My life is not that hectic and I often travel to other countries, yet I have forgotten my passport once and only once. Part of me thinks that once it happens it's very unlikely to happen again.

I still don't use a checklist for traveling, but I do use a to-do list religiously for...actual things to do. After this thread, I may just add a few more lists.
It's still only adding one unit of housing for every three jobs.
That you are asking this question.. then No. And you should bootstrap this with UW or carefully manage your obligations. There are many profs with a foot on both sides.

Not OP, but I found various info about the values of Nigella as a herbal remedy, e.g. with garlic https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4687760/

When I read "black seed" in the comment I guessed it might be Nigella seeds, which are sprinkled atop pides in the local middle-eastern bakeries, adding a lovely piquancy to the bread.

The opposite is also likely. People may have "accidental" kids, or they could change their mind.

(I still agree that 2.1 is a good approximation, but it is also likely to vary on cultural and natural effects)
Gosh - that is freakily like my approach on all counts. Are you sure you're not me :)

I am struggling with how to best organize the items within a section. You have given me some ideas. Thank you.

Am I missing something, or does the author really not mention the strong body of evidence showing that calorie restriction is one of the only interventions consistently associated with a significantly longer lifespan? I feel like it's obvious that Jack and anyone else skipping meals is doing so because of solid science, not "because Stoicism" (and a good thing, too, because how idiotic would that be?)
Apart from the pajamas, you could easily just buy extras of those things and keep them together for travelling. It's so much easier just to grab a set and check afterwards what needs to be replaced or refilled.
>I wonder how f-zero and mario kart look like with this mod.

Several times in the discussions here I read about the checklist in question: but these are obvious items, why do they need to be checked? I think that is the very point of check lists: not to miss actions, because they seem to be trivial/obvious. Be it because the stress levels are high or because one is focussed on the "real problem at hand". In a sense, the more intelligent/capable/experienced you are, the more you are at risk of missing something as you are focussed on the big picture.

As a software developer, while not having checklists as printable documents, I highly appreciate the checklist approach. This can take several shapes. When doing a software release, I perform the necessary steps always in the same order. This makes it easier to correctly perform everything needed. And of course I check the result of every step for the expected result.

Checklist-like approaches can be even very helpful when debugging issues. I often enough get to resolve "the software doesn't work" like issues. And of course, there is no obvious reason, like a meaningful error message or stack trace. To debug this kind of issues, I start with simple and trivial things. While not a static list - the cases are too varying for that - I tend to start with asking and checking very basic questions, like: is there enough free disk space? Repeating the steps which, according to the bug reporter, lead to the issue. At each action taken, verify that any observeable result matches the expectation, even if those actions are not close to the bug. This approach has usually two outcomes. Either a very trivial explanation for the problem is found, because some seemingly trivial step fails, or at least, I know, that all the things tested are note related to the problem. Excluding a wide range of possible problems can be surprisingly helpful in narrowing down the actual problem.

My freshman physics professor had a story about working for a cold war defense research lab, and not being told what the graph he was working on was about until he absolutely had to know. Eventually, it was revealed that the graph was for % fatalities from flying glass by height of airburst, megatonnage of weapon, and distance from ground zero.

It was at that moment, he decided to find a job elsewhere.
Nobody currently, though fzeroracer seems to think it is unreasonable for scientists to do this.
If you want to be remarkably disengenous and take my argument out of context, sure.

But I will not stand for people recommending alternative medicine for absolutely everything. I already had to deal with a family member doing just that, forcing random concoctions of nonsense onto a family member suffering from cancer and attempting to divert them from actual treatment. Especially when they act like they're better than doctors and can't back up their recommendations with anything remotely resembling research.

