I find this topic hard to comment on specifically, but I think you are probably on the right lines about specificity of the observed phenomenon being of key here.

Using a ridiculous example "for a sample set of 10, the author found that exposure to fire causes burns" would hopefully not draw similar sampling concerns but as I don't know this subject matter deeply, I can't comment whether it is true for this case
You don't write the compiler, of course, but you do write or rather design the types that your program uses. The typechecker ensures that they're consistent within the system of logic that they set up.

By your logic, it's not enough to have faith in unit tests because you wrote them; you must also write the test framework and runner.
I live in low cost area with a relatively high salary (astronomical for the area) and I'm actually saving close to 100% of my cost of living, but... that would be 400-500% if I weren't:
1) Married.
2) Having a kid.

Most stories I read in that article are like guys having 3-4 kids living in LA.

Geez people, forget treating the cause (wage slavery, politics etc), start with the symptoms or you may not live trough them.
What gives you the impression undercooked meat (which seems to beg the question, let alone dairy) affects longevity negatively? A basic survey of research seems to offer highly ambiguous findings.
Doesn't help when it includes a pun.
This may seem like a valid viewpoint, but it does not sound completely correct. I am not sure that we allow parcels of land to be private in the name of conservation. Perhaps ecologically sensitive parcels of land should not be private. Wetlands, mountains, forests and perhaps beaches (that's up for debate right now) should be considered "commons" or "protected" with general access to the public. The fees in National and State Parks go for conservation, not for profit.

The gist of the point:
If your sample size is small, significant results are likely to (sometimes vastly) overestimate the true effect size, and there is a non-negligible chance that the effect size is actually estimated in the wrong direction.
That doesn't mean they are taking a nap. They are probably eating or doing something else.

This makes sense in urban areas. Kids and anyone else without a bank account can walk in to any grocery store and use their cash to purchase one of those loadable prepaid cards.
But remember structure padding, which the compiler is free to add in the middle (and end) of a struct (though there are pragmas and/or attributes to pack structs). IOW, an array and a struct are not necessarily the same in memory.
William Binney once said in an interview that one could also analyze which pair (or cluster) of cellphones went off together, and then analyze possible rendezvous.

I think one way to circumvent this is to force all participants to keep the cellphones in their offices/homes, and then meet elsewhere at a predetermined time, with no one carrying phones.

As many security professionals often say, it's not about whether I do any illegal activity, it is also about whether someone can "impersonate" me for various crimes like phishing. The less sensitive information people know about you, the safer it is for you.
This is anecdotal: here in Shanghai it's not uncommon that vendors(specifically street-side small vendors) will turn down customers paying with cash payments.

Those that do unwillingly sigh and look for change. Vendors all assume immediately they're going to scan your QR code or you will scan theirs. Even taxis have their QR Codes printed out on their dashboard somewhere. Subway systems and buses all use QR codes.

Recently in the Carrefour, they started implementing POS systems with facial scans for payment.

Funnily, there have even been occasions where foreign friends can't buy themselves quick street food as all the stands refuse to accept their 100 RMB cash for payment(no change, or digital only)

While I understand privacy is a strong concern(especially under our great leader Xi \s) there is no doubt that the convenience of buying and selling here is absolutely great. Sending money to friends is easy and painless. Makes using Zelle, Apple Pay, and especially Venmo feel cumbersome.
He has some good points. And also, yikes: this senior software developer doesn't understand the performance cost of implicit conversion from unsigned to signed.

There are two problems with quoted text.

First problem is "if". In "if e.g. it turns out that the risk of mission failure...". The problem is - what if not? What if those "much tighter margins" and "much higher stress" nevertheless don't translate into substantially higher - and unpredictable - mission failure risks?

Then all those anticipated savings will just keep accumulating.

Second problem is with costs of cargo. There are reasons why a lot of cargo going to space is expensive. A lot of those reasons are related to the incentive to make cargo working on the first try. You can't go and fix things, saying goes, so you have to make your payload reliable - on the first and often only attempt. That's a good recipe for raising costs.

This is admittedly not the only reason. You can imagine unique enough telescope which would be as hard - relatively speaking - to build on Mauna Kea as it would be to launch to Sun-Earth L2. But even in those cases you could perhaps split the system, build pieces with some spares and assemble them - given that you could actually fly, repeatedly, there.

