"Like almost any refined food made with wheat flour, it is fortified with iron"

This makes it sound like everything we eat has this absurd level of iron. Typical refined food made with wheat flour has a much lower level of iron than cheerios (which incidentally are not made with wheat) do. Cheerios are weird that way. Kix are the only other thing I've found that has that level of high iron fortification (I'm personally at risk for low iron and read a lot of labels). Even Luna bars back when they were marketed as having nutrients for women had less.
Thanks for the link, hadn't heard about those spiral variants before.

ps Is it just a coincidence that..in this field where the spiral is super-reminiscent of the old computer game Snake, the triangular version was discovered by Klauber, a herpetologist of all things?! Maybe. (Preston Sturges' wonderful movie The Lady Eve has a scene with Henry Fonda (a herpetologist) reading a book called Are Snakes Necessary? which would make a cute maths paper title.)
SC will likely rank (easily) as one of the most expensive video games of all time should a completed version ship.

Elsewhere they boast of a dev team of well over 400 members and 5 international studios... hard not to argue that's AAA studio development sized like a product from EA or Activision.
The UX for donations does not say anything about "on behalf". Nor does it say that the person has not requested that. Nor does it say that the money won't actually go to that person unless and until they explicitly come and claim it. Nor does it say that the person isn't even notified until the total is over $100.

As far as consequences to the person - asking for donations in and of itself affects one's reputation.
Yeah, maybe it was a red herring (a black-body herring?) to bring up batteries here.

The solar panel itself is already non-reversible, and so is the arc welder, right? That seems to be the important difference from the lens.

In that sense, we don't run either of them "for free" in the way that the xkcd piece describes.
Often a problem for spaghetti code techniques.
Most of these people also have $5/mo (or 'prime subs' that are free with amazon prime) subscriptions to one or more content creators in the community.

I don't even have netflix or spotify or any subscription service, but I find it worth my $5/month to support the one streamer I enjoy tuning in to whenever I want some background entertainment while doing things around the house, and I think that's not an uncommon usecase.
The "I worked for NASA" shpeil is so sweaty when you find out that he didn't even build the device. (Someone in this thread posted the channel of the contracted builder.)
Which would mean they are comparing to a standard they made up. Which is the gist of my point.

Going further down the rabbit hole I find:

Charmin rolls labeled "4=16" have 308 sheets.
"Regular Rolls" were, when they were available, 121 sheets.

Other implied "standards" within Charmin vary from sku to sku. So apparently the Charmin Standard does not exist in their product line and is not a fixed value either.

They could just to put the total inches^2 on the package of course.
Sounds like they are learning marketing from IBM.
Is Nuance Overrated? (2015)
Oh god, can we please get a real physicist in here? This entire thread is a mess of computer programmers “well actually”ing other computer programmers and everyone being wrong.
That may be true now, but perhaps not in the future.

Heck, mathematicians in general thought number theory was “useless” up until only around 40 years ago. Now we know that our world could not have developed this way without the creation of modern cryptography.

I think number theory serves as a great example for why basic research is so important to humanity.
Yup. I think Discord will ultimately surpass Slack except for certain edge cases.
Oh, yeah! You’re right! I mean, not perfect, and it’s backwards, but otherwise pretty close.
The problem is that the industry creates and feeds off these "belief systems", constantly cycling through the latest food anxiety to sell more shit. We need less belief and more fact.
"It's entered the mainstream less than 10 years ago. It surpassed the film industry not 2 years"

I don't know how you could think this unless you mean something like esports gaming. Gaming has been mainstream for quite some time, as early as the late 80's I'd say, complete with tv show, toy, and movie tie ins. PC gaming was a little less prevalent, they cost a lot more than consoles of the era.

That actually helps explain an issue I had with my Galaxy Nexus. I worked in an area with spotty coverage, and it was extremely common that it would say I have full service coverage, only to have it drop to almost or no signal as soon as I used it to call. That issue was infuriating.

