I'd take issue a different way.

It seems far more likely that objects like 'Oumuamua are relatively rare, and that means it likely came from someplace close by (if it came from farther away, the odds are even lower we'd ever see one).

I'd rather look at the density of Oumuamua-like objects in space. First, it seems like these objects rarer than some things but dense enough for us to have seen them.

Their "terminal density" comes when their rate of production managers to equal their rate of consumption. Who knows how they're produced but I'd assume they are consumed when they are gravitationally captured by a solar system - actually flying into a sun is much less likely I'd assume. Such gravitational capture is more likely if these objects are moving at a similar speed to the solar system they encounter.

The one thing we know about Oumuamua is it seemed to speed up as it left the solar system. This factor might imply that the chances of capture wind-up very low. Now, the rate of production could be low and thus life-span could be high. A high lifespan implies this came from far away. I could be wrong on the consumption chances. But still, I think arguments about how far these travel would do better with such life span analysis than with the quote argument, whose implications are foggy imo.

As to whether the thing is a product of alien intelligence? If the very low density analysis is correct, if such a thing could behave as Oumuamua did, then that too might be a good spacecraft design. Which is to say, the amount of information we have is low that making absolute answer seems pretty hard here.

I've used Logic since 2004 and quite frankly in its current state it seems Apple is barely keeping it alive for old users much like Motion which hasn't seen a major release since 2011.
Agreed. On the other hand, I'd like to think I'd not take it as a personal attack, but I'd not go as far to say I've not lost anything. Just because my life is insignificant in the grand scheme of things and we all have to die anyways doesn't mean I'm not actually losing time with my loved ones and the general enjoyment from life. I suppose you can 'change' the definition of losing or claim we don't own our lives anyways, but that seems like a stretch, and to some degree, seems like invalidating their sense of loss.
Or Apple knows that Android users (other than LineageOS et al) do not care one whit about their privacy.
Please don't resort to superficial, baseless claims about "trolling" because you have an issue with a timeline being presented. You should instead attempt to point out what's wrong with it, if anything.

Can you please pinpoint the exact parts of my post that are uncivil? I posted a historical timeline of actual controversies involving Republican administrations because there is a clear, repeatable pattern that happens. Are you saying I am not allowed to bring attention to something that seems characteristic of a particular organization, backed up by a historical timeline because it might offend people's sensibilities? If so, just say that instead of throwing labels at my post under the guise of moderation.

Being neutral does not mean ignoring facts or being unprincipled. You cannot form opinions and perspectives by ignoring facts or refusing to investigate observed characteristics about any system. Please reevaluate your position on my post.

I'm including a screenshot for all to see because your claims are not substantive in any reasonable context: https://imgur.com/w5EJ2gT
Abstract

Slow periodic activity in the longitudinal hippocampal slice can self‐propagate non‐synaptically by a mechanism consistent with ephaptic coupling

Slow oscillations are a standard feature observed in the cortex and the hippocampus during slow wave sleep. Slow oscillations are characterized by low‐frequency periodic activity (<1 Hz) and are thought to be related to memory consolidation. These waves are assumed to be a reflection of the underlying neural activity, but it is not known if they can, by themselves, be self‐sustained and propagate. Previous studies have shown that slow periodic activity can be reproduced in the in vitro preparation to mimic in vivo slow oscillations. Slow periodic activity can propagate with speeds around 0.1 m s−1 and be modulated by weak electric fields. In the present study, we show that slow periodic activity in the longitudinal hippocampal slice is a self‐regenerating wave which can propagate with and without chemical or electrical synaptic transmission at the same speeds. We also show that applying local extracellular electric fields can modulate or even block the propagation of this wave in both in silico and in vitro models. Our results support the notion that ephaptic coupling plays a significant role in the propagation of the slow hippocampal periodic activity. Moreover, these results indicate that a neural network can give rise to sustained self‐propagating waves by ephaptic coupling, suggesting a novel propagation mechanism for neural activity under normal physiological conditions.

I wonder what % of these cases could be explained by understanding how much money each parent is making.

I'd wager that US Female Scientists probably make less than their partners. I'd wager that it's more likely for a US Female Scientist to stay in her position when she makes more money than her partner.