And for all others less exclusive payloads, that's even more true.

Now, the big reason why we usually don't consider that a viable option is because we used to think - over 60 years of Space Age - that Getting There Is Expensive.

But the whole point of many efforts - of both SpaceX and their likely-minded colleagues elsewhere - is to make getting there cheaper. First somewhat cheaper, then seriously cheaper, and then commodity-level cheaper. Then we won't need to create so unique payloads - because we'll have the benefits of available extra mass, for fuel, for construction margins, for extra systems, for docking, for service flights etc. We'll do building systems more and more as we do it with orbital station - instead of building unique Skylab we launch more specialized ISS modules, and much less of them are so critical to the whole project that we need to spend so much efforts to get them right the first try.

So this quote appears to me missing some important points.
They aren't good. Hence the dragnet approach of collecting all data, and then waiting for Google or some such entity to come up with the research for mining methodology.

How do you address identity theft when biometrics becomes the norm? Thus far you can always say your ID credentials were stolen/duplicated.

But in future, good luck trying to convince law enforcement that your fingerprints, your iris patterns, your physiognomy and your DNA were stolen too.
Retailers Rejecting Customers' Cash as More Ban Paper Money
Why are we still trying to do biometric security?

- Biometrics are public, unlike passwords. Biometric data can usually be gathered from a person, often discreetly, by cameras or whatever other sensors are used for authentication, and replayed with sufficient effort to fool the same sensors.

- Biometrics are not revokable, unlike passwords. If you give your biometric data to someone and they mishandle it, it's compromised for life.

- Biometrics cannot be uniquified for different authenticators, which is like using the same password for every service-- terribly insecure.

- Biometrics pose secondary privacy concerns, because they inherently destroy anonymity.

Resources and creativity are being drawn into crypto, that could be spent elsewhere, perhaps more usefully. Not to mention vast amount of electricity.

As someone who have worked in audit, I can see why business would choose not to accept cash considering the amount of fraud taking place. It is much easier for a cashier to take the cash and not issue/re-use receipts. Maybe the transaction fees would be lesser than the probability*amount of cash-related fraud.

I can't find many references to this online - either fountain pens, or the 'master scribe' thing.

Certainly it wasn't the case when I went to school in 90s/00s UK - I had a cheap fountain pen, but only because I hated ballpoints and was experimenting with alternatives. I don't remember anybody else in my school having one or talking about them.

In the end I settled on the Uniball Eye as my favourite pen, and have been using it ever since. Glides like a fountain pen, but with less faff about the ink.
Beaches and coastline are most certainly not like other natural spaces so it's unfair to equate the fight for public beaches to the idea that this means no natural space should be private.

There are 3.7 million square miles of land in the US, but only 88k miles of coastline. It's a vastly more rare resource. There are lots of places across the US which are still untouched wilderness, both private and public. I would argue that there are no unexplored beaches on the California coast. It's a very finite resource and there not that much to go around, especially in the most desireable areas.

But the article is actually addressing ocean access. You clearly can't own the ocean, the property owners already acknowledge that. They know thier property ends at the mean high tide line. The real fight is that if you can own and control the land that let's you access the ocean, in practice you effectively have your own private area of ocean. That's not fair. We wouldn't stand for it in other circumstances. You couldn't buy up all the land around Disneyland and then charge people for access to cross your land. It's the same for natural spaces and public resources. You can't keep everyone out just by buying up all the reasonable access points.
It's so bizzare how in order to do this, that person had a barrier to entry of hundreds of thousands in private and public resources getting a license to help you. And they dont really help you.

Compare to something like cops, who you have to interact with whether you like it or not, virtually have a license to kill, and are actually selected based on low IQ.
Traditional medicine that is shown to be effective is no longer traditional. It’s modern medicine.
Specifically, they pass it on to all their customers, not to only those customers using cards (doing so is against the merchant-processor agreements). i.e. those using cards are in effect increasing the price for those not using cards.

Yes, the revisions can be reconstructed in merely the same time, for instance it doesn't matter if you open the most recent revision or any past revision regarding system/transaction time. We also do not have to store the transaction time more than once (in the revision - root page).

