>By the way, have you made bread with just wheat flour?

Several times a week, every week.

>It won't rise.

Yes it will.

>Anything more than 50% wheat flour and in the oven it's just not going to get big

Use a whole wheat bread recipe, don't use a white bread recipe and just swap in whole wheat flour.

>but if you have to use more than flour, salt, yeast and water, it isn't "bread" to me anymore

Almost all bread has more than that. Sweetener and fat are both normal.

OK, I have to give props for that one.
It will take a while for you to adjust. Fortunately, I think I adjusted pretty quickly. Still, I get what you mean by the tubes proving troublesome for sleeping.

I need to have them properly set up so that I am not disturbed by it during the night. Sometimes they can slip off the mattress and dangle from the side of the bed and pull on the mask - a definite recipe for waking up. Being worried about sleeping on the tube and squishing it is also a worry that can break my sleep, as those things are so damn expensive.

Side note from my own experience - Quality of sleep is dramatically improved, but it is still exhausting to have a few consecutive nights of less than 7 hours of sleep.

7+ hours (for me) with CPAP is perfect for a nice, energetic day.

This "Valley bubble" probably goes a long way to explain a lot of these attitudes too.

Would the average joe/jane, given the offer of a "low" 140K salary at a FAANG, turn it down on ethical grounds?

I doubt it. The median US household income appears to be about 60K (1), so at 140K you'd be single-handedly over double the median houshold income before taking into consideration any partner's income. Thats a big deal.

This almost flippant attitude to employment and high salaries in silicon valley is somewhat worrying. I feel like people are growing increasingly disconnected from reality of life that the average person on the street has to deal with.

Logically not, since your sampling method is imperfect and will not detect all typos and, in fact, some typos might make perfect sense given the context and be inherently undetectable forever.
Well, not for nothing, the initial award was $140M. That has been reduced by over $100M to $31M...
Counter-anecdote:

My particular doctor shoots for an AHI around 10, which is still mild sleep apnea (5 is the threshold) and is still high enough to get you diagnosed and provided a CPAP in the first place.

So for 6 months my AHI hovered around 8 or 9, occasionally spiking to 12 (which made me really feel like crap).

My technician won't adjust without doctor's orders (and incidentally also told me I'd fry the entire machine in days if I used non-distilled water in the humidifier, which is just absurd.) The doctor books appointments months out, and is OK with my current results anyway.

So I tried bumping my pressure up by 1 and lowering the exhale comfort feature on my own. Tada! After a month my AHI averages 4, sometimes spiking to 6, and I feel much, much better.

It is often useful to have polygon edges be directional, that is, identify them with either of the two equal-but-opposite vectors between two vertices. In 3D computer graphics you usually want to have either "clockwise" or "anticlockwise" polygons, but not a mixture. This is because the handedness of a polygon determines which way the surface normal points. In addition to shading this is used to determine whether a polygon is a "backface" (that is, faces away from the camera and need not be rendered assuming it's a part of a solid shape).

Re: the digon, as the article mentions, some digons have nonzero area in elliptic geometry (such as on the surface of a sphere). Yes, it's non-Euclidean, but not too unfamiliar.
Quantum annealers are not quantum computers. They are not more powerful than classical computers. You either need the "gate model" or the equivalent "adiabatic quantum computing model" to achieve something infeasible on classical computers.

It is a common misconception to think that adiabatic quantum computing (which is equivalent to the gate model) and quantum annealing is the same thing. It is not, and quantum annealing is mostly a buzzword that D-Wave use to sell their devices.
It’s always a compromise. Facebook offering you an extra $10K but you have to work on increasing engagement? Probably a pass. Facebook offering an extra $500K to work on public research that doesn’t help their bottom line? Maybe something worth looking at. Currently, I don’t see any jobs at Facebook that tip the scale for me personally.

They give you things like your SSN and Birth Certificate for free, I believe. I think my overall point is, the average guy I work with at a shelter or volunteer gig doesn't have the financial flexibility to spend money on an ID at least for the explicit purpose of voting. If a citizen is expected to vote, but must have identification doesn't that mean you're having to pay for the right to vote in a free democracy? It just doesn't sit right with me.
You can buy test kits that you expose to your rooms’ air for some time, and then a lab will grow the mold inside the Petri dishes to “amplify” what has been collected in your home.

I had many problems with my RPi2 not booting after reboot. I had to unplug it, get SD card out, fsck and clean dirty bit and hope that it would boot. Got to making backup image every week.

