> There is fairly well established science outside genetics that establishes that the average distribution of brains in bimodal over female and male sex. An MRI scan can predict your sex better than random choice.

I'm not saying that there aren't differences, I'm just saying they are practically negligible when they are compared to social differences. I don't doubt an MRI can predict sex relatively well, but a far more accurate prediction can be based off of what type of underwear you wear and whether you carry a purse or a wallet.

The social constructions and stratifications we have made for ourselves are far more powerful than differences in our own genetic code. It's largely this ability to modify ourselves through society that differentiates us from other animals.

Random idea this brings up... Some of the faster than light drive concepts worked by compressing space in front of the ship and expanding it behind. If sound waves carry mass maybe they could be harnessed and focused in a way to warp space time and impact travel speed? I wonder how the medium impacts the mass?
That's an Austrian school conflation, and that largely because it refuses to recognize that market failure is a thing. Originally, "free" meant "where actors compete freely" - this excludes not just government regulation, but also monopolies. Since in practice monopolies form in unregulated markets over time, at some point, such a market can become less free than one with active intervention to bust monopolies.
I think the actual evidence, for the OP, is that he/she feels better. I don't think it matters if no one else feels better. OP isn't making a scientific claim other than they feel better after a weekend of sleep.
What do you mean by recent? There's been a whole society of rentiers living solely off investment income in most countries for at least the last 300 years, if not several thousand years. It's extremely well documented, especially in Britain and France since the early 1800's (see Thomas Piketty's work on wealth distribution). The more capital one owns, in general, more income is earned from capital rather than wages. This ratio increases sharply when you look at the top 1% and 0.1% of owners.
The OP specifically states that they know the technical part and are asking about the "financial side".

But -
> "How do I build a service where I can link a buyer with a seller and earn money on that transaction?"

I googled that exact phrase just to see what came up, and the first link was this: https://www.sharetribe.com/academy/how-to-design-your-market...

Which highlights Paypal and Stripe as clear and strong answers to this question, which I'd expect most people asking it to already know - it's the other questions that are tougher.
Median per capita income in India is about $650/yr. I don't know how many hours a median worker works, but to use the US standard of 2k hours per year, that's $0.32 per hour. So two dollars per month is approximately 6 hours of labor.

Now let's try this same calculation with the US. US median per capita income is about $32,000 or $16/hr. The T-Mobile One plan is currently listed on their website at $70 for a single line. That's 4.3 hours.

This is obviously a GROSS estimate, but it appears an Indian worker has to work approximately 1.39x the amount of hours a median American worker has to work for a "good" cell phone plan. You can get much cheaper pay as you go plans, but I wanted to use "mainstream" as much as possible.

Keeping Calm: When Distributed Consistency Is Easy

I was pondering doing a stellar based platform for this a few weeks ago. It wouldn't be that hard to do technically but there are many legal and practical hurdles.

Using something like stellar would sidestep some of the financial headaches around trying to do this through the existing financial system at the cost of being less user friendly. IMHO particularly recurring payments would be a big headache (like monthly donations). On the flipside, any fiat interactions, and the associated tax consequences would be offloaded to exchanges and users.

One cool thing that you could do with stellar is use so-called federated accounts to represent content owners and users. This simply means you have a database with accounts that you map incoming payments (from stellar) to based on a memo that is attached to the transaction. So, this allows us to have lots of accounts represented by a single stellar wallet. More importantly, it allows most of the users/owners to sidestep the issue of wallet and key management until they have to care. And finally it allows us to do micro payments. Imagine distributing 5$ worth of XLM or whatever token on stellar across hundreds of content owners based on likes or preferences of the user.

Another thing you could do is represent content owners preemptively (i.e. before they've even heard of you) with their own little federated wallet. The way that could work is that users reward whatever they think is worth rewarding and those rewards go to a dedicated account for the content owner. When owners register, they claim their rewards by proving ownership, doing KYC, and whatever else we need them to. Unclaimed rewards simply get redistributed periodically to selected good causes related to open content (e.g. wikimedia).

Building this technically is not that hard. But the organizational challenges around this are big. You need legal staffing and IMHO this only makes sense when run as a foundation and not as a VC funded walled garden/money grab for investors & shareholders. The foundation itself could run off donations via its own platform plus maybe some kind of base fee of e.g. 2-3%. When restricted to R&D and operational cost, it should not need a lot of resources and IMHO incentives for profit contradict the overall goal of the site which is to allow users to reward content producers.
Damn. You need to get a job as a political think tank. You can contrive an explanation to support any world view.
"scientists also needed to demonstrate the durability of the membranes under prolonged contact with seawater and ensure the membrane was resistant to "fouling" by salts and biological material (which requires existing barriers to be periodically cleaned or replaced)."