Yes, if I forgot my passport it might be a lot of money that it cost me. Maybe one day I'll forget my passport, but I rather doubt it. The exact same reasons that surgeons resist following an explicit checklist (which are terrible reasons if you're a surgeon) are perfectly fine for me because the stakes are much lower if I mess up, and in the mean time there are concrete benefits to winging it. It's a lot easier for those benefits to add up to be greater than then downside of a mistake when the mistake costs $2000 rather than someone's life.
They could get a new cross-signed intermediate from a root with broader compatibility.

Statistical machine learning models are just as brittle as hand-crafted rule-bases, when it comes to data they have not seen during training. They are incapable of genearlising outside their training set.

>> The future of generalized intelligence will not be based in brittle datasets, but purely based off repeated self-play, allowing for the bootstrapping of an infinite amount of possible data.

How will general intelligence arise through self-play, a technique used to train game-playing agents? There's never been a system that jumped from the game board to the real world.
> I think that's a pretty terrible stance to take, for a short term event like this...

A nuclear ICBM striking DC is the scenario. Even though the strike is short term, that's a long term event with a lot of unknown variables.

In any case, I suspect it's a probable stance people will take regardless of the merits.
If a Google search results page instructs your browser to request some bytes to preload from a Google server, that request does not reveal anything new to anyone. Google already knows it instructed your browser to preload, so knowing that your browser mechanically followed that request tells it nothing new about you or your behavior that it didn't already have another way to know.

Let's consider the alternative. Imagine you searched for [headache] and a preload request was made to mayoclinic from your browser for their headache document. Your browser when making that fetch would send to mayoclinic your ip, any stored mayoclinic cookies, and the document URL that you prefetched (not the precise query, but the approximate query is easy to guess). This is sent to mayoclinic _even if_ you never click on that document at all, which is not what you would expect privacy-wise.

Once you do click, mayoclinic can very easily log this visit even if the document bytes were preloaded from elsewhere. They can use javascript analytics or simply even load an image on their server (https://amp.dev/documentation/components/amp-pixel). And you as a user are not surprised that clicking on mayoclinic shares your interest in the document with mayoclinic.

I'm not naive. I understand the difficulties of unsecured consumer loans to the poorest borrowers.

As a society though, there are contracts which are unconscionable and these should not be enforceable by law. A lender who typically faces default rates of less than 10% while charging APR's greater than 400%, in my view should not get to use the full force of law to enforce their collections.

Another "rocking chair" story...

I grew up (60's) with a few of these clacking away in my father's HAM shack. He was a member of the Military Affiliate Radio (MARS) program, and used to get things like TTYs for free.

He was really open about letting me mess with things (as long as I didn't take things apart or transmit), so I spent a lot of time playing around with them, feeding punch tapes into them to print things, etc. I knew at the time that punch tapes were a/the recording method for computer programs on mainframes, so I had a lot of "this is a computer" fantasies rolling around in my brain.

RFC 8461 Section 3 states:

"These TXT records additionally contain a policy "id" field, allowing Sending MTAs to check that a cached policy is still current without performing an HTTPS request."

So, yes, it is "skip that HTTP request".

Despite HTTP(S) has caching rules defined, they are just different from "caching" logic incorporated in MTA-STS. Key differences are:
1. Sending party ought to update MTA-STS policy for recipient domain far before it expires.
2. Sending party can check if policy is still actual without direct contact with policy server by mean of retrieving id in TXT record. That significantly reduces amount of requests policy server has to serve in order to keep all senders up to date with its latest STS policy. Normally, HTTPS requests occur only once from each sender per policy version.
3. Sending party must reuse cached policy if STS policy of recipient suddenly disappeared without trace or failed to fetch for other reasons.

In a nut shell, "cache" and "max-age" in MTA-STS has different interpretation than in HTTPS and require some additional (obscure) logic for processing.
Ah! I was wondering why the Wired graphic is similar to how Quanta does it.
I would personally be very interested in any resources you could link to with a recipe or similar.

It likely was not used in this case. A doctor friend of mine once told me that American doctors try to err on the side of doing things they could defend in court if sued for malpractice. Remedies of this sort probably fail to meet that standard.

