID can be verified, or over the phone but only after confirmation of a OTP sent to account managers via SMS.
I know T-Mobile actually had some issues with this in the past, so even though I miss the convenience of going to t-mobile.com/sim to swap a card out I feel it's a much better solution security-wise."

If you book a short-haul ticket with Lufthansa or British Airways, you'll almost certainly be offered a range of fares including a "hand-baggage only" fare. This comes with zero included checked bags.

Even if you have elite status with BA, you won't get an free checked bag if you book such a fare[1]. LH are temporarily "as a goodwill rule" allowing their elites and star alliance gold elites to get one free checked bag on 'Light' fares[2].

Being able to not be a criminal, to not be arrested, to not die on the street, this is dramatically better than the alternative. No one can be prevented from buying street drugs in western countries, where there is demand someone will meet it. But this is far better for society too.
The act of formalizing mathematics in a way that can be machine verifiable is an active area of research, but not one that is much of a concern to the majority of mathematicians. I will say that in the current state-of-the-art writing machine verifiable proofs is often quite difficult and unintuitive, and not possible yet for many branches of math. The foundations upon which generations of mathematics are based upon do not lend themselves to machine verifiable proofs. Placing these fields on such foundations is very non-trivial, but people are trying.

To your points on notation, I think requiring math to use purely ascii characters would end up being more of a burden than you expect. There are a lot of concepts in math and having more characters to use to represent them in a small space is helpful. I would much rather see a phi (one char) than a word representing something because it's easier to parse. Succinct notation lets you abstract big concepts and express relationships between them in a big-picture sort of way without requiring multiple lines. Then it's easier to remember the resulting relation.

It's also worth noting that a piece of notation generally doesn't have one global use throughout mathematics. As long as notation is defined it's generally not a problem.

It's unfair because the school gets used to the far higher tuition charged for international students, and they don't allow domestic students in. Or they set aside a max % that can be foreign. The schools need the money. But foreign students take the place of domestic students, especially at selective institutions.

Never been a member, but I do receive regular notification emails from a Fb account/person I don't know, and an account I've never had anything to do with.

Yesterday after news of stolen data emerges, I received a "Facebook password reset" email sent to my gmail address. I ignore all and filter as spam, but sometimes I see them. The email headers do show the source is facebook.

Seems like Facebook allows new account sign up from unverified email addresses. That's a flaw in their policy against spam and abuse, making these hacking events worse when they happen. They need to use activation codes in the email used to sign up with.

This is the question I was really getting at: where is the site where I can go help beyond the ways that most people already know about? Where I can I volunteer my services to fix a posted problem with MikroTik routers being insecure? Where is the site with a giant list of problems and descriptions of the people needed to solve them? And matching algorithms to put the two together?

More to the point: where can someone who has a totally unique skillset help solve a specific problem?

The assumption I'm making (which may be faulty) is that everyone has a unique and valuable skillset that may only apply to specific problems. (Like for example, I know nothing about B list celebrities from 1950s Hollywood. But if someone had a problem to solve that involved knowledge of that period, they could post the problem and match it to a profile of a Movie professor, or just a regular person who happens to know alot about that subject. The technical complexities of proving someone knows what they are talking about and their authority can be trusted, basically filtering spam contributions, is the biggest technical challenge. But it seems like new tools like machine learning and neural nets could help us here.)

We all know we can help do basic low-skilled stuff: donate money, volunteer at homeless shelter, build houses habitat for humanity, volunteer at local garden, trash cleanup etc.

What website do I go to that collects all of these ways to help and more?

For ex, what website do I go to for helping in these scenarios:

1) I understand politics and want to work on bills in various countries to stop climate change?

2) I understand biology and want to cure the algae bloom I saw in my local lake yesterday?

3) I understand the physics of mechanical design and want to help fix a design flaw in a pair of garden shears that keeps cutting my skin between my thumb and first finger?

Or approach it the other way around: what site can I go to, register my interests and skills and get assigned to existing projects that will change the world? Where I can help anytime I have free time. Or get an assignment in my email?

Scenarios:

1) I sign up on the site saying I have a biology degree and live in Napa Valley, CA and can do environmental stuff. I get assigned to take Cesium 137 readings to followup on the Fukushima disaster in wine country at various GPS coordinates and get sent a geiger counter, instructions, and training.

2) I have Crohns disease but am willing to wear a data collection monitor on my body and send the data to multiple companies developing new medicines or treatments.

3) I care about elephants and can volunteer to take a shift watching through the eyes of an automated drone that scans for poachers on the other side of the planet?

There are plenty of ways to do basic help in a semi-organized manner to treat the symptoms of chronic human problems. There is no site that I've seen where solving the largest problems of humanity can be crowdsourced.

