A house should not breathe. A catchy mantra I've run across is "seal tight, ventilate right":

Mold is not a ventilation problem, but rather a moisture control problem. Keep the humidity down (especially with whole house dehumidifiers), and eliminate condensation points (by eliminating thermal bridging), and it goes away.

While the above video, which is from the really good channel by Matt Risinger, is a good introduction, I recommend you also check out the building science stuff put out by Joseph Lstiburek for a more science-y explanation:

>Patriarchy, likewise, is simply the idea that we live in a social system oriented around men and paternal dominance.

Unpopular idea, but no. Patriarchy is a word for the decisions women make collectively.

Patriarchy wants you to wear make up and pretty dresses? You mean the judgemental stares at work and school.

Patriarchy wants you to have a glamorous career and a family with kids? Or is it the biological clock kicking in, and the pressure to not be left alone with a box of wine and 3 cats.

Patriarchy says men are strong leaders and women are weaker? I think you mean all the women calling men pussies when they don't step up to defend them, and the severe lack of women choosing high risk jobs. Even in politics, women fare better when they do it, but fewer choose to do so.

Even in this article there's the example of a woman losing interest as soon as a man follows the supposed script of asking nicely. But he doesn't seem to connect the dots: people aren't very good at predicting their own emotional responses, and much of the reasoning they do is just to rationalize them after the fact, when their brain has already decided what it wants based on feelings.

Equality means everyone's responsible for their own choices. It's as simple as that.

> It is almost universally bad, especially for kids, and should be kept to a minimum.

Were you aware of this recent study[1] that seemed to draw a different conclusion?

> The authors’ overall calculations did find a statistically significant negative association between technology use and well-being: more screen time is associated with lower well-being in the young people surveyed. But the effects are so small — explaining at most 0.4% of the variation in well-being — as to be of little practical value.

> In fact, regularly eating potatoes was almost as negatively associated with well-being as was technology use, and the negative association between wearing glasses and well-being was greater.

I would think that something "almost universally bad" would present itself as more statistically significant in terms of well-being.

I said the exact opposite actually. I stick to my diet religiously. That's why I believe I'm more disciplined than 95% of people and why I have the freedom to deviate occasionally if I wanted to to eat junk food.
I am thinking at it from this point of view, say you create a library named libmath and you put a function in it named add.
Then someone makes an app that uses your libmath named MathApp.

If I reimplemnt libmath myself, then do some trickery to make MathApp use my version did I emulate your library or reimplement it? IMO I reimplemented it and it is very possible that my implementation could be less buggy and faster in some cases.

In fact, I don't like people optimizing shell scripts for performance. I mean, shell scripts are slow by design and if you need something fast, you choose the wrong technology in the first place.

Instead, shell script should be optimized for readability and portability and I think it is much easier to understand something like 'read | change >write' than 'change <read >write'. So I like to write pipelines like this:

cat foo.txt \
| grep '^x' \
| sed 's/a/b/g' \
| awk '{print $2}' \
| wc -l >bar.txt

It might be not the most efficient processing method, but I think it is quite readable.

For those who disagree with me: You might find the pure-bash-bible [1] valuable. While I admire their passion for shell scripts, I think they are optimizing to the wrong end. I would be more a fan of something along the lines of 'readable-POSIX-shell-bible' ;-)

Takeout and restaurants that do takeout are either easy on demand foods or complements to the core business. I used to work at a coffee/sandwich shop where catering drove margins -- delivering a box of sandwiches to a business meeting or small event is enormously profitable, but wouldn't keep the lights on.

The problem with cooking anything on demand is that scaling up distributed cooking doesn't work well while preserving quality. If you want cheap, you get fast food, and if you want expensive, you have a quality cafeteria.

It is almost universally bad, especially for kids, and should be kept to a minimum.

Had I heeded that advice as a kid I almost certainly wouldn't have this very comfortable job and career I currently have. That being said I agree that not all screen time is created equal and it is important that screen time is guided and monitored. Also there is nothing that precludes screen time from also being a parent-child bonding activity.
Trivial hacking is probably unlikely. Vehicles generally use CAN bus, but whether or not the camera data is available on the bus... I have my doubts, but if it's there, that'd be pretty cool. My guess would be there's a dedicated image channel off the main bus--but that's just a guess. I'd be interested in knowing if it's on the general network. It is peer-to-peer so in theory it can be deterministic, so maybe it is.

What I'd like to know is if there are any studies into whether the frequency with which a person weighs themself can have an effect on weight loss?

Letter by M.D.McIlroy to Ken Thompson for Pipe (1964)
In principle yes. If far out of the money options are systemically underpriced then just buying a bunch and holding them should make money on average, by definition.

In practice there are a bunch of concerns. You have the gambler's ruin problem: even if your bets are positive expected value, it's very easy to go bankrupt. Since your fund makes all of its money from crises you have a bunch of counterparty risk along a risk of regulatory intervention etc.. Your fund will lose money in most years and it's very difficult for potential investors to know whether you're actually positioned to make money from a crisis or just wasting all their investment. See Keynes' line about sound bankers.

Taleb endorses and advises a fund that tries to bet on "black swans"; it's explicitly advertised as a fund that will lose 5% of its value every year in "normal years", but hopefully pay off in exceptional years. You can invest in it if you want. In theory it should work, but no-one will really know until after we have one of those exceptional years.

Zimbabwe was destined for hyperinflation even if they had a budget surplus, meanwhile Japan had the biggest deficit in the world and still got deflation. MMT is mostly just not being in denial about that. There's no moral component to it.
I fully agree... and yet... everyone who has tried to "fix" this has failed, at least in the sense of "attaining anything like shell's size and reach". Many have succeeded in the sense of producing working code that fixes this in some sense.