I do personally know someone who served as "patient zero" in a clinical trial years ago trying to marry Western cancer treatments to non drug approaches, like diet. They lived when they should have really died. But I haven't heard of anything further coming of that initial study.
You can literally exchange the certificates manually in the chain delivered by your webserver using a text editor.
One of the things they do is man the call centers in which the call agents are only allowed to: a) open tickets b) follow a script intended for people who didn't do basic troubleshooting before calling tech support c) be very sorry that your business is losing money due to the service interruption d) give you vague non-answers as to when the team with the authority to actually fix things but which is not allowed to interact directly with customers will actually get around to working on your issue, and e) ask you to kindly rate them highly on the customer satisfaction survey that you will be automatically connected to after this call.

Another thing they do is supply you with an endless cascade of developers who rotate in and out of your dev team on a 3-month basis. In those three months they will a) tell your IT team that they need a newer laptop because their current one gets slow when trying to run 3 instances of Visual Studio concurrently b) wonder why hard drive failures are correlated with rough handling of the laptop c) ask IT to troubleshoot their compilation errors d) only save their code locally instead of to a shared repo e) get upset when 3 months of said locally saved code, which IT was never told about, gets lost when the laptop, previously issued to the dev they replaced, is re-imaged before redeployment as per company policy/standard-procedure f) thereafter dodge turning in laptops to IT after their rotation ends, instead giving it directly to their replacement, causing IT's stores of deployable laptops to get depleted, and thus causing IT to come hunting after the never-turned-in laptops, because the next wave of 3-month devs is coming and hardware to issue them is needed, and finally g) treat company-issued laptops so roughly that when IT eventually does them back, what was brand shiny and new 3 months prior is now chipped, cracked, scratched and covered in grease and crumbs, and has a full kitten's worth of fluff accumulation in the cooling fan.

Okay, that last one was a bit hyperbolic, but every single point there did happen, and more than once.

Some government jobs do want the accreditation--you need it to become a patent agent, for example--though others don't. I think it might be related to whether it's officially an "engineering" or "science" job.

But I will not stand for people recommending alternative medicine for absolutely everything

I totally agree. The anti-vaxxers, for instance, are incredibly dangerous not just to the health of individuals, but to modern civilization.

My point is that just because something is a folk remedy, or predates the invention of the scientific method, doesn't mean it's inherently without value. Rigorous scientific studies can and should be done on these sorts of things—I don't think anyone should blindly accept a folk remedy, especially one contraindicated by proper research.

But there is a certain dismissiveness amongst many folks like us of anything not invented by the pharmaceutical industry that may do us all a disservice.

> Why would I want someone who is not willing or able to get a college degree pilot my $150 million dollar jet?

You could ask this same question about almost any requirement. You just finished saying that prior enlisted are seen as better officers. So why not require all officers to have previously enlisted? (in addition to college or instead of college)

And there are blanket answers to your question that apply to just about anything. souprock pointed out that a college degree takes four years, cutting short their career. And any extra hoops or delays reduce the candidate pool. Remember, the article is discussing a shortage of pilots. The answer might be "because otherwise no one will fly your $150 million jet" or "because otherwise your very few, very perfect pilots will make poor decisions from exhaustion".
But it's reasonable to use these terms since they're the best approximations/guesses we have.

I'm not worried about the loss of ownership and the rise of "disposable games" that the article identifies. Most games, like most movies, are good the first time but not worth a second run, and that's completely OK. We shouldn't expect "games as an art form" from AAA studios. So why not have a model that reflects that reality?

I'll start worrying if indie games got sucked into this, to the point you could no longer purchase them. Indie games are more likely to become high-replay classics (Braid, FTL, Papers Please...) and don't require a powerful gaming PC.

I'll also start worrying if ads start appearing in-game, and that seems like a much more likely outcome.
