Physics is still an unsolved problem. The Standard Model is complex (in that it has a lot of free parameters), but it's not the final answer, and hopefully whatever is underneath it is simpler.

I suppose you're talking about cosmology and not physics, but the story there definitely gets simpler the further back you look in time. The entire universe was an almost-uniform plasma for 300 thousand years or so, and once it cooled down it was almost entirely hydrogen atoms for another 100 million years. The only observable features would have been tiny changes in density from place to place, and that's where all of the complex stuff we see today (stars, galaxies, etc) came from.
Seems weird that the second value (40) is in Hz. It doesn't specify the duration of the burst, if it is in bursts. Is it once cycle of a 10 KHz tone 40 times a second, or more? Very odd.
Apparently not paying for lack of quality and compensatory clauses seems to be a thing only in consulting.

Personally, I'm not particularly happy with the idea that I would use something inferior (like YAML) because various mainstream languages are bad and don't make more sophisticated languages possible.
Google has become more and more useless lately, at least if you are searching for specific tech info and not "10 weird hacks to". For example, I've been doing lately some Android AOSP and BSP customization for a custom board. To get useful information and avoid "top 10 Android tricks" and Android hacking/cracking forums I often end up with a query composed of 10% search terms and 90% filters.

Or if you do a search for name surname it may return results for "name" with "missing: surname". That is, how on earth if I search about (for example) Peter Petrelli a result about Peter Thiel would be the same thing? That's a full 50% of my search query that Google is discarding...
I didn't read the the study to too much detail, but based off the charts they seem to suggest many (not all of course) deviations from the expected value is due to manipulation.

To me this is in-line with the reports of market manipulation [0] and the inherit lack of regulation.

Take nations as an example. Nations survive economic hardships by inducing in the population a sense of insular self-defense and struggle for existence (of the nation). When a nation is economically prosperous suddenly it's borders are not so well defined and people naturally develop a cosmopolitan outward and international view based around common union and empire with weaker nations which become absorbed or vassals.

Nationalism is neither bad or good, it's a system wide response to mostly economic signals in a given population or subgroup. If the average internet user understood this, public discourse would be more civil and solutions oriented. Since the issue is not clearly addressed because the political and intellectual class have been purchased by the business elite which engage in transnational profit, the entire concept of the nation state is being undermined from first principles in order to prop up new exploitative economic zones. This will lead to popular uprising and revolutionary war, as it has in the past.

You can of course replace the nation with something better for the individual. America did this in the 1960s by replacing the nation as a people (race) with the nation as an idea (free markets, individualism, equality), this influenced many other nations and won the cold war. And we are probably in a similar replacement phase now, as an Anglo -American -European identity emerges in order to face the challenges of central and east Asia, Africa and South America. The intellectual framework for this new union is not there yet since it is unclear why nations and world zones are in constant competition- far left is offering freedom far right is offering tradition both are struggling to sell the middle who simply want stability.

I tried to switch to Firefox several times, and each time I go back to Chrome because I use Google Sheets and it doesn't work offline on Firefox, which is a must for me. :'( I guess I should quit Sheets, but my spreadsheet cannot be easily converted to Excel or LibreOffice.
This "off by one" issue, combined with the problem of words related to latin "mille" for thousand in many languages, is why in money people often use K for units of "1,000", MM for units of "1,000,000", and B or sometimes BB for units of "1,000,000" (BB has no meaning as far as I'm aware, people just copy the style of MM).

Unfortunately it is likely too late to really adopt the metric system for financial transactions. But the K has crept in for thousands.
> plaques are the "root cause

The amyloid hypothesis has been pretty popular for ~25 years, and it's pretty clear that the plaques have something to do with Alzheimers, but it's been a absolute disaster as a treatment target. It feels very much like treating a fever by slathering the patient in antiperspirant.

Biogen announced this morning that they're giving up on Phase III trials of aducanumab, an antibody that was supposed to target and remove the plaques (their stock is doing...badly as a result). https://www.reuters.com/article/us-biogen-alzheimers/biogen-...

> The mechanical task of taking notes is one of the most important parts of actually absorbing the material. It is not an either-or. Hearing/seeing the information, processing it in a way that makes sense to you individually, and then mechanically writing it down in a legible manner is one of the main methods that your brain learns. It's one of the primary reasons that taking notes is important in the first place. This is referred to as the "encoding hypothesis" [1].

