That's more a value judgement though isn't it? And I think it totally could matter in some ways. Chemo sounds like hell. It's easy to imagine 1-year survival rates for most cancers are highest with no intervention, and 5-year survival rates are highest with chemo. But 1-year survival rates with any of the things I mentioned might be higher than no intervention whatsoever.

And 5-year survival rates with cancer are pretty bleak regardless so it's not hard to imagine simply helping people de-stress might be the best intervention depending on how you value a slightly better chance of full remission vs. keeping people comfortable.
At the point where the contrast of the text was reduced, I was off the hook. I'd rather do that the way OP did, by changing the background to a pleasant pastel. Either way, I'm impressed with the format.

Is it true that japanese capacitors are the best?

Example ( https://www.hardwaresecrets.com/how-to-identify-japanese-ele... ):

> Japanese capacitors are notoriously known by their above-the-average quality (good electrolyte and good sealing),

Last year I had to buy a new power supply for my PC and some producers mentioned explicitly that they were using japanese capacitors and I just passively accepted it in the same style as "swiss watch"/"french champagne"/"italian pasta"/"german car" (now excluding exhaust system, hehe) ,therefore intrinsecally referring to good quality, but I always wondered "why?".

And if it's true that the "best" capacitors are made in japan, is there any special reason (historical, social, because of source materials, etc...) for that or is it just semi-random (e.g. many japanese that were picky discovered that producing high-quality capacitors was just their perfect meaning of life and therefore covered a previously ignored slice of the market)?

Thx :)

As someone with a Monzo account, but whose main accounts are with Barclays and Nationwide, I find the hype around the "challenger banks" in the UK a bit unexpected. I'm not really sure I understand what they are offering that is so revolutionary. I still think it's great they exist as competition is overdue in the UK banking sector, and I hope they do well.

I find Monzo works well for what I use it for, which is tracking my daily small item spending (getting lunch, buying a coffee etc), while the Barclays and Natwest apps work well for the "grown-up" banking. Between the latter two I have 4 bank accounts, two credit cards and two mortgages, and the apps (combined with Faster Payment's awesome transfer time) make it ridiculously easy to manage my finances.

Monzo app is definitely very nicely done, and there are some neat features, but for my day-to-day banking I have absolutely no issue getting everything done with the Barclays and Nationwide apps. Both could do with a bit of UX work and decluttering, but they are perfectly fine.

Are the rest of the main banks just really awful compared with Barclays and Nationwide?
The same activity can be "numbing" (used to escape real problems and responsibilities) for one person, and energizing and truly comforting to someone else. World of Warcraft absolutely had (and has) people who fall on both sides of that divide, and I'm sure the same is true for Fortnite. It can also start as constructive/energizing and become numbing/escapism if you make someone feel ashamed of it, as you say.

More of a historical quirk than anything else. IIRC, the commercial UNIXes were descended from the original Bell Labs code. Linux is a independently developed clone of UNIX and was so primitive in the era where commercial UNIXes were dominant that more than a few old-timers look down their nose at Linux as "not a real UNIX".

Five years isn't great, but it's not so bad for something inexpensive, and you need to be able to buy a replacement in case of hardware failure. It's more important that getting a new one is easy, it works the same, and no data is lost.

In my case, it's a nice improvement over maintaining a relative's increasingly unreliable Windows XP computer running obsolete software for long past its expiration date.

Yup, that's when I started to switch to DDG. I remember Google saying that you needed to add '+' +before +words that must be included instead of "putting them in quotes"–how annoying. But even using their new operators, I couldn't get answers like I used to be able to. I already didn't like their data gathering practices by then, so gimping search for me made the transition a breeze.
Interestingly even up to even 9-12 months ago I remember people consistently saying that DDG was so much worse than Google, which I always figured was a result of user error, or a result of not caring about tracking and leveraging the Google profile. I'd been off the Google grid for a while so I couldn't really argue, but I knew that I got significantly better information from DuckDuckGo, having grown accustomed to the level of detail needed. These days I probably only use Google a handful of times a month. The concept that they are purposefully soiling search results to add value to ads and sponsored results sounds about right, honestly. Advertisements used to be much less relevant than the results I'd get if I inputted a string of 5+ words, but anymore I have to be careful not to accidentally click on an ad, as the results tend to be terrible, and I'd rather enter a url into a browser than click on an ad I'm actually interested in. .

I mean pathological from a death avoidance stand point. For instance, if you are a marathon runner you are running far more than is necessary to contribute to a longer life span. I'm not a runner, but as a weight lifter I lift far more weight than is necessary to contribute to injury or death avoidance. That is the nature of sport. I don't know any old athletes who don't have pretty banged up bodies.

Ignorance or not, the success of GNU (such as supplying the C compiler used in your BSD darlings) was put into place by people in their 20s-40s mostly. Long before any high schooler could afford a CD burner let alone wait to download an ISO.