Wow... separately I had no idea the surface of the moon reaches (and goes above) 100°C... that's hot! Literally boiling hot. Turns out at night it goes down to almost –200°C. That's insane.

Quick searching of how the astronauts survived this, turns out it seems they timed landings to the lunar dawn for an in-between temperature, that the lunar surface doesn't conduct heat well (all dust?), of course there's no atomsphere to conduct heat, and that their boots were extremely well-insulated.

A little over ten years ago I cofounded a startup in Boston that was attempting to do something along these lines. We couldn’t believe how much money people were spending on such a bad investment. We were going to sell our own scratch tickets that had a positive EV. You’d scratch a ticket and reveal a code which could be redeemed for a fractional share(s) of stock in one of a basket of companies. The hope is we’d come close to the entertainment value while at the same time helping people save and earn a massive jump in ROI over regular scratch tickets (which paid 50 to 85% or so). The numbers would work at scale if people liked it. We weren’t the right people to do it, but I hope other people someday will offer something similar. Stockcards is something a little close to it, which is cool to see.
No-one? Those are strong words.

You add them using their phone number. You can give them a name just so you know who's on your list but the system won't actually have their name. As of now, if me and you have a mutual partner, that partner doesn't have to be a member, but the two of us would have to add the person to our lists. International is important: Im sometimes one of those people. Luckily we end up connecting on Facebook or IG. For now I'll be starting with the US to get my feet wet. If theres interest then I will proceed. People sleep with strangers, some people are poly, regardless of the reason, its a way to keep track of who and when, and if needed, to also alert them.

It sounds good in theory. In practice it would probably turn out like mmj cards where anyone sufficiently rich can get a five minute gluten certification. And people without regular healthcare can't, but hey they're poor and shouldn't be going to restaurants. And tourists. Add to that the extra bureaucratic load on the restaurant workers.

Maybe restaurants could contract out to a dedicated GF meal service? Or have some fancy frozen GF meals available?

Also, since the moon is tidally locked to the earth, it rotates at the same rate it revolves, which means that sunrise and sunset only happen once a month, which makes dawn a pretty long time.

ITU doesn't make the standards, why should they get to decide what's "4G" and "5G" etc.? "5Ge" is a label for a real thing in wireless technology--a parallel evolution of LTE that overlaps in technology and speed with 3GPP's 5G-NR standard. 3GPP (the folks that actually make the standards) are pushing a parallel evolution of LTE and 5G-NR into the "5G era." LTE will get technologies that will also show up in 5G-NR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_Advanced_Pro.
Couldn't find any mention of a 3rd party security assessment? Open source doesn't necessarily guarantee security though I'm really glad to see this is open source.

Given macOS's security track record - especially with High Sierra - and how particularly verbose Mach-O binaries tend to be, I'd be kinda worried about something relying so heavily on proprietary APIs (and potentially the system keystore?)
Though I'm sure using Keepass with Mono (that the Macpass site lightly implies is the only Keepass macOS alternative) isn't exactly an impenetrable fortress either haha

I've always considered 'raw data' to be data before interpretation or processing. When you collect data, you just collect them. You collect every bit of data you can, whether it's necessarily useful or not. After you've processed it and gotten the values useful to whatever study you're doing the data becomes 'interpreted data'. You likely leave out data that are unrelated or not pertinent to the study being conducted and usually includes data acquired after processing, means, medians, standard deviations etc.

Usually raw data is available but not included in it's entirety in reports. The dat included in reports will typically be data after processing. This has just always been my experience with the way studies and such tend to be carried out.
They may have non-public tests to discourage forking. IIRC, Sqlite similarly has some proprietary tests only available to paying customers.

I'm more of a fan of neat foods like Japanese sushi. Not only for health reasons but mainly appetite - eating food that is half liquid like a slop just seems gross to me. I dont get mayo on my sandwiches for the same reason.