There's almost certainly an advantage to learning to think about math using a publishable symbol set like LaTeX.

We learn by reinforcement; with feedback loops that may take until weeks later in a typical university course.

> There are actually even studies [2] that show that tools that assist in more efficient note taking, such as taking notes via typing rather than by hand, are actually detrimental to absorbing information, as it makes it easier for you to effectively pass the information directly from your ears to your computer without actually doing the processing that is required when writing notes by hand.

Handwriting notes is impractical for some people due to e.g. injury and illegibility.

The linked study regarding retention and handwritten versus typed notes has been debunked with references that are referenced elsewhere in comments on this post. There have been a few studies with insufficient controls (lack of randomization, for one) which have been widely repeated by educators who want to be given attention.

Doodling has been shown to increase information retention. Maybe doodling as a control really would be appropriate.

Banning laptops from lectures is not respectful of students with injury and illegible handwriting. Asking people to put their phones on silent (so they can still make and take emergency calls) and refrain from distracting other students with irrelevant content on their computers is reasonable and considerate.

(What a cool approach to math note-taking. I feel a bit inferior because I haven't committed to learning that valuable, helpful skill and so that's stupid and you're just wasting your time because that's not even necessary when all you need to do is retain the information you've paid for for the next few months at most. If course, once you get on the job, you'll never always be using that tool and e.g. latex2sympy to actually apply that theory to solving a problem that people are willing to pay for. So, thanks for the tips and kudos, idiot)
Yes. And in some cases you can actually be fined and or sued for ignoring accessibility requirements for handicapped and senior users. So you could argue the government will enforce morality if you do not.

Side note, in interviews I always gauge seniority by asking about accessibility. I find it an obvious characteristic of more junior engineers to not have had to consider accessibility APIs. It is a must, and rightfully so.
You might be surprised how much nuclear waste is out there. A bunch of estimates on this thread put it in the "millions of cubic feet" range, which is considerably more than what could fit in a single underground site:

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-total-mass-and-volume-of-a...

Note also that this is mostly just considering high level waste (like, the actual spend fuel rods and reactor parts), and not all low- and intermediate-level waste, of which there is a lot more:

Baseline power is not needed. You need to match the demand.

Nuclear is too expensive.
not in europe afaik
An alternate approach: Somewhere in the middle of my first math degree I basically stopped taking notes in lectures (maybe 1/2 page, or a few lines per lecture, just any "aha" moment, really). Best change I ever made.

This way I could focus on the lecture itself - and as you can't learn this stuff without doing it my "real" notes were made later while doing exercises.
Food poisoning for airline meals is quite rare. They go to great lengths to ensure that it’s the least offensive to the widest range of stomachs (at the expense of flavor and variety). The last thing an airline wants is 400 people fighting over 12 bathrooms 8 hours into a 15 hour flight from LAX to SYD.

Solar decentralizes and democratizes energy generation. It’s waste (panels, mounts, inverters, wiring) is easily stored, transported, and recycled. It can be rapidly manufactured. There are no proliferation issues. It can be freely given to the third world to obviate their need for fossil or nuclear fuels.

Nuclear is worse in every other way except space used, and Earth is huge.

I will never understand the fawning over a technology that has proven so lackluster under human control. (Nuclear is fantastic with rigid controls such that the US Navy implements, but this never happens is commercial fleets)

Australia will be at 100% renewables before the first nuclear generator would come online if you broke ground today. We should stop mourning nuclear and keep ramping renewables and battery production. The model is proven at scale.

an extremely interesting perspective of a leave voter. I don't endorse 100% of his views and he seems quiet bitter (going on about hipsters and people with goatees) but it seems that ignoring these remarks there are a huge amount of points which he actually shares with many remainers.

I took an Amtrak train from LA to Chicago in coach many years ago. I spent practically all of my time in the observation car, so it didn't really matter to me what my nominal seat looked like. I probably did stink by the end of the trip, but I was 17 at the time so it didn't bother me (at least I don't remember one way or the other).