I'm sure as hell not a cow, so I don't really see your point.

The market would be a lot more concerned about the happiness of cows if cows had the independence and the personal rights to switch farms.

Consumers are not property and have free will. Equating them to cows shows an extremely serious lack of faith in humanity from you.

Say an Insurance company owns 1,000,000 Tesla shares worth $273 million at the current price. It can lend them to a 'short seller' for a fee say 1% for 3 months.

The insurance company will get their 1 million shares in three months but it will get an income of $2.7 million. This means the portfolio is generating a positive return or it lowers the effective cost of the shares. But by helping short sellers it can wipe out your portfolio.

eg If the short seller(s) force the price down to $150 your shares have lost about $120 million.
People on "older, weaker computers" are likely running a browser we also don't support (<IE10) on an Operating System we don't support, and they'll likely see a TLS error before even hitting the load balancer (we don't support SSL or TLS 1.0).

It is unlikely that there exists a subset of users with a modern enough computer to even hit our web servers that is under-powered to the point of not handling JavaScript. Our analytics definitely don't show this.
>Christian's believe in miracles/supernatural by definition. This includes faith healing.

The first assertion is true. The 2nd doesn't follow from the first--many Christians don't believe that miraculous events still happen. Faith healing in particular has a very specific meaning, and many denominations outright condemn it.

As to what extent belief in the possibility of miraculous healing affects the vast majority of Christian's actions. I'd say no more than the belief that there is a tiny chance that a science might be wrong about a diagnosis affects a non-believer's actions.

>It absolutely prevalent everywhere in the religion and its different sects. The Terri Schiavo incident was not specially exempt from this belief.

People existed who believed that there was a small chance that God could choose to heal her. It doesn’t follow from that premise that these people were against removing her feeding tube because of that belief--it certainly doesn't follow that the broader Christian community was against it because of that belief. That was not the stated reasoning of the vast majority of her parent’s supporters.

This case just doesn’t provide evidence that Christians are more likely to pursue aggressive treatment or less likely to accept death because they believe God will save their family members because there was no national debate about miraculous healing.

The national debate at the time was primarily about whether or not she was conscious and was her life worth living, whether or not it’s cruel to kill someone by denying food and water, and whether or not denying food and water through a feeding tube is the same as killing someone.

If they weren't going to use the plutonium immediately, reprocessing was stupid. Spending the money they didn't have to, in order to make Pu they didn't need, just to have the Pu sit around, made no economic sense. And no, it doesn't improve the economics of waste disposal.

Understand where reprocessing came from. Way back then, the story was that nuclear was going to be dirt cheap, but would ultimately be limited by the cost of uranium. The solution was breeding, to provide all the expensive fuel those thousands of cheap reactors would need. Reprocessing was needed to close this fuel cycle.

But this story bears no resemblance to reality. Reactors turned out to be expensive, the number of installed reactors was far below projections, and uranium is not in short supply.

One still hears echoes of this old narrative from people who don't really understand where it came from, and why it doesn't apply.

increasing the number of capital crimes might actually to increase the number of murders. If you are committing a capital crime, you have a strong incentive to get rid of the witnesses.
I'm not saying that the relatives of those murdered should have a role in deciding anything.

I'm reminding the people commenting here that these "children" are being punished specifically because they have done things of real consequence that have negatively impacted society. That apparently seems lost on every one of you here. These ankle bracelets are the best things that we can do for them, not the worst. The alternative is juvenile detention. That's not a tropical vacation getaway. That's potentially much worse for them on multiple levels.

But no, keep going on with the out of touch "awww, those poor innocent angels" crap.
> A 15-22 year old is fully capable of doing that.

Actually, the brain is still a work in progress until age 25.

https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=141164...

> So the changes that happen between 18 and 25 are a continuation of the process that starts around puberty, and 18 year olds are about halfway through that process. Their prefrontal cortex is not yet fully developed. That's the part of the brain that helps you to inhibit impulses and to plan and organize your behavior to reach a goal.

> And the other part of the brain that is different in adolescence is that the brain's reward system becomes highly active right around the time of puberty and then gradually goes back to an adult level, which it reaches around age 25 and that makes adolescents and young adults more interested in entering uncertain situations to seek out and try to find whether there might be a possibility of gaining something from those situations.

There is a difference between improving on our history, and denying the underlying facts of the universe that led people in history to adopt certain customs. The former might be not sending 15-year olds off to fight the neighboring tribe. That is progress. The latter would be denying that a 15-year old is fully capable of horrific violence, and deeming him a "child." That is foolish.
Agreed. Browser diversity might be a pain for developers, but concentrating 2 of the 4 dominant end-user computing platforms on the same browser engine doesn't sound like a positive step for users [0]. Particularly when the engine in question is developed and maintained by one of two primary surveillance tech firms on the planet.