It is possible this has something to do with slight autism/OCD tendencies. I am very decisive about my food being neat to the point that something like poutine I will be unable to eat due to nauseating feelings.
> something that is 5000 degrees reflected off of an object with albedo 0.12 is putting out 0.12 times the energy it originally did, while something that is 2500 degrees only puts out (1/2)^4 = .0625 times as much

I don't understand this bit. I don't think there's any power law involved in reflection, if something has an albedo of 0.12 then it just reflects 0.12 times the incident radiation, doesn't it?

I think I agree with your overall point, though, which is that the moon isn't a black body radiator (well it is but only at a couple of hundred degrees C at most) but is just reflecting the sun's light (and those photons are hot enough to start fires).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_laws_in_the_United_Stat... seems to indicate otherwise.

The linked article is correct and the arguments are well known and accepted in the physics community and have been for a long time (much longer than Randall Munroe has been alive). A lot of the counter-arguments/speculation here in the comments is wrong.

Reading this is is equivalent to reading a thread on a physics forum where with people arguing about an article saying that O(n*lgn) is really the best possible runtime complexity for a comparison-based sorting algorithm, and trying to disprove it.

It's also worth pointing out that Randall Munroe is a physicist (to the extent an undergrad degree counts anyway).
My thoughts exactly. Know the limits of your knowledge, folks. You’re doing the physics equivalent of arguing that you can write a lossless compression algorithm that always reduces the size of the input no matter what it is, or that you can write a comparison-based sort algorithm that’s better than nlogn if you’re sufficiently clever.
I am so glad people spend time looking at this stuff, I had no idea any part of it was fake.

I note that their Twitter account has had no activity for a few months. This seems to be a common thing with services that shut down or products that get discontinued.

Makes me wonder.. maybe it's worth building a tool that monitors the Twitter accounts of common services and products and raises a bat signal if they don't tweet for a month or two. It seems to be where budget gets tightened first.
I guess some people really don't mind being lied too. Others take a stand against it. I am happy for those latter people.
From the article: "companies around the world that have cut their work week have found that it leads to higher productivity".

I'm disappointed that the article does not even explore the question, at what point does productivity decrease? It says that going from 5 to 4 days brought about an increase. The natural question is, what would happen if you went to 3? To 2? 1?

Certainly at 0 days per week, productivity will decrease. And I know it will be a long time before even a 4-day week is the norm. But at least as an academic exercise, why is no one asking the question? What is the fewest number of hours per week that yields the same amount of productivity as 40? (Such a study would have use averages, of course.)

I'll repeat for the reflexive downvoters:

Solar panels will work in moonlight if and only if you can make fire from moonlight with a magnifying glass.

The answer depends on how good a mirror the moon is. It calls for a real experiment, not a thought experiment. I don't really know which way it will go.
While I suspect you can't start a fire from moonlight in practice, I don't think the arguments in this article are correct.

I guess if you're reading that as some kind of absolutely logical argument. I read stuff like that as an abstraction which just kinda works in the messy real world. Pretty much like how the typical explanation for how a wing works turns out to be an over-simplification. It only partly works that way. Actual wings are complicated, but in the aggregate, they just get enough air molecules to go downward to net out the forces to keep the plane from going downward. It turns out that there are a lot of mechanisms contributing to this all at once. (Which is something else he discusses in that series.)

Here's the bright ethical line: don't accept any money unless you can be assured that you can provide it to the beneficiary. At least failing that, make it abundantly clear to donators that there's no reason whatsoever to expect the funds to actually go to the recipient.

The moral hazard is blindingly obvious: the worse you are at getting funds to where they should go, the more money you make.

> "4G" means something. "5G" means something else.

Except it's not that simple. LTE and 5G-NR (New Radio) are continuing on parallel development tracks, with important features getting "backported" into LTE. You could build an LTE Advanced Pro network with all the fixings that would be faster than a barebones 5G-NR network. If you want to be technically precise, refer to whatever 3GPP release you mean. Once you're using "4G" and "5G" you're already in fuzzy marketing land.