Where I can I volunteer my services to help design water desalinization plants to make them 100X cheaper?

Most people working on security don't have much power, and are reduced to tinkering with small incremental improvements that don't break anything.

case in point: If you look at the history of malware infactions in organisations, one vector historically stands out since the early 2000's: office/pdf attachments in emails. It's been obviously a catastrophic combination to feed untrusted, unauthenticated complex office formats to insecure productivity applications, but nothing was done about it despite weekly new public vulnerabilities and pwnage continuing over 20 years.

> I know RSS was supposed to be about the content too, but just as a notification system, it's crushes anything else out there.

The sad truth is that RSS is a product designed for an internet that doesn't really exist anymore (blogosphere on top of the open web). The reason everyone is dropping support for RSS is because not enough people are using it.

Besides the consumers not using it anymore you also see producers moving behind paywalls or pushing people to their website so they can click ads (media), and everyone else uses a few closed platforms (twitter, facebook).

EDIT: I personally would choose an RSS feed over Facebook's newsfeed any day of the week. Including having to go through the hassle of keeping my subscriptions up to date and going out of my way to find new sources. Unfortunately the reality is that mass consumers don't agree and FB has over 2 billion users whereas RSS readers are dropping left and right because no one is using them.
I find the phrase "oriental philosophy" to be problematic in addition to being quite vague.

Additionally, your statement that this "oriental philosophy"(?) doesn't give "due credit" to abstractions, which seems like a very wide dismissal of an undefined subset of philosophical groups.

Then you go on to dismiss meditation as a practice as well, as an "escape from reality". I am assuming that you would agree that since abstractions and definitions are important, the term "reality" isn't well-defined within your statement.

I am curious as to what you mean in general, because it seems like you're trying to tear down some sort of philosophy that we aren't privy to without offering any meaningful alternative counterpoint.

It is a website. With forms. And logic to query a database. And do math.

Aggregators are capable of asking what city, date and time, how many bodies, which service class, which seat, etc. and returning your menu of options with prices based on those details.

Yet asking "how many bags" and multiplying that by the airline's rate is impossible?

Of course it requires changes. I suspect those happen now and then.
Why Diving Down Internet Rabbit Holes Won't Teach You Anything
I still think that facebook can be tremendously useful, even if I unfollowed everyone and have zero posts (mostly to see events, access facebook-homepages, let people find my email address or just occasionally tell someone to send me an email instead of writing on messenger) - but heck, this latest breach is a bit too much to swallow.
I did not read the whole thing, but I skimmed it. Its not a new-results type of paper. It is just collecting the works of other people and being careful about the language used. I have grappled with some of these issues/formalism/language in my own research as have many other physicists over the decades. The purpose of this paper is to argue that "Textbooks need to reflect that fields, not particles, form our most fundamental description of nature. This can be done easily, not by trying to teach the formalism of QFT in introductory courses, but rather by talking about fields, explaining that there are no particles but only particle - like phenomena caused by field quantization."

Notice that he is talking about teaching/talking/explaining. It is a for-teachers paper, not a for-researchers-working at-the-cutting-edge-of-fundamental-physics paper. And its nothing new. I taught an introductory level course on quantum mechanics recently and I refused to use the words "particle" or "wave" at any point in the course because I think they are confusing. I talked instead in terms of wavefunctions which is just an easier word for fields - at least as far as undergraduates are concerned.

You both seem to be making the exact same point from different directions. Being a burnt out husk is terrible for your career and work performance. You both feel like the sabbaticals are restoring the life side of the work-life balance. Therefore taking a break is actually enhancing your career.

> I've concluded thus far that, fundamentally, there's no one-size-fits-all for human bodies

Exactly. I've had pretty bad experiences with a no-breakfast IF. After two or three weeks on the diet, I get insomnia, and I definitely feel more stress. On the latter, I've read that IF raises cortisol levels, so that might be it. That's actually pretty good when you're at low baseline stress levels (it puts you in a state of "positive anxiety"), but when you're stressed from work it can take you over the limit.

Ultimately I stopped it because I'm already at around ~12% BF - I couldn't even say why I was doing it anymore. Three healthy meals a day and regular exercise does it for me.

If this works for people without negative consequences, then all the more power to them. I really like how it goes against the "shove things into your mouth at every waking hour" philosophy, which has become a ridiculous dogma in modern society.

Yes they do, it's called a shadow profile[1].

If you're in Europe you might have some some recourse (GDPR and such), but if you're from the US you are most likely out of luck.

I consider this a self-reflective question on the interviewer's part. If your interview can't sniff out the gap in their experience, then there are two possibilities.

A) The most likely one: your interview sucks and you're not as good as you think you are

B) The gap doesn't matter.

Hmm, a Short JS or Golfed JS standard should be ratified.