I had some unstable power (not affecting any other home electronics) and was looking in some UPS hat but opted to go security DVR way. Bought 7Ah battery and 70W buffer PSU[1] and DC-DC 12V to 5V supply[2].

Could not be more happy. Random problems with SD cards are gone. Only thing to add is some battery voltage sensing to gracefully shutdown RPi in case of longer power outage.

Thus, I can tell that many problems with RPi may come from inadequate PSU.

Should scientists always be concerned with the ethical consequences of their work?

Should Facebook employees always be concerned with the ethical consequences of their work?

I think your argument is that the ethics means we really needed enough nuclear weapons to destroy the planet several times over?

And we really needed to let the government sell the lie that there was a 'missile gap' to the US population? Or was that lie in order to hide that there were U-2 overflights? Who were we hiding the knowledge of U-2s from? The Soviets, who could see them on radar and were developing ways to shoot them down? Or the US public?

It's all very odd ethics. I'm sure the Rand Corporation has some game theorists who would clear everything up.

Just because something can’t be tied to “people died” does not make it a positive for society. Things like censorship and tracking don’t have clear and immediate negative externalities, but they are clearly wrong and they can enable other, worse things.

> More so the price the market would bear, but yes.

That really depends on the elasticity of demand for that thing. Usually when a thing costs more to produce than you can sell it for, we say that the market shouldn't produce that thing then, so there's nothing to complain about.

Actually the comparison is fine. They're both similarly developed first world economies.

Soda, sweetened bread, and very sweet food in general aren't just automatically better tasting. To an extent, it's an acquired taste.

When I was a kid I drank more soda than water. I still love the taste of Coke, but now that I don't drink it often, more than a small bottle is too much. It's not just Coke either--a lot of foods that I used to love are just too sweet now that I'm not acclimated to them.

It's the same for many of my friends and family who are from other cultures that don't consume quite as much sugar as we do in the US--they think everything here is too sweet.

It really depends. You can be selective to where you apply and still a job, even as a new graduate. It’s not like it’s impossible to get offers if you’re talented.
But that's my point: it's the network effect (or related lock-in) that determines the monopoly, not the raw marketshare.

In fact, you can have "competition" while having all the substance of the monopoly. For example, if there are eight competitors with equal marketshare, but it's impossible for anyone new to enter the market, those eight can easily conspire to charge monopoly profits, despite each one's "small" market share.

Very interesting. Happy you improved your treatment. Very interesting.
I'd say 'lived fine' is probably not accurate. OSA is under diagnosed and one unfortunate outcome of OSA is high blood pressure, and that left untreated can cause and early death.

There are lots of possibilities.

People who do well in school may require structured settings and feed off the sense of accomplishment. Maybe it backfires in less structured jobs for those people.

People who overly care about meet the expectations of others may not be as good at establishing expectations for themselves.

People who do well in school may have something to lose (money & social status), and because they're smart, they are good at risk analysis, so they choose less risky paths.

OTOH, contrary to popular belief, high school and college dropouts are also underrepresented in the group of successful founders (and many other groups of people considered successful). People with a college degree is overrepresented relative to the population. Also overrepresented are people who attend elite schools and people with wealthy parents... http://theconversation.com/the-myth-of-the-college-dropout-7...

Statistical disadvantages are almost always on women's side on a variety of societal issues, yet women cope and mostly aren't loud complainers on a day-to-day (when they get together to do so male culture calls them out). It's easy to blame (some) men because older sexist men call the shots pretty much everywhere (even areas where most effective practitioners tend to be women, like cooking.) In this way women get used to coping, with injustice, unfairness, offense, from early age and in the presence of other women in their family. This may help explain further the learned ability to commiserate, so to say.

I don't know, maybe men who don't express feelings like being tough dudes and won't consider suicide, maybe the ones who suicide are the ones who do have and express lots of feeling, but misplace the venting somehow, or can't control well, who knows.

Yeah, I'm familiar with basic computer graphics. It's perfectly reasonable to adopt a convention about handedness as a way to distinguish inside from outside. But that's all it is. What seems real to me is the inside-outside distinction, not the handedness. When you make a loop, inside/outside doesn't change relative to the no-loop case. So it's not clear what a loop is. Is it just a convention for distinguishing between polygons that are otherwise identical? That would be fine, but it wasn't clear that that's what the author thinks.