Powershell's probably the closest to success, because it could be pushed out unilaterally. Without that I'm not sure it would have gotten very far, not because it's bad, but again because nobody else seems to have gotten very far....
As to windows software requiring admin to install. A lot of it comes down to that for the most part, software that installs globally should be limited to admin users. That doesn't mean that a lot of windows software can't install locally.

Big Cities No Longer Deliver for Low-Skill Workers
> I don't know in the US, but in Europe for an average family of 3/4 members using meal kit companies is bloody expensive in the long run and you can't even get meals for the entire week.

This is definitely true in the US as well, even in areas with slightly higher prices for groceries in which meal-kit companies still charge their normal prices. You could eat out and get a main dish in one of a variety of restaurants in any city in the US for the price of the meal-kits I found.
100 years ago, mass media was still in it's infancy. They had printed media and occasional radio coverage and in many parts of the world media was extremely regulated. Now, we have a large number of different channels with much less regulation, and many more people with their own agendas.

Every complex solution will add an additional layer of complexity on top of everything, thereby making the problem worse. If society, as a whole, becomes so complex that the processes that keep it rolling are no longer transparent, then we'd end up in a situation where we can't see the forest for the trees.
There is a difference between meal kit companies like Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, and Plated and fully-prepared companies like Thistle or Freshly. The value-prop of not grocery shopping is there for both but one doesn't require cooking, which is important to some people and one takes the guesswork out of cooking to hopefully make you a better cook, which is important to some other group of people. There is also a difference between those companies and delivery services. Even though UberEats will deliver you freshly made food, you have to order it every day and need to wait for it to be delivered. With these other services, the packages are just delivered to your door in a box and you only need to place the order once a week.

Delivery is expensive, so these services are out of reach for your average consumer. However, when you think about it, the people most likely to get a ton of value from prepared foods are people most likely to have a busy job where they make a higher wage than the average consumer.

Additionally, user-retention metrics in weekly subscription services can be misleading. If you're still ordering 52 cycles after signing up, you're likely a whale for the service.
I think this is an exaggeration/strawman. Can you give an example of a mainstream introductory math book that defines some esoteric notation like "Q(x)" and then continues using it hundreds of pages later? Note that I don't mean defining it locally within the context of one proof -- that's something different.

The closest thing I can think of is notations like U(f, P) and L(f, P) for the upper and lower Riemann sums of a function f with respect to a partition P. These do show up in introductory real analysis textbooks, but they're pretty basic/fundamental notions.

By the way, as far as I know, ∂ in introductory textbooks can only mean either "partial derivative" or "boundary". Do you have examples of it meaning other things?
Fully agree, pipes are awesome, only downside is the potential duplicate serialization/deserialization overhead.

Streams in most decent languages closely adhere to this idea.

I especially like how node does it, in my opinion one of the best things in node. Where you can simply create cli programs that have backpressure the same as you would work with binary/file streams, while also supporting object streams.

The first example being related to typography reminded me that Jan Tschichold was one of those influential typographers who's book, The Form of the Book, along with Raul Rosarivo's Divina Proporcion Tipographica, re-popularized the "Secret Canon" of medieval incunabula and brought the Golden Ratio to bear on book layout. Unfortunately we've lost a lot of that beautiful layout design but it can still be found in a few places. For a while, MacBook screens very closely approximated the Golden Rectangle.
What you want is not an "electric furnace", which uses electrical heating elements, but a heat pump per one of the other replies.

Mitsubishi has some that can extract heat from the outside air even down to -30C.

Most though only work down to about +5C (they're used in more temperate climates). So check the specs.

They also work for AC.
- Adapting to artificial changes to environment/constraints requires a long time to evolve and that will be through countless generations. So, the example above needs to be thought of through large numbers instead of such a small sample.

- Additionally, consider that you could perhaps fool a duckling to imprint upon someone/something else as his/her mother. This one example is not useful if one were to attempt to disprove that this imprinting behaviour evolved to help the ducklings stay with their mother in a vulnerable period.

To me, this appears clear. However, I am not sure if I've articulated it in a way where you are able to also see where I am going with this.

The FAQ states:

>"Q: What are some of the issues associated with analog computation?

A: They are similar to the ones that are of concern whenever analog functions (op amps and more) are used for signal processing or signal conditioning. These include linearity, offset, temperature-related drift, aging, and bandwidth."

I understand bandwidth but could someone elaborate in lay terms what these other "concerns" are in analog circuits? Specifically what are linearity and drift?

>Instead, the top predictors of whether a voter supported Measure M were their political party and their frustration with congestion.

You can believe the transit will be good for congestion even if you don't expect to personally use it. Are you confused if you're an East Bay-SF commuter who drives and also supports BART capacity expansion?

Edit: Furthermore, transit is hard to quickly scale up or down. It can be reasonable to support expansions now, even not realizing you might find it useful later as traffic gets more choked.
It's not the first self-inflicted and won't be the last.
An A1C test will only show problems after you've gone through a cycle of your body resisting insulin and your pancreas being overworked (resting insulin 4-7x normal) and then your pancreas wears out (damaged beta cell production) and then your resting glucose rises. This process can take many years. A resting insulin test will show resting insulin rising years before an A1C test shows a problem.
I agree, the world will carry on. It's just a very heavy systemic shock switching your economic system from one set of conditions to a completely different set of conditions, from one day to another. So the question is: is the benefit greater than the cost? I'm pretty sure that the voters have not received the necessary information to really assess this question.
If economics were a hard science, then we could focus on the objective facts.

It's not one, though.
