>He could have spent less to avoid debt

Easier said than done in most cases, not all people are 20 or 30 something above average IQs and can write some app or website and by the end of the year he would raise a couple of million from investors or get a job in some fancy startup, most lives are just pathetic and the need for money can make people do unimaginable things, the guy is 61 years old and he is jobless and in debt

>no excuse for resorting to treason

of course there is no excuse and it's totally a treason, I am just noting that how pathetic life can be
As in “one Fabrice Bellard is worth 10 or more average programmers”.
Glad it came through. Yeah I need to have it save the emails periodically
Depends, it might also be a feature if you suspect people under-report their drinking. Your non-drinking group may in fact be drinking just as much as your moderate drinking group.
Are you suggesting they’d voluntarily delete your data?

Opt out, to me, just means that they’ll share your data if issued a subpoena. However, I don’t know if you could get a subpoena to search the entire DNA database of a company.
Fair enough. It's definitely "from scratch" compared with most graphics courses which start at the OpenGL level, but as with whether a language is "low level", it's somewhat subjective.
Some of that larger scale complexity may be due to irreducable emergent relationships that reductionism alone can't explain without essentially simulating those reductionist relationships to the scale you need from the ground up (which defeats some of the goals of reductionism).

You may need perfect information in order to fully simulate such systems (a snapshot of all initial conditions and perfect knowledge of physical laws). This may be the case for many scales of relationships we're interested in.

Current reductionist theories can't tell me if I'm going to have coffee tomorrow morning. I don't expect them to either, yet they still have very useful purposes. They may never be able to tell me if I have coffee tomorrow and I'm fine with that (maybe due to error propagation inherent in quantum mechanical principles or the need for say emergent models).
When .NET introduced LINQ this is 90% of what the .NET world talked about for the next 3yrs.
> I wouldn't compare a comprehension to a loop because a loop doesn't typically have an output.

Loops in lots of languages have outputs. It's kind of necessary in expression-oriented languages.

But it's true that comprehensions are different than Python loops in that way (and are, in fact, equivalent to maps with joins and filters, like an SQL SELECT statement.)

If you had read all:

> This [..] study [..] focused on people of East Asian descent, many of whom have genetic variants that limit alcohol tolerance.
> Because the variants have specific and large effects on alcohol, but do not effect other lifestyle factors such as diet, smoking, economic status or education, they can be used by scientists to nail down causal effects of alcohol intake

and

> The research team - including scientists from Oxford and Peking universities and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said it would be impossible to do a study of this kind in Western populations, since almost no-one there has the relevant alcohol-intolerance gene variants.

it's the base pillar of their study..
In Indonesia, phone plans is not popular. Heck, I can probably say 80% use prepaid. Prepaid is easier to get, cheaper, doesn't require verification (in practice), and promotions heavily favor new SIM cards (so it's very common for people to change number since it's cheaper to get new one vs maintaining it).

source: I'm Indonesian (but I use postpaid).
No, that's a strong point of the study. The later section of the article explains why.
Having a healthy society has always been a national security issue: there’s literally millennia of documents on how governments collapsed because outsiders funded dissidents.

These morality lessons we see aimed at societies aren’t mere moralizing — they’re an evolved code of conduct designed to keep a vibrant whole in the face of genuine adversarial conditions.

People have forgotten the value of a strong national identity in many Western nations, largely because of the activity of groups funded by outside nations.
My understanding is that personal finances are a major consideration when evaluating people for security clearances.
lol, they already took it down? that was fast
Was that meant as a joke or am I completely missing the point here? Mathematics provides plenty of tools to work with infinities. In plural, because there are quite literally infinitely many different infinities, which we know thanks to maths.
Financial stability is one of the most important criteria checked when you apply for clearance.

I read through a public list of the decisions on clearance appeals a couple of years ago, and financial concerns were a very common reason for denied clearances. (Might have been http://ogc.osd.mil/doha/industrial/)

Another thing I found interesting from that list was that a lot of concerns (e.g. earlier drug consumption) could be successfully addressed, but lying on the questionnaire was pretty close to an absolute no-go. I also expected a lot more denials for political opinion to stop ideologically motivated whistleblowers, but barely found any such entries.