Do US Female Scientists have a preference for starting families with those who out-earn them?
Fair enough, let's forget the word "perfectly". Let's have a "practical" example. A society is made up of 99% "ethnic Germans" and 1% Jews. The year is 1933.

A faculty is made up of 90% "ethnic Germans" and 10% Jews. According to the hypothesis, getting that makeup closer to the societal demographics will result in a "lower risk of bias".

I hope it is now obvious to see that the hypothesis is a non-sequitur.

I feel that AWS suites Jeff more so than selling and shipping material goods.

Jeff speaks with deep comprehension and enthusiasm regarding AWS, I've never heard him do such a thing for customer experience, and the more abstract and nuance issues of strategic marketing, branding, mindshare yada yada.

I'm not at all surprised to hear him say in retrospect that they will eventually be an 'AWS company'.

If I'm understanding correctly seems like Mr. Mills had a marrow transplant, and the white cells in the marrow from the donor had attacked his liver. Chemoterapy is a poison, and liver's work is to deal and be distroyed by poisons, so this does not help.

Without donor's white cells, the Leukemia gets worse, but without liver, people die fast. It seems that restoring liver function would be the higher priority now.

Liver has evolved to be destroyed and regenerated. Is able to create new hepatocites massively if needed. Is said that you can remove 2/3 of the liver and the remain cells will regenerate a complete liver in only 2 weeks. Is an awesome organ if we think about it.

The options are, I suppose, a liver transplant/liver graft, that is expensive procedure but very effective.

or a liver support device that could buy a precious time until a liver donor is available

It seems that in USA there are around 4000 liver available from donors each year, and a list of around 17000 receptors. Liver transplant is expensive. You need to invest maybe $12000-250000 only for the operating teather part. Plus post-operatory procedures.

An alternative could be to take a chunk of liver of Mr. Mills and cultivate it in a laboratory, far from chemoterapy and vicious white cells and then create a bio-system that could act as an artificial liver for some time. A possibility maybe could be to make a self-transplant in the future. Even small chunks can regenerate a much bigger chunk of liver

Several types of artificial livers could help also to alleviate the liver work, like a Molecular Adsorbents Recirculation System (MARS) or/and fractionated plasma separation and adsorption (FPSA, Prometheus)
To be honest it sounds like you just have unreasonable expectations about the way things work, and choose to look at everything from a negative perspective.

Maybe readjusting the way you view things would make you happier, because it sure sounds like you have a siege mentality.
People need to stop misusing "Ponzi scheme" for anything they think is a scam. A Ponzi scheme is quite specific, if you're just thinking of people trying to sell something to "the next idiot", call it a Pyramid scheme (although I still disagree that it applies to Bitcoin).

I am using Ubuntu and Mac OSX. I have a Windows 10 machine dedicated for gaming which I don't really have much time to enjoy.

Windows 10 - so slow to start up. I don't like the UI design.

Ubuntu - fast, but somehow after upgrading to 18.04 my number key pad doesn't work without running a command, so annoying. hardware support is still an issue but there is always solution if you know how to use Linux

OSX - beautiful UI, very stable and fast experience. I am not a fan of Apple. My Macbook Pro is the only Apple product I have and I can say it is worthy price.
With premiums plummeting then laws about liability can rise.

For example in California by law you only need $30k coverage. In Alberta it's $200k (most have $1 Million). This is really surprising given in California an ambulance can cost that much, whereas healthcare is nearly free in alberta ($250 ambulance iirc).
I love Redis, but I'm a bit skeptical of some of the changes that are currently in development. The respv3 protocol has some features that, while they sound neat, also could significantly complicate client library code. There's also a lot of work going into a granular acl. I can't imagine why this would be necessary, or a higher priority than other changes like multi-thread support, better persistence model, data-types, etc.
Just to be clear, MIMO is not a new feature in 5G. LTE has MIMO. Old Wi-Fi routers from 10 years ago had MIMO.

5G is upping the number of antennas per base station. Theoretically, this allows a linear increase in capacity, but linear scaling is not always achievable in practice.