I think there are two kinds of people in the world. One kind needs a sleeper for the trip to be enjoyable, the other couldn't care less. I used to be the second kind, but I don't think I am anymore.
Is a "military-style" gun kind of like a "sports-style" car? Snark aside, this is some pretty weak reporting. Was their parliament or whatever involved at all? The article makes it sound like their prime minister can just arbitrarily ban guns, creating crimes, but I doubt that's really the case. Also the term "buyback" is a really bad term, since it usually implies a voluntary nature. This is really a "forced buyback" or confiscation.

I created a library that just ignores that part of the spec and parses everything that isn't defined in a schema as a string:

http://github.com/crdoconnor/strictyaml

It also does away with a few other anti-features (e.g. the object parsing that led to the epic RoR security hole) and there's a long justification for each.

I would like somehow to create a new spec out of this and see it implemented in programming languages other than python.
I'd run. The only chance the company sells at something that makes this worthwhile, is if they take on more investment and dilute your value significantly.

You got me wrong here. I don't think markup languages are bad.

I just don't understand why someone would create such a "clusterfuck linked by my GP"

If you re-invent a programming language in markup, you basically get a new custom programming language that "probably" can do the same as another non-custom programming language, but without the benefit of many people already know them.

Why not integrate something like Lua or Dyon instead of YAML or XML?

See my response upthread. I don't think this is likely to be all that relevant. Aircraft systems are surprisingly dumb at times. They could easily have calculated an approximate AoA from their known reference data, rate of change of altitude (for extra credit they could use GPS and pressure altitude) and attitude and used that for a sanity check.
Right. I think it deserves mentioning here (with all the Tesla bashing) that Tesla does not charge for any safety features, unlike most car makers.

Current predominant developer culture eschews all responsibility for anything. Modern developers have made it pretty clear that they feel strongly about the moral obligations of other developers, but not so much their own. Everything they do is lazy and selfish. Why make things performant when you can save time by not doing so? Developer time is worth more than pesky user-cattle time. Why make your product smaller and more reliable when you can glue together 100 giant dependencies? You're only going to work at this company for two years anyway, why not use this new unproven stuff so you can put it on your resume?
Yes, this was the whole point of Google, and how they beat Yahoo, etc.
An absolute fortune. I've looked into this, and it isn't economical in any way, shape, or form. Flying across the continent is MUCH cheaper, and with your number of vacation days usually being limited, gives you a lot more time at your destination. The only reason to do this is because you really want to spend your vacation time sitting in a train watching rural American scenery go by in states like Montana. It's sort of like taking a cruise ship, except a lot more expensive and the food isn't as good (or even included in the price I think) and there's not much to do on the train except watch the scenery and talk to people.

If we had 300mph bullet trains going across the country, it would make some sense because you'd get there a lot faster while still seeing the sights, it'd be more comfortable than an airplane's economy seats, and the ridership would probably be higher (which would lead to lower costs). As it is, long-distance rail travel in the US is an expensive disaster.

Right, which is essentially what Dhall is. There aren't any established "real" programming languages that are restricted enough (non-Turing complete, etc.) to use for this kind of case.

S-expressions are never going to succeed; there are too many subtly incompatible variations going around already, and their fans are unwilling to compromise and agree on a common standard.
Sure thing, but Jinja looks like a garbage fire.

Why couldn't they use a regular programming language to create the markup? I mean this is done with HTML and JS all the time.

And 2 billion may be very optimistic even. The current price tag estimate for the nuclear plant being built in Finland is almost 10 billion euros, and over 10 years late. It'll likely be the second most expensive building in the world.

IANAL if you have the refusal to pay in writing (even text message) then surely it's a straightforward matter to evict them via section 8 notice, if you have kept up your end of the tenancy agreement, or section 21 and wait 2 months then court? Also, if you suspected that "Structural damage that requires urgent attention" had occurred, then you are able to enter the property to carry out inspections/repairs without notice (Housing Act 1988), otherwise you need to give them minimum of 24hrs notice.

Indeed it is, and in an honest democracy a question of this importance would be voted on in a referendum. But before doing that you'd first want the public to be informed of the facts. But in Canada the government won't even do that - we have no idea how much property is being purchased by foreign investors directly, or via proxy friends/relatives who have obtained Canadian citizenship.