The energy of a photon doesn't go anywhere, it just seems to us to be lower. The observed energy of a photon depends of the relative motion. If you move at the same velocity as the observed object, the redshift disappears and the energy of photon is there.
> “If FamilyTreeDNA can help prevent violent crimes, save lives, or bring closure to families, then we feel the company has a moral responsibility to do so.”

The FBI (and a variety of other organizations) can and will use the information for any and all purposes imaginable, and a number that are unimaginable.

As a family member of someone who sends in a FamilyTreeDNA kit, you're powerless to opt out. An implicit, traceable link to your own DNA suddenly enters the system against your will, and you have no recourse. Suddenly you become part of this this experiment in mass surveillance.

The people of rich democracies are way too trusting of their governments and don't read enough history. Saying that this service will be used to " help prevent violent crimes, save lives, or bring closure to families" is naive at best and something monstrous at worst.

Some uses are easy to predict. Genocide, for example. Others, no so much.

- Imagine a Bird-type gig economy in which thousands of cash-strapped people are hired (possibly by FamilyTreeDNA under contract from the FBI) to swab public places and objects for DNA, while the company compiles the results into a massive internet of DNA things. Now imagine that database being linked to a face-recognition system using public cameras.

- Imagine being turned down for a job because someone happened to get a peek at your FamilyTReeDNA profile and noticed a marker for mental illness.

- Imagine being sent to prison because some jackass politician starts believing in criminal DNA markers and you fit the bill.

I'll give credit to Bennett Greenspan for this. He knows how to wrap a massive invasion of privacy in the sweet-smelling blanket of saving us all from the criminal boogeyman.

I've tried diethyl ether <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethyl_ether#Recreational_use... recreationally. It is interesting (the metacognition part) but not very pleasant (the vapour is odourous and actually painful on your nose/lungs if huffed), and difficult to swallow if ingested. Also you stink for hours afterwards. And it's dangerously flammable.

As always, when I try something new I do a lot of reading up first to suss the risks, and one article I came across claimed that it was less harmful than alcohol. I don't know if that's true, just reporting.

Read up erowid experiences first if you do try it.
And if you do, don't be fucking stupid - I get tired of the way people so easily abuse any drug, even alcohol. Perhaps especially alcohol.

I can't particularly recommend it.

FYI anyway.

Just for information, as I do not know if this suits your use case: on my phone, LineageOS with no Play Services installed, I can watch YouTube using Firefox + the website. Maps 10.1 can be installed via Yalp Store and works pretty well.
I’m sorry but you can rationalize literally almost anything using that argument. I’m quite sure the babies will get made just fine without alcohol.
Not only that, but I can't stop anyone I'm related to from creating a shadow profile of me.
KaiOS offers a decent package.

But unfortunately, there are many things missing yet.

- decent crypto base
- decent set of apps (with contraints on user/input interfaces) [ as of now, there isn't an email app available yet! ]

And pretty much every phone vendor/TelCo is building a walled-garden and an appstore on their own, considering the licensing possibilities offered by KaiOS. Every TelCo will block sideloading of apps and restrict users from offering a full fledged KaiOS experience, as it turned out in the Android world.

Jio runs Jio AppStore.
>> Please note: while the JioPhone runs on KaiOS, its app store is managed by Reliance Jio and called the JioStore. For this reason, we can’t guarantee the below apps will be available on the JioPhone, nor does it mean apps available on the JioPhone are available in other countries.

Polymorphic modules are a necessity for system design. To be used sparingly. Turns out that Java/C++/C# provide a mechanism for polymorphic modules at language level.

Beyond that, failures all around. On top of my head:

* The insistence of designing systems fragmented in tiny state machines instead of systems processing immutable values passed around wholly and processed by pure functions. In the UI domain we finally got back to our senses with React.

* The insistence that values do not exist, but rather objects = data + code. Leading to brittle abominations like CORBA, agents, etc. For distributed systems, a humble RPC passing values [NOT objects] back and forth is infinitely more valuable.