Er, yes. All they have is an experimental membrane that won't pass salt. Lots of those exist. Can you backwash it and get the salt out? It has to handle concentrated brine in reverse. Plus whatever other crud is in the incoming water. Most of the headaches of real desalinization plants revolve around those issues. Fragile membranes are a big issue.

This is in Nature Nanotechnology, not Desalinization, which has a more practical orientation.
Surely in this example, it doesn't matter what science concludes. If the OP feels better after a weekend of sleep, then simply they feel better? Science can't demand that they're either lying or disillusioned. I say this as someone who has a strong belief in science.

But why is you visiting it okay, but others not? It's like being stuck in traffic and hating on other drivers. In the article's case, it's their homes, so I can see it being annoying. But for landmarks that get popular, I don't see how one is justified in hating on other people going there. It's just a tragedy of the commons.

I also dislike how Barcelona and others are handling the problem. Taking tourists' money and harassing them.

I say this as someone who grew up in a mountain resort. Yes, it is annoying during winter when people flood to "my nature" and "my ski spots". But if it weren't for those people, my family or no one else would live there as there wouldn't be any jobs. So then it wouldn't be "mine" anyways.
>subsidizing tool development as part of a platform play does not count

So you're excluding deploying/maintaining Open Source Software as a service. That basically excludes how Open Source is supposed to get monetized.
I don't really understand why this theory is attractive. I hope someone here can help explain:

Suppose we build a 1000 NNs for object detection, and let them 'vote' for which model to believe. What would be the best voting mechanism? Probably a final voting layer, right?

This architecture can be described as a single NN where we disallow connections between 1000 separate parts of the network in the first n-1 layers.

What would be the advantage of this? I appreciate that the brain - might - do it, but unless you can show any indication of this with experiments, or argue for why it would result in a performance increase, what's the point? Anyone can come up with an inferior architecture and propose that it's what the brain does.
Don't like to go into specifics online - but same amount as I've been offered for a senior devops position in NYC (not financial tech to be clear, but the offer was still solid from my research). So it's a good deal for me.

I think the recent phenomenon is that many folks with moderate levels of income and initial capital have become convinced that they can attain financial freedom. Pickety's research does not support that, in fact, it supports the opposite conclusion: the only way to get wealthy, is to start wealthy.

The main reason is probably, especially at mid-northern latitudes (where a huge number of people live), absent DST conventional work/school hours would mean that biasing sunlight hours on the late side--which many/most people prefer in the summer--implies it would be dark when people leave their house on a winter morning. Among other things, this means kids wait for buses or go to school in the dark.

Personally, I'd be fine with shifting a time zone or two east and eliminating DST but I understand why a lot of people wouldn't.

That's pretty much the only reason one would reverse engineer it, in this context - and it's somewhat misleading to suggest otherwise.

I agree with your statement - that doesn't mean that there isn't a way around sleep. If we imagine the fitness vs. evolutionary traits as multi-dimensional landscape, it could be that we're stuck on a very deep local minimum.
It doesn't mean that there's not a deeper local minimum few blocks away :-)

It just means that sampling evolutionary traits that lead us out of that local minima, is very expensive from a fitness perspective.
In all fairness, that's northern Norway which is not where most people live. But the general point is valid. It's mostly the northern mid-latitudes where people want to optimize the clock relative to the sun for different times of year. Further north and further south, it doesn't matter as much (for different reasons).
Not really. Operators are things you deploy to a cluster that can subscribe to updates to K8s API objects. They get notified of changes and can act on them. This effectively lets you implement new services for Kubernetes as custom resource definitions, eg letting users define database crd and then the database being provisioned for them. Super powerful!

More neurons on average in a male brain by quite a large margin. I expect this to be fairly well understood and proven by now, as neurons would be a fundamental concept in modern neuroscience and if they can not manage to get this straight everything else is to be put into serious consideration on account of this.

It's important to note though that DNA is optimized to use as little information as possible. Hence all the symmetry in the body, since it almost cuts down information requirements in half. This would talk against having vastly different brains in the genome as that would require storing the blueprints for two different brains.

That being said cultural but perhaps more so influences from hormones might do their part. So to clarify I'd find it extremely unlikely that the brain would be fundamental different just as the heart or the kidney would be similar between sexes and from data requirements in the DNA it would be impractical out of an evolutionary perspective.

The article mentions that in newborns there is little or no difference in brains, which seems to fit with my rule of thumb idea above. Then again in a culturally imposed straitjacket she continues to completely ignore the impact on hormones on the brain. Considering the fundamental ways that females differ from males this seems totally ridiculous and to me it looks like a striking example of ideological kneejerking.
I don't think the the two endpoints are that big of a deal. I know where I want to start selecting, so I can just navigate there and then expand the selection in one direction only. This is how it works with vi anyway, only you can't really expand the selection after the fact.

In the rare case case when I miss the mark, I wouldn't mind pressing an extra key to move the cursor to the other end of the selection and expand from there.

And yeah I feel that dissatisfaction too.