The advantage of the higher frequency bands is the larger bandwidths available there. Conventional cellular bands typically have 5, 10, or 20 MHz bandwidth, sometimes 100 MHz. 5G's millimeter-wave bands support bandwidths up to 400 MHz. Information rate scales linearly with bandwidth. That said, there are many practical challenges to operating in the millimeter wave bands that might limit real-world performance.

Lasers only travel in straight lines, and any moisture or dust will reveal its trajectory and draw a straight line to the shooter. Worse, you need to keep the laser on target for a while. With a .50 BMG sniper rifle you can be moving before the sound of the bullet reaches the target.

After some clarifications from replies to my sibling post, the answer is "definitely more than 50%" because the lift-induced versus parasitic drag curve is at its minimum when the two are equal, but the efficiency curve is a relatively flat-bottomed bathtub shape, so the cruising speed is selected to be faster than where this point is as you get significant reductions in travel time for relatively small reductions in total efficiency when you are near the 50% point and increase airspeed.
I'm not sure if you're alluding to this, but it's supposedly already happened.

> Death comes for us all, sooner or later, one way or another. That's one of the few truisms in life.

I'm genuinely making an effort to understand how this is relevant to someone with a cancer diagnosis. Sure, dead comes sooner or later, and that's the whole point of why one would feel it sucks and that we're losing, because often cancer means for you, dead came way too early. I have not known anyone with cancer, but I can't help but feel somewhat related as I have a loved one with a mental condition. Although there are techniques such as 'radical acceptance', it's easier said than done, and when it comes from an external party advising you to accept it, it feels invalidating, because they don't know how it feels (even for others with cancer or mental conditions, each person experiences it differently).
So sad. Reminds of some promising research into fasting that applies specifically to his form of leukemia, ALL. https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/articles/year-2016/l... I'm sure he's had a ton of people suggesting all kinds of things, but I wonder if he has looked into fasting. There's not much downside to trying at this point.

“Strikingly, we found that in models of ALL, a regimen consisting of six cycles of one day of fasting followed by one day of feeding completely inhibited cancer development,” he said. At the end of seven weeks, the fasted mice had virtually no detectible cancerous cells compared to an average of nearly 68 percent of cells found to be cancerous in the test areas of the non-fasted mice."
In my experience, the norm is minor expenses are, well, expensed. Dinner, taxis, whatever. The big ones that require planning, sometimes HR just take care of - i.e. booking your flights and hotel for you. That being said it isn't unheard of for that to be something you "expense" as well. If they fuck you, sue them. They probably won't though.

Side note: if you're in a situation where you're loading up a credit card with business expenses that are later reimbursed, you may consider looking into a credit card that offers rewards like airline miles. It's essentially a "free reward no fee ATM." I always volunteer to grab the company lunch tab for this reason.
Doreen, what jobs do men with similar to your skills get? What skills do you work on to improve your chances? Do you believe you have expressed well enough to the requiter your willingness to contribute and help move the organization further?

On a side note, I come from a place where we had communism and as a consequence women in science are marginally a majority (the country is Bulgaria). The vast majority (80%) of the IT reqruiters here are female and despite of that they still target, interview and hire 90% of the times male candidates. I really wish I could tell if the cause is prejudice or merit, but I can't.
Also CF uses anycast geolocation, which is the easy fast way to market, but not nearly as reliable or controllable. You just start buying some colo and let the internet do its thing, and be at the mercy of their peers. Most bigger CDNs and content providers don’t do this for that reason.
The people with businesses get a lot of the new currency from the people that need to work for a living and we're back on track to be right where we started.

I don't like arbtt because it has an undocumented binary log format making it unnecessarily difficult to build tools on top of it. Its documentation in general is also poorly written.

That adds up to 198%, but that’s effectively correct when you’re scaling up a company!
* 800 mR/hr if you physically touched the rocks

* 280-320 mR/hr if you physically touched the bucket(s)

* 13.9 mR/hr if you were within 5 ft

* 1.85 mR/hr inside the building more than 5 feet away. Also can be thought of as "0 mR/hr above background"

* 2.02 mR/hr outside, in the park, on a bright sunny day.