* The insistence that inheritance is a useful design mechanism, leading to highly coupled codebases. Also, a prime cause for object-relational impedance mismatch.

* The insistence that one should overengineer code for extension without modification at every turn. How about just write the simplest version of the code for today, and refactor it if new requirements pop up.

* The insistence on messaging as fire-and-forget [aka goto] instead of structured function calls. Decades after we've learned why goto-oriented programming is a poor idea.

* The insistence on overusing polymorphism to mock everything in testing. Making it hard to trace how the codebase actually operates, and making it expensive to change the codebase because tests and code are tightly coupled.

* The insistence on overusing polymorphism for all type-based dispatch. Try writing a compiler in a purist OOP style, with a visitor for every type-based switch. Maybe it works in Smalltalk, 'cause in Java/C++/C# it gets boilerplaty really fast. Or even better, "encapsulate" your AST data into "objects hiding their internals" and do all type-based dispatch using vanilla polymorphism. Nothing screams "fun" like wading through tens of files to piece together what should have been a single switch block.
I hate that everything has 5o be checked against null in Java. It sucks a lot
So the value prop is markdown. Besides that, you have to compete equally with Mailchimp, etc which is impossible. Why not offer your markdown parsing as a service layer on top of existing providers' APIs?

There is nothing wrong with those acronyms. In fact studies that promote moderate alcohol consumptions as healthy are more suspect if you want to take the sponsorship angle.

Moderatee alcohol use can have small benefits on certain diseases, but overall mortality seems have no such connection.
So the alcohol intolerant are the control group?
Yes, it can be. But it can also be more complicated than that. Reducing the effects of alcohol to its direct impact on health is just that: reductionist. Then drawing moral conclusions from it, as many readers of such reports do, is a fallacy.

>my wife and I will surely share a bottle of wine tonight at dinner

For example, many people will have found wives because of alcohol, which acts as a 'social lubricant'. Having a wife is good for one's health, etc.
There’s definitely a strong angle about irresponsible decisions in this guy’s case but note also that areas like DC are extremely expensive and civil service pay scales have been slipping behind the private sector for decades. Most people react by cashing out to a contractor but there’s always a risk of something more nefarious, and the opposition only needs a few bites.
Do people only use 10% of their brains? (2008)
Sweet. Those people who drive for less than minimum wage are mostly water, but they also contain proteins and other trace elements. A centrifuge can separate that out.
Couldnt it be modeled as electrical activity inside specific areas of the brain under certajn circumstances?

Any religion that exists today started when organized governments already existed. An overwhelming number of religions that ever existed no longer have even a single follower. For example Slavic pagan religion was eliminated by the government of Kievan Rus enforcing Christianity on everyone [1]. I'd even argue that the only way religion can have power is when it is intertwined with the government, which is why separation of church and state is so important.

I've been using a $169 Android One Xiaomi and the only difference I can tell between my original Pixel 1 is with the Camera and lack of USB-C. Xiaomi gets 3x the battery life. I have a Sony A6500 that I use for photos and just WiFi transfer them to the Xiaomi seamlessly. No reason for a really cutting edge phone anymore unless you use it primarily for gaming or absolutely need a top tier camera?
Gas engines also have over temperature problems. Indeed, there is an entire cooling system do deal with it. Mostly, as long as that is working and you aren’t going full throttle on an extremely warm day you don’t have to think about it.

Any mechanical assembly will have a maximum working temperature, it’s just a matter of figuring out witch critical component will fail first and planning accordingly.
That's right. This already is happening. I got bored of waiting for "Linux smartphone" and accidentally found that it's actually quite easy and affordable to build a wearable computer from scratch. And I built myself one of course.

I just used new generation of the same display, and a one handed Twiddler 3 keyboard.