And if you do a fine granular modification, we usually do not copy and rewrite the whole page with currently 512 records (it depends on the versioning algorithm you use).

I really like the features of these functional languages, Purescript has lot of capabilities for code-generation (i.e. simple-json parses json from type-definition) and I like type-directed search [1]

Ocaml on the other hand seems to me the language Golang should have been, practical, fast, not overdoing it on language features.

(I still like golang for the ecosystem, and practicality, but from the language design standpoint, I have the usual gripes of a wanna-be functional programmer, I'd really like generics and sum-types and libraries that use them) Moreover, I can compile ocaml on my blackberry, that means I can learn it while commuting :)

Increase congestion...for the people still using the car instead of the shiny new bike lane. Use the bike and problem solved, for those that don't, well suit yourself.

And as others noted. A single bike line without connecting lanes will not change people's commute. Changing habit is also something that doesn't happen over a day or even a year. It might take 5 years for the effect to show.

On what rationale can you decree that all lands in need of conservation should be held by the "public"?

Certainly you must have some evidence, then, that private entities are necessarily less capable of and effective at conserving land than public entities?
OCaml will lose the GIL when multicore lands in ... the next few years I guess :-)
In this case the beach (at least the portion below the mean high tide line) is already public under California law. The issue tends to revolve around access to existing public places.

Also, it's not just about conservation. (Public access and conservation are often at odds.) Per the article, "The issue has taken on new meaning as conversations of equity dominate politics."

Your parents probably aren't doctors. The issue isn't cut and clean...

>>No, I dont think the medical care is that much of a big factor. I think what matters for countries involved is "family care". I.e. how much are your siblings/relatives/kids going to take care of you as you get old. Compare this with the survival of people who are left alone in nursing homes, they lose many years of their potential lives.

Isn't Japan notorious for doing the opposite? At least it made the news....

"Several reasons for the increase in kodokushi have been proposed. One proposed reason is increased social isolation. A decreasing proportion of elderly Japanese people are living in multi-generational housing and are instead living alone.[6] Elderly people who live alone are more likely to lack social contacts with family and neighbors, and are therefore more likely to die alone and remain undiscovered."

Cash isn't the right currency to run a market where every activity must be done. The right currency to hand out is "suck points" for people who volunteer for chores. When a chore needs doing and nobody's volunteered, whoever has the least has to do it.

But the article is actually addressing ocean access.

No. Actually the article is talking about beach access via traversing private property.

There are 3.7 million square miles of land in the US, but only 88k miles of coastline. It's a vastly more rare resource. There are lots of places across the US which are still untouched wilderness, both private and public. I would argue that there are no unexplored beaches on the California coast. It's a very finite resource and there not that much to go around, especially in the most desireable areas.

So simply because there is no "unexplored" coastline, and because there is only 88k miles of it...it should all necessarily be open to the public?

Your argument then is that relatively scarce lands should be necessarily open to the public. Where does that end? Beaches? Waterfalls? Rock formations? Absurd.
That's funny. I actually had a similar problem with libraries and always wondered what the hell is going on.

You can use any drug containing Paracetamol (Tylenol, Panadol). It isn't that effective, but it works and as far as we know it's perfectly safe if you adhere to dosage recommendations.

My sons hated taking medication. I gave them non drug options on a routine basis for minor ailments because they didn't want to take drugs if they didn't have to.
in many places in europe there will be a surcharge added depending on the type of card you’re paying with.
The Pacific Ocean is neither privately owned nor land. If people do not have access to some part of the commonwealth, it is no longer part of the commonwealth. Different polities have different ways of dealing with this problem. California has chosen to make most shoreline public.
At what resolution did they measure 88,000 miles of coastline? The "general coastline" is only 12,383 miles.
Regardless of the title, the key to this issue is that while
California beaches below the high tide line are open to
the public, access over private land is not part of the deal.

One could walk along a beach, or arrive by water, or access from and over public land, and be within one’s rights,
but there is no right to walk thru somebody’s private
land to get to the public beach.

Note that the Khosla / Martin’s Beach case also contains
an issue of changing public access without a permit
from the Coastal Commission. That’s complicated.