2.02 is "background". i.e. the levels everyone is getting from natural sources outside.

13.9 mR/hr is 139 microsievert (µSv) per hour

So, really its that being near the buckets was 139 µSv/hr. A child would get ~70 µSv in that half hour, in theory.
If we believe Randall Munroe's (of xkcd fame) sourcing in https://xkcd.com/radiation/, then that means the kid got less than a round-trip flight from NY to LA sitting there for 30 minutes. "1400 times" sounds like one heck of a scare tactic. Not saying this was smart, but its overly alarmist.

The "drilling down layer by layer" bit does seem quite well supported:

but you're right about the high-level proofs of the theorems not looking the way most people expect to see proofs.

Perhaps the way that the proofs are broken down (to be accepted by the site) makes it hard to reassemble them at a level of abstraction that is more readable.

Specifically:

>Under the rule set forth in Brady v. Maryland, the prosecutor is obligated to provide to the defendant any information that is exculpatory or potentially exculpatory, without any request by the defense. Further discovery is available if initiated by the defendant. For example, a discovery demand might be for production of the names of witnesses, witness statements, information about evidence, a request for opportunity to inspect tangible evidence, and for any reports prepared by expert witnesses who will testify at trial.

He might still be taking advantage of and hurting people though, just like there's people like him making life harder for someone with a disabled child and many other "horror stories", the worst of which will never come to light. Please don't get me wrong, I don't blame you at all for not picking that fight, at age 25 in a situation I know nothing about. But that situation is over, other situations aren't, future situations are incoming, be it with that person or others. When someone throws someone else out of the window, I don't shrug just because the victim happened to land on their feet. The other didn't plan for that, they didn't care. I cannot fully get over that.

As an individual, it's great you let it slide, and I think forgiveness is really important mental hygiene, it's something you do for yourself more than for someone else, IMO... but as a member of a society that ideally would be somewhat just and decent, we shouldn't forgive something that hasn't even been repented of and is still ongoing. Disarm, explain, forgive, that'd be my preferred approach. Not fail to disarm, fall on deaf ears, forgive.
> We can be pretty confident that if 50% of the population are women then 50% of the best candidates for a given job, by natural aptitude, are women

No, that's a false statement. We cannot remotely think that because it's completely wrong. The percentage of population of a gender has nothing remotely to do with the percentage of women qualified for any particular job.
I mean, you are shoving needles into otherwise healthy people's arms. I've not googled the claims of the MD here, but as a first pass, you should expect that infections should increase every time you open up the brachial artery. Sterilization isn't every perfect, people can be Typhoid Marys, mistakes happen when putting in and taking out needles, etc. Just trying to play vampire all willy-nilly is not a good plan for longevity.
I worked for a similarly horrible person many years ago.

I was doing on call support for a bunch of Linux machines. Literally it was him and me left because the moment I started the other two engineers bailed. One went to work packing salad because it was a better job (big warning!) and the other one had a breakdown.

So didn't get paid properly, argued mileage down to the mile, the clients and him constantly gave me verbal abuse over and over and I ended up working until 10pm some nights with my 9 month pregant wife at home on her own and virtually immobile due to a back problem.

So I get home one night after a tirade of abuse for the day and sent him an email saying "Fuck you I quit". Get a call about an hour later and he's drunk shouting abuse down the phone. This suddenly turns into undying love and care for me after the abuse wasn't working and he realised I couldn't be brow beat into coming back again. Then there's a thud which I assume was him falling off his chair. Never spoke to him again but the company folded about a year later.

So I sit down and I'm about £2000 down then on salary and expenses that were missing. I had £250 in the bank, £400 rent due a week later, wife about to have a baby and an empty fridge. So fuck it. I sold all the stock I still had of the company on ebay (back when you had to take photos and get them developed and scanned and futz with cheques which was hard work), broke even and scraped a first pay cheque at a job just before my credit card melted into a puddle.

It took 10 years to get out of the hole and back to normality. NEVER put up with this for a second. If anyone treats you like this RUIN THEM before they ruin you, your life, your relationships and everyone else they go near. I don't usually advocate this attitude but the damage and destruction that type of person leaves is immense.