Raspberry pi doesn't have cellular, so I am looking at Zero phone project which has a solution. But so far I am already extracting value from my wearable computer in many easily implementable use cases.
Well, we have a universe of, perhaps, two trillion galaxies that live together in a regularly nonuniform background radiation that can be predicted by a mathematical model predicated upon our advanced understanding of physics and a single point-source event we call the Big Bang, whose physics are beyond our physical reality's description and require some serious hoops to be jumped through (e.g. inflation) to align its progression with the state of our universe today, and yet we have the model and it accurately predicts the precision of our measurements of it (the CMBR) and even its non-uniformity. The universe has a precisely-defined conversion between matter and energy (thanks, Einstein) as well as precise laws that conserve both matter and energy; therefore, nothing gets created and nothing gets destroyed, only transformed, and yet some people deny that something literally "extra-ordinary" is the Source of it all, stuff and its interrelating laws.

To say there is no "Prime Mover" is the height of hubris, for we live in a universe with laws that bely its own creation. For we creatures -- no matter how cognitively well-endowed we are -- to say that we are capable of understanding everything about the Source of this creation is not only absurd, but unscientific and logically unsound.

5/6ths of our universe's matter is missing.

The energy that keeps the universe expanding is missing.

We have no explanation for how the universe implements gravity and, thus, how it works with respect to the other three fundamental forces.

And yet "scientists" claim there is no Creator. The interrelation of all the dynamical systems at work in the various levels of the universe is so precise that even a small variance of one of them -- e.g. the Fine Structure Constant -- would not just break the entire structure; it would render it unmanifestible.

No, we can not understand how this universe was created, because, as the time-dependent creatures we are, the Creator of all that exists, including time itself, is literally beyond our comprehension. Knowing that "the Unknowable" exists should be common knowledge by now, especially for the physics community, as they work to transform subsets of Unknowns into Knowns.

All you who downvote such opinions think yourselves better than Einstein who himself understood that there was a Creator, even as a non-religious person who failed to crack all the mysteries of this wonderful creation. The problem of hubris is a purely personal problem that involves a completely different mathematics fought in a different realm.

Only by accepting the truth of reality can one successfully explore it, my dear friends. Plugging one's ears and yelling, "Blah! Blah! Blah!" is not the way of progress, even if it is the way of social media's self-selecting herds. This grand experiment has shown -- among other things -- that people who can not refute any points of an argument would simply rather make the argument go away. Everyone who knows the history of scientific advancement knows what became of that vast majority who ridiculed Boltzman and Einstein.
We did exactly that four years ago with JanOS (http://janos.io/), it turned (Firefox OS) mobile phone motherboards into IoT devices. You could also control some GPIO, see http://blog.telenor.io/gonzo/hardware/2015/02/10/gpio.html for an example of remapping the volume buttons to control a new LED. Unfortunately we couldn't find a single OEM that wanted to sell the motherboards if they weren't going in a mobile phone, and ODM's didn't want to work with us either if we wouldn't build phones.

Perhaps I picked an unfortunate example, but the en-sv version of Moby Dick is beyond hopeless. E.g., ‘translation’ of the word “fare” in the sentence “So fare thee well” is “passageraravgift“. While I can see the connection between “fare” and “passageraravgift“ (literally: passenger fee), it is not going to help anybody get through Moby Dick in a meaningful way.

You cannot criticize academic studies here. You see, everything has to be evaluated on its own merit, so you have to read all 535.134 pro and 611.232 contra studies and have time to debate them, just like a bureaucrat.

It's the same as: There are more real numbers than you can write down. (Everything you can write down using symbols can only be enumeratable many (you can enumerate all symbol combinations starting with single symbols), but there are uncountable many real numbers)

So now you say: Could you give me an example of such a real number that we can not write down?

Answer: No such example can be given because even e or pi or any other real number constructed by an equation is given by just inventing new (countable many) symbols (like π) or by writing down an algorithm which consists of countable many symbols.

So to answer your question: There could be problems that can not be explained by math but in the same way you might not even be able express/name/describe the problem.

Really glad i invested in a grain coffee machine. Get 1kg of "fair-trade" grain for 15 euros, does this make 200 lattes ? ok, so that 0.075 euro per latte. So yeah, paying $5 for a latte does not seem like a good deal from my point of view. Of course you have to buy the machine, you could probably get a second hand one for 200$, or even a broken one for 100$ and fix it.