Perhaps I'm too jaded, but there's an unmistakable smell of the fishy about this. Dominant mobile + dominant desktop OS vendors decide to cosy up together...

I never thought I'd see the day that I mourned IE's decline having lived through the zenith of its hegemony. Like parent, I similarly would much rather have seen MS link up with Firefox for the sake of diversity. Perhaps that's too fanciful.

Perhaps a more interesting pairing would be Apple and Firefox, given that both are increasingly playing the pro-privacy card...

If ever we have to, we could do both, and then still call it "humming" since it would still be that and it's a very pithy (two syllables) word for it.

It's also possible that humming has little to do with sight and more to do with using the volume of humming to help indicate the strength of the sense of the room -- that actually is a very useful aspect of humming. However, humming became a thing concommitantly with participation by people with limited sight, which is probably why I remember that as a motivation, but in fact it might not have been! It's been a long time now that the IETF uses humming...
I really dislike that argument. It seems to say that, without incentive of making profit, no great progress would be made. It's such a pessimistic view of humanity. Many great people have done amazing things with little to no regard of fame or fortune. I'm not denouncing capitalism, but jesus christ, can we acknowledge that blind pursuit of profit is starting to damage society as a whole.
Uranium is actually quite common; it's cheap because it's an extremely controlled market (who are you going to sell it to?) with fairly limited demand (it doesn't take that much uranium to run a power plant or make a nuke, a cube about a meter per side can run a reactor for a year). Because it's so cheap, it's not substantially prospected so there is a good chance there are large reserves that can be exploited if we go looking for them.

And, if it comes down to it, we can pull near-unlimited quantities from seawater at $200-1000 per kg (~10x current pricing). The costs of nuclear power generation are almost entirely capital costs and insurance, the fuel costs are practically a rounding error, so this does not substantially change the costs of nuclear power generation.

So, uranium will probably never be super valuable. Strategically important, and nice to have in a conveniently accessible form, but not economically valuable.

Thanks, good to know! This year's will be my last donation to Wikipedia.

Realized the same thing about a year ago about SPLC (splc.org). Once I realized how much cash they have I saw that my contributions would have more effect elsewhere. I like what splc does: help discriminate which groups are hate groups and which aren't, among others. But they simply don't need any more money IMO.

The difficulty really depends how deeply integrated your application becomes with the underlying cloud provider and its services. It may be a simple application consisting of few a JS Lambdas and DynamoDB tables, or it may utilize half of AWS' offerings. In the case of the latter, may god help you.

Thanks for bringing vw to my attention, it sounds great! I tried it out and the main problem is 2vw looks much more reasonable on many mobile displays, but puts a lot of top margin on wide screens (laptops/monitors). I still want to retain the same size margins for top/bottom and left/right, so a happier medium would be to vw for mobile and rem for tablets/laptops/monitors, but then that's too much trouble for diminishing returns in my opinion.

You've attempted to claim my position as one that states that

1.) population outcomes being different are okay because men win

2.) population outcomes are different because women don't want certain careers

3.) promotions are fair

The problem is that I didn't make any of those points, nor do I believe them.

You can't make the case that our arguments are symmetrical, because they're not. Yours is an assertion, mine is a claim of insufficient evidence to substantiate your claim. The burden of proof is yours. I'm not making the claim that all population outcomes are the result of biology and everything is perfectly fair, you seem to just believe that this is my claim. What I'm actually saying is that I have a problem with an ideological position which assumes in the absence (or sometimes in the presence of) alternative explanations for why populations arrive at different outcomes, there is a tendency to be satisfied with a de facto position stating that outcomes are necessarily due to sociological forces, specifically patriarchy/sexism/racism. I'm saying that this is a totally unjustifiable position to work off of as a baseline. Working backwards from default conclusions, particularly when it comes to things that are as complicated as this, is not an acceptable strategy.

That's a neat trick, though I only accept bug reports over GitHub, but that doesn't stop people from contacting me through any other email address or social media account they can find.

The problem is not the lack of processes, but that we don't have a good way to enforce them.

Even on GitHub issue templates are often ignored, and there is no option for making them mandatory. Some projects resort to accepting bug reports only through a third-party service such as Google Forms, because that supports mandatory form fields.

GitHub could really step up and offer proper tools for controlling how bugs are reported.
There's a fair bit in way of difference now, and it's definitely long since passed a point where plenty of fixes couldn't be copied between them.

That's correct. You can feel happy doing a variety of things, such as hobbies, work, dining out with friends, etc. Your not engaging in sexual intercourse does automagically stop happiness in tracks.

Nothing in the dictionary definition of the word "fulfilled" -- "satisfied or happy because of fully developing one's abilities or character." -- indicates necessarily having sexual intercourse.
